Subject: Re: Why are strings on acoustic guitars so high off the fret board??
Date: 9 Oct 92 19:24:52 GMT
Organization: EDS Research


I have a Martin D28, about 20 years old.  It's a great sounding guitar, but
the action is higher than that on my Les Paul.  Not only that, but the
strings are heavier, so they are harder to press down.  If I lowered the
action much, I'd get fret buzz, partly because I play it quite hard and the
strings vibrate more than they do on the Gibson.  I feel that to play an
acoustic guitar well (steel string--nylon string acoustics are a different
matter altogether), you just have to develop the strength and power to deal
with the hard action.  I play acoustic almost exclusively, and my problem
goes the other way, i.e., when I play the electric, I play it so hard that
I break a lot of strings.  So my advice is to just get down *hard* on that
baby, and it will eventually come together.  Your fingers will hurt like
hell for a week, but it'll go away.

You can use most of the standard UN*X commands from the ftp prompt.

For example, ls will get you a list of files (I usually use ls -FC to keep it
from going off the screen so fast and to see what are directories and what are
files.)

When you find a file you want, type:

	get filename

If there are multiple files you can use mget instead of get.

For a more complete set of commands, type a question mark at the prompt or
read the man pages.  If you aren't on a UN*X machine locally, let me know and
I will send you a text file with the manpages in it.

   Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does this meen ?

"Phantom power", from the latin "phantasma potere" (powerful, but from no
apparent source), means that the output signal of a preamp and the supply
voltage to power it both run on the same wire.  

This is possible without compromise due to a fluke in the circuit: you can
cut the circuit at drain of the FET, place the left half in the instrument,
place the right half in a powered box a cable away, and it'll work just
fine with just a hot lead and a ground lead.

This technique is used alot with condenser microphones, and many
professional mixing consoles offer phantom powered mic inputs -- inputs
with a resistor pull to a supply voltage.  Those Radio Shaft PZM mics are
phantom powered f'rinstance.

Eh? This _worked_?

It seems to be that the felt would dampen string vibration, and thus rob
some of the sustain and tone. Over the years I have learned that EVERY 
little thing affects tone. You may want to consider a new nut.

This would be my method of choice for having a volume pedal, except for
one thing:  The send and return cables that have to run across the stage
from and back to your amp.  For me, its two more cables in addition to
my guitar cables, MIDI cables, patch cables, AC cables, etc. that I 
already have to deal with.  What would be ultimate for me is to control
amp volume with MIDI volume messages from a pedal -- that would not
add anymore cables to my setup.  But unfortunately, in the times that
I've done this either I get the dreaded MIDI "zipper" noise from the
big stream of MIDI continuous controller messages, or the volume sweep
is too coarse for my tastes.  Oh well, too picky I suppose...

If you are looking for a guitarist that sounds like chet atkins you
probably heard a French guitarist named Marcel Dadi. He recorded a
bunch of albums in the late 70's early 80's. He might be on the Kicking
Mule label.

If you are looking for Chet Atkins records, be careful! IMHO some
are really trash. The guitar playing is excellent but frequently
they add corny back up singers and schmaltzy string sections to
get a Muzak kind of sound.  Try to stick with his solo albums.

If you are used to playing an acoustic guitar, I would suggest
a used Gibson ES-125.  This is typically a tobacco sunburst,
one P-90 pickup, 16 inch lower bout, non-cutaway guitar. Gibson
made tons of these guitars in the 1950's. You can usually find
these in vintage guitar shops for between 350 and 550 dollars.

The acoustic sound is so-so. It won't sound like an acoustic, but
it will have "some" acoustic sound. Also, don't expect the action
to be as low as on a solid body electric. It will "if set up right"
be lower than an acoustic though.  The electric sound is
great! The P-90 has a full sound. A very 40's - 50's electric
guitar blues/jazz sound.  This guitar IMHO is one of the
best kept secrets in the vintage world. Get one.

P.S. It has F-holes. It has one tone and one volume control. A
floating pickguard.  ES stands for Electric Spanish.

Get any of his recordings with the Hot Club of France. These are
recordings made in Paris in the early 30's. Don't expect 90's

the CD reissues, but still, they are a bit scratchy. If you

Subject: effects loop...

Wayne,
The honest answer is that there is no right place to put many effects.
B. Wagner suggests that you put the wah before the distortion. I disagree.  Now,
I say, plug everything in with the wah before and after the distortion and
*listen* to the sound.  My opinion is that a wah-before-distortion weakens the
wah sound, flattening it to the point where there are basically two sounds,
depending on how you move the pedal.  In other words, there is no smooth
gradation in the mid-range boost that a wah provides.  Rather, what you get is
an either/or.  Now, since--especially these days--the wah is a poorly understood
device, this may not bug you.  But if you want to drag a whole new limb into
your guitar playing, you certainly want the wah-pedal to act as more than an
on-off switch which gives you massive mids, or none at all.
To obtain a good wah effect, put the wah *after* the distortion.  Other than
that, a set up like this works well:

Guitar
Compressor
Distortion
Pre-amp (or EQ if you have separate components)
chorus-phaser-wah-delay
reverb
power amp.

Now, the chorus-phaser-wah-delay order really depends on what you want.  Putting
the wah before of after a really long (500ms+) delay makes a very noticable
difference.  Again, *listen*.
The debate comes down to a question of order for the first three components
(excluding, obviously, the guitar).  No one, I think, would debate that the last
three elements must go last, and in that order (remember that the first of the
last four is the chorus-phaser-wah-delay group).

Thanks,
Any one who think I'm full of shit or has anything more to say:

Radio Shack still had them a couple of years ago, I don't know if they still
