Z...if you dont like being called "sir" would you prefer "miss"?

NB one slip of that sword and it wont be the title under your arm 

i always had trouble with curly leads, especially on stage work.

as you dont stay in one place the connectors in the jacks tend to get pulled and twisted as you move around, eventually coming loose, crackling etc.

if your just sitting in your front room jamming away you should have no problems. if it's stage work, make sure you carry a spare.

i love fenders myself and have a strat and tele (mexicans) though i find the quality excellent, i do find they make a bit of noise whereas korean or japanese guitars are quieter. i've never recieved a lead (curly or otherwise) with a new guitar. maybe they take them out in the UK!

i used to make electric wire, and i can tell you the best wire to get (if your making your own) is computer cable. (it needs to be shielded though) the noise you get comes from the fact that the copper is rough. smoother copper creates less resistance so less noise and the sound will flow easier.

hope this helps

hi spike, welcome to the crazy world of music lovers and ear torturers (mainly 6 string variety)

yes it's a great site, when i joined i was looking for some kind of song writing support, i found it in spades. please avail yourself of all the benefits and assistance chordie affords.

singing is just like guitar really, the more you play the better you get (apparently) unless of course you break a string....i wish i hadn't said that

This is the full and final? version and video of this track. I think it's a little better than the original

you're not asking much are you?

i don't even know who the names you mentioned are, so i can't help....sorry

thanks for joining us xvircanes, welcome to chordie.

what a shame you only joined to put spam on later. that's why you've been banned...bang, the spamhammer falls

i dont feel so bad now, it must have been a very small flower?

keep your eyes on your driving, keep your hands on the wheel.
and keep your snoopy eyes on the spam ahead

thanks roger, until i read your post earlier as far as i was concerned the tune was finished. but now it's developed a middle 8 and some arrangement. i've re-recorded it but i have no intention of putting words to it.

and thanks to you too russ. inspiration came from a conversation with some guitarist from over the pond. all i have to do now is re-film it?

it's funny how some strings do that and others dont, well not so much. i'm sorry but it's the nature of the beast that they will squeak! you could try lubricating them (not a joke) use a light oil or the polish you'd use on wood....strange but true. you could also (and i do this before a gig) rub hand lotion into your hands/fingers, and it will help the squeak and your skin.
oh i forgot to say, to apply oil or wax polish, put it on a rag not directly onto the guitar and just rub onto the finger board strings.
