Properly fingering jazz chords? I also think these kinds of chords are easier to learn based off your barre positions rooted on the E and A string than in the open position. For one, it's much easier to move them to different keys! |

Properly fingering jazz chords? There are also a ton of voicings for different chords. For instance, in the m7 and 7 chords you have listed, you're not using the lower 5th. Adding that in doesn't change the composition of the chord, but it sure does change the fingering and sound. I'd suggest starting with a more comprehensive chord chart and exploring from there, as I think there are some more intuitive fingerings for someone already familiar with barre chords (although I do prefer the sound of some of the fingerings listed here). |

Do guitar strings wear when not used? The flip side of this is, I leave my guitars out. The less I play the guitar, the faster the strings seem to go compared to the ones I play a lot. I could store the guitars properly, but then I'd never play them! |

is there any free tab viewer for GuitarPro files? It's generally a good idea to include enough information in your answer that even if the link fails, the answer is still valid. If your link doesn't work, I have no way of knowing what you are talking about. I think the fix is as simple as changing "that" to "DGuitar". |

Multi-Effects Pedal or Multiple Effects Pedals? Two additional points, with a multi-fx, you can easily dial in different types of the same effect, a little chorus on one patch vs a lot on a different one. This is hard to do with pedals without having multiple versions of the same effect. Second, there are higher end multi-fx that do not sound overly digital. In particular the Nova and G from TC are very good (the Nova even includes analog drive), but these are more expensive than Boss, Pod, Zoom, etc. |

Multi-Effects Pedal or Multiple Effects Pedals? Yeah. The unit rocks. But it is a very specific set of sounds you can get from it (I assume the G would give you more latitude). |

is there any free tab viewer for GuitarPro files? I think this is kind of sad. $60 is really not a lot of money for software, especially something as useful as guitar pro (even if you're not editing). Particularly when you compare it to how much you might spend on guitars, amps, pedals. I think it's important to support companies making useful products so that they can continue doing it! <end soap box> |

Multi-Effects Pedal or Multiple Effects Pedals? I have the TC Nova system, and I would say that all the effects are excellent quality. So, it is possible to get high quality out of a multi unit. The issue is that they're all high quality TC, so that's the only flavor you're getting. |

How do you tune your guitar? @Ian, I think that just means the question needs updating. It's not very good as written. Community Wiki doesn't really help. If the question is broken in to a series of more specific questions, then each can have a good answer. |

How do you tune your guitar? Can you add some specifics? Do you mean tunings (i.e. EADGBE)? Methods of tuning (5th fret vs harmonics vs tuner)? Mechanics (turn tuning pegs vs floyd rose setups)? |
