I play guitar and am switching over to bass. Can a bass play on my guitar amp? I heard the phrase 'bass amp' many times, so I'm not sure.


Answer
Buddy Do Not play your Bass in your Guitar amp.. The bass is too low and it WILL blow your amp out.... happened to me before but you CAN use a guitar on a bass amp as long as u dont blast some crazy shreddin'.

How fast can you play classical guitar without nails?

guitar nails

guitar nails image



uhh


Are there any famous classical guitarists out there that don't play with their nails? And are they still able to play fast?


Answer
You are talking about classical - nylon string guitar, yes?
I can't really see how playing with your finger nails versus your finger flesh has anything to do with speed. However, it has a lot to do with sound, and I haven't seen or heard anyone that relies on just using the fingers - no nails.
Mind you, I can be wrong of course :-) It's just that the use of the nails is such an integral part of classical guitar - after all that's the "pick".
For example, you can see in this video: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/262179/martha_masters_classical_guitar_jam_part_1/ how the nails on the artists right hand is very long (where the thumb nails act almost as a pick), while the nails on the fretting hand is short.
Or here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIiaY_MScUc - observe the different in finger nail length on the right versus the left (fretting) hand - it would be very hard to get this kind of things pulled off without having the finger nails trimmed correctly.

Kiwilover


There's a cable at the guitar store that is a standard jack at one end and a USB adapter at the other. Can I use this to record straight into my computer? If so, is there a good program, preferably cheap, that i can use to do this?


Answer
YOu should be able to use this to record to your computer. Until you know what you really want to do with your recording, try using Audacity as it's free. As you get experienced, you'll know what you want and be in a better position to pruchase software that you need.

Audacity is available at:

4dugnlee


It is an acoustic guitar that my parents got me for Christmas when I was 16. (30 years ago) I know it had the brand sticker inside it but it has been removed. All I have is what I think is the serial number (maybe) and that it is made in Korea. I believe it is a solid top and solid back, has adjustable saddle, is sunburst design, and has pearl inlay on the fretboard. I know that isn't much to go on...sorry.

yankeeguy3


I have a VOX Valvetronix amp and my idiot older brother has misplaced the the power cord to it. Where is the best place to find said replacement as well as a guitar jack to plug into the amp itself since that seems to be missing as well. Thanks!


Answer
The power cable is just a standard plug. The one in the back of your computer will work. You can find replacements at drug stores, Radio Shack, hardware stores, Best Buy, and of course guitar stores.

The instrument cable is a standard 1/4'' jack and the cable is shielded. This you can find at Radio Shack, a guitar store, or Best Buy. Make sure you get an 'instrument' cable. Speaker cable looks similar and will actually work but it's not shielded and you'll get electrical interference messing up your signal.

Can I put a pickup on my acoustic guitar?

 on Guitar Player Highlights the Cort AS-M5 in Acoustic Shootout | Cort ...
guitar accessories acoustic image



Mango Bear


My guitar is an acoustic guitar. Yep, just a plain ol' acoustic. Is it possible that I can put an acoustic pickup on it? Or does my guitar have to be acoustic-electric to use the pickup? Sorry, I'm a beginner.
Thanks in advance.



Answer
TommyMc did a fine job already but I'll add my 2 cents.

The easiest way is to put a magnetic sound hole pickup in the sound hole but that will not retain the acoustic quality of your guitar. It will make it sound like an electric guitar.

The most common and cheapest way to install a pickup that retains the acoustic sound is to install a piezoelectric element under the saddle. Some wiring is done inside the body of the guitar to attach the battery pack and preamp, and the end hole is bored out just enough to accept the output jack (which is attached to the preamp). You can expect to pay around $140 for the pickup with electronics and another $100 for the installation at your local music store. Here's a sample pickup:

http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fishman-Matrix-Infinity-Acoustic-Guitar-Under-Saddle-Pickup?sku=309393

There are better - and more expensive - acoustic pickups available from companies like LR Baggs, PUTW, B-Band, McIntyre, Schertler, and others. However for most people the under-saddle piezo pickup is just fine.

guitar quilt pattern image



Raymond Vo


A while back I met a kid who had a Dean Acoustic Guitar. His guitar had the Exotic Quilted Ash Finish. I have an idea for an art piece, sort of a sculpture I guess, and I want the wood to have that look. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW I CAN CREATE THAT LOOK!? Like a wood stain or finish or something? Help me 0.0


Answer
As Mike says, you can either use that wood as veneer, which means you can buy wood as a thin layer which you then can glue onto a surface. Depending on the shape of your sculpture this might be easy or next to impossible. Basically you have a stiff two dimensional sheet which you will need to fit to your shape.

Or you can check out faux finishes. Since it's an rather irregular pattern it would require a lot of practice. Simpler wood grain patterns can be achieved with tools like a woodgraining rocker/tool (e.g. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/paint/brushes-rollers-trays/wood-graining-kit-97790.html#.UCkwFaFlS8A), but for something like that you'd have to experiment quite a bit. Also most faux finishing techniques are for simple and flat surfaces.

And I think this is the finish you want: http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/us/store/image/202900767712863/dean-exotica-quilted-ash-left-handed-acoustic-electric-guitar-gloss-natural/

How do i modify my thick guitar cord into a regular 3.5 audio cord?
Actually, now that i think about it, this question sounds kinda dumb...EDIT....i need 1 end to be regular guitar thickness, the other end to be the normal audio jack....



Answer
Well, you can just buy one... or you can make one up yourself. A guitar cord has only two wires in it, so you'd chop off the big end that you're going to replace, strip the wires inside of the cable, and solder them to a new 3.5 audio connector, which you can get from Radio Shack or somewhere similar. It shouldn't make too much difference which way you wire them.

I need to get a guitar quick and the was the only store open at the time so I bought one there. I don't expect it to be great but as long as its not so bad.


Answer
Seriously... a guitar sold at a clothing store? Would you think that a music store knows much about fashion and clothes or that a car dealership is up to date on the quality of stocks and bonds?

You may of course have been blessed with extreme luck and made it with something that is usable for things other than decoration, although I doubt it very much.

A guitar is not a pair of pants that can be made to fit. If the quality of the guitar is not there, then you're left with a fancy looking and unusable toy, or expensive (and short-lived) firewood.

At least do the smart thing of bringing with you someone who can evaluate the price versus quality.

What is a good inexpensive firewire or usb audio interface. Nothing special just something to record guitar, but good quality. I have a macbook pro and firewire would be good be usb will work also. I just want something to record my guitar, but not sound terrible.


Answer
I buy all of my HDMI, USB, Firewire and other cables from TriangleCables.com. A few years ago a friend recommended them to me, and I've been buying my cables and other computer and electronic hardware from them ever since. They have so many products all at competitive prices. In addition, I've received only the best service from everyone I've ever spoken with. They have the most helpful customer service technicians who have helped me install many different types of cables and other hook ups.

I hope this helps make your decision easier.

How do I know what type of strings to put on my electric guitar?

guitar xl image



escapedmel


There are so many choices that I'm not sure which one to pick. Plus, I don't know what type of strings are on my electric guitar currently. Help?


Answer
In many cases, you can go to the manufacturers website and find the "gauge" strings that came on the guitar. This is a good starting point. If you use the same gauge, you won't have to worry about making any adjustments. If you can't find the info, Light gauge with a high E string of .009 is probably a safe choice. The brand you choose is less important than the gauge....in fact, most people experiment with a few brands until they find one they like best.

I've been using D'Addario XL strings for longer than I can remember, but at this point, it's more out of habit than anything else. You can try Ernie Ball, Fender, or any other major brand.

This is regarding purchase of a Peavey guitar amplifier from the US.
I live in India. My brother in Wisconsin wants to buy and send me a Peavey Vyyr amp as a gift. But he is not sure about the shipping and customs, etc.

After the amp has been purchased by him from any guitar store, how should he ship it to India? Are there any restrictions on shipping guitar stuff outside the U.S.? Also the amp costs $130. So what will be the customs/ duty charge?



Answer
"Are there any restrictions on shipping guitar stuff outside the U.S.?"

Lol, no. It's not a restricted technology or information.

" how should he ship it to India?"
One of the International shipping companies like UPS, DHL, etc.

" But he is not sure about the shipping and customs, etc."
This can be tricky.
I did a quick search and found this
http://www.cbec.gov.in/cae1-english.htm


I could not get a direct calculator link, but "Percussion" instrument valued at $130 would be about $40 in taxes.

With shipping and customs, it's probably going to double the total cost.

what is the dfference between a thinline acoustic electric guitar (http://www.kraftmusic.com/yamaha-apx500ii-thinline-acoustic-electric-guitar-black-complete-guitar-bundle.html) and a normal acoustic electrib guitar (http://www.kraftmusic.com/takamine-eg341c-acoustic-electric-guitar-gloss-black-guitar-essentials-bundle.html)? :|


Answer
The difference is in how "thick" the body is. Thin line guitars tend to be thinner (thus the name) than a traditional guitar.

A thinline guitar will generally have a more shallow sound than a full sized guitar when played acoustically. When you plug them into an amplifier, you shouldn't notice any difference in the tone. Thinline guitars are also less prone to feedback.

K.S


I have an acoustic guitar (a Cutaway Dreadnought) and a lot of troubles tuning it. I don't want to spend money on buying a guitar tuner, so please send me a link to the best online guitar tuner you know.
Thanks



Answer
First off, everyone on here who says you can't tune online is an idiot, it's called tuning by ear, and it's not impossible and in fact it's not hard at all. I tune by ear to an online tuner all the time and it works just fine, if not better than my electric tuner.

Go to google, type in "guitar tuner" and click on the first link I think. In fact I'll show you the link: http://www.gieson.com/Library/projects/utilities/tuner/

It's fast, it's cheap, it's easy. All you do is hit the note and then strum the appropriate string on your guitar, then move the tuning peg up or down until the note you hear being played is matched with the note your guitar is playing. Trust me you're ear will be able to hear when it's right. When you've tuned like this you can then tune your guitar to itself just in case. If you don't know how to do that it's easy as well.

Put your finger on the Low E string on the fifth fret. Strum that and then strum the Fifth string open. If they sound alike, they're in tune, if they don't then you need to adjust the FIFTH string. Do the same for all the other strings, except for the third string. On the third string you put your finger on the fourth fret, strum the third string on the fourth fret and the second string open and if they sound alike they're in tune.

Now, getting an electric tuner IS a good idea, but it's simply not necessary.

Does anyone own an Ibanez S series guitar? If so, what are some of the positive, or negative aspects to it.


Answer
I don't own one but my friend does and I've played it a couple of times. I'm not a fan of Ibanez electrics but for some reason I like the S series models (the S470DXQM) in particular. I love the quilt maple and the fact that it weighs pretty little. It's thin in the right places but fat where it needs to be. The Zero Resistance bridge is pretty neat. The neck is flat and easy to play leads on. The pick ups are hot and perform well on loud amps (no feedback). The only complaint I have is that it's a hassle to change guitar strings, but that's another issue...

I know there are guitars with USB inputs in them, and I know there are amps with usb inputs, but is there an adapter for USB headphones, that will turn into a guitar amp jack?

If not I suppose I'll have to save money for amp headphones :\ but that would suck.



Answer
I have never, in my life, seen a guitar with ANY sort of input. Let alone a USB one.

Guitars have outputs. Sound comes OUT of them.

I've never seen an amp with a USB input either.

I take it that you have a pair of USB headphones that you would like to connect to the headphone OUT jack on your amp, which I assume is a 1/4" TRS jack.

The equipment you need to do this would easily cost more than a new pair of headphones. Do you REALLY not have a single pair of headphones that aren't USB? I really do find that hard to believe.

Go to RadioShack and ask for an 1/8" female to 1/4" male TRS adapter. It should look like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062468

If you really don't have another pair of headphones, buy these: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1440&bih=663&q=sony+headphones&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8211118125321107406&sa=X&ei=eDs7Tp7EM9HKiAL3hMHaCw&ved=0CH8Q5Q0wAg

Those are THE BEST headphones you can buy for under $25. They sound quite good, they are very durable, and they come with the aforementioned adapter.

Iker Casil


Hi. I am interested in getting an amplifier for my electro acoustic guitar. I want it to play soft relaxing music though, not rock. What is a good amplifier brand or something? My budget is about 100 bucks or less, I have seen some for 60 dollars but they specify electric guitar, I don't know if that is going to work well with an electro acoustic guitar... I mainly interested on something that is durable and reasonably cheap, any brand suggestions?


Answer
I doubt it very much that you can get something that cheap. Even doubling the price won't do much I'm afraid if you're after something with at least a bit of quality. That said, I think you can get some Behringer stuff for under $100 (very low output though and Behringer stuff is well ... not the best quality).

http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Acoustic-Guitar-Amps--2589

An amp for acoustic guitar is totally different from electric guitar. First the speakers are different since these are meant to be more full range, where an electric guitar is more focused in the mid frequencies.

For this you tend to have a full range speaker, or more than one speaker - often a treble unit and a lower end speaker combined.

Also, you typically have more inputs and outputs on an acoustic amp than an electric one. Different types of inputs also in addition to the standard 1/4 inch jack.

Furthermore, acoustic amps are designed to play clean even when the volume is turned up. This requires a better build quality and often better components.

If you intend to play live with the amp - the need for volume comes in. So you will either need a larger and better amp (the Behringer is a toy for live use), or a very good PA and monitor set-up in order to hear yourself properly.

If you plan to play for the seniors at their Sunday coffee, you can do that without any amp at all. But add other musicians (drums and electric guitars in particular), plus an audience with a bit of volume and a regular stage and you are talking about major headaches for acoustic amplification.
