Play classical, rock, blues, metal, spanish, slide...
On stage usually use Ibanez (7 string RG7321 and Joe Satriani signature models), or a 1989 Charvel Predator with a Dimebucker pickup through a Line 6 HD500 and a DigiTech Whammy, sometimes with a CryBaby. For the songs requiring fire I use a BC Rich Warlock with pyro attachments!
Generally DI'ed straight into the venue backline, or where we need to amplify - generally Marshall heads through Laney 4x10s.

How do I find the accompaigning low-pitch note when playing fingerstyle? What do you mean, you want to know what the bassnote is? Is this question around recognising a note by ear? Or identifying a chord by ear? Or something else? Can you clarify. |

When tuning a guitar, how should I strike the strings? Simple answer as to why: when you hit it with the pick or finger you are stretching the string, thus raising the pitch. Near the bridge usually has a bigger bend, whereas at the 12th fret he string doesn't stretch much. |
