Guitar tutoring software that listens to your playing? Oh if this ever comes out I will get it just for practicing chord voicings |

Save money when buying a guitar / amp? BUY USED. Used gear (unless it was very badly obused, but would be obvious on inspection) sounds just as good, better than compromising for a brand-new but cheap guitar. AVOID "Gig-Packs" and Guitar-Amp "starter packs" like the plague. |

Is it possible to learn Flamenco guitar on a steel-string guitar? Will it sound right? I believe you have it backwards, Flamenco players usually use the brighter (both in tone and wood color) spruce tops to the darker red (and darker toned) cedar that most classical players use. |

Teaching Bandmates to Count I wouldn't say that, they do realize its a problem, but just can't tell during the performance. |

Teaching Bandmates to Count Its one thing to let the performance breath, its quite another to just blow everything off and double the tempo in a ballad just because the soloist got excited. Also, we don't really gig with our drummer, its pretty much just me up there trying to keep some sense of uniformity between the rhythm guitar, soloist, and singer. |

What would you call all-drum instrumental music? Well... Stomp is considered a musical. |

Purpose of double-sharps and double-flats? AFAIR its mainly a formal notation issue. You can augment notes in the scale, so if F# is a note in the scale, but G is not (say in the scale of A-major). And you want to emphasize the fact that you are augmenting F# up a half step (say in a triad/chord), you write F## , even though you could have just as easily but a natural in front of the G. But that is just my recollection - which is why this is a comment. |

What do you do when a string breaks or you drop your pick on stage? Unfortunately,if you are using a standard tremolo (not FR or other lockable type), if a string breaks you will go heavily out of tune. |
