On a completely different note, looks like I am out of time to enter this months songs as we have had a death in the family that is quite close to us, so I will be unable to get something entered before the end of the month, although, I may come back and revisit this months and attempt something later on.  Such great songs on the list.

That said, just a heads up that next months FSOTM for March will be a few days late getting up as I will be away due to the family funeral.  Will do my  best to get it up as quickly as possible on my return.

Please take care of yourself and your family first and foremost ....

Hi Everyone

A couple of strange questions, so please bear with me.

1. Do any of you play with colored guitar strings? I have seen them advertised on Amazon and eBay, but I didn't see a brand name I recognized, such as Ernie Ball or D'addario. So one of my questions is concerning the strength of the strings once the dye is added to color them. They look pretty, but the ones I saw on Amazon were cheap, so maybe the quality is as well.

Hi Bill,

Yes:

I've used the DR brand - they seem to be OK and last for a while, but I haven't gigged with them; all these guitars have been stay at home ones ...

2. Second question concerns finger tuning. I tend not to use a pick to pluck my strings, favoring the "warm" sound of my thumb.
I know it must be a matter of style and guitar (Classical Guitar I am thinking of you here) but have any of you played your electrics with just your fingers and is that what "shredding" means

Yes, I play my electrics almost exclusively with my fingers, but tend to use a lighter guage string to compensate for that - apparently this causes issues with low end of the guitar and sustain, but that's just my playing style. I did use a bass speaker with a guitar head for a while, which tended to bring out more mids; best way is to experiment with what you have and play around with settings ... effects can go a long way smile

Shredding is playing the guitar super fast - generally with high gain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gQLV99BDbc

I'm still puttin' my money on RAM.  Primarily because of the beep codes, and the lack of video output. I actually have one of those Dells sitting on the shop floor right now with a different problem..... but the on-board graphics needs RAM to work, so that was a big clue. smile

... and you're probably right!!

Sometimes you also need to lower the DPI (dots per inch) to either 72dpi or 96dpi (standard Mac and standard PC) - sometimes downloaded pics can be at 300dpi ...

In addition to Dougs post, sometimes you can use an eraser to clean off the terminals (the gold bits that sit in the computer) on the RAM, it's worked a few times for me ...

Yep, I got the "Barracuda" vibe from it to, not sure if that's what you were after ... but it felt like that with "Keep yourself alive" mixed in ...

If it were me, I'd narrow it down to the ESP or the Ibanez; whilst the Epiphone may look "rock n roll", I've never gelled with the reverse Firebird look ... and if I were to choose between ESP and Ibanez, i'd go for Ibanez, as it's a name I've used and have a good feeling about ... they always keep a pretty good resale value in Australia too ... I do like the look of the ESP, but my preference would be the Ibanez; #2. FWIW.
