Topic: X factor dreary songs (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Is it me or has music stepped into a dreary phase I've been watching the x factor and contestants are singing the most dreary songs,i absolutly hate songs like hosiers take me to church,bad versions of proud mary and the monotonous dirge of forgetfull covers If there gona do covers make them somthing individual ,several ocasions Simon Cowell stopped artists from singing original songs in favour of covers ,maybe it should be called lets find a tribute act.

Re: Plexi Drum Shields (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Maybe its to keep the acoustic sound of the drums bleeding into the audio mics ,so only the miced sound of the drums comes through the PA and monitors alowing the band to play at lower stage volumes while the drummer still knocks 7 bells out of his kit.

Topic: nice guitar day (1 replies, posted in Electric)
My band mate brought me a Rickenbacker 620 to try the other day ,Ive never tried one before and I must say in some respects I was very impressed .It had the lowest action of any guitar I have ever played ,but the way its wired up was very confusing it has 2 outputs one mono and one stereo , so as we didnt have a stereo cable I couldnt test it in that mode however in mono through a custom amp on the clean channel it sounded great ,so easy on the fingers great for bar chords .All in all a very nice instrument
