If I sound picky, I'm sorry. However, the lyrics to Lithium go as such:


I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends.  They're in my head.
I'm so ugly, that's okay 'cause so are you.  We broke our mirrors.
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care.  And I'm not scared
to light my candles in a daze 'cause I've found God.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I'm so lonely, that's okay you shaved my head.  And I'm not sad.
And just maybe, I'm to blame for all I've heard.  And I'm not sure.
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there.  And I don't care.
I'm so horny, that's okay my will is good.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I like it, I'm not gonna cry
I miss you, I'm not gonna cry
I love you, I'm not gonna cry
I killed you, I'm not gonna cry.

(These lyrics come from inside the Lithium single.)
Thanx

Alittle delayed follower here:
	
	I (as the most of the readers here) play the guitar,and my situation 
has been most scimilar to the one described in this letter.
	I concider myself a habile player, but the most of the comments from 
women is: Oh ,I cant sing thatone,do you know xxxxxxxxxxx?"
the one reffered being some soft piece of shit from a hiclass comercial 
band, or played by a guitargod, and not for justa habile player.
I say "No I do not know thatone" or "sorry I dont know the cords" or 
everyone starts singing it and a poor only habile guitarplayer is left 
behind as he couldn't pick it out at the moment in just that key,usually 4 
or 5 different ones!!!!

  I saw an advert for perfect pitch in a keyboard magazine which may be the
  same one in the Guitar World mag.  The ad used to following argument to
  promote the product:

     If it is possible to teach someone to identify different colours, why
     shouldn't it be possible to teach to identify different notes (and
     reproduce them).

  I beleived this for a bit until I realised that the average person probably
  can't distinguish close shades of the same colour.  They'd point to 100
  different shades of green and say that they are all green, so the
  implication appears to be false.  I beleive the same applies to sound
  (bit I could be wrong :-)

  Guitar players listening to other guitar players can probably pick some of
  the chords played.  I have no problem in telling when someone plays a D
  (with the open D string), or an open G.  This is because I know the notes
  that make up these chords and I know how they sound together.  I don't have
  perfect pitch though, because the I would still say that a guitar player was
  playing a D and G on a guitar tuned up or down a semitone (say), even though
  they are in fact playing D and G flattened and sharpened respectively.

I've been playing an intro lick based on the original g-scale down, that I
think sounds sort of cool- basically, I added a bassline from the G and C 
chords, playing 1-5-3-1, and putting the original scale above it, on the 
afterbeats. I also play it pretty slow- not as slow as Lyle Lovett did on the
Deadicated album, but pretty slow, and fingerpicked.

The + signs mark eighth notes.

                             if I play a bass note with it- either d or g, if

Anyway, play around with this if you like, but if you want the original, go

Hi,

I wanted to know if you folks could tell me if this price
for a used guitar (at a music shop) is reasonable:

Epiphone Century - handcrafted body - don't know the year, but I do
know it is not made anymore.  It has one pickup, and I know little
about pickups, so I don't know what kind it is.  The price they gave
was $425.

Also, any info on the guitar itself would be greatly appreciated!
I have this guitar on hold for a day, so I hope I can get at least
some responses in a day or two!  Thanks a lot!

Not all Les Pauls have humbucking pickups; the Pro series has those
fabulous single coil "soapbar" pickups. The Pro series is a 'modern'
update of another series whose name escapes me, which also had the
soapbar pickups. These pickups are about twice the size of strat 
pickups, so they have a full, warm tone, and still lots of high end.
They are a little noisier than humbuckers, though...

By the way, if anyone out there has seen my STOLEN black Les Paul

Hi. I'd appreciate it if somebody could advise me on the following:
My local music shop has got a second hand Ovation (acoustic, with
mike output) for sale at A$700 (approx. US$500). When questioned
about the wisdom of selling it at price approaching the price of
a new Ovation, he said that it was 1970s vintage AMERICAN-made
model, much better than the Korean-made current models... hence
the price. He added that manufacturing of the guitars was heaps
better in those days. Sounds familiar d:^)
Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is it worth it, or just a snow
job by the dealer?
One last thing: the guitar also has had its neck totally rebuilt
(don't know why, maybe it had warped). Is it good or bad or indif-
ferent?
Thanks in advance for your replys by email or post.

Bent notes are bending the string(s) using your finger at the fretboard.
Pull offs are when a higher note is played and the lower note that is to be pl    
	played is fretted. And the highernote is let off in a way similar to str   
	strumming, therfore sounding the lower note.
Hammer ons are the oppisite of pull offs, where you fret and pick the lower note
	and hit the fret of the higher note.

I don't know how the Texas Special pickups sound but there is an article
in Guitar Player that describes Fender single coil pickups.

According to the article, the Texas Special pickups are nothing more than
one of their vintage-type strat pickups with more windings. I think this
would yield a pickup with more emphasis on lows/mids than on highs.

On a related topic, I want to reduce the hum in my Strat.  Can anybody
give any hints (besides shielding)?

Unless I am mistaken, or musicians have redefined tension to suit their needs,
tension is measured in kg m/s/s.  Just a little note of clarification,

A local music store here in Orlando is selling their current stock of the Roland
GP-16 Guitar effects processor for $400.00 (without midi pedal-board).  I
currently use the old "stomp boxes" for all my effects and have been wanting to go
"rack" unit. I am primarily a rhythm guitar player (some leads when needed ; we 
have a killer lead player) and I double on keyboards for songs that need it or
when we don't need two guitars playing.  I would probably want a unit that has
a lot of variety (some distortion, some flanging, good chorus, reverb, etc.).  A
lot of units I have looked at lately (GSP-21, etc) seem to be heavily loaded with
distortion/overdrive patches.

What are your ideas/comments about the Roland GP-16?  Is the $400.00 price 
reasonable?

Although this circuit will not provide any gain itself, by buffering
the output against potential signal loss due to cable capacitance,
you end up with a brighter sound that tends to "cut through" better
(assuming that's what you want).  In effect, although the guitar
"sounds" boosted, all that's happened is you hung on to the whole
signal, and not just what was left at the end of the cable.  Given
how powerful many contemporary pickups are, this is probably all you
want anyways, in terms of signal enhancement at the guitar.  It gets
my vote.
