+ some ..

tabs ok if its all you've got.. nothing beats befriending a better player, locking them in a small room and making them show you stuff over and over and over. Im still toad though.

enough of your sex life matey i wish i had mates who could teach me. im self taught. and it bugs me. 17 yrs playing and only now onto Michael Angelo Batio and Chris Impellitteri.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Tabs is also good if you've never ever got the hang of notation. (For whatever reason, I can't read notation )

The way I started learning (and pretty much continued) was simply to put my favourite songs on, and stand by the player, rewinding to the start of various sections of song and playing along with them until I nailed it.

That does require not being tone-deaf, mind.

i started to learn proper notation then went back to tab lol

best way is by ear, not that i can do it!

i've got a Marshall AVT 150w amp up for sale at the moment if anyones intrested

lol i just sold me mesa/boogie head too. dunno if i would go back to marshall tho. never liked the sound.

i've always liked mine for what i used it for, im not able to take it with me tho

Only wish it had a proper valve it always sounds processed insted of raw like a proper valve amp.

there are only 3 choices of amps. Marshall,fender or vox. everything else are clones.

oh dear. oh dear oh dear. oh dear oh dear oh dear.


i played em all and can say that marshall is not the amp people think it is. Hughes and Kettner are nice, but then again boutique amps usually are.marshall just isnt that good anymore.

tbh the best amp i've played though (cost V performace) is a orange amp.

Plus they look funky as.

haha.
i doubt you have,mesa's are good, but they cloned marshalls early mv boards. not many people have access to the real classic amps unfortunatley.
if you get the chance to try a real marshall/vox/fender, you will understand. Im not being a prick, i have been lucky enough to use a few of the best amps ever made.
btw, hughes and kettner are mass produced amps, not boutique as you say.
I agree marshall are not the same anymore.. its just not cost effective to make them like they used too, and i dont think they have the skilled labour to make them, or skilled enough to make good valves

ok. you can doubt but i have. i worked in the trade for years and my mates own their drum/guitar shop for many years and i have had access to an absolute huge amount of amps.

you will never see a good marshall/vox/fender in 99% of music shops, especially in the last 10 years. they change hands to people aware of there whereabouts for lots of money as im sure you are aware.
Like i said, i was'nt being a prick, i love amps and guitars..altho i am no more than a bedroom guitarist myself aswell now.
If youre ever up this way, i promise you, i have a 68 marshall that will convert you forever!

*mutters "all bloody guitar players mumble mumble bass is better anyway mumble Trace Elliot mumble best mumble"*

nice marshall amp but will it sound as good as my lads amp that clips on his belt and runs off a 9v battery? i'm talking vinyl quality sounds here.

PMSl. i had one of them. bloody awful they was. and oi, Jamz, the only reason bass players like it is cos there are ( usually ) only 4 strings. less for the unwashed to cope with

Heh, flamed.
