Fingers Too Short for Barre Chords? Although, he had monstrously huge hands. |

How does The Talkbox work? I'm also not so sure how useful the point is when explaining it to someone that doesn't even know the basics of the effect. Saying it's the same as FM radio may be true at an abstract mathematical level, but it's getting a little on the esoteric side in a discussion of guitar effects. |

How does The Talkbox work? I think they're taking issue with your phrase that a talkbox is basically a vocoder, which isn't really true. In your comments you're arguing that a vocoder and talkbox are based on the same principle, modulation, which is true. Understanding modulation will get you a lot further than just a talkbox and vocoder (chorus, flange, wah, phaser, tremolo), so I think your point wasn't particularly clear in your answer. |

What is tremolo picking? Interesting tidbit on Leo. I'd never noticed that before. |

How can I practice in an apartment without annoying the neighbours? @Frank, the Valvetronix are really pretty spectacular, especially at the price point. It's the only amp I recommend to my students (at least until they're spending over $500 and looking at tubes). It's not as good as the real thing, but it's a ton of options at a great price. |

How do I get pinch harmonics during solos? There's also a good question on the technique on the site already: music.stackexchange.com/questions/1394/… |

How do I get pinch harmonics during solos? Incidentally, that's the most common complaint about editing a question. What if you change the question so that it is "better" but it's not longer the question the OP was really asking? Seems to be what's happened here based on the accepted answer. |

How do I get pinch harmonics during solos? @Ian, Samuel clearly used the wrong name for the sound he was hearing. Your edit to the question made the question more clear, but seems to have obscured the original intent of the question and caused the mismatch between Q&A to be bigger than is really the case. I would suggest an edit to the effect of, "I think it's feedback, but I could be wrong. What's the technique called if it's something else?" |

What chords are used often in “Funk” - Why? Also, it's a good idea to summarize the information in your links rather than just linking to them. This helps for two reasons, 1 the info is now actually in the answer, requiring less steps for someone to understand your answer but more importantly 2) it helps avoid link rot. If the link stops working, your answer is still useful. |

What is the difference between “Solo” and “Improvisation”? When an entire group is improvising, it is often referred to as jamming. |

Is this an acceptable fingering of a G Chord? He wants to slide the g form of the chord up the fret board, so he needs his index finger to form a barre underneath. |

Are there some classical pieces that lend themselves well to guitar? Alex makes a great point, it will be much easier to use classical music written in treble clef. |

What are the objective differences between the guitar and the piano? The OP can no longer make a question CW. I did flag for moderator attention, but they don't seem to have done it. Oh well. |

Do left-handed guitarists view the same patterns as right-handed? Dick Dale does the same thing. |

What is the “theory” behind “odd time signatures”? I think it's a good answer. Tool's schism would be a great song to learn to see some of this in action. |

Distortion pedals similar to Boss's DS-1 It's like a girlfriend. Someone else's always looks better. You really wish you could have more than one at a time. You've gone through more than you care to admit. There's at least one you still miss from time to time. |

What is a good guitar solo to learn in the minor scale? Right. I'm not talking about how to fret the scale though, I'm talking about songs that are in the key of A minor (or any other key). Whether or not they think about a scale as strictly A minor or the relative minor of C major doesn't change the fact that a piece is in A minor and not C major. Which is why I said they're different. While the major and minor key are related and some major keys use the same notes as a minor key, C Major is different from C Minor and I'm looking for songs with a minor sound. And that's not getting in to harmonic or melodic minor. |
