Learning how to be a good rhythm guitarist before becoming a lead guitarist, where to start? Also, while you can throw chords together in all sorts of ways, be aware that popular music tends to use a few well-worn patterns. Look up "Axis of Awesome" on YouTube and you'll see now many songs are made up of root, fourth fifth and minor sixth. |

Learning how to be a good rhythm guitarist before becoming a lead guitarist, where to start? Barre chords are the shortcut here. Even more to the point, "power". Root and fifth to start. The third gives you major and minor, and eventually you'll get to sevenths and sixths and ninths and thirteenths and diminished and augmented, but if you do the low two strings of barre chords, that'll get you the basics of finding out the chord structure. |

String configuration on a bass guitar I was just about to bring up the low-string saddle question. I'd also wonder if the B string would fit through the E string's hole. Otherwise, yeah, it should work. |

Playing the hawaiian steel guitar. I have covered much of this previously (see music.stackexchange.com/questions/2009/…) but the key is that your ears don't know good intonation yet, so get an electronic tuner, tune to C7 tuning and play along with tuned accompaniment, such as a piano or the radio. Go to Brad's Page of Steel [ well.com/~wellvis/steel.html ] to learn more. |

Mute other side of String When Tapping (2-hand tapping style) It was Greg Howe who sold me on using a scrunchie. He usually plays an orange guitar (about the color of the "Add Comment" button) and has an orange scrunchie, to match. |

Delay / Distortion pedals for electric violin with bridge sensor (Schertler)? I'm in agreement with Dr. Mayhem, but want to add: You won't get the U2/Pink Floyd sound with delay on a violin, because your instrument is all about the sustain, but with say a 300-400ms delay, you can approach the big rock, echo off the back of the the arena sound. And, with distortion, few people use as much as you think they do, so start with the pedal set low, then build to what you need, instead of starting with it dimed. Good luck. |

How are sharps and flats written in the nashville numbering system? Description talked sharp/flat before the number, and the second example had it after. |

Finding a balance point learning to pick a guitar at a right angle? If you don't think my answer is helpful, that's fine. But I don't think either of the people I reference are particularly blues players. My take is my take -- there's no benefit to the pick angle you're trying to develop -- but if you make it work for you, so be it. |

Finding a balance point learning to pick a guitar at a right angle? I don't see parallel as that great an idea, but understand it better than perpendicular. My take still stands. Work on your arm but keep your pick angle. |
