Apr 6	comment	What are the differences between an American and Mexican Fender Stratocaster? I have had 2 mexican strats: one about 350$ price point and the other about 600. The more expensive of the two is quite different in weight, feel, and tone (unplugged). They are so different that it is hard to say that any particular quality is a result of it being Mexican made.

Mar 28	comment	Can you hammer on from 7th to 0? probably. It is important to note that the 0 on that string (`Eb`) is the same note as the 5 on (`Bb`) which follows it immediately. In this case the slide to 0 might actually be a (7 or 8 hammer/pull- or slide-) to 5 on the `Bb`.
Feb 29	comment	Creating a perfect “practice corner” don't set up in the kitchen. Do you really want an aerosol of cooking grease and water vapor settling on your equipment 2-3 times a day?

Jan 24	comment	How can I recreate Alex Kapranos's sound (Franz Ferdinand singer and guitarist)? I have seen asserted that he uses a Fender Hotrod amp and a Telecaster (with a Strat as a backup). That's it: no pedals excepting an a/b or overdrive footswitch. And then there's this: ( soundonsound.com/sos/jun04/articles/ferdinand.htm ) which says that album was recorded using something completely different. Note that article speaks a lot about how the engineer massaged the sound long after the band went back to Scotland.
Jan 20	comment	What is the most classically correct way to play this fast run? I posted the one video, but I looked at a number of them, and they all seem to agree on where they stop. Personally, I think some of them play e on both the b and e strings, allowing vibrato on the b string.

Dec 23	comment	What are the feelings & emotions behind chords? +1 as well. as someone who went to art school, not music school: if someone sits there with a list and says "green means jealosy" and "triangles make you feel grounded" they are BULLSHITTING YOU find another teacher.
Dec 21	comment	Using Amplitube for iPad on stage yes, I meant the simulated effects chain. However I probably would put the external effects BEFORE the ipad in the chain since the ipad in OP's situation is running an amp (and cabinet) simulator. Of course, whatever sounds the best.

Dec 16	comment	Does following “musical forms” suppress “creativity”? You shouldn't forget that beauty is not the sole possible outcome of a work of art. As slim pointed out in twinkle little star, "unsatisfying" may not be what the listener wants, but it might be your intention. Your intention is how you measure success. Of course, the listener has no idea what your intention is, so they will judge it based upon personal interest which is completely out of your hands.
