Answer - Some guys tune down to make singing easier. Especially when they tour and have to sing almost every night. Answer - You will have to loosen the tremolo springs on the back of the guitar to counter act the loss of tension from the heavier strings. The springs were probably tightened when the heavier strings were installed.

Your B string to your E 6th fret and your high E string to your low E string which should already be de-tuned.

Answer - To tune the guitar down a half step simply means to tune every string down one fret or a flat. If your guitar is tuned standard 440 pitch E / A / D / G / B / E, a half step down would be Eb / Ab / Db / Gb / Bb / Eb. Answer - It sounds like your pots are on the way out, but it could be a build up of dirt on the internal surface parts. You can try to clean them with a contact and head cleaner that can be bought at an electronics store. If this does not work you may have to replace them.

To best explain the most common causes of this problem, lets follow the path of the strings. We begin at the tuners. If the they are poorly made, loose, or installed incorrectly, the strings will slip. Next, the strings can bind at the nut if the slots are cut at the wrong angle or incorrect width. Now the strings pass over the entire neck and this is where intonation is very important. If it has not been properly set, you will notice some chords sound in tune and others do not.

There are several ways to tune a guitar. One way is to use an electronic tuner, of which there are several types. There is also a way to tune the guitar fairly accurately without using an electronic tuner. You do need to tune one string (usually the fifth or A string) to an accurate source like a tuning fork, pitch pipe, or a piano. Be sure to tune the fifth string to the proper octave. If you tune it too high, you risk breaking strings or damaging the instrument.

Answer - Dropped "D" tuning is achieved by simply tuning the Low "E" string down to a "D". It gives you a chunky low sound which is great if your playing in the key of "D".

XTC cover Bob Dylan's “All Along the Watchtower” on their White Music album. They also recorded a cover of the theme song from the UK TV show Fireball XL-5 during those sessions, but it was not officially released until 2002 on Coat of Many Cupboards (and even then, only in an edited/remixed form). XTC also cover Captain Beefheart's “Ella Guru” on the Fast & Bulbous: A Tribute to Captain Beefheart compilation album, originally released in the UK in June 1988.

Anwser: Everything is self explanatory in our program so... MOSTLY no. However, we do like working with HUNGRY people. If you are EXTRA Hungry and motivated we just MIGHT!

Answer - Don't feel bad, I've been playing for 25 years and I'm still trying to catch up to new stuff. The Floyd Rose was not designed for what you are trying to achieve because it's a floating system, that's why it's giving you a hard time (you can try blocking the bridge with a piece of wood). They do make a Floyd system that has a drop "D" tuner on it but that's as far as they go with it.

o. Try my tutorial(s) on the FTP in the program related section. Or ask your host. I personally prefer Ws_FTP with BestExplorer FTP.

Did you see the website demo page? Select a speaker and type some text? Click the "SPEAK" or "DOWNLOAD" button? Did it appear to download any audio? Was there a download progress indicator? Was an audio player launched or attempted? If you get no audio download, there may be something wrong with our TTS server. If you download audio but cannot play it, the problem is likely on your side (but keep reading for hints). The website's basic operation is as simple as possible.

We don't like you, so we're ignoring you. Or, probably more accurate, our brains fell out temporarily and we missed it. Send it on over and we'll see about getting you that answer you so desperately crave. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all such related things, © Mutant Enemy and many other people with big scary lawyers. We're borrowing them without permission, but you said you were done with 'em, so we're hoping you won't mind so much.

First you must determine whether your strings actually change in pitch, or whether you have intonation problems "up the neck" making it difficult to tune in the first place. Bear in mind that old strings often play out of tune, so it's wise to restring if you're in doubt. Check the harmonic over the twelfth fret, and play the fretted note in that position. They should coincide.

Answer - A piece of wood placed between the guitar body and the block part of the tremolo (on the back of the guitar under the tremolo spring cover) is probably the best approach.

Check out the Wizardry 8 Discussion Board on the VaultNetwork -- that's where much of this FAQ originated. You'll find lots of fellow Wizardry friends, along with the latest news about the game from Sir-tech Canada. Please keep in mind, none of these are official solutions, and you do them at your own risk. These are solutions offered by the work of many people on the Wizardry 8 message forums. W8 installed and played at work.

Answer Half life is the time it takes for the blood level to decrease by half after discontinuing product use. Therefore, if ingestion of ACS 200 (which has a half life of 15 days) is discontinued, and the blood level at the time is for discussion sake 20, in 15 days the blood level will decrease to 10.

I was thinking of having some kind of contest with really cool prizes, like an all-expense paid trip to Tahiti...but then I thought some of you might balk at shelling out money on a nice trip for me. And to be honest, the thought of relaxing somewhere on the beach being surrounded by oily, lithe, tanned bodies with the scent of vanilla lingering in the air while listening to the sound of the surf isn't exactly paradise compared to all the treats I have access to below.

Did WE do that? Not necessarily. Sometimes Yahoo gets clogged up and posts disappear randomly. But yes, we can, and yes, we do delete posts. Lest you think that posts get deleted left and right, just ask some of the long-time members: it rarely happens. Very, very rarely. We run the club with a very even hand. However, while this is a publicly visible club, Yahoo grants founders the right to monitor posts and delete any that are causing problems on the board.

The two were introduced by ex-Animals bassist Chas Chandler, the man who put together the Jimi Hendrix Experience. They met at an early Cream concert at the Polytechnic of Central London, on October 1, 1966. Jimi had been wary of going to England, but Chandler's promise to introduce him to EC pushed him over the edge. When the two first met, Hendrix played Killing Floor for EC.

Yes, just one time back in 1968. Frank was a drummer at the time and really had no concept of the guitar. Even after seeing Jimi, Frank was still convinced on being a drummer. The guitar passion did not come until later.

Every repair I do comes with a large Guitar Lab receipt with the details of the repair hand written by me. If you didn't get that receipt, I didn't do the work.

Oh-oh. You caught us. We made up some of these questions ourselves. Think of "FAQ" as not just "frequently asked questions" but also "questions that ought to be asked (and answered) frequently". Your participation in a moderated digest requires that you be informed of how things are supposed to work.

Say the half life of a drug is 10 hours for example: After taking for example 20 mg then after 10 hours it would decrease to 10 mg and then 10 hours later to 5 mg and then 10 hours after that 2.5 mg, then 1.25 mg and so on until the drug is undetectable. In terms of drug withdrawal, the shorter the half life, the more quickly and intensely withdrawal symptoms will be experienced upon dosage reduction.

Unlike the piano and the piano-tuners that you can hire to tune it, a harpist must tune his/her own harp. Harps also generally go out of tune more often than pianos. While temperature and humidity changes will affect any instrument made out of wood, a harp is generally moved more often than a piano--not just from room to room, but also from home to car to event and back again. How often the harp needs to be tuned depends on several factors.

If YOU composed it, by all means post it. We're here to share and we all dig hearing each other's stuff -- in fact that was the original purpose of the group. Feel free to post your composition in any format (i.e. VST, Cakewalk, Acid, MP3, whatever) but make sure you tell us what format it is in.

seen in the picture in the Stompbox book, he ran his strat into a Vox wah wah (Clyde McCoy or V-846 depending on the year), then into his custom-made Roger Mayer Octavia, Then his Fuzz Face, then the Uni-Vibe, and lastly into his Marshall Amps. At least he did this on the day the picture was taken!

The Tremsetter stabilizes your tremolo to minimize "tremolo sag". "Tremolo sag" is what you experience when you bend a string, increasing the string pressure causing your tremolo to rock or sag forward. This puts your adjacent strings out of tune. This is especially annoying when you are trying to play country or blues style double stop bends. Also, when your tremolo sags forward, you have to bend farther to raise the pitch of your strings.

This is not an exact science, but here are some suggestions to get you started. For the high E string, take a violin D string and tune it up a whole step. For the B string, tune up a violin A string a whole step. For the G, you can use a regular violin G. For the D, use a viola C and tune it up a step. For the A, take a viola C and tune it down a minor 3rd to A. And finally for the low E, use a violin F and tune it down a half step to E.

Still, you must not be _entirely_ adverse to the whole concept of figs, despite your angry denials of my more-than-reasonable requests.

In addition to the local monorail (described above), there is also an express monorail, following the same route. However, the express monorail provides service only between the MK and the TTC, and actually travels in the opposite direction. It does not stop at any of the resorts. If a monorail passes the Polynesian without stopping, it was the express. The local should be along within a few minutes, from the opposite direction, and will stop at all monorail resorts.
