Very valuable information here.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Great player, good info video though I never heard of the one before that your guitar can get too used to your usual strings, and you need to try different ones, that is if I took up what he said correctly.

I know I should take it as gospel coming from a player like him, but somehow I find it hard to believe unless there is some sort of scientific reason.

Ah that was fun, wonder what value Trigger would be to a collector.

I like the way the luthier at the end says when he plays it, sounds pretty good, ready to go on the road again.

Whatever about its sounds, I personally think its a ugly looking damaged guitar, don't think I could bear even to look at it every day, but then its Willie Neslon who plays and owns it and he likes it.

Maybe even goes to show that even the stars can get so attached to a particular guitar and think nothing else can feel so good in the hands or even sound as good.

I know that with my cheapie guitars it does take a while to feel totally comfortable playing them.

ditto.... most of that I already know and do.

Had not heard the theory about the guitar getting used to the strings. However, I think that is more about the player getting used to the sound of the strings on that guitar. Because yes, if you change strings to a different brand, they are made differently, different material blend, different factory, etc.... so there is definitely an audible tonal difference between some brands.

Personally, my brand since I have discovered them has been the EBSS strings. I've used them on my electrics and have had very little issue with tone or durability. And yes.... new ones sound better. After a month, they should be changed. if you are gigging regular, no more then 2 weeks on a set. I've tried Fender bullets and GHS and a few other brands and always came back to EBSS. The others tended to break too quickly or just didn't tune up and perform well. And like TE said, I've had people tell me EBSS are crap.

After a gig, I would always use a rag to wipe the strings down. I'd use a spritz of WD-40 on the rag, wrap it under the string, and run it up and down each string a few times to get the acidic sweat and grunge off the strings and coat them so they didn't start to rust.

Every two weeks minimum, I'd pull the strings off, and clean the guitar nicely. Fretboard wax, polish the chrome, and then restring with new strings. I'd do the tune up exactly like TE did except that I used a Con Strobe tuner to get on the correct pitch. During the gigs, I had the Conn running from the line out of the amp and I could fix and tweek as needed during the show, and even in the middle of a song. Fortunately, the combination of the EBSS strings and the Gibson guitar meant that it held tune extremely well in spite of the abuse it was receiving.

If you don't do the things in the video.... highly recommend that you start.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
