Jazz guitar tutor?

Hey all. Can anyone recommend a great jazz guitar teacher in Auckland? I have played guitar most of my life and am about an intermediate level fingerstyle blues player and a basic rock player, with some theory and very basic sight reading, but am thinking of taking the plunge into the dark art of ja...

Re: VOX ad60vt audio cutting out

I have an ad60vt and this has happened to me. There are screeds of cases of it on the internet. From what I can gather it is caused by sloppy soldering of joints. I have started running a jumper across the effedcts send and it hasn't happened of late. I spoke to Music Planet's Vox tech and he said t...

Re: Female backup singer wanted for small recording project

I appreciate that not that many women post on this forum, but someone might know someone, etc. So worth a shot.

Female backup singer wanted for small recording project

My band recently recorded and two songs are currently being professionally mixed and mastered. One song is almost complete, but we realised during the mixing process that the other song requires some female backing vocals. The style is (more or less) alt-country, and we are after a short, breezy bac...

Re: Best (budget) acoustic?

I would strongly recommend that you check out the "Recording King" and "Blueridge" ranges. If you can stretch to $700 - $800 you really get a whole lot of bang for your buck with these Chinese made guitars, that play like their more expensive equivalents from the USA. You may fin...

Early American roots music

Hey all. I am interested to know if anyone out there (in Auckland that is) is into playing / performing early 20th century American folk / blues / country music - stuff like Mississippi John Hurt / Blind Blake / anything off Harry Smith's "Anthology of Amercian Folk Music" / Blind WIllie J...

Yeah the Civic show was great, Wilco are a fine band. They play their songs as opposed to performing their albums (which in my opinion is what a lot of touring acts do).

Re: ES-335 Alternatives

Hey there. I have a mint condition Ibanez AS103BM-NT which I bought brand new from Music Works Auckland City for $1350 late last year. It is in immaculate perfect condition and has barely been used (I bought it on an impulse by and my circumstances changed). It looks similar to this one (but the gra...

Bassist/keyboardist/vocalist wanted- alternative/alt country

I am a 33 year old guitarist in Grey Lynn (Auckland), and am keen to get an alternative/alt country band together. I would like to do something along the lines of the Velvet Underground's quieter moments, with a Bonnie "Prince" Billy / Wilco alt-country element. I am looking for a bassist ...
