First of all, I've been playing guitar for about a year and a half too. With hour-long lessons every week from an excellent teacher. And I've BARELY r...
Drop tuning isn't just for heavier sounds. Here's John Mayer playing his song "Neon" in Drop C tuning.Notice that he's able to get a bass-like sound o...
I generally use "C" shapes when my teacher makes me do it as a form of torture, or when I'm switching from an A minor shape, which is an easy 1-finger...
Vic and gnease, thanks for the feedback. I play electric 90% of the time and hadn't stopped to consider the soundhole of an acoustic.Since I like to k...

I like the padded cloth straps by Planet Waves. They're comfortable and they have a "pick pocket" that I can stash a pick in just in case I forget to ...
I'm weird (and I do have large hands) so my experience was different - I could never get the 4-string F to ring out properly, but I picked up the full...
I have one of those. Same color and everything. It's a great guitar. I haven't played it much lately because I have newer toys, but I need to get it o...
I highly recommend the noiseless single coils - I have the SCN versions on my mexi strat and they're very very nice. But I'm more of anti-hum purist t...
