May 23	comment	Guitar tutoring software that listens to your playing? @Eric Anastas - I have no idea how well it works at all, I've never used this one. But I can tell you that any software is going to have an easier time discerning single notes than chords anyhow!
May 19	comment	Guitar tutoring software that listens to your playing? @skystar - Right. The software can only tell you if you missed a note, not if you've got soul. But "you missed that note" is a form of critique, which is what the question asks for. Obviously no program that listens through a mic can deal with an out of tune guitar - but your tutor won't put up with that either!
May 19	comment	Save money when buying a guitar / amp? @jwenting - The question states explicitly: I want to buy an electric guitar and amp.
May 18	comment	Save money when buying a guitar / amp? This is not an answer to the question - this is an answer to a different question. For instance, if the question had been, "What is the cheapest way to get started playing guitar?" But it's not. The question is clearly about electric guitars.

May 17	comment	Guitar tutoring software that listens to your playing? @Eric Anastas - Well - that's not impossible, either. You can get a soundhole pickup for practically any guitar. If you're doing classical, that means nylon strings, and that means no magnetic pickups.

May 5	comment	Rock power chords that sound good together This is great - these "positional formulae" have been the seeds of zillions of songs! An excellent answer, Faza, I would +1 more if I could!
May 5	comment	Does using a capo put you out of tune? John McLaughlin is credited with saying, "Guitarists spend half their time tuning, and the other half playing out of tune." Tuning your guitar is something you'll have to get used to doing, whether you use a capo or not.
May 3	comment	Glossary of Guitar Effects @InternalConspiracy - I think you're onto something good. I would say that "broad is better than deep" and recommend that we keep the hierarchy to effects-chorus instead of going 3 levels deep.

May 3	comment	Glossary of Guitar Effects @Jduv - I can't imagine that he would take offense. Please update the answer - that's why this is CW, and is entirely in the spirit with which I asked the question!

Apr 29	comment	Glossary of Guitar Effects Thanks, Alistair! I figured this was destined to be CW, but some people are saying that CW is deprecated now, so I didn't want to put that in the question itself.

Apr 29	comment	Glossary of Guitar Effects I am creating some "stub" answers intended to be improved and updated by those more expert than I. This question is a result of discussion in the comments of another question.
