Until recently, my main flat top you have seen me use in concert was made by John Colvin in the early 90's. I've used it on several recordings: Short Stories, Flatpick & Clawhammer, Promised Land, Rhyme Schemes, and most of Top Drawer String Band, How Like The Holly, and Six Of One. It's a lovely guitar - it always delivers what I ask of it. Not the fanciest looking guitar but a sonic jewel. I think of it as a "Shaker" guitar - simple and functional. See similar questions...

Julian prefers acoustic guitars and plays a 1957 Gibson, a 12 string Taylor and a CJ 32 Yamaha. "Acoustics are much easier to lug around and obviously if you have an idea it's a lot easier, for me, I feel like there's a whole sound there rather than the electric sound, unless you're gonna carry another bunch of gear around to plug it all in. Even the walkmans and stuff, I like the sounds of acoustic and I'm mainly a rhythm player anyway. See similar questions...

Some people want to learn music just as a hobby and some want to be professional musicians. Some people learn faster than others. Some people are talented and practice hard, some are talented but don't practice enough, some are not as talented but practice hard. So, it all depends how you practice and how much you practice.

In the beginning, in the first draught, Gea played the electric guitar. Then I chose to make her play the bass because I believe it's an instrument which reflects her character better. Usually, the bass player isn't at the front of the stage, like the singer or guitarist who are naturally more exhibitionistic. The bass player stays in the background but often holds the whole group together rhythmically. See similar questions...

You can play jazz on any kind of guitar. For example, most Brazillian guitar music is played on nylon-stringed guitars, but Gene Bertoncini uses them for straight-ahead jazz as well. Ed Bickert plays a Telecaster. Lenny Breau played a custom 7-string nylon string (with an extra high A string instead of the more common extra low A string). Larry Coryell uses a Steve Grimes flattop on "Private Concert". See similar questions...

Slaid plays his father's Gibson J-50 (which he bought new in 1965) with Martin SP Medium strings. He blends a Baggs I-beam pickup with an AudioTechnica 831a acoustic intrument mic through a Raven Labs two-channel DI. See similar questions...

He plays Pat music. He writes all his own songs, in a variety of styles. One person has said that it is "good drinking music." It's really kind of hard to pin down; if you have a good description, let me know. His main appeal is to the college crowd, but it is not unusual to see others not fitting this stereotype enjoying his music. See similar questions...

In the series, a black, six string, Gibson SG is used. The most noticeable difference in this guitar compared to the movie is that the Fender (movie guitar) has all six adjuster tabs on the topside of the neck. The Gibson SG has three adjuster tabs on either side of the neck. See similar questions...

Eric actually is seen playing two different guitars in the movie. Before his death, Eric owned a black Ibanez EX model. This guitar can be seen in the flashback sequence that is shown while Eric is burning the photos of he and Shelly. The guitar that we see Eric take from Gideon's and later plays on the rooftop is a solid black, six string, standard Fender Stratocaster. Most fans associate the Strat with Eric since he plays it on the rooftop and the Ibenez is only shown once in a flashback. See similar questions...

Animals. Sort of. They were setting the album up to be released on the US 8-track tape (remember those?) and needed a bit of music to bridge the two versions of "Pigs on the Wing." He was available at the time, and recorded a short guitar solo. tracks had (as you might guess) 8 tracks; or 4 stereo tracks. This meant that albums had to be divided up into four roughly equal parts. See similar questions...

The story is becoming a legend. When Navarro was about 12 years old he was in a skateboard park and heard what he thinks was either Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" or "Purple Haze" on the PA system. He didn't know that Hendrix was playing the same instrument he was learning. All he knew is he loved what he heard and wanted to create the same sound. It was at that moment that he decided he wanted to become a rock guy. See similar questions...

Yes. It is very easy for even complete non-players to play. Guitar players already have good controlof their fingers, afe experienced with rhythms and strumming and fretting. The Strumstick uses different fingerings than guitar, but is so easy that guitar playes adapt to it very quickly. The most often heard comment from guitar players trying it for the first time is "hey, this is cool, and easy" back to top See similar questions...

Although most guitarists know there are 3 octaves on a guitar, few know how to play on a 3 octave scale because they lack a systematic approach to moving continuously down the neck of the guitar. Fingering a three octave scale is a very advanced level of play. Guitar Master's 3-octave method teaches the guitarist multiple scale forms that connect to form a fluid 3-octave scale.
