[QUOTE=Schmaaa;29499578]I've always wondered...if you can't tell the difference between some fakes and the real thing, why is the fake so bad? Being exactly the same kind of means....being exactly the same.[/QUOTE]
A fake doesnt mean it's an exact replica made just for kicks. They're fakes that are made low quality but sell for triple the cost it took to make.
It wouldn't make sense to make a piece for piece replica of a Fender or something.. if I could do that I'd be sending my resume to Fender for a job.

I'm gonna do this song my way for upcoming concerts now that I've watched it. Awesome song.

I absolutely love Rogers' style, it's impressive.
Would you guys recommend getting a tube screamer if I'm going to be running it through a solid state amp? I've heard from some people that it's good for emulating a tube sound, but other people have told me that it's not worth it unless you use it to push a tube amp.
It's not for emulating a tube sound, it's for driving a low-gain tube amp or an amp that isnt usually turned all the way up.
It won't sound too bad through a Solid State though, it'll still give you a nice soft clip overdrive sound.
Overdrive pedals shouldnt ever effect your actual tone, just boost or break it up.
That's why i prefer distortion.
that's why I prefer overdrive and distortion
my Boss OS-2 pushes out pretty damn beautiful tone
Yeah, distortion starts leading you into other genres.
The most "distortion" I'll use is a fuzz pedal which is in a league of it's own hence the difference between a fuzz pedal and a distortion pedal in the first place.
is £60 a good price for a jimi hendrix octavio?
Jonesing for a resonator now, everything else is going aside. Gonna hopefully get one in june (unless I encounter a balalaika in Prague).
I dunno what it sounds like but [url]http://www.chorder.com/images/electric-guitars/full/502_2.jpg[/url] looks really cool, would have to play it to be sure. Shame so few stores sell resonators up here. I really dont want to have to order one by mail.

I noticed that the really small music shops normally have some resonators, in my area anyway (north west of england).
Any of the bigger stores really only seem to carry a very limited selection of instruments that aren't strat copies or regular acoustics. in my experience anyway.
if you can find any small shops you should ask around in there, they might know something.

Yea my local store is a small hole in the wall place, the guy actually offered to build me one out of an old takamine someone traded in but that'd cost more than to actually buy a decentish one. Thing is, up here in MA most people don't play the style associated with resonators and dobros. The small stores in my area only have the cheaper resonators :\.

The only thing i can suggest is just listing the guitars you like the look of (ones you can get in the mail) and then do some searching for guitar centres that carry those brands or have those guitars to try nearby :P obvious hah! Seems like your shit out of luck.
or just bite the bullet and buy one :S

The Dunlop one? Yeah that's a pretty decent price.
Would this be the correct place to request a tab? 'Tis only a short one.

just brought it.
Nice one. I really wanna get one too.
Have any of you guys tried Behringer's UM300? I'm considering buying it as I like the aggressive tone but I'm not quite sure as I haven't tried it with my gear. The only place I've heard it is on the web. Could any of you give me some advice?
Any of Behringers small Boss-like pedals are a no-no. They're crappy knockoffs of better pedals.

Don't see why not, but no guarantees we'll get it.
guess what I got

I've actually had the thing for years but it broke right on the hole the strap button goes in about 2 years ago, I just now decided to punch a new hole (since I play higher than I did then anyway) and holy fuck I regret ever leaving this strap

The chordy bit at the start is G A# C, I think. But that's all I got.

Well okay yeah Cave Story shit would be extremely easy to tab but I also doubt I need to.

Get yourself a MIDI and run it through guitar pro or whatever and see if it sounds right and if it doesn't tell me and I'll look at it.
Got a killer clean tone on my amp right now.. don't think I'm going to change from this, now I'll just use pedals for overdrive and others because this is THE clean tone I've been hunting for :p

It's a piano song, what were you expecting? Of course you'll have to simplify it a bit.
I mean if you want me to I can still have a go at it, doesn't matter to me other than my GP installation is spotty.

I've been having a go at the main riff to Battery. It's a bit of a bastard to play, but I think with a bit more practice I think I'll have it. What do you lot think?
