For the guitarists try this tuning. It sounds very...nice and orchestral. Put a capo on the third fret, and tune like so. 6th string - E flat 5th string - B flat 4th string - F 3rd string - B flat 2nd string - D 1st string - F So it comes out as as chords/notes in the B flat, E flat, and F key. Sorry, this is hard to explain with text, but the chords I mostly use are like this. 0 = open, 1 = first fret, 2 = second fret ect ect. E flat chord = ----0------- ----1------- ----0------- ----2------- ----0------- ----0------- B flat chord = ---x-------- (top string not hit) ---0------- ---0------- ---2------- (lift off and on ect) ---3------- (sometimes played with, some times not) ---0------- F chord = ---2------- ---2------- ---0------- ---2------- ---3------- ---0------- This is a tuning Bruce Springsteen used/uses for many songs on his current tour for Devils & Dust, I believe since your guitarists you can figure the chords out, just play around with it, it's alot of fun  Open string tunings can be great. This is my favorite tuning, it sounds very meaningful to me, especially with some of my favorite songs  _______________ Free Tibet!

I play jazz. Everything and anything associated with it. <plug>Tune into my Jazz Show on JA Radio!</plug> Name an instrument associated with jazz (EXCEPT guitar) and there's a strong chance I've performed successfully on it before. I'm playing mostly acoustic bass right now (my 8th year at it), trying to get my 2nd and 3rd fingers toughened up like the main one. Giving bass lessons to junior-high kids is an excellent income supplement, too. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

Quote: Oh and Eica, did you mean that someone should invent a doubleneck with one neck a guitar and one a bass? Sorry to spoil your invention but those have been around for a long time. At least Ibanez had one in stock 6-7 years back, and I'm sure if you dig around a vintage collection you'll find lots of them. If you meant a doubleneck bass guitar, those have been around long too (just watch Spinal Tap and you'll know what I mean ). -Simo Yeah I meant the first one _______________ Former padawan of RoseRed |

I've played guitar for many years (10+) now, currently in two bands, one a sure main stream success some day, and the other a hip blues jam band. I also started giving guitar lessons last year, and they turned out to be a blast so I'm still doing it. I don't have any idols when it comes to style (or imitation), but I do get major kicks out of old blues farts like Robert Johnson, Son House, Freddie King, Muddy Waters etc. Django Rheinhardt is also a personal favourite, though not in the blues section. From jazz guitarists my favourite pick is (Django and) Charlie Christian. From later players people like Duane Allman (Allman Bros.), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin, in the studio, NOT live), Eric Clapton (Bluesbreaker and Cream years), Steve Howe (YES), Robert Fripp (King Crimson, early stuff only), Paco DeLucia (amazing flamenco guitarist), John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), B.B. King (the early stuff, shouldn't really be here but in the "old farts" category), Lowell George (Little Feat), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd's psychedelia years), and many more, including some Finnish names that you most probably won't recognise but of whom some could play each and everyone previously mentioned off this planet. I own a Gibson SG Custom '72, Fender American Ash Telecaster '04, Fender standard Stratocast (USA) 1973, Gibson Les Paul Goldtop '69 (modded with Bigsby tailpeace), Ibanez AK85 jazz guitar, Ibanez Artist 1980 (a beauty). Acoustics include: Gibson Hummingbird, Dobro (Hound Dog), Ibanez AW1500, Landola 12-string from the 70s, and a beautiful Alvarez MD95. I currently have two amplifiers, an acoustic/monitor Marshall AS50R (for solo gigs), and my ever trustworthy Peavey Classic 30 (just about the best all-tube amp out there, this one is outfitted with Mesa tubes and a brand new speaker element, just the hum will melt your heart). I also have quite a lot of guitar effects, most of which are needless to list here, but some jewels include Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-808 (the original), Ibanez Tube King (tube-amplified overdrive), Ibanez acoustic delay (an old one, maybe from the 70s), Dunlop Crybaby classic wah, etc. Needless to say, I've spent (and will spend) a LOT of money on guitars, but I consider it to be a collecting hobby, just as good as say collecting panties from French waitresses.
