Hey guys,

I play a lot of guitar, as I am sure we all do. I do a lot of it in the house, sitting down. I have for years been trying to find the right kind of chair.

I don't want arms, but I do want to be able to lean back a little to push my back straight. Does anyone have a favourite seat, or kind of seat?

Morning everyone,

I have just started learning German. I have spent a few years absent mindedly learning some Spanish but having visited both countries I have to say I think Germany is more for me! Spain is a bit hot and a bit too relaxed!

I have been using a tape (mp3 I know, but I am old enough to remember tapes) to get my head around some of the very basics and trying to read at least one newspaper article a day too.

Does anyone speak any other languages on here? If so, what? And as a last and slightly odd question, do you think that learning to read and write music can help people when it comes to trying to learn another language?

Right, so I'm currently faffing about replacing bits and bobs in an old guitar. I once played an axe with a Fernandes Sustainer in it and was hooked. They're brutally expensive though and not totally sure they'll suit what I want to do with this guitar.

My question is, what other options do I have for something cool and a littler different to put in a pickup slot? I don't really mind what, just like to have some other ideas and I'm clearly either Googling the wrong words or nothing else exists!

Hi guys,

I reaching the stage with my teaching and my playing in general that I really feel like I'm lacking some knowledge that I should have gained by now. I have been having a look round for method books for electric guitar that would take my playing, theory and fretboard awareness to the next level.

There's seems to be no end of classical style books taking you way past the beginner stage but I'm not having any luck with an electric one.

Any suggestions? Preferably ones that won't break the bank!

Having recently found myself a very pretty if battered body in a skip, I am wondering what to do with it.

I have too many guitars already but something I have always wanted to have a try on is a baritone scale guitar. I play a lot of very low tuned stuff and it makes sense.

Two questions, firstly is it easy to just fit a baritone neck and go from there? The internet seems to think so but I would like to hear a few more "yes"s before diving in.

Secondly, how easy is building a neck? I am not a construction virgin, having built several bodies and one whole lute with my father, who, as a furniture maker has all the tools and a workspace I can use.

Necks are meant to be harder though, so my question is, how hard? Any tips?

Thanks

I use a Roland Micro Cube for most of my teaching work and it's finally died on me. I can't seem to find another one on the cheap (and I am cheap) and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for other, portable, versatile and hard wearing small amps?

Hi guys and girls,

My names Harry and I'm a guitar player/teacher from Glasgow up in sunny Scotland. I have tried other guitar forums in the past but never really got into them. I am hoping that being a part of this one from the start is going to keep my entertained!

I am selling one of my guitars! I would really like to get a Les Paul and to get a couple of bits of computer recording equipment and I can’t do either without selling something first. I’m selling this one because although it’s a cracking guitar I have never been able to get my head around playing with a floating trem system, especially not when playing live. For this very reason the guitar only has a couple of very minor cosmetic scratches.

For more information, pictures and to contact me, please have a look at this post on my website:
