Would anyone seriously consider owning a small device capable of reproducing
MOSTLY the feel and playing sound of a full-sized guitar. Just by going
through the hand and finger motions (aka: Bill and Teds, "excellent!!!!
Twingle, trill, twang!" air-guitar playing)?

My question isn't "does one exist?" or "can it be done?" I just want to know
if people would buy such a device, given they could plug it into an amp or
use a playman (walkman with guitar input) to practise or play along with
satch on the bus, without having to carry a guitar around with them.

Thoughts?

I'd like to hear from those few rare beasts like myself that actually trust and
appreciate the sound of their amp and have thoughts, feelings, divinations
about studio efx processors, i.e., no distortion, just delays, choruses,
reverbes, eq's, etc.  Just pure efx loop racks.  How about good models, good

generally a futile pursuit, but I need help with ambient efx.  Thanks, all.

Just got this great "Guitar Handbook" by Ralph D. (forgot the name), and while
skimming though it, I went across "the 3 chord theory".

(by now, you experienced players know that I'm a beginner. So don't laugh :-)

Basically, it says that, given a key, a nice chord progression can be obtained
with the chord built on the key note, then on its 4th, and then on its 5th.
e.g. for the key of C, you get: C F G.

What I didn't get is that the given examples in the book contain 7th chords:
C F G7.


Ok, it still sounds pretty nice, but just for my information, I'd like to know:
why 7th? Just because it sounds nice, or is there any harmonic rule behind it
that I didn't get? (if it happens to be the case, what is this rule?)

I guess you mean the new +$US3000 Eventide Harmonizer. You should 
hear it used everywhere on Steve Vai's "Passion and Warfare", as well
as on the latest Whitesnake album (Vai again).

FYI, I saw Steve Morse using the unit on stage a week ago here in

pot, so I could change from rhythm to lead more easily. Is it worth tryin'?

Then how about those ohhh sooo pricey Gibsons with the same
repli-junk.  But then, Fender and Gibson are both in the business to
make money, and if there is a significant market for a particular
guitar, they'd be letting down their shareholders, their customers, and
themselves not to cater to it.  
   What surprises me about Fender is their made in Japan replicas.  It
seems to me you have one mind-set that will buy replicas, and another
mind-set that will buy Japanese, and I'm somewhat surprised that there
would be a significant overlap.

I would be interested in people's comments on effects processors such
as DSP, Zoom, Boss etc. I have recently played with a Zoom 9002 but
found some of the effects rather disappointing or esoteric, not
knowing what I should be listening too (I have never used any effects
pedals etc.). Also a lot of the factory presets seemed not very
useful, but maybe I play the wrong type of music (blues orientated).
Which effects processors would you recommend?

I can't remember the guy's name but I would think that playing around
with notes, and then just being able to pick out notes in a song so
you can play it is a bit wastfull of time.

I have been playing about a year now, and I don't admit to being
any good, but I am learning and improving. The way I started was to
buy a book which looked to cover the blues type stuff, you know chords
and stuff, that's a realy good thing to start with, also about 8 months
down the line I started having a few lessons, (only 4 so far) but
lessons are realy usefull ya know, well worth it. I have realy started
to learn alot from having lessons. It's a good idea not to have lessons
the instant you get you'r guitar though, wait a few months, learning
chords (not that difficult) then you should be use to your guitar and
be relativly at ease with you'r guitar. 

But I think the best advice is always be patient and stick it out,
and look at books (guitar ones) in a librarie just to get a feel for it
all, it's not necissary though, but it can be interesting.

The rockman is a complete preamp. Unlike an effects box, the output is quite
high. Have you tried running the Rockman with the volume on low into the 
CLEAN channel of your amp?
I've used an X-100 in a Rockmount rack adapter direct into a power amp
for years, with much success. If your amp has an effects loop, you could
try running the Rockman into the loop return and bypassing your amp's 
pre-amp completely. Some amps have "power amp in" or "pre-amp in" or the
like on the back panal, which would be another way of getting straight to 
the power amp. The only thing you would be missing is a volume control, unless
your Rockman is an Ace with the volume knob.

BTW Def Lep used an Ace direct to the board for most of the guitars on their
latest.

i have an ibanez 550. i love it. a lot. one thing about it
that makes it groovy, to me, is that the neck is fairly thin
and the body isn't too heavy and bulky.
i've had that guitar for a few years. now i am looking into
purchasing another guitar.
i was thinking of another Ibanez, but i thought it might
be good to get a guitar by a different brand to have a different
feel with another guitar.
i play music from jazz (when in school and studies) and alternative
punk rock in my free time.
any suggestions about what you've found to be successful in
situations like these?
if possible, leave me private mail, i can't log in too often.

I've done several guitars in a similar way to this, but I go for
a `snug' fit (not completely loose) and use superglue. The advantage
of super glue is that you can crack it out again if you have to. It also 
forms a very smooth strong finish to seal up gaps - eg under the ends of the 
fret corners b/w the frets and the finger board where there is usually a gap
that needs filling to a smooth finish for comfortable playing. I actually run
a bead of super glue right along both sides of the frets where they meet the
finger board. Its almost like soldering, it flows in so smoothly.

As another tip, super glue is brilliant for filling chips in lacquer finishes
where it dries rock hard and clear and can be sanded or even scraped smooth 
to the existing surface. Also for glueing on nuts and sealing around their edges,
etc.

Hello All!

I bought a Carvin DC150 (Stereo) electric several years ago, when
the model first came out.  This particular guitar (I'm the second
owner) was ordered from the factory with a custom RED! paint job.
(The DC150 was only offered in white, black, and natural that
year.) Does anyone have any idea what it's worth now?  It's in
very good condition, as I only used it "semi"-professionally for
about a year.  

BTW,  I'm not going to sell it.  I've been out of the scene for
a few years, and I'm just wondering how Carvin guitars are doing
these days.  Thanks!
