you wanna try f# minor?

That could mean that your key could be an F. As far as playing with a capo some people use it to make things easier. You don't have to use it. If you have the capo on the second fret and play an Em chord shape the actual chord is a Fm.

You're right, that's why so many great guitarists chose models like Strats, Teles, LP's, and SG's. But when people see their idols playing these guitars, they want them too.
With all do respects the reason why they or anyone bought the brands and models mentioned is because they were the only one's available. Guitars at the time were hand made (with the use of electric machines) not on cnc machines like now.

Re: HOME RECORDING TOOLS TO HELP MAKING SONGS (2 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
lieven your boss BR 600 is similar to my Boss BR8 it has a virtual track feature you can splice in corrected tracks or mute out the undesireable sections, all the edit funtions pan,eq,delay,reverb are already contained within the Boss you dont have to add any software to include the song in your library (media player) record the final mixed tracts to the cd and finalize it so it can be read as a cd when you rip it to your library in a mp3 format from there you can upload it anywhere from the browser options on the page you want to place it or email it. for drums i would recomend an alesis SR-16 for bass you have that funtion in your effects onboard the BOSS you just have to take the time to learn how to get the most out of what you already have read the owners manual everything you want to do is in there

Re: stickers on guitars ? (7 replies, posted in About Chordie)
on an accustic it might deaden the sound somewhat because the accustic gets its sound from the resonation of the wood and stickers could effect it somewhat and if you plan on keeping it it wont matter till you want to sell it or trade it in it might me a little tough getting the stickers off,stickers wont make you sound better but if it give you emotional security plaster it

Re: Anything to soloing besides practice? (3 replies, posted in Electric)
i think if you learn scales major and minor to start it will train your fingers and your mind as you get used to the different modes you will sudconciously remember them but it takes a lot of practice to be smooth and fluid but start with the basics first and progress one step at a time if you keep at it you will improve so.......practice basics you have to crawl before you can run
