to cut a long story short i wasnt able to go to the guthrie gig last week because someone fucked up my paycheck at work.:mad:
the crazy thing is guthrie’s entirely self taught. he’s literally spent his entire life noodling and smoking cigarettes and now he’s known as one of the most technically proficient guitarists of all time.
i find it strange that guthrie hates youtube, if it wasnt for youtube i doubt any of us would know who is… either way i dont think he cares.
If you’re against YouTube, you’re against the march of time.
Any of you guys bought Rocksmith for PS3/XBOX360? It’s a great game for beginners like me imo; I’ve been hook to it since I got it. Single note version of songs and chord breakdown section is excellent. I wish the UI was more intuitive though and more songs available. I’m digging the pace of the game; the higher you go in the score dept, more notes are revealed until it’s the entire range for the song.
Riff of the Week
i should change this to song of the week…
anyway, old man Jeff Pevar is GOING OFF!

I’m just reposting this because it was at the bottom of the last page. I tried googling for answers but my query is turning up dry.
Types of Guitar Buzzing Problems
Fret Out or String Buzz - This happens when a string comes in contact with a fret and a buzzing sound occurs. This is the most frequent cause of annoying buzzes. See chart for diagnostics.
Hardware Buzz - Parts can also cause buzzing. Probably the most common items which buzz on acoustic guitars are loose input jacks and loose tuning machine bushings. Pre-amps and pickup components that are not seated well can also rattle.
**Sympathetic Buzz **- Thankfully this is not too common. Certain frequencies can set off strange rattling and vibrations. These types of buzzes differ in that they occur only when certain frequencies are played.
**Loose Brace Rattle- **Braces that split or come loose in an acoustic guitar can sometimes be heard rattling against the top or back when playing or tapping.
I’m playing on electric guitar btw. It’s less fret buzzing now that I’ve been trying to clean up my fretwork (I’ve only been playing for 4 months now). It’s more a problem of accidental pulloffs on the high E string when switching from a D major chord.

lol, somone needs to give this guy a guitar with more than 4 strings.
if i were in an indie rock band, i’d beg her to join us.
its a man. i can understand the confusion though, lol… he posted a video with his shirt off just to prove it.
judging from comments i wasnt the only one confused.
Been plucking around on the bass off and on. I have a pedalboard that can emulate an Ampeg SVT, from which I have crudely attempted to wrangle a decent tone. Other than boosting at around 600Hz and 3kHz, I’m not sure what to do.
It’s not like a Marshall, where you just turn everything up.
The interview with Pierce Morgan made me lol.

How did you guys learn how to transcribe by ear? I’ve been trying to do this by ear and at least be able to recognize the chords/strings that I’ve practiced before but it’s damn difficult to do with anything. It’s damn there impossible for me to recognize which chords are being played if the riff has effects added to it.
I… didn’t XD. Been practicing for years, it’s something I think I just don’t have which annoys me, most other things I’ve been able to learn with a lot of practice. You can try online ear trainers, I’ve used them a lot, but I struggle to get much further than basic intervals and chords.
Just takes a lot of time and experience really. IMO it’s something you don’t just learn. As you listen to different styles of music and learn songs, eventually you’ll become familiar with the sounds of the chords and scales being used in the songs. Something “dissonant” sounding may be a diminished scale, or some exotic scale with weird intervals. You really just get better at ear transcribing the more you listen-- REALLY listen, even going so far as to find out what type of scale/chord was used-- to both the music around you and whatever you’re playing.
For example, if I hear a Spanish-sounding scale and I know I’m quite familiar with phrygian mode, phrygian dominant, etc all I pretty much need to do from there is find out what key it’s played in. I know what scale is used, so I just need to find out the key in order to match the sound.
