All, I need some opinions. I'm looking for new guitar. I'm a relatively new, and inept player that is trying to get better. I currently have an old Washburn accustic (Chinese Built) that drives me crazy. It is probably the biggest slowdown to my learning curve. The action is hard, and it has a serious intonation problem. What is in tune for a G chord,...

I have an Aria Elecord FET-SPT acoustic-electric guitar. In looking at the online specs, it states: Pickups: PZP Piezo Controls: Q-TN 3and EQ with Auto Tuner What does it mean? Does it mean that it tunes itself? Thanks for a translation into everyday English. Mike

I'm curious if anyone owns a 'Taylor' Solid Body electric and what their opinion of the guitar is. - - Anyone have an opinion on 'Taylor' guitars, in general? MikeyG

I just installed Cakewalk Sonar LE Digital Audio Workstation. I can't get started using it because a box pops up telling me to select a MIDI Output from the list inside the box. The problem is there is nothing in the list to select. No MIDI Output. I won't be able to hear anything play until I bypass this hurdle. I've got Microsoft Vista. Has anyone...

Last night I was fiddling with scales on the piano. By accident I played the notes C, D, E & F one at a time with my left hand & B, C, D & E simultaneously with my right. I sounds good. I tried different groups of notes like F, G, A, B & E, F, G, A but most all sounded like shit. I'm wondering why C, D, E, F & B, C, D & E sound good together. Is this...

I read this Q from a reader on the Guitar Principles email from Jamie. Q: I have been playing for 4 years and I am what you would describe as an average student...average talent, practicing 45 minutes to an hour a day without fail. What is a realistic number of songs that I should know how to play well at this stage of my development? Let's define "well"...

Up until now I've been using a hand-me-down. I just got a new guitar (PRS SE Singlecut) and have some questions. 1) It's a brand new guitar, and I notice the fretboard (or maybe frets themselves?) are a bit "sticky". i.e. when I try bends the strings don't glide as smoothly as I'm accustomed to. It's not really an issue, but just wondering if this...

I am used to playing a Strat or Yamaha Silent steel guitar while standing. Both are amped. I am looking for an acoustic or acoustic-electric that sounds good not plugged in and is thin enough so that I can easily see my fingers on the fretboard while standing. My Aria acoustic-electric is too thick and so I am playing virtually blind. Someone suggested...

Everytime I get a case of GAS, I repeat: "Put the money into lessons, put the money into lessions,..." over and over until it passes. Last week, when I was picking up my guitar from a setup, I started playing a Reverend Daredevil HB that was on display and really enjoyed it. Its been a tough winter (my Dad passed away in February), so I said, "Screw,...

A friend told me about a demonstration he attended at the local guitar shop and he was amazed by the sounds you could achieve. * w w w .fender . com /vgstrat/home.html I am in the market for a quality guitar, is it worth looking into or is it a gimmick? Wondering what you guys think of it?
