  So glad you liked this one! This is an improvised take on "Nine pound hammer", and I don't have this written out or on any tutorial at the moment. It's a great fun piece to play though! Check out Thom Bresh's version of this song! :)

  So sorry for this incredibly late reply, your message got stuck in the queue and I just discovered it today.
  I'm so glad you liked my arrangement of "She's Always A Woman" !
  Unfortunately I don't have this particular song written out in TAB/notation. I hope that my instructional video (linked above) might be enough to learn most of it! Let me know if you ever have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them here on the forum!
  Kind regards/Emil

  Welcome to the site!
  Yes, reaching difficult chords/voicings can be tricky - but working a little bit on it every day will make your hands get used to the fretboard and you'll be able to reach easier and be more relaxed in your playing.
  Kind regards/Emil

  I am having trouble wiring my CRL 3-way switch because the fender diagram has the lug position sequence flip-flopped from my switch. On my drawing you see the top left lug for the neck yellow wire is on the outside of the ground lug on bottom. Do I flop the wiring to black, black, empty lug, yellow bridge to top and yellow neck, empty lug, black, black to the bottom.

  Hi,

  When you see gear for sale, especially pedals, with someone accepting "reasonable offers" how do you usually gauge that? People seem to oscillate from "not a dollar less" to "half price.

  Hello,
  I wonder if this is a lap or pedal steel guitar that the soloist plays?:
  On other records of this artist the soloist is posing with lap steel, so possibly it could be that. But I am not sure, I am totally a beginner in steel guitars.
  Sometimes the solo consist of simple melodic patterns lacking slides, like from 2:58 to 3:20
  Does the soloist play it on the steel guitar, too?
  If someone is an expert on these, could he guess the tuning?

  Thanks !

  I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

  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 there!

  I’m using two microphones, and usually it’s a couple of Neumann TLM 102.
  From there I go into a simple preamp/daw which is called steinberg UR44. I use an iMac with protools.
  When I record I have one mic around the 12th fret and one mic on the bridge.
  In any recording software program like protools or similar, you can pan the channels right and left - and I usually pan one mic around 35 to the left and 35 to the right.
  I do a simple eq mix where I usually cut a bit of bass and get rid of a couple of harsh frequencies in the upper midrange etc. maybe boost the highs a bit on the bridge mic.
  And I add reverb to both channels.
  Very simple recording process and I don’t do much at all really, just two mics and a bit of work with eq and then add reverb.
  Kind regards /Emil

  I have been playing the guitar for over 50 years and have been composing original guitar music for more than 40 of those years.

  You can hear my all-instrumental music at the following sites.

  [The same music is on both sites.]

  I also have a free lesson book online, "Instructions for Guitar", based on a course I taught in a junior college in the 90s. Lessons go from beginner to advanced, and include music theory and tablature, while the book also has numerous illustrations, chord-charts, scale-charts, and helpful diagrams, along with advice on how to reach a desired level of playing proficiency, up to and including virtuoso.

  @arman said in Need Help with ltd EC1000 PIEZO:

  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.

  The problem may be the mono cable or jack that you are using. Try using a different mono cable or jack and see if that helps. If not, it may be a problem with the wiring or circuitry of the guitar itself. You may need to take the guitar to a professional repair shop to have it looked at.

  About This Listing
  Larrivée Model L-03-12R Acoustic 12 String Guitar Description

  This acoustic 12 string guitar was made in Canada in 2003. This is a solid wood guitar featuring a maple bound solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back & sides, a mahogany neck and a maple bound ebony fingerboard. The 25.5” scale length neck joins the body at the 14th fret giving a comfortable amount of play room:16" Wide (lower Bout) and 41" in Length

  The neck profile is thinner than you may expect and the guitar plays incredibly fast for a 12-string with low action and very easy playability on a smooth ebony fingerboard with maple binding. The X-scalloped bracing helps project and resonates beautifully. The head stock overlay and bridge are both made of ebony with a Larrivée logo inlayed on the headstock and dot inlays on the ebony fingerboard.

  This is one of the best playing 12 string acoustic guitars that I have ever played. It looks, sounds and feels fantastic and comes with the original Larrivée hard shell case. This is a fantastic player’s guitar that is setup perfectly and ready to make some great music!

  Specifications:

  Make: Larrivée Model: L-03-12R Serial Number : 64519 Year of Manufacture : 2003 Country of Origin: Canada Finish: Satin Natural Condition : Mint Body Type: Acoustic Upper Bout: 11.625” Lower Bout: 16” Waist: 10.25” Body Depth: 4.75” Top: Sitka Spruce Back and sides Wood: Rosewood Bracing: X-Scalloped Neck : Mahogany Neck Joins Body: 14th Fret Headstock Overlay: Ebony Fingerboard : Ebony Body Binding: Maple Heel Cap: Maple Fingerboard Binding: Maple Inlays: Headstock Logo, Dot Fingerboard Inlays Rosette: Herringbone Top Purfling: Multi-Strip Frets: 20 Frets Scale Length: 25.5” Nut : Bone Nut Width: 1 7/8” Hardware: Chromium Tuning Machine : Silver Larrivée Tuners Bridge: Ebony Saddle: Bone Compensated Bridge Pins: Compensated With Dots Case : Original Larrivée Hardshell Case

  Hi Emil,

  just wanted to give a small suggestion concerning organizing your lessons. I think it would be great to have "latest" filter to zoom in on the newest lessons on your site.

  Have a great day.
