  @Aman-Paul-George
  Hi there!
  You are right! Tuning the guitar down a half step releases some tension and for some people it might feel a bit easier to play! The playability has very much to do with the setup of the guitar. How high the action is (strings far away or close to the fretboard), string gauge, angle of the neck (truss rod), playing style etc etc. What I suggest you to do is to try a much lighter string guage, to see if it feels ok to play even in standard tuning. Also, if you haven't already, get your guitar set up properly in terms of neck angle and action. The guitar should be easy enough to play in standard tuning. IF you feel like you still have to tune down a half step, and wants to play together with a backing track in E or something, and want to play using open strings etc, you could download a software that can change pitch for your backing track (for example the software "Transcribe!"), and tune down the pitch a half step. Then you can practice along to it. This obviously doesn't solve the issue when you're playing together with other musicians You'd have to be in the same key as them, whatever they play Anyway, let me know if I can help with any further question! Kind regards/Emil

  So I am not satisfied user of gforce automatic tuners, so I decided to buy some grover tuners from one guy. He said that he replaced old heads with gibson heads, because he like them more than original. So my question is - are they fake?

  Hi,

  I wonder if there is anyone that have used MusicXml to create Tabulature for the Pedal Steel Guitar?
  The Pedal Steel has 10 string (at least) which can have any tuning
  (although there are some standards). This is the easy part and I have done this. the hard part is that the Pedal Steel guitar has a number of pedals that raises and lowers some of the strings when pushed, retuning the guitar
  The same pedal can raise one string and lower an other. and there is no limit to the number of strings affected by the pedal.
  The only thing I have seen about pedals are the piano pedal and Harp-pedal.
  Harp-pedal looks like it could be used, but I don't know how a Harp works so I don't know how the Harp-pedal works...
  Maybe someone has an sample that contains harp-pedal?

  Any help will be apprecited.

  Thank you.

  So- am semi-new to guitar building and completely new to the forum! My first kit was an SG-type 12/6 double neck. didn't come out great but not awful either and sounds ok. It has glued/epoxied in necks. Just recently acquired a strat kit. Of course it's got a bolt-in neck. Am a bit apprehensive to drill the 4 holes and twist in the screws- worrying if the neck might crack. It must happen now and then although I've never seen it. My other question IS- I haven't checked the frets and neck with a rocker or gauge yet but in the event the frets need leveling - is it fine to do that before drilling the neck fastening holes as long as the neck fits snugly in the pocket? Hope this wasn't confusing-

  cheers,
  bill

  Hi,
  I've got my ltd EC1000p several months ago and everything was working fine. but the other day when I plugged my guitar in JACK 1 with mono cable the magnetic pickup didn't work. when I use the mag/piezo selector only piezo pickup have sound. It means I don't have the blend of both magnetic and piezo or magnetic pickup right now. please help me with this. what could be the problem?

  it is good to know that when I use JACK 2 the magnetic pickups work fine and when I use a stereo cable in JACK 1, just piezo pick up have sound and nothing is coming out of magnetic pickups.

  I appreciate any help on this.
