    Making an Amp Stand

    Hearing yourself clearly...

    By Dano

    The problem... Probably every guitar player knows the problem, especially on jam sessions or on jobs with non- professinal musicians: You are standing on a small stage or in your practicing room, the band plays well and as loud as they can, the mood and the feeling of the song reaches heavenly highs. The volume knob of your electric guitar is already on "10" and the pedal of your volume pedal is pushed to its maximum already.

    The Shaggs Avalon Guitar

    Meet The SHAGGS

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    The Shaggs. Now there was a band that was baad! No, I'm not talking street slang where you're supposed to flip over the meaning. They were bad. There may never have been a recorded rock band that was worse. Couldn't sing, couldn't play, the songs were awful, and they were terribly produced. There's a CD of their two albums. Check them out for yourself. BAD! In fact, the only GOOD thing that came out of the Shaggs was a legendary guitar and bass, the Avalon "Shaggs" models!

    METRIC on Tour this month

    Kirk Lorang - Bass Note Savvy

    Kirk Lorang - Bass Note Savvy

    HOME Bass Note Savvy As a guitarist who has always played with my fingers, as opposed to picks, I have always been very interested in bass notes. My right-hand thumb is always free to go looking for bottom end notes, and I'd like to pass on some of what I know. We all associate bass notes with root notes. It certainly makes sense to play, for example, an E note as the bass note of an E chord, or a D note as the bass note of a D chord -- after all, that's the note which names the chord. But what about the other notes that make up a chord?
