Jan 3	comment	What do I need to look for in a Y splitter for guitar? I don't have one lying around. Is that better than using an aby box?
Dec 16	comment	What should I look for in speakers for an electronic keyboard I edited your question a bit as it was bordering on off topic. It would be useful to know what you want to do with it. Are you just playing at home?
Nov 16	comment	How can I multitrack record my band practices? @slim, really? Any that I've ever used do. Both Audacity and Reaper certainly support it. Maybe that's a restriction that companies put on their entry level DAWs?
Nov 16	comment	How can I multitrack record my band practices? @slim, I have reaper and audacity. I also see that a lot of these interfaces come with a DAW, so I wasn't really worried about that aspect.
Nov 15	comment	How can I multitrack record my band practices? Or does this question really live on audio.SE?
Oct 27	comment	Why can't I whistle and hum different notes at the same time? Good answer. In particular, trying to change the whistle note by moving your tongue while keeping the sung note constant is a great place to start. That's how I learned how to do this on the didgeridoo, which is essentially the same technique.
Oct 25	comment	Should guitar be de-tuned when not in use…? Baggage compartments are almost always pressurized (although, the plane is pressurized to like 8000ft, not sea level). If you think about it, it's easier to pressurize a tube than half a tube.
Oct 5	comment	Get rid (or try to) of latency when using a MIDI instrument How bad is the latency?
Oct 5	comment	What to check when buying a new guitar? @slim, I disagree. It's super easy to fix and $200 is almost nothing for an electric guitar. If you're a beginner and don't know what you are doing, you should get a setup on your guitar anyway. It's worth doing for any guitar, pretty much regardless of price.
Sep 16	comment	Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch Pro? (Or None) Voted to close as a shopping recommendation. Question would be ok as "What should I look for in DJ software" but not as a comparison of two specific pieces of software.
Sep 6	comment	What is a harmonic note and how do you play it? @jadarnel, no the 12th fret harmonic is the same note as the 12th fret fretted.
Aug 31	comment	A guitar won't stay in tune, also dirty pickup selector Terrible idea. WD-40 leaves a residue that attracts dirt. It fixes the problem in the short term, but makes it worse in the long term.
Aug 24	comment	Memorizing notes on guitar fretboard -1 for reason stated above. This isn't an answer.
Jul 27	comment	How do professional accompanying musicians (seem to) figure out songs instantly? Let alone without warming up for live TV.
Jul 20	comment	How to become a DJ @Matthew, I totally disagree. I think the question is certainly sufficient for a complete answer, and I could give one. There are two basic paths, each with a couple of common choices. I could definitely supply a pretty definitive answer to this question. I think if you use the guitar analogy, it's similar to the questions about electric, acoustic, type, style, amps, effects.
Jun 16	comment	Acoustic guitar: How to stop right index finger nail from wearing away? +1 if this is happening, your technique is wrong!
Jun 14	comment	Guitar Amplifier (Head versus Combo versus None) In order to play quietly at home, through your existing stereo, or headphones, something like the POD is definitely the way to go. There are a number of options, but any amp modeler will treat you ok. Once you want to start playing with other people, you'll need a real amp (or PA system), but you'll be fine with the amp modeler for a good while.
Jun 10	comment	Is it acceptable to move hand position while practicing scales on guitar? Then yes, stretch.
May 5	comment	How to play a song without making mistakes? How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Apr 29	comment	How can I toughen up my fingertips? Does this actually work? I kind of feel like calluses are built up with bends and fretting / releasing strings. If the "strings" are static (i.e. you're always pushing on the grip), will it really build calluses?
