 Well some weeks ago I asked for pricing on American standard strats
heres what I found in the San Diego area, anyone seen better? Overall
comments?

 Moonlight Music (Encinitas, Ca.) Best Price: $550.00 (tax inc/no case)

 Guitar Center (San Diego, Ca.) Best Price: $575.00 (tax & case inc)
                 Japanese Vintage reissues: $475.00 (tax & case inc)
                     
 I have visited other dealers, but prices and or selection were too
awful too mention.
 I did find an '83 used Standard Stratocaster with freeflyte trem
going for $550.00 (tax & case inc) that I really like. I am not to
familiar with this type of trem and would appreciate comments from
any of you that may have had dealings with these.

What?? The other "bozo" is the LEAD guitarist Marty Friedman.  Marty
plays pretty much all of the leads.  Mustaine only plays a couple leads.
As for the "bozo" just playing rhythm, sorry, Mustaine plays pretty much
all the rhythm.

Marty is a phenomenal player.  Mustaine is a great rhythm player (and
good at leads, too).  Mustaine may be cocky, but he is undeniably good
at playing and writing... and singing? :-) yeah, I like his voice, too.

Megadeth is THE speed metal band out there, especially from a guitar
point of view.  Metallica can't touch these guys anymore.  Of course, my
opinion.

Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I screwed up my chord entry.  It should be:

	xoo  
	------
	||||||
	------
	|||2||			
	------
	||||3|
	------

So that it looks a D w/o a F#.  Another version that I am curious about
is the D w/0 the A.

I'm not so new, but not an expert.  Here's a start, then I'll clear the podioum
for a real expert to straighten us both out:

Arpeggio = chord played one note at a time.  Take any chord, start at the top
or bottom, play one note at a time up or down.  You hear this a lot without
realizing the difference between 'arpeggio' and 'scale'.

Arpeggio 'over' a chord:  I assume the original poster didn't mean one git
doing all this.  I think he/she means 'band playing one key/chord, bitchin'
git player arpeggiating during that' translating to 'over'.

It depends on how into subtlety you are. If you want all the nuances of 
different players' tones you're going to need lots of stuff including different
guitars and amps. However, a good range of variation is possible with many
guitars setups.

The "full shred" overdrive sound is usually done with a humbucking pickup
with a midrange emphasis and rolled off high end. You can't get a bright bite
out of these pickups (except a distortion bite) -- it's 
like getting blood out of a turnip. Other pickups
let through a more extended high end. EQ or your guitar tone control can smooth
these out a bit when needed. Some guitars/pickups provide a switching option,
a coil-watchamacallit, or different kinds of pickups.

Much of the clean sound comes from the wood and construction of the guitar. 
Everything else just lets this come through (or not). This inherent tone is
also important to overdrive sound, but possibly not in the way you expect.

A good amp, usually tube type, is the ticket to a good "basic" sound. Effects
provide the more synthetic flavors.

This is really a matter of personal preference: you won't get an objective
answer from the net to this question.

My advice is:

(1) Think about the various factors which might point you in the right 
    direction.  
    
    For example, do you want a fixed bridge, a traditional style tremolo, or
    a Floyd Rose type tremolo?  Do you prefer a clear single-coil sound, a
    warm humbucker sound, or do you want a guitar that has both?  Do you want
    a particular scale length and string spacing (e.g. Gibson, Fender and
    Rickenbacker all have different spacings and scale lengths), or does it
    not matter to you? 
    
    Perhaps you don't have a definite answer to any of these questions, in
    which case you will have to try out a lot of guitars to discover what you
    really want.

(2) Find a shop which has a large range of guitars, and a relaxed attitude
    towards people trying lots of guitars out.
    "Which shop in my area has the best range" is a *much* better question 
    to ask the net.  As this question is of local interest, using the
    Distribution: line or a local/regional newsgroup would be a good idea.

(3) Although "What guitar should I buy" is a matter of personal preference,
    you could try asking the net a more specific question, such as 
    "What do you think of the current Fender strats?", or 
    "What's Hohner's reputation for build quality these days?"

(4) Many people have purchased guitars and then immediately asked the net
    whether or not they bought a good guitar.  I really don't see the point
    in this.  I mean, what do they expect people to say?  Did they buy
    the guitar "subject to my friends thinking it's good"?

Re: Proposed newsgroup rec.music.guitar.classical
I have a list of 81 names, taken from the straw poll conducted by
David Casper on new.groups a few months ago.  Since I can't mail
everyone without everybody getting the list (in the header), I am
obliged to post.
I believe we are still interested in getting this newsgroup going
(in September), but in the mean time, and maybe as well as, I'd like
to get this list circulated for the benefit of the people on it.

So, if you posted a 'YES' vote for the straw poll on r.m.g.c, then
you are most likely on it.  If you want to be removed, PLEASE let me
know ASAP.  If you want to be on it, please let me know as well.
I will wait a few weeks before passing it around.  Those who saved
the straw poll may well have this list already.

My immediate reason to get this list active is that I am looking for
a piece of music.  I don't like repetition, but since I didn't cross-
post my request to news.groups,  I am looking for an Adagio by Mozart.
From a Concerto for clarinet, in 'A' (K622).  Looking for the guitar
arrangement. Any help is appeciated.

I directed followups to alt.guitar.  I hope all who want to follow up
get the 'alt' hierarchy. :-), if not, we can move it somewhere else.

If anyone is interested a book exists of transcriptions (by Mick Barker) of
several of Steve Howe's guitar pieces. It is called 'Steve Howe Guitar Pieces'.
It contains some short notes by Steve Howe describing his attitude to the 
pieces. Mick Barcker gives hints on how some of them should be played. 
The pieces include:

Clap
Mood For a Day
The Ancient
Sound Chaser
Ram
Meadow Rag
Surface Tension
Diary of a Man Who Disappeared

The book does not contain any tab, only standard music notation.

Thanks to all who responded to my Mozart Adagio request.  I
was a little pessimistic in thinking there was a classical
guitar arrangement already.  I'm thinking now that there is
very likly no such thing.  So, I will try to do it myself.
A big task, but as has been mentioned, worth while and a
good way to learn more.

Mailing list:  I've gotten ~25-30 emails so far; anyone who
has emailed me is on it for sure.  If you want to email just
to make sure (if you voted, and figured you should be on it)
email me at will. Due to some bad keystrokes on my part,
my original 81 name file was deleted. [How could such a thing
happen?? :-( ] and my back up version was somewhat smaller 
[~45] so my list is ~70 now.

For those who wondered if I was _starting_up_  r.m.g.c, no.
In September we should see another RFD on the group, either
from David Casper in Delaware [who posted the first one] or
someone else.

	For all those theory gods out there in netland I have a request and a 
question. First the question:

	I was fudging around on the guitar last night and I was trying to
overcome my lack of chord knowledge.  I was using the Guitar Handbook and
was going through their discussion of chord creation.  I was trying to
figure out what the following chord is:

	xoo  o
	------		------
	||||||	      V |1||11
	----2-		------
  	|||3||		||||||
	------		------
			||34||


	In the D maj scale this is I,II,V,VI construction, which is (and I
am guessing) a the triad with an added 6th and no 3rd, which my friend 
tells me is like a Dsus2 or something of that nature.  So What IS IT???

	Now for the request, if anybody happens to have time to explain the
general nature of chord construction, especially for things like this
not covered in the GUITAR HANDBOOK, I would be most appreciative for this
knowledge.

Optimal solution:
Cut a golf tee or toothpick (depending on the size of the hole) that will just
fit in the hole flush.  Glue it into place, allow to dry and drive the screw
into the patch.  Oughta hold up forever.  This is what my local luthier
recommends, btw.
