Losers like Alex Gregory you mean
Stevie Ray Vai doesnt sweep all that often
I feel dumb for asking this and i probably should, but on tab, when notes are in parenthesis (i.e. (15)) what exactly does that mean? I knew this at one point but I haven't played in a long time.

I'm going insane waiting for the local GC to get my amp shipped in. I really want to play it, but I know I'll have to break it in quite a bit. Anyone have tips on new tubes and speakers?

[QUOTE=absinthe;42921778]hold your guitar up to a mirror and say bloody mary 3 times[/QUOTE]
I found that placing guitar on pentagram works better, draw star in circle and put lit candles around it.
will do this when i buy a new guitar edventually
So i've started to play guitar with crazy delay effects and beatbox at the same time, I need to record this shit as soon as possible and put that into my album.

Also started playing acoustic guitar with hands and keyboard with feet at the same time, combining instruments is fun as heck.
[QUOTE=absinthe;42911031]that's a somewhat interesting proposition
if y'all could have a ridiculous collection of any one model of guitar ie strats les pauls SGs etc what would it be[/QUOTE]
I'd definitely have an SG collection. Gotta have the whole first production year set which would include the 1961 Les Paul Standard, Junior, Special, and the SG shaped Melody Makers that came a couple years later. The prize piece of such an SG collection though would have to be the Neck-Thru SG. They only made it for one year and it was here recently, but it's so rare that there's only one picture of one on Google. You can easily find tons of examples of normal early production year SGs all over the internet and in any decent reputable shop, but next to nobody has one of those neck-thru SGs. I believe the SG should have always been a neck-thru guitar, but it's such an expensive method of manufacturing guitars so I can understand why they opted for standard set necks.
Had they gone with neck-thru from the beginning though, the early SGs wouldn't have had so many breakage problems at the neck heel so there'd be more surviving examples of those too, but it is what it is.
Les Paul actually designed the SG to be neck through, and Gibson didn't do it.

Jazz III master race
jazz IIIs are good for fast stuff but you can't beat a JD nylon .73mm
[QUOTE=absinthe;42933491]jazz IIIs are good for fast stuff but you can't beat a JD nylon .73mm[/QUOTE]
That was the old pick I used, except it was the max grip rather than the standard.
[QUOTE=DwarfOverlord;42933292]Jazz III master race[/QUOTE]
The TIII is a fusion of the standard Tortexes and the Jazz IIIs.
I have to bump it down to .60mm if I'm getting a little too hyped playing my eight string or else the lower strings get picked way too sharp
I have a small fender frontman 10g Amp I play at home and a big vox on a farm where I can crank it without pissing off the neighbors.
I really like the clean tone of the fender amp and my Vox only pumps out dirty tones, do bigger fender amps like a twin reverb or something pump out good clean tones as well?

That's the same amp I have.
I mostly play through a pedal and a mixer board nearly all of the time so it feels really good when I actually plug into an amp. :v:

uhh? the normal input is a single gain-stage amp pretty much as clean as an amp gets just with lots of breakup when you get loud (the bright switch is there because the amp sounds totes different when its quiet, but using bright at loud volumes gets you a lot more breakup).
the vibrato input has an extra gain-stage because of the reverb so it breaks up quicker but they're purely clean amps in terms of not having any extra distortion or anything?
afaik the only thing size usually does for amps is just that you need more volume to get break-up

also can a headphone out act as an output jack?

If you mean plugging a guitar into headphones, no.
otherwise I don't understand.

If you mean plugging headphones into an amp then yes. Amps usually have an output jack for headphones. Or at least mine does.
