ok Web - in my opinion, I would stick to 10's, not to thick for electric; but also not too thin like 9's and they give you a thicker tone than 9's and are easier to bend than any other thicker gauge - also stick to ernie balls, I have found them to be very excellent for me!
Hope that has helped! :]

Usky and Doug, you have completely avoided what he needs - he cant google this stuff because his internet is bad!!
I would recommend lick library, they do a few artists that you might like! Or try and find a few music stores when you reach dry land! xD

Hi Flash,
you should practice every scale you can, but start off by using your minor and major scales, then moving onto more complex scales like the pentatonic, myxolidian, lydian, dorian etc...
it depends on what sort of music you play, but its all down to personal opinion to be honest! :]

Well, you can, but not simply.
Two parts: silencing the speaker, and then listening on headphones.
You can pull one of the wires off the speaker, that will make it silent. Make sure to put tape over the little metal connector on the end of the wire, so it doesn't touch anything.
Alternatively, you can push an unwired plug into the POWER AMP IN jack. That disconnects the preamp and so would also silence the speaker.
Now to listen. The amp itself won't drive headphones, but if you have a litttle mixer, it probably has phones jack on it. Plug a cord from the amp PREAMP OUT jack to an input on the mixer. Use the mixer as a headphones amp.
Hope that helps! :]

I guess its just down to what you see on the forums tbh - its a guitar site, so I dont see why you'd need to, but heyy: thats just my opinion xD

i would tend to agree in most ways tony - but i feel that jazz is more climb, yet blues is more of the struggle. how well you play them however - depends what kind of a mood your in, yes there are chords which are hard to play involved in playing jazz, but an easy jazz sounding chord progression which i use in standard 12 bar timing (4/4) is:
repeat twice
.-------------------.
x2 x1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E| 5 5 | 7 5 | 5 0
B| 5 5 | 7 5 | 5 0
G| 6 5 | 7 5 | 6 1
D| 5 4 | 6 4 | 5 0
A| 7 5 | 7 5 | 7 2
E| 5 x | x x | 5 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A7 E7
(barred)
Anyway hope that helped you understand where im coming from - by the way, A7 - B7 - A7 - C7 is the backing track to the main posted lick, again 4/4 timing; standard progression.
Hope this helps you out,

Hey Everybody.
Heres a post for blues, and even some jazz players out there who want to learn a blues/ jazz lick on the guitar.
Firstly play this in 4/4 timing / 120 bpm, if you dont understand timing - this please ask and i'll happily make a new post! Also if you can't read tab - which this is, i would be also glad to do the same!
Anyways Blues And Jazz Are similar in a lot of ways depending what way you look at it - they both include long improvisation on the guitar / other instruments, mainly trumpets, organs etc.. but playing these styles of music is sometimes hard if you cannot' feel' the music, so progressing is difficult and long winded. Like so many other good players i have met - you have come onto this blog hopefully finding the 'lost progresion' unfortunatly no this is not it, but its a good lick none the less!. So here i am showing you how to play a little lick that i learned. This is in the key of A (5th fret)
HI E | |
\/ PLAYED TWICE \/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E | 5 | | 7 | 5 | 5 |
B | 5 7 | 5 7 5 | 9 | 7 | 5 7 |

As we all know, Strumming, is a hard thing to master - but a few simple exercises and techniques to help people through, i thought, would be an excellent topic.
When People Talk about exercises on the guitar they tend to shy away / come off that site quickly beacuse they want to learn fast complex things when they have only picked up a guitar, but let me give you a chunk of advice - NEVER EVER STOP PRACTICING! , this is a soul thing when playing on any instrument, ask any pro; they will all agree.
Anyway, back to my subject, Strumming Patterns - love them hate them, gotta' learn them
Here are a few that have helped me (letters in brackets are represented chords)
(G) (D)
1) DOWN, DOWN, UP DOWN UP DOWN DOWN,
(E) (G) (D) (A)
