    Or I'll have to change my style. I think that latter may be the best option at this point. But there is a serious issue concerning my guitar playing. A few years ago I broke my arm and the ulna bone shifted slightly and didn't show in the x-rays, and as my arm healed, it healed that way and...

    Tuning To 5ths?

    I've seen this pop up a few times, and I've been intrigued enough to look into it a bit more. My only concern is what would the ideal tuning? I have two 27" scale 7 strings, a 26.5" scale, and one coming that will be a 25.5" scale neck. In terms of scale to string gauge, how would I...

    Wood And It's Affects On Tonality

    There are debates, arguments, often heated ignorant comments over what makes an electric guitar an electric guitar, and where it's tone comes from. A lot of people thinks it starts at the pickups, and ends at the amplifier. I can confidently tell these people that they are wrong. It is not...

    NGD: Secret Carvin Sexiness

    So I decided one wasn't enough. My DC747 is an incredibly sexy and attractive guitar, and plays like puberty teens wet dream. HOWEVER...

    Analog Recording

    Digital recording is driving me up a wall. From Fractal systems to Line 6 used as audio interfaces... Just doesn't sound good to me. Analog interfaces are becoming harder and harder to find, people at GC were no help (go figure), so... What would I need to record and keep everything as...

    I Finally Setup My FR Guitars By Myself.

    It really isn't so bad. It just takes patience, and the motions seem dragged out and boring... but all my sevens are setup to a half step down from standard, and I didn't even consult a tech, or anything. I just busted out a tool kit and had everything done in about 20 minutes once I got a feel...

    Question About Rack Gear

    I've never had any experience with rack gear. I get the theory of operation... but I think there are some missing pieces. All I know are preamps and power amps. I know preamps and power amps are built into different stages of amplifiers we see on store shelves (or floors), but when all the...
