Hi, guys, was thinking of learning a bit of the above things to add variety into my playing. I think I'm pretty accomplished when it comes to general rock/blues playing with a good grasp of theory, but sorta feel a bit in a rut, so I was wondering what books/videos would be good for doing this...

Reb's tone on this album is so cool - chunky with lots of definition. Not usually a fan on Winger, but this album rocks! Anyone know what gear he was using for that album?

After a couple months gigging with my GSP1101/poweramp setup, which is amazing, I used my Marshall 30th Anni head at a practice with my pub band tonight and couldn't believe how great it sounded on every channel! Tried the direct out into the PA for the first time as well and it was as good as...

Been having real problems with my Les Paul classic lately. I use 10's for strings and even though I intonate the thing all the time, the tuning, while not going out horrendously, still slips slightly on most of the strings inbetween songs while gigging. Will 11's help by raising the tension of...

Sounds very distinctive and jangly. Rickenbacker? The Ripley Stereo guitar? Been bugging me for ages!

Hi, guys, I'm running a Digitech GSP 1101 (C63 update) with a new FCB 1010 midi pedal. The switches change patches fine, but the volume pedal doesn't work. I had an older fcb and the colume pedal worked fine with my GSP. Is it because either it's a new pedal or I've updated the firmware? I'm...

Has anyone noticed how gear reviews in US guitar mags such as Guitar World are always positive and rarely, if ever, give out bad reviews? Even when they do the "pros and cons" thing, the "con" is always something only vaguely related like "Might be a bit too expensive for some people" on a...

Hi, guys, I was wondering if anyone had a Charvel Pro Mod? They're just under £600 over here and wondering what the quality's like? Do the Floyds stay in tune? Cheers! Mike

Want to put together a custom strat here in the UK, but found Warmoth a bit unhelpful when I emailed them, so I was wondering if there's a similar company someboday could recommend? Thanks, guys! Mike

Just bought a Digitech GSP 1101 which I can't wait to use, and need a nice power amp to go with it. Do you think a Valvestate poweramp can cut it, especially for gigging? Thanks, guys! Mike

Hi, guys, I'm gonna take my amp to my tech next week, but I just thought I'd see if anyone could tell me what's wrong with it. I was playing in soundcheck and my amp started crackling and cutting out then died altogether, so I checked it and it looked like the power plug had stretched and had...

Just a couple of questions if someone can answer them - Is it reliable and how easy is it to use? What kind of power amp should I get with it, solid state or tubes? Got a Marshall 2x12 already so cab isn't a problem. Thanks, guys! Mike

Hi, guys, I've already been jamming/gigging with this amp for a few months and I must say I absolutely love it, but it's got so many features I don't know if I'm using it to its full potential?! What settings on the full/half power and pentode/triode modes would you recommend? I'm just using it...

Obviously, the SLO100 is the daddy in this situation, but they're pretty rare here in England. Been looking on ebay and there's the HotRod, Decatone, Avenger, HotRod Plus and it looks like they're all "based off the SLO100's overdrive channel" from the descriptions. The Decatone is looking the...

I'm looking to find the best bit of gear that will do things like change from the clean channel to the dirty channel w/chorus added, to the lead channel with delay added etc.... all at the touch of one footswitch? How do I do this using my amp head (Marhsall 6100 30th anni) and effects pedals...

Anyone seen these? https://www.seymourduncan.com/2011produc ... ickups.php Pretty expensive and not much difference in sound I can tell from the youtube clips. What do you guys think?

Apart from the ballads, really like this album! Nuno's tone isn't quite there yet, (I think he was using a JCM800 with a RAT pedal as a boost?), but his playing is awesome, even if the lyrics are a bit dodgy here and there. Anyone notice how the first Extreme album is about childish things...

Those first two LM albums are just amazing. I can come back to Wicked Sensation a lot and not get bored of it, even the 2nd album is pretty awesome. Lynch at his best playing/tone-getting in my opinion. The 'Smoke and Mirrors' album was pretty cool too! Anyone ever see them live in their...

I bought a Marshall 6100 LM head 2nd hand recently (EL-34 conversion) and it sounded awesome at the guy's house when I tried it out with my guitar through his custom made cab, but I bought my friend's Marshall "JCM 900 1936" 2X12 cab it doesn't sound as good. Gain sounds a bit farty is the main...
