Hi everyone, I have a question to ask about setups... I purchased an Yamaha EG303 guitar from a pawn shop awhile back, and about a couple of months ago I took it to a local guitar shop for a set up. The person working behind the counter told me that they had a backlog and it would take about a week or so to adjust and set up the guitar properly....

My tuner died and my metronome is borrowed -- so I'm in the market for a combo. Any recommendations? Zendog

It is better to have an acoustic with a cutaway neck so that you can access the higher frets. I have an old Guild which has limited access -- especially for barre chords-- on the higher frets. I wish my teacher had mentioned the limitation when he sold me the guitar. Some argue the cutaway design affects the tone (I can't hear it). Other that that,...

I'm working on the intro to Sweet Child O Mine. On the second riff, where the first note is an E, and you have to move your ring finger back and forth between the 14th frets of strings 3 and 4, how do you keep the string from sticking and playing a pull-off as you move between the notes?

Does anyone know a source of backing tracks for popular songs? I found this one: http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com But the tracks are MIDI. They're okay, and better than nothing. But I was wondering if anyone sells "real" tracks.

I've been using PC's and software to make music professionally for a long time, but I've never paid attention to the guitar side of things. I saw this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DVForge/GUITARPLUG/ So what kinds of things do you use the PC for, other than recording? Can you get good realtime effects? I have a pretty fast, new machine. Just wondering...

Hi, I want to buy a new amplifier and I have two in mind. I don't see any difference except for appearance (and price). If that is the only difference, I am going to go with the less expensive one. Here they are: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Hot-Rod-Deluxe-Amp?sku=480510 Fender Limited Edition Hot Rod Deluxe: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Hot-Rod-Deluxe-120W-1x12-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=481857 Can...

Hi. Recently I've started to learn basic chords. Em, D, G, etc. Yesterday I practiced diligently. However when I woke up this morning, I ran my right hand fingers over my left hand finger tips, and found that they still had string indentations 'carved' into the flesh? Is this normal? Will it go away? Should I rest for a day or a few days? Or can I...

I've come across a couple songs recently where all the strings are tuned down a half step. Is this just due to the singer's vocal range, or is there some other reason?
