Truefire.com is having a sale. $5 downloads. Amurican $ that is. The choices change every hour. Some of you might find it good for cheap inspiration. Just a heads up y'all.

Re: What are you learning?
I've finally learnt that there is a switch that lets you choose another pickup other than the bridge and theres this thing called a volume knob which you can use to adjust your toan and gain with, has anyone else come across this on a guitar before? I'm sure it wasn't in the manual.

Re: What are you learning?
I find it like a depressing living kind of death if I don't play for some time, one of those things you love but let die. It all washes away when I pick that thing up and get lost in it.

Re: What are you learning?
LOL, you are right, silly me. There is no tone in the tone knob. It can't be in the fingers, else we would all be talking about playing rather than about gear. So tone must all be in the booteek gearWellyBlues wrote:oh, I thought tone was in the fingers, or bootek gear!olegmcnoleg wrote:Just wait until you find the tone knob, mind blowingjeremyb wrote:I've finally learnt that there is a switch that lets you choose another pickup other than the bridge and theres this thing called a volume knob which you can use to adjust your toan and gain with, has anyone else come across this on a guitar before?

I've been meaning to sit down and work out Paranoid Android by Radiohead for years, and I had a bit of spare time the other night so finally got to it. Great fun to play, and it's been cool playing it at last few solo gigs. It's got to be one of the stranger top 10 hits there have been.

This takes me back to when I was first learning how to tap
Your GF has great taste.
Hopefully she doesn't ask you to learn to play Magma... depending on your setup it might be impossible to play the main riff as its all pinch harmonics and those sound different on everyone's setups!

Haha, she linked me to that too. But changed it after I was liking Global warming.sirvill wrote: Hopefully she doesn't ask you to learn to play Magma... depending on your setup it might be impossible to play the main riff as its all pinch harmonics and those sound different on everyone's setups!
