For Musicians

Paul was unsatisfied by the electric guitars that were sold in the mid 1930s and began experimenting with a few designs of his own. Famously, he created The Log which was nothing more than a length of common "4 by 4" fence post with bridge, guitar neck, and pickup attached. For appearances he attached the body of an Epiphone jazz guitar, sawn lengthwise with The Log in the middle. This solved his two main problems - feedback, as the acoustic body no longer resonated with the amplified sound, and sustain, as the energy of the strings was not dissipated in generating sound through the guitar body.

Hey Amigo you got my humors. Now all I have to do is convert you into a godless oversexed heathen and you'll be a R&R star, just like me!

Sex and R&R?!? You just did.I play a mean triangle. When do I start?

Panzade, Ohhh man thats nice. Maybe we can borrow it.

i THINK IT'S IN THE rOCK & rOLL hALL oF fAME...IF i'M NOT MISTAKEN..
.see what happens when you leave the caps on?

About the Machine I invented and built the first Guitar Machine in Tucson in 1994 and since then have built three more versions, each time making it more playable and more portable (for playing on the street, in subways, etc...). The machine, often compared to a Rube Goldberg sculpture, consists of an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar and a cowbell all suspended in a copper pipe frame. I play all three instruments by depressing pedals with both of my feet. There are no computers or anything like that involved, it's all mechanical. The pedals pull strings that cause several different movements on the machine, strings get plucked, capo things go up and down, a golf ball hits the cowbell, the "Pretty Polly" doll dances, etc...

Some people have too much time on their hands...

wow...

I just found out i'm not talking about the topic at all.
I thought this thread was for musicians to talk about whatever. Opps

threads have a way of...unraveling...they go where people take them

Sorry, C.S. I misread your thread as well, but it's just variations on a theme. <smile>

How about songs that you would like to play, but can't find?



Still looking for a Japenese song and although satt helped with one, he wasn't quite certain of another.

melody line; key of C.

Yeah we can just make this thread about anything musicians want to talk about, anything goes

It always comes back to pussy, but talking about solos; I like playing legato lines with tons of sustain (not distortion) on the verge of feedback (acoustic feedback not magnetic) with good vibrato control. I like to stay away from the abused pentatonic.

I'm with you on that...except I add a little reverb and a pinch of echo

I try to play without heavy influence, really bringing my own sound in. For me that means the heaviest effects I use are my wah and the tube amp.

There's so many sounds that can be found on the electric guitar that people don't really know about yet.

Think about how young the instrument really is. Fender is celebrating its 60th anniversary, how long have things like violins, horns etc.

The classical acoustic guitar has been around, but the changes to the electric are enough to really add some things not yet discovered.

Right you are my Brian Moore had the usual magnetic Duncans as well as piezo and hex out for guitar synth.

"do do la sol mi do la do" .. Nice theme. But I am sorry, Letty, I don't know whether it is a Japanese song or not.

Ah, Thank you, satt. It is, but all I can here is the music in my head. I think it may have been done in Japanese as well. Hmmm. Maybe my sister, but I doubt it.

must be "Sukiyaki"

Yes, I've rememberd it! Here is a MIDI file.
