The Importance of Having a Repertoire
|
| |
Over the years, I have met many guitar students who could not actually play anything, even though they had taken lessons, perhaps for years. If they were asked to play something, the best they could do would be offer you some isolated "pieces" of songs or solos they had worked on. They are missing certain pieces of knowledge about the Art & Science of... more »

The "SOLO" by ProCo Sound
|
| |
Since the beginning of time, there has been no instrument created that has the ability to convey more emotional response than the electric guitar. A guitar player is able to reach into his or her soul and express every sentiment and passion known to man through the vast array of tonal options available. Early on, these options were limited to... more »

Tracktion 2 - Music Production by Mackie
|
| |
I first started recording my guitar playing almost as soon as I learned to play the G, C, and D major chords that everyone discovers as a beginner. At that time, my biggest problem wasn't changing chords, it was playing in time. I usually practiced with a metronome, but that quickly got boring. So I went on a mission to add some recording... more »

The D-75A Power Amplifier by Crown
|
| |
As I look back on my personal guitar playing history, I realize that I have grown up in a guitar amplifier world that has always taught that "bigger and louder" is "better". Let's face it, everyone wants a Marshall Stack that will produce a sonic wall of sound that would peel the paint in their practice space. Companies like Marshall and Mesa... more »

Recording Guitar and Bass Getting a Great Sound Every Time You Record A Book Review By: Gary Allen I can not even begin to tell you how many times that I have read articles on how to record electric, acoustic, and bass guitars. The information available is so vast, but unfortunately much of it is contradictory. There is the argument of recording with microphones... more »

Royale RL-4 from Greg Bennett Guitars by SMC
|

When I was sent the Royale RL4 from Greg Bennett to review, I just couldn't get this scene from "Pulp Fiction" out of my head! Jules Winnfield: What do they call it? Vincent Vega: They call it a Royal with Cheese. Jules Winnfield: Royal with Cheese. Vincent Vega: That's right. Jules Winnfield: What do they call a Big Mac?... more »

But what about all of you who have already invested money in outboard amplifiers that you are already very happy with. For you Mackie has created the C300z passive loudspeaker.

Juggernaut Bass Distortion from ProCo Sound
|
| |
Here is a quiz for you. I'm sure you won't get the answer. What do the bands the Cure, Yes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, and Kings X have in common? Give up? These bands (as well as countless others) have used distortion to give bass lines a little more edge. In doing some research with players who play more bass than I do... more »

ThinAmp by AXL

The word "portable" is one of those marketing words that companies often use when they suddenly think to add a handle to a 100 pound piece of gear. As most of you know by now, I'm a frequent flyer and I'm always looking for gear that is truly portable. This means that the gear in question should be small, light, easy-to-carry, and provide few... more »

SRM350 Loudspeaker by Mackie
|
| |
When you first start gigging, you quickly begin to realize that sound dynamics are an incredibly difficult beast to tame. Different performance spaces and crowd sizes result in dramatically different acoustic properties from gig to gig - or even within the same gig as people float in and out. You may find that your standard guitar... more »
