There are lots of them (Acoustic Guitar, Soundboard, Guitar Review), but
even more important is that there is a reference book at your local library
that lists most all magazines in the US and some from around the world,
broken down by category, including address and phone numbers.  That would
be a good place to start.  I assume you mean acoustic guitar, not the
science of acoustics (for which, presumably, there are also magazines).  I
don't remember the name of the book, but the Reference Librarian will take
you right to it.

I have a cutaway Suzuki acoustic steel string guitar.  I, too, think it's an
excellent guitar - my friends with Takamines prefer to play mine.  I paid $200
for it in a pawn shop.  I have never seen another Suzuki, and you are the only 
other person I have heard of that has one.  I would imagine that the similarity
in names is a coincidence, but I don't really know for sure.  Does anyone know
anything about these instruments?  What do they cost new?

Well, ftp.nevada.edu is an anonymous ftp archive.
If you've got access to ftp, just go there login: anonymous          
                                              pw: e-mail-address
cd /pub/guitar and you'll find hundreds of directories of different
groups conraining the tabs and crds...

If you aren't familiar with ftp, please ask!

Bows.  On guitars.  I'm no expert on bowing, but I do have
some potentially usefull observations.

1:  When I first started wondering about this years and 
years ago, I was told that guitar strings would seriously
tear up a bow.  Looking at metal violin strings (they're
not all gut -- I've never seen nylon) they do seem to 
have much finer windings.  I have not done the experiment.
(I would suggest trying flatwounds.)

2:  Instruments in the violin family have curved bridges
(and fingerboards considerably more curved than that of 
a guitar).  With a flat bridge, as on a guitar, you won't
be able to bow one string at a time except the first and
last -- and even those will be difficult unless your axe
has a seriously narrow waist ... about like a cello.
(I understand that violinists sometimes substitute a
flat bridge in order to play chords, BTW -- you could
easily bow chords on a guitar.)

3:  Next thing to a bowed guitar -- I got to play a
viola da gamba at Pennsic earlier this month.  Six
strings, gut frets (tied on, like a lute), and a curved
bridge.  (Tuned like a lute but lower, BTW.)  It was
a lot of fun, but hitting the right string out of six
was very difficult.  (The owner didn't seem to have
much trouble, of course.)  Fingering on so curved a
fingerboard felt quite strange but didn't slow me down
all that much.  Having my girlfriend, a violinist, 
there to show me ways to hold the bow helped, but I
wound up plucking, picking, and strumming it ...
and then went to play guitar and mandolin later with
rosin all over my nails.  The viola da gamba I got
to play with had a nice sound -- much nicer when the
owner or my girlfriend played it.

4:  If you do bow chords on a guitar, remember that
the bow is going to hit every string, so you'll 
have to remember to mute strings you don't want to 
sound.

Sometime back I had the idea of building an electric
guitar with a curved bridge and a sharply cut-in
waist, so it would be suited to bowing.  Now I'd
probably call such a thing an electric viola da gamba,
and I'd still like to try building/playing one.  Just 
give me a month or two to get the basics of bowing!

Hi John,

There is a BIG gap between the low priced classical guitars, that leave
a lot to be desired as far as sound is concerned, and the 'decent'
sounding instruments. It is not uncommon to see a good instrument selling
in the $2500 on up range. These are of course hand built. The 'name' brands
are usually cheaper (Yamaha,Takamine,etc.), but there is no consistancy!
I have had some experience with the Yamaha 'cheapies' and have found a decent
sounding instrument among a multitude of 'thumpers'. The point being that
your friend should play as many instruments as he can, until he finds one
that is to his liking. If he is (apologies if female) already an accomplished
player, then I would strongly recommend spending the extra money and getting
a hand-crafted instrument. WARNING: It is possible to find sh-- hand built
guitars also! The joy and inspiration that can come from a fine instrument
far out-weighs the extra cost. Just for reference, I bought a Robert Ruck
cedar top / rosewood back & sides
in 1981 for $800. I was recently offered $3500 for it! The guitar is truely
a fine instrument. I might sell it for $10000! There are deals like this out
there and all you have to do is persevere!
I never really pay much attention to scale length. Unless a person has
unusually large or small hands, the scale length is more a luthiers concern
than a players. But hey, its fun to talk about!

Aloha,
Rusty

As for staying in standard tuning while playing slide your pretty well li
mited to doing single string stuff.  The number of riffs you can do is
pretty limited.

Arlen Roth has a book on slide guitar (published by Oak Publications)with
a very small section at the end of the book on playing slide in standard
tuning.

I've heard a few people play good sounding standard tuning slide, but only
with a band backing them up.  Again it was only single string stuff with
limited solo's.  Standard tuning slide sounds a little sparse by itself.

(By the way Keith Richards played a lot of open G stuff and Led Zep did
a lot of bluesy stuff in open E)

Be sure to do this from the /pub/guitar directory, and not in each individual
directory.  You will still get a listing of the contents of all of the 
directories within /pub/guitar, without all the hassle of changing directories.

I do this every do often, so I can peruse the list at home, or grep for 
something specific.

Hello!

This is my first post to this group tho' I've been reading
it for a while.. I was wondering if people had suggestions
in terms of what stuff to work on for someone like myself
who comes from primary a blues guitar background and is
trying to get into Jazz. I purchased a couple of the
Jamey Aebersold play-along CDs and they're pretty helpful
in terms of getting around the neck, but I'm still pretty
bewildered as to the genius behind a Wes Montgomery solo, etc.

Not that I'm expecting to be able to play like a master such
as him :)! After transcribing a solo of his it was real neat
to see some of the logic behind his playing but I find it real
hard to imagine my thought processes working fast enough to
play over a quickly modulating form, etc. Because of my blues
background, I have no problem soloing over different chords in
a given key, even with modulations going on every 8 bars or something..
But when you're going from a Locrian to a Dorian back to an Ionian
in a matter of a few bars :)!! How do you make it flow?

Anyways, suggestions as to stuff to work on would be greatly
appreciated! Right now, I'm just working on my fluidity up and
down the neck w/ the modes.

Also, suggestions for rhythm guitar voicings to work on and
what excercises to go through?

Thanks a lot!

I read recently that Metheny has used several amps placed around the stage,
each fed with a (different) delayed signal, to get that BIG sound.  I never
thought of that...

Satriani used a single channel out of some famous mixing board, combined 
with a Rockman and Marshall amps on occasion, on "Surfing" if memory serves
me.  I wanna know how he got his wah sound on the first song on "Dreaming
#11".  On the latest album, I really hear a Marshall amp on the back end
but I'm not sure.  There was a cover story last? month in either Guitar
World or GFTPM that may detail his rig.  On one song, he used an Eventide
H3000 UltraExpensiveHarmonizer (re: Mr. Vai) for harmonized pitch shift...
"The Extremist" is a Great Album, methinks.

	OK, here is what is up with my RP1:  I was playing with headphones

If I tried to play softly then the noise would be there as well, but at
the same level as when I played louder.  Is this a problem with the RP1?
I tried eliminating effects like compression and distortion that would
obviously cause lots of noise and the noise remained.  The Noise Gate
would only kill the noise if nothing was being played.

DigiTech makes a <1000$US unit that also handles chromatic tracking. The 
big boys, including Vai and Satriani, use this one instead of the Eventide
on tours, because the Eventides are really studio gear, and could easily
break in the hands of your fifteen-tattoo roadie. I'm saving money to
get one of the Digitech versions. My ART T2 handles basic harmonizing
quite well anyway.

Strat and Tele switches are what they call "knife switches", which work
by having a "blade" slide between a kind of pincher contact.  The
contacts are like a bit like your thumb and index finger, and like
trying to pinch something between them, there is a limit to how much
pressure you can apply when they are extended straight out (you know,
like a shadow puppet duck's head).  So, what happens occasionally is
that the "pincher" contact for a given pickup fails to press hard
enoughon both sides of the blade that passes through it to make reliable
contact, and you get the problem described.

Two solutions...

(1) Get another switch (about $8-$20, depending on the source)

(2) Whip the pick-guard off and try to repair the offending contact.
You can either VERY DELICATELY pinch the "pincher" contact with needle
nose pliers, or alternatively, decrease the gap by tinning either the
offending pincher or the blade contact. DO NOT attempt either of these
if you are not handy with a soldering iron, since if done wrong, they
fuck up the whole works.  However, done well, I find that a bit of
judiciuous tinning here and there can often improve unreliable contacts
in switches and guitar jacks. Just be sure to get all the flux and crap
off afterwards.

	I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a good copy of
Capricho Arabe by Francisco Tarrega.

Thanks,
