The marriage of the electric guitar and electric bass has
always been an integral part of the fabric that is rock and
roll. I believe that the model and subsequent sound of the
bass of choice for a group is actually more important then the
guitar and its sound. Case in point could you picture James
Jameson playing an Alembic bass, or Chris Squire playing an
EB0? Me neither.

If you're old enough and like whacky guitars, like me, you
probably remember the great Guitar Player "Off the Wall"
columns by Teisco Del Rey, the nom de plume of journalist Dan
Forte. His was the first, and sometimes the only, story I'd
read for a long time. Dan was perhaps the first to celebrate
guitars whose names didn't begin with M, G, or F. Dan usually
worked the humor angle, but for those of us with an aesthetic
eye, the guitars he featured became Holy Grails. One of the
holiest of those was the 1968 Teisco May Queen guitar, a rare
red version of which you see here!

I'm writing this from Twentynine Palms, CA, where a few
years back, my wife Gayle and I bought a cabin to getaway
(very away) from it all. We spend our days hiking Joshua Tree
National Park, walking and driving around to and visiting the
hundreds of abandoned homesteader shacks, playing guitar and
singing on the porch, writing, reading and doing as much of
nothing as possible. It's a great place-still, at the relative
turn of this new century, something of a well- kept
secret.

The term Pedal Friendly is very trendy at the moment. What
does it mean? Are certain amps more palatable with pedals?
Stay tuned and we'll find out! Before we dive into this
month's topic, here's a disclaimer: I certainly am not a pedal
expert. The following discussion is based solely on my on
knowledge of tube amp design and the pedals I personally have
shoved in front of them. My plan is to analyze the technical
aspects of the 'pedal friendly' - or PF - phenomenon and see
what we can learn. Here goes!

The tuning and design of the guitar is such that some keys
and their related chords are much easier to get around than
others. I call these the "guitar-friendly" keys. Theyuse more
open chords than barre, and so are much easier to getflowing
musically than trying to track of and perform a series of
barre chords. The key with the least number of barre chords is
C, with F being the only non-open chord, so I guess it's the
easiest for a beginner

Hard to believe its been a year since my first Monthly
G.A.S. Attack. That means 12 new instruments have appeared in
my collection. Some still reside there and some have already
moved on to the G.A.S. Graveyard. Looking back it was a good
year for acquisitions with some great players, rare birds and
most importantly, a few steps outside my elitist collecting
box.

Many times it is necessary to acquire an over-all knowledge
and understanding of how to go about practicing guitar, as
opposed to just learning techniques, riffs, scales and modes.
All of these things are highly important of course but when
applied correctly, can make the ultimate difference in
progress. Progress is the ticket for many guitarists because
everyone, no matter what their passion is, strives for
personal growth.
