    Where can you play fanned fret guitars?

    I'm somewhat interested in fanned fret guitars but I would never put an order in for one without first getting to see how they feel. So, has anyone here ever seen one in a guitar shop anywhere between the South Jersey, Philly, NYC area? If not, does anyone know which companies make necks that...

    Freddie Freeloader, Modal Jazz or Not?

    I've finally really figured out what modal jazz is supposed to be exactly but there's still one thing that confuses me. Kind of Blue is supposed to be the best example of modal jazz out there yet it has a song like Freddie Freeloader which is almost a straight 12 bar blues complete with dominant...

    Improvising Over Odd Time Signatures

    What's the best way you've found to get used to doing this? Personally, I've only really ever had to play over things in 3 or 4 but I was experimenting with polyrhythms and I'm having a real tough time adjusting to playing over something that's in 7. Everything sounds fine until the chord...

    Blue Kickball

    I just got one of these and tested it out on electric bass, guitar, and acoustic guitar. I'm actually surprised at the versatility. I don't own anything like a D112 to compare but this thing really does have a clear sound and a big low end just as it claims. I tried it out on a distorted...

    Guitar Scales Method

    Has anyone used this program extensively enough to have some good insight on its usefulness? I'm not new to improvising, theory, scales, or whatever, but I've always come from a blues background where you really only need one scale and you learn how to play by trial and error and I've been...

    To fix or not to fix.

    So I've got this old Peavey (Studio Pro 112) and it isn't quite working. No matter which channel you use or which input you use it like to go from 0 volume to full blast if you turn the volume knobs anywhere over completely off. I'm pretty sure there was something wrong with it to begin with...

    RG2027x and RG2027xvv

    Is there a difference between these two? I was trying to find a blue book value for a 2027x and I keep coming across xvv's in my search but I don't know if they're basically the same guitar that should be the same price. Actually, I'm thinking of impulse buying a 2027x for 1100 that has 2...

    7 String w/Piezo

    I recently played an Ibanez RG 1820x and fell in love with the piezo option. I've been playing Ibanez guitars almost exclusively and after playing one with a piezo bridge I'm just not satisfied with the ones I have. The problem is I'm trying to find a 7 string though, and to make it even worse...
