You probably want the transcriptions to the Boxed Set.  In this country at
least, these  transcriptions are published in two thick volumes by 
Warner/Chappel/Rittour/IMP.  

These two volumes include:

*   Every song in the Boxed Set - about 50-odd songs in total.
*   Every song on "Houses of the Holy" except "The Crunge" (side 1, track 4).
*   Full transcriptions for every instrument (including the recorders on 
    "Stairway to Heaven", for example) 
*   The original tunings.
*   At least as much accuracy as anything else I have seen (not that I'm 
    very well qualified to judge this).

High-quality transcriptions of *everything* the first four albums are also
available; transcribed by somebody else, but published by the same 
publishers.

There are many songs from the "Swan Song"/"Flames of Albion" period that
I've never seen in print.

There's simply no such thing.  Rock musicians do not write music out on 
paper and then play it.  The transcriptions that you can buy in the shops 
are transcribed by other (non-famous) musicians.  Obviously, some 
transcriptions are better than others, but none of them are "definitive" in 
the sense of being written out by the people who wrote the music.  Even Joe
Satriani's albums are transcribed by somebody else, and Joe used to earn 
a living from producing transcriptions for his students.

You might want to try taking it to a guitar dealer and having them put another one
on the neck where it meets the body.  It would be on the underside of the thick piece, 
and wouldn't cause cracking or splitting.  I was told that a strap tied around the 
headpiece wasn't the best thing for the neck.  I have a Fender California Series
and am having it done.

Hope this helps.

here's the scoop. i have a '76 Strat with EMG's (SA/SA/89). i really like
the SA's, but i'm not too keen on the 89. it just isn't beefy enough.
unfortunately, i can't just replace the 89 with any old humbucker. it's got
to be an EMG 'cause they're active PU's.

what i used to have is a Seymour Duncan "custom" (humbucker) with a single
stock strat pickup in the middle position (no neck position pu). i *love*
the sound of the Ducan custom. it's real beefy - and still has an edge. so,
now i'm looking to put my custom back in - and get a couple of single coil
PU's for the middle and front position. i suppose Duncan makes some single
coil PUs, but i'd like recommendations for anything that would work with
the Duncan (i gather that would be any non-active pickup). i've heard good
things about the Fender/Lace pickups. has anyone out there had experience
with them - and matching them with a humbucker? what else is out there that
sounds good? thanks!

Hi,

   I've had an Epiphone Riviera semi-acoustic since 1979. Alright, I don't
play too often these days, but it's as good as the day I bought it (second-
hand).

   When I bought it, it had had the machines replaced (looks like twice by
all of the screw holes in the back of the head) with Schallers, and a
distort rythym pickup fitted rather that the stock humbucker. It sounds
much better amp'd than accoustic.

   I suppose the replaced machines must cast some doubt on the originals,
(although Schallers are excellent and would probably improve on most).
There was a crackle from the p/u selector swich (switch cleaner sorted that),
but it's always had a crackle from the jack, not so easy to replace on a semi.

   I've never snapped a string on it, I put that down to the brass nut. General
finish quality is good, inlays are flush, varnish is good, action is quite
fast with no buzz, some parts (eg tailpeice) are on the equiv Gibson model,
except not gold plated. Made in Japan.

   I love it dearly, after all I saved my school dinner money & went
hungry in order to buy it.

   I'd recommend Epiphone on the stregnth of mine, maybe not the best buy,
but I've never regretted it.

I think many of the newer guitars have a tung oil finish on the neck, or
in some cases the whole guitar. I built a guitar using Carvin components
and just put 6 or 7 layers of tung oil on. Wipe it on, wait 24hrs, then
polish with 000 or 0000 steel wool. It put a very nice durable finish
on the neck (maple). I've also heard that if you want to later (every
year or so) you can just wipe some more on then steel wool.

I am considering buying a used Ibanez, it is an RG570.  It has tiltback
headstock, a Floyd Rose tremelo, and even though it's been used heavily
for about 1 year, it looks very well taken care of.  It comes with a
standard guitar case;  

How much is this worth?  The guy wants $450, and I have heard different
stories about what it's worth.

Also, if anyone could explain to me the differences in Ibanez models in
the RG series I would greatly appreciate it.  I know there are some
very good RG's and then some that aren't so good, but I coudln't tell
the difference by looking.  

Please send me any opinions, info you may have.

Subject: Relative tuning on 12-string guitar
Date: 29 Sep 92 12:49:15 GMT
Organization: School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK

Hi all

This is a kind of follow-up to the recent posts regarding tuning
12-string guitars. I learned a few tips from those articles on 
tuning this particular beast, e.g. tuning all strings one step down
and using a capo, etc. 

I followed the advice that when tuning each of the two strings, one of
them should be an octive lower than the other. So, first I tuned the
first set of 6 strings one step down, e.g. DGCFAD, and the other set
of strings one octave down. But when I do that the tension in the
latter set are so loose that they buzz when I play them.

I then tuned the second set of strings to an octave higher, but
the top E and B strings broke before they are tuned to the correct
pitch.

So, where am I going wrong? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Try this op-amp based pre-amp using the following circuit. 
This is a design from Mike McTigue who has posted this a few times already.
Mike has this pre-amp in both of his electrics, I have it in 2 of my
electrics, and we've built them for friends who are very happy with them.

This circuit has no noticable noise or distortion, and a 9 volt battery
seems to last forever (none of us have had to replace one yet in 2+ years).

Please note that the purpose of this pre-amp is to act as a buffer between
the R of the volume pot and the C of the cable.  I did modify one of mine
for gain, but I use it set to a gain of 1 almost all the time.

I have an Epiphone Century which is not completely original.  It has Grover
tuners instead of the originals and I believe that the tailpiece is
different.  The books that I have looked at state that the original tailpiece
was one known as a Freqonsator (??) which is actually 2 tailpieces in 1
with a longer length for the 3 lower (in pitch) strings.  However, the
books which show pictures of a Century show it with the single tailpiece
which is on mine.  Mine is a 1959 version which was built by Gibson with parts
left over from Epiphone after Gibson bought them out.  So perhaps they
mixed and matched.  The pickup is a single-coil pickup known as a New Yorker.
The main reason I purchased the Century was that I am returning to playing
the guitar after a 20 year hiatus and I wanted a guitar that had a decent
acoustic sound but with a pickup so that I could go electric later on.
I've had it for about 2 months now and I am very satisfied with my purchase.
My only quibble is that the pickup produces a fair amount of hum.
The price I paid was $300.

	1) What is a C2 chord ?

		is it a Cadd9 or a Cadd9 (no 3rd) ?


	2) is Csus2 chord is synonym for Cadd9 (no 3rd) ?
	   (they share the same notes !)


	3) is a name of a power chord is C5 ?
	   or is there another standard notation ?


	4) if you know some very uncommon notation could you give them to me ?
	   (only if they are standard)


	5) a altered bass chord is write F/Gb (F chord over a Gb note)

				   F
	   a poly chord should be  -   (F chord over a Gb chord)
				   Gb 

	   could you propose a one-line notation for a poly chord ?
	   is there any standard ?

Thanks in advance,
Pascal.

Can anyone recommend a decent guitar shop anywhere near St.
Petersburg, Florida ? I'm lucky enough to get a break from work next
week and I was hoping to pick up some related stuff.

Thanks in advance.

regards,
tef
