Detman, I was convinced, but I really would see the effect of using multiple amps at the same time
How are they connected??
Most people tell that Jimi was the greatest, to me he is more a kind of "illusionist", WHY, because people paid a lot more attention to his "PERFORMANCE", he was indeed one of the best guitar player, but to me NOT THE BEST. See SRV, less show, so people are less distracted by a spectacular show. SEE RAMMSTEIN, a German group, unfortunately linked to much to the skinheads & neo nazis, with guitars spitting fire. Also see Kiss.
Jimi died so young and became an idol.
Another crazy fact is that people like COBAIN, and even more: ELVIS PRESLEY, who sold millions of albums after he died. There is a rumour that he was almost bankrupted.

Jerome, I taught " 2 RULES: no "THE" something, and no verbs? At first I was convinced that you were against these rules, here.
But what I like is the band name: "THE SOMETHING"

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE...

sumelton, your my men. I hope some others try to give comment on brand new albums.
Take Springsteen, with MAGIC, my comment was a lot shorter than the John Fogerty's REVIVAL.
Probably they can all be found on youtube, a thing I forgot, I even didn't think about it, so I am really grateful for your contribution AND YOUR INFO.

Is it a song of a woman named Paula Cole? I only found lyrics, but there is a Paula Cole singing I am so ordinary, on youtube.
If you are experienced, try to play along with the song, but as I read you probably did this. I don't know the song, neither the singer, but I will try to find more.
That's a promess

Southpaw and Detman, thanks for everything, but to answer your question Detman, I looked a few hours and trying to use your budget, you will find only amps, mend to practise. But 30W, yes that can be OK, they will hear you quit good, if I should know this: HOW MANY NOISE IS PRODUCED BY A DRUMMER, playing like he always play. The comments I saw described 30W can be enough to be heard, but JESUS, if the drummer plays like the late JOHN "BONZO" BONHAM (Led Zeppelin) I think you need 200W

So amigo, SouthPaw, what is the name of your band, or are you performing alone? This topic might be interesting, of course hoping that people will answer like you do. I really appreciate it.
It is very subjective of course, but I am very interested in how many "chordians" are able to live, or do have an extra job, by playing. I should really love that you can help me, maybe another name for this topic, like who can live from playing solo/band or as side job.
What is your opinion?
I do know one thing: people always look at the sunny side, dreaming about FAME. My answer is always the same, I was active as Doc on one of the biggest rock festivals, and was also Doc in theatre, with Belgium greatest actors. Believe me, my job was hard, I worked 14-15 hours a day, and Saturday 8-9 hours: result: relation crashes. But actors, musicians who reached a certain level, THEY WORK & PERFORM, WHILE WE HAVE A FREE WEEKEND, HOLIDAY, X-MAS..
That is the side the public doesn't see at all. Or earning a lot of money, like I did, why: I worked as a fool, and was always the first to invest in material like a surgical laser (50.000$), which caused a PHENOMENAL JEALOUSY BY MY COLLEAGUES, even so bad that they started to spread rumours, like drinking, women (that part is right) but I survived all these things, even better, the more they talked about me, the more people I saw. Unfortunately, it is all over now, but even disabled, I had the luck to sign too many insurance contracts, so the jealous collueges are still there, with me laughing, even in this situation.
CONCLUSION: TO ALL PEOPLE WHO ENVY OR ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE OF A MUSICIAN THINK TWICE, YOU CAN RELAX AND THE ARTIST IS WORKING

Guitarpix, did I read it correct, that you can play "More than Words" by EXTREME?
I want to play this already for years and sometimes I am real close without reading tabs. WHY?

I am not a rhythm guitarist, and I can play only a solo for a few seconds. I play maybe in a strange way. My style is, as a lot of people I know have told me, that using riffs and licks, quit difficult to play, and my "skill" depends a lot on the "how I feel" problem, I play something, it sounds fantastic (TO ME!), and the next day, even remembering the song, it sounds awful, I think a lot of stuff you play, depends on your mood, see electric when feeling more aggressive (I AM ALMOST NEVER AGGRESSIVE) and acoustic, when calm. I wanted to say that your mood affects a lot the way you play. So, most of people tell me that I am more a lead guitarist, playing a song in such a way that you recognise the song very fast.
So, if I am a lead guitarist, and I would play in a band, there are very few solos, and isn't that necessary to be a lead guitarist? I am also very lazy, I studied 7 years at the university to become a Medical Doctor, but I studied 1 month before the tests. I am also someone who doesn't like to read manuals, like for my BOSS BR 600. Conclusion: trying tabs is, knowing me, not my thing, but I think I should try harder to learn reading tabs. DO YOU KNOW A SITE, OR INFORMATION TO LEARN TABS THE EASY WAY? IT WILL IMPROVE MY STYLE, IT IS JUST SINCE A FEW MONTHS (THANKS CHORDIE) THAT I START TO LEARN READING TABS.
Can I have some advise? knowing that I am lazy? Almost never I had to learn, because I think I am blessed with a very good memory, and this fact is not realy healthy, a lot of jealousy, when I was student, and the same when practising. Everything was to easy for me, so a lot of work, and living like a god, and always the first to start with the newest techniques, like laser.
Sex, drugs & Rock 'n Roll AND an awful lot of patients (a lot called me Rockdoc), again causing jealousy between the other doctors and me.
So I am glad that I wrote this, it relieves me and I am not lying or exaggerating things

Thanks moddish, I believe and hope that this topic is a good one.
WHY? because of the fact that the age of CHORDIANS has to be between 12 to 80 years, and so we are able to have a closer idea about the difference in taste.

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: TASTE WAS RORY GALLAGHERS GROUP

ebigham1 I have also the SG and a Les Paul, but I sold my standard and got a real nice price.
Maybe I shouldn't have done this, but I have a Gibson LP Supreme, and 2 customs.
As I told, I have a PRS SE (can it be a Billy Martin?) and this guitar sounds better than my SG.
There are TOO MANY guitars on the market. 20 years ago, you had 1 choise: A Gibson LP Standard, and a Custom, and a Gibson SG, Fender: Stratocaster or telecaster.
Take a look today in your music store: 30 different stratocasters, reissues, Clapton and others, relics. It is really confusing.
My Gibson SG Menace, has no lacquer finish, no covers on the humbuckers, and was affordable.
One of the things that make guitars expensive is caused by the lacquer finish. I saw how it was done, and ... a huge work, similar to a car,  PRECISION WORK, the workers there wear masks, the guitars are in a special place to dry. The time they use for this, is almost the same to build a guitar. BUT WILL IT CHANGE THE SOUND?
