Assuming the guitar is OK, and you need to build up barre chord strength, you could try something a guitar teacher had me do way back when: Make a barre across all six strings, with your thumb firmly planted in the back of the neck. Turn the guitar so the headstock is up and the body is down. Hold t...

I stumbled across my Morley Bad Horsie wah on craigslist and picked it up out of curiosity. My favorite thing about it is that it's turned on/off by an optical sensor, so engages just by rocking on the pedal (no need to stomp on/off). The drawback is that you can't leave it on in a fixed position wi...

FYI, if anyone's interested, this is on ebay now:

I can't stress enough the importance of documentation from one session to the next. As long as the artist you're recording is consistent, and you're using the same gear from session to session, the x-factors quickly become settings, placements, location in the room. Keeping records of these from ses...

Has anyone here used the soundcraft spirit M series yet? I absolutely love my Spirit M12 -- I use the spidf out (which sounds better than the 001 converters to my relatively uneducated ear) to record final mixes into PT, as well as as a clock source. Sweepable mids, very low noise, 12 decent mic pr...

Hi Folks, I'm letting go of some starter gear, in case anyone's looking to pick up some cheap tools to help get you off the ground: [SOLD] M-Audio 2496 PCI audio card -- $30 -- NOTE: no spidf/midi breakout cable (lost to the ages, but you can usually pick one up on ebay for under $20). You can downl...

...mostly because replacing them would be a major headache... 1. early-seventies silver-face Twin Reverb -- I've had it since I was 17, and my kids can fight over it when I'm gone :-) 2. 1999 PRS Hollowbody II 3. Ditto to whoever mentioned the older version Rat -- can't remember when I picked it up,...
