Any suggestions. I will not attempt to solder anymore. Crazy glued a deathbucker into my epi explorer. It still works but no other attempts have been successful. Ive had a super distortion sitting silently in an old ibanez for 4 yrs. Is there a remedy for this. I would be too embarrassed to take it to a shop and have it done at this point.

66 Gibson sg along with 70's silver face twin

What would be the "wonkiest" or "most interesting" band you can imagine if you hand picked the band members. Have as many as you like.

Now that would get the building condemned. What are 2 things that Jerry Lee Lewis, Jerry Falwell and mickey gilley have in common?

Take a well known or iconic guitar personality and have that person play a different instrument with same onstage personality or antics. Examples: Pete Townsend with harmonica or Angus Young with upright bass

But it hasn't gotten to Robert Plant yet,.........

Robert Cray and Robert DeLeo walk into a bar and see Robert Fripp on stage playing guitar while STANDING.

Girlfriend recently, 3 months ago, gifted me with a 3 guitars and a banjo from an estate sale. 3 questions. 1st guitar is as best as I can figure is a 1978 Gibson Les Paul custom, no case. Any quick way to tell if it's authentic. Everything but the strap locks seems authentic but even they look old. Wear on top of neck. Smells seems age appropriate with no cigarette smoke. 2) BC Rich Avenger. Best sounding gtr that I now own. Seems mid linish quality wise but rhythm sounds dirty and clean excellent. 1 tone knob, bc rich brand bridge hunbucker only. Are all of these gtrs sold new for under $1000? Again not sure if authentic. Looks to be though.3rd is what seems to be a 1979 ovation celebrity. Didn't know celebrity was that old. Big bowl. Sounds pretty good. Has what seemed to be major cracks on top but using camera on phone and my fingers inside, (can only imagine the joke I could come up with on that one) they (2) only go through clear coat on top but not wood. Are celebrities that old?

I'm surprised Don Henley didn't demand to be up front when drumning

Is that the way they played live? Be funny if they faced him away from audience but left him in front

Can anyone recommend a short scale steel, six string guitar or banjo.similar in size to a tenor ukulele. Actually I'm interested in nylon too. 6 string

Has anyone ever put the drummer front of stage?

Since posting I realized that I have gone from using 11's and 12's down to 10's so I can play Open A# and not worry so much about the neck. Also I also realized that on electric Ive gone to trying to find a quiet round wound string for slide playing. Haven't been successful with that though ghs brites (half wounds I think) are promising. But costs about as much as flats ($16) so may as well return to chromes. I just hAte 20 bucks for a pack of strings and all flat wounds I come across cost at least $20. That's just electric. Acoustic breakage almost no open tunings or slide. Just some form of standard usually tuned down between 1 and 2 1/2 steps. Then apply capo as needed. I just put on DR red devils on a b.c. rich but still a bit noisy. Acoustically it must be string gauge but I'm actually extremely gentle on strings with right hand. 99 percent is flesh (short nails) on steel,nickel or whatever it is. I need to contemplate it a bit more. Would less winding on peg affect break?

Last 7-8 months I have been plagued by strings breaking at the tuning pegs of strings 1 and 3. This occurs on my electric and acoustic guitars. Different string gauges and brands. Only to happens when tuning, I change keys fairly frequently which may include a capo on acoustics but normally I twist the pegs to change key/tuning. This has become a recent issue 6-7 months and has not affected banjo, 5 or 6 string, nor ukulele. I'm thinking that it has to be a burr but cannot see or feel anything. Again only on on 1 & 3 strings. Different guitars different strings same result on most of

Capos I love with acoustics. I like quick change spring loaded ones but I think the best ones I have are the ones that screw down from the back. Just takes longer to change jets.

Hello from Tennessee, home of george dickel and someone named jack.
dewayne replied to dewayne's topic in Introductions
Yeah, he is a bit arrogant too. George Dickel, straight,(not Strait) is my preference between the two but white label is the way I go, or used to. I wonder if baptist churches in Lynchburg preach on the evils of alcohol with J.D. being the main source of revenue for the town? Not TN but wild turkey 101 (KY) is really smooth, really smooth. Years back every time I drank whisky or bourbon I broke a string while tuning. Every time it seemed. Way before Internet, had to drive 40 minutes to Huntsville, Alabama when I got the money, to get strings. That was electric gtr. Never broke one on banjo though. What year Les Paul is that? -
Sorry late, back from hip replacement #2. They do not make oxycodone like they used to. I only finger picked the last several years with very short nails but began experimenting with finger picks (not metal Dunlop banjo picks) and pretty much have settled on the white Fred Kelly picks. Except when on banjo, I hate thumb picks and only use kelly picks on index for more clarity and volume on acoustic when strumming. Kinda like if Toy Caldwell used his pointer instead of thumb. Can't you see. Mostly skin on steel though.

I gotta have an amp with crunch. If so, I have recently, 2 yrs, started using an eq pedal by Orange called "two stroke". It sounds ornier than the 1979 yz 125 with 250 jugs my dad rode when I was a kid. Handlebars wide as a semi......or the Moore 150 amp modulator which, someone mentioned, is probably cheating. Joyo also has an extreme metal pedal that I purchased and grudgingly admit could easily replace the Mooer and the EVH 5150 overdrive pedal I rarely plug up.

Does Wal-Mart deliver that?
