I'm gonna have to say no on this one. I've played with the Marshall100 & the 50. The 100 is tad bit more powerful and has a few extra channels. But, for the money, and the solo performer, the 50 works just fine for me. I actually have 2 of  the 50's that I set up stage left and stage right but for my smaller, indoor gigs I'll use only 1 of them. The volume is plentiful and the sound is easily managable with crystal clear sound. Good luck, keep askin' around and try 'em both.

How do you hook up the two amps ?

I like what I can afford.

Wrong thread.

Absolutely .my friend .

Maybe if you were to record what you play would give you more inspiration.

I use the as50d and find it a pretty good amp , I play an Ovation and a Freshman acoustic through it and it produces very clean sounds. It also has reverb and chorus functions I also run a mic through it for vocals using the xlr jack.

DISCLAIMER:  This information will be put in my own words using my own original methods.  I try my best to teach things in a clear and easy to understand way.  This method is based on what I have learned from teaching how to play guitar. 

The screen shots linked to a folder I created STRICTLY FOR CHORDIE MEMBERS. 

Please work with me while get a feel for posting the images and aligning the screen shots.  I want to provide the highest possible quality notation for my explanations. 

I think that I was going a little too far with the basics so lets start learning what I call the Major Scale formula.


Diagram 1

Diagram 2

http://home.comcast.net/~musicman2006/p … string.png

Diagram 1 will most likely look familiar to most of you already.  Diagram 1 shows both guitar tab AND standard notation showing the C major scale (no flats or sharps) labled C D E F G A B C.   

The formula is W W h W W W h.  The W stands for whole step (two frets) and the h stands for a half step (one fret).  I notated the half steps in red just to help dfferentiate the Whole and half steps.

To be continued...

What the....????

A one lined treble cleff......(diagram 1)

A 3 string guitar tab with fret #'s on an invisible string..(diagram 1)

and a guitar fretboard without a B string....(diagram 2)


Your disclaimer at the beginning of this post really makes sense now.  This is definitely original and unlike any notation, standard or tab, that i have ever encountered....

Something wrong with your PC matey .

Ok if I say I am just a guitar player and not an "expert" and made that statement would that be acceptable?

I am just a musician who wants to help others with some basic music theory that I teach in my own words and not teach a college music theory course.

I take back the term expert (since that is what started this whole mess) comment and would like to be considered a musian helping other musicians out.

If need be I can change the title so no more feathers get ruffled.

Thanks

Steve

Well I hope those of a pedantic nature go back to their little world, soon, and let the rest of us enjoy this site for the reasons we signed-up to Chordie. I,m certainly looking forward to a plain language explanation to music theory that is being offered. so give the guy a break,PLEASE.

Canudigit,

This wasn't a wisecrack at all Steve, it was a genuine, sincere question.  And the fact that you find a legitimate question "rediculous", well I find quite humorous.  It was not my intent to offended you. I just wanted to get a feeling of where you're at and what you're all about. Thanks for clearing' that up for me....

Peace and Guitars,

You could have fooled me.  ps. spelling correction ....RIDICULOUS.....OK.

I wish I had the courage to do attempt a project like that on mine.
