You can learn at least 75 chords in one hour. No joke, no exaggeration. Of course, there are hundreds and hundreds more, and they sound beautiful.

Greg is working on a songbook. The release date is not yet scheduled. (Information will be added here as it becomes available.) Guitar transcriptions for many songs are available at Bob Steidl's web site. A few songs are at Active Guitar and Olga. Other songs may be available at other sites on the web. Try using a search engine. (I don't have specific knowledge of any other sites, nor do I have tabs for any songs myself.) See similar questions...

Sure, jumping right into Chords & Voicings is fine. Each book is designed to be a stand alone volume. Just realize that chords come from scales, which is why we recommend starting with Scales & Modes. In fact, the major scale is the "Big Bang" of music. Past experience has shown that those who purchased Chords & Voicings (book and DVD) first, usually get the Scales & Modes material anyway. See similar questions...

The Dulcijo has a diatonic scale like a strum stick but the Dulcijo is designed to be played like a banjo, with a high pitched short 3rd string. The strum stick is more like a hand-held dulcimer. See similar questions...

The four chords of Bittersweet are: G,D, A minor (A on a bass), and C. The break is an A that walks to a C. See similar questions...

There are quite a number of sites out there with more detailed instructions on chords and tabs (but I can't recall any at the moment - sorry). Try doing a search with any search engine. A more intensive (and suffering) way to learn is taking music theory lessons, but I've been through those and they're not worth the pain and anguish if you're just playing for fun once in awhile. If you need any more help, then try asking your friends who can play music or e-mail me with your question. See similar questions...

You can enter chords into your track by selected the radio button pertaining to the root of your chord and its quality (i.e. "D" and "Major"). This selection will be automatically inserted into the track, and the current slot to be edited will be advanced. If your desired chord is not a "Major" or "Minor", find it in the drop-down menu, and select the root of your desired chord in that row of radio buttons. See similar questions...

My first guitar was a classical bought at JB Music. My first electric was a pirated (read: fake) Gibson SG also bought at JB. See similar questions...

This question is probably the second biggest reason this FAQ exists. A Jane Chord is the two-word phrase created by merging the first and last words in a book. These phrases often summarise the books they came from, contain pithy social commentary, or are just plain nonsense. The most-cited example is Joyce's Ulysses, which is Stately yes. Jane Chords are not my invention; they were taught to me by a librarian friend of mine. See similar questions...

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.

If i haven't called you, its not ready. My goal is to provide quality repairs with reasonable turnaround times. Many of my repairs are done just two or three days. Some repairs take longer than expected and calling me repeatedly does not make me work any faster. See similar questions...

I've collected all the tabs I could find and that people have sent to me. See my page at http://www.gis.net/~jdimaria/tcs/tabs.html Some of the same guitar tabs are available via anonymous ftp at ftp.uu.net /doc/music/guitar and other sites that used to have tabs are no longer available. If you have figured out any tabs, please e-mail them to me and try to post them to ftp.uu.net and also to the list. See similar questions...

I decided to ask him about some of the instruments listed on the album's liner, with such exotic appellations as "snake guitar, "digital guitar," and "desert guitars." In the case of the first, for instance, I had often thought that given Eno's reputation it would not be out of the question for him to lay a guitar down in the middle of the recording studio and tape the sound of a reptile belly crawling slowly across the strings. He laughed. See similar questions...

The first guitar I ever played was a 70's to early 80's model Fender acoustic, which I still have. It is a small guitar and was given to my sister for lessons and she later gave it to me when she realized that the guitar just wasn't for her. It is listed on my gear page- She was something.. I remember her coming to Phoenix when I was just a kid.. she reminded me of Charo - she was almost "not real"..I remember she wanted to take me back to Mexico City. See similar questions...

Yes, if you boost the signal level with a Q118 Instrument Interface. Signal levels of a guitar are very low and need to be boosted (amplified) in order to match those of a modular synth. Synthesizers.com modules are not designed to work stand-alone, they need an enclosure such as a cabinet or rack frame, and a power supply system. There is not a module that will extract pitch information from your guitar (Pitch to voltage converter). That is a very difficult task. See similar questions...

Slack Key or Ki Ho'alu has often been referred to as Hawaiian Soul Music. Slack Key is indigenous to Hawaii, and while it is the one of the most difficult styles to master, it is one of the most beautiful to listen to. Slack Key has a very interesting history. King Kamehameha III brought several Spanish Cowboys from California to Hawaii in the 1830's to help control the cattle on Hawaii. See similar questions...

Sure. The onboard guitar preamp isn't usually necessary, but the AP 13 will work fine with most all varieties. Check to see if you need phantom power from the AP 13 though. This setting can be very important to maximizing performance with a second preamp. See similar questions...

This is rather difficult to say. In a strict academic sense the answer is yes. There is invariably a melody set against a drone (usually a tanpura) that includes the tonic and the 5th. By definition, the first, fifth, and anything else is a chord. But for all practical purposes the answer is no. Do not try and listen for chord progressions in any classical music. However, the situation may be different with the popular genres. Film songs have absorbed many Western influences. See similar questions...

The verses are d, c, g (the d is a c up two frets, not an open d strum) and the change is e minor, c, g. So we asked Todd what his lyrics to Brother John were about and this is the response we received "Brother John follows the pattern of the famous folk song but there is an added moral in the bridge "May your awakening be near, Heaven could be any place, why not here"".
