Earmaster - need help or advice

Well, it is like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Not that there's anything wrong with trying. Have you considered a mini-condenser microphone like a dpa 4099G or the Thomann cheapie replica...

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

Ahh right ... My mistake .. He still doesn't like the Nash then .. makes a lot more sense

Julian Lage's new Collings (Gretsch Duo Jet copy)

There are basically two kinds of "hum": various kinds of noise, distortion, hisses, etc., from devices in the signal path that get amplified by effect or amp gain, and hum (at the AC line frequency...

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

I've been also very disappointed by the emphasis on singing by EarMaster 7, #1 reason because as far as I remember, there is no taking your voice range into account. Mine is very narrow, very limited...

Earmaster - need help or advice

Languedoc (ie trey anastasio’s) guitars

Getting the "most woody/hollow" sound out of electric archtop?

My previous post seems to have disappeared, but others covered it well, so OK. Except for the characterization of "Victim or the Crime" as- what was it, pedestrian? What the heck? Moving on... ...

Garcia and the Dead

I never remove the strings from guitars, not even when changing them (I change one, then tune it, so on). Makes cleaning the fretboard a bit more difficult, but I do that very rarely, and never use...

That chorus gives me visions of hell.

I like moving photo

Hopefully without being long winded I feel I need to explain a bit more about my search for the perfect pick (for me). While I agree that there are noticeable differences in many aspects of...

It may be time for me to give up my search for the perfect pick.

That was the band’s schtick: Japanese culture as seen by the West; after all, it was their song title. And she takes photographs, like the stereotypical Japanese tourist. On the other hand, her...

Anyone remember the Sadistic Mika Band?

I think you can make solo jazz guitar lively. It's probably a good idea to steer away from too many rubato ballads, although even they can have lively highlights. I agree that incorporating some...
