No I believe you're right acoustically ....Originally Posted by chris32895Going through a bunch of amps looking for something simple for in-bedroom practice has really taught me that certain amps play better in certain rooms than others. I think the closed back 10" of the BlockDock was too much for my little room. Could never really get enough volume and it was either always too bassy or too thin. This little amp is just right. I think the open back allows some of the bass frequencies to spill out rather than shoot at and bounce around my walls (with a closed). I don't know much about acoustics so not sure if I'm just spouting out nonsense

RJVB, this guitar was made by Herbert Todt, one of the great master makers of GDR. Todt made many fine carved archtops for other luthiers (or should I say resellers?), not only spectacular show...
We have been meeting regularly and have 3 gigs lined up, the first being at the end of May. Plenty of time to practice or so we thought. I got a text this morning to see if I could fill for...
My amp did something similar and I sat for ages tapping different bits of pickup and string to make it stop. I even attached a wire from the bridge to the jack socket as an extra earth. I eventually...
Of course we have other enharmonic notes too - b3rd/#9th, #5/b13th. Think of all the jazz guitar chord books that enharmonics sold!
Bukka White, one of the greats, dig the rhythmic right hand tapping on the fretboard he does in that video.
Yes, their first album was the best. Rod Stewart had his sights set on the toppermost of the poppermost and became a mediocre pop crooner rather than a great blues belter so Jeff would have left him...
I've been listening to "Shapes of Things" from that recording on a regular basis ever since my band played it in my high school's rock concert in 1972. Enduring.
I'm amused by this preciosity about headstock shapes. Epiphone has been all over the place, but so has Gibson, especially pre-war. Not to forget Yamaha (I love the SA2200 headstock, not others) or...
What, Donna Lee sportin' a cowboy hat and boots, maybe brandishing a whip to prod ya' all to play faster? That could be entertaining, and certainly a challenge to add country twang at a high speed....
Between the thinner semi-hollow Yamaha and the fully hollow archtop depth of the PM200, I can't imagine much similarity at all—past them each utilizing humbucker pickups (and those of surely...
Hi I wonder if you can help me please. i bought a new amp today, a fender 57 deluxe reissue. I am getting that thing where there is an electrical buzzing until you touch the strings or a...

Didn't Barre play guitar with Jethro Tull back in the day? Hmm.... Doug
If I understand correctly the Steve Howes came with the L5-style bridge, the zigzag tailpiece, yellowed binding, butter bean tuners and a fat switch knob. Like many people, there were 3 reasons I...
Electrical buzzing advice sought please
