Don't use crazy glue or anthing else of that nature. It will just sink into
the wood and won't do any good. You don't have to glue it on bulletproof.
Just hold it in place. Elmer's Wood Glue has always worked really well for me,
and unlike epoxy-type glues, you can pop the nut off when you want/need to.
Using too strong a glue could damage your neck. I have seen the nut take a chunk
of neck with it when removed (for replacement, etc.) when it had been held on
by epoxy. String tension will do most of the job. You just need to make it
"stick" a little bit.
Definitely do glue it down, though.

I use an electronic tuner to get the guitar as tuned as possible and then use
harmonics to fine tune it after that and then it sounds fine!  I tried using
the "pipes" when I first started and they're just too indistinct for electric
guitars!  As for acoustic guitars, bin the pipes.  A tuning fork rested near
the bridge will resound through the body and give a much better note for
tuning to.  Also, I find that when perfectly tuned, most chords sound good
but as you go up the neck, the sound deteriorates slightly.  This is really
obvious on my old Shaftsbury.  It's got a neck like a banana but it was my
first guitar and I'm all sentimental over it. :-)

Get yourself an electric tuna and your fish will come true!

I probably shouldn't try answering this, but what the heck:

The term MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, meaning,
of course, that it's a digital interface for a musical instrument --
usually electronic keyboards, but guitars also. It involves a set of
computer hardware and software that allows you to apply the digital
processing power of a computer to an instrument. You pull the sound from
the instrument into the computer, change it digitally, and feed it back
through the amplification system. With keyboards, MIDI systems use the
digital information that makes up the "sound" as a sort of raw material
that can be shaped, theoretically, into virtually any sound (though
that's probably overstating it a bit). I assume the same is true for an
electric guitar with a MIDI hookup, though I've never used one.

The Zoom is GREAT!  I love it!  The 9002 has 6 effects that you can use
simultaneous, you choose the effects from about 22 or so total.  That
is, Compression, Distortion, Modulation (one of Chorus, Pitch, Flanger,
Phaser, SFX), Delay1, Delay2/Reverb.  It's wonderful, sounds great! 
They also make a few cheaper ones as well that you may prefer, I'd
recommend you call up Zoom and ask for literature or check them out at
your local music store.  The new 9001 has stereo inputs and is supposed
to be great for recording, and has built-in presets for guitar, vocals,
accoustic, synth, etc, etc.  Zoom's number is 415-873-5885.  Ask them
for some brochures.  I love it, but of course that could also be my
preference of loving small gadgets that sit on my desk and are easy to
modify settings.  That why I'm selling my new Korg A5.  I thought I

    Although I agree with Stephen that this is probably notating a duet,
    let's not get too literal with the tablature.  Remember that the tab
    is a record of what a transcriber HEARD, a record of the pitch being
    played at that time.  The guitar is capable of producing the same
    pitch at several places.  These same two pitches could be played at
    5th string, 7th fret (E) and 4th string, 4th fret (F#.)  This is a
    human-sized stretch.  It may, of course, being out of position for
    what ever notes surround it, but the point is to understand the
    instrument and especially the fingerboard - where the notes are.

    Overly pedantic, I know.

I'd echo everyone else's opinion that this seems an excellent idea however,
I'd suggest that maybe a new newsgroup for this, eg alt.guitar.lessons or
somesuch would be neccessary as the lessons themselves would almost 
invariably generate a pile of follow-up postings and invariably flood 
alt.guitar making it difficult to pick out the lesson orientated postings
from the general guitar postings for some types of newsreaders.

Just a suggestion.

Just a few thoughts from a novice guitarist...

I like the sound of this.  I'm trying to soak up all of the ideas that I can, and
I'd be an avid reader of any lessons going.  Any that I couldn't use now I'd keep
for future reference.  That leads me to another idea - perhaps they could be archived
for new readers/players?  This maybe suggests that a separate group would be a good
idea.

back to spec at Steinberger in Newburgh, New York before they moved
down to Gibson land.  It is in beautiful condition.  Originally a
an all black guitar, I bought a white face plate for the guitar.
which i now keep on instead of the black one.  As the tag GL2TA
signifies G-Guitar
          L-the all graphite body (square)
          2-two humbuckers (EMG low impedance)
          T-TransTrem  steinberger's patented transposing tremolo
          A-Active circuitry (for that extra kick)

    I have had the guitar for about 3 years and originally paid $1495
(not including tax).  I have a brand new gig-bag for it too (the       al
original bag tore).  A steinberger strap,  steinberger's patented stand
for the instrument and  and  and  i think thats it  :)
    I would like to get $1250 for this whole package but i am negotiable on
this price.  If you are interested give me a buzz.

buyer to also live within the driving distance.  if you dont live within

There's no publication that I know of that would list this, and if there
was it would probably be incorrect.  Here's why: For hifi applications you
want a set of tone controls to have a center flat position, subtle
adjustments of tone, and no interaction between the controls.  For guitar
amps it's just the opposite; there's no need for a flat position, you want
wide adjustments in tone, and it's okay or even preferable if the controls
interact (ie., the frequency of one control changes with the setting of
another). Y'know, it's the fundamental issue of "producing" versus
"reproducing" music.  

For instance, standard Fender tone controls (ie., the tone controls used on
Twins, Showmans, Deluxes, Bandmasters, and so forth) don't really have a
flat position (although bass=3,mid=10,treble=3 comes close), and the
controls interact like crazy.  But they sound great!  Those funny bumps in
the response are what gives the amp it's character.  The Mesa/Boogie tone
controls are identical to the standard Fenders.

The tone controls in Marshall amps are similiar, but with different valued
components, and are identical to the tone controls used on the Tweed
Bassman.

Tone controls on HiWatts and Voxes are different still, and equally quirky.

ADA, Ampeg and Carvin amps actually use hifi style tone controls, probably
tuned a little differently from typical hifi frequencies, so it's
reasonable to publish specs for them.
