| Question: Can you play .0105-.054 gauge strings on a guitar set up to play .012-.060 gauge strings? Posted: 05 Sep 2015 10:52 PM PDT Since you have an electric guitar, tuning UP to a drop D and getting (back) into a more common string gauge ('tens with a fat bottom), you may be OK, just have to try it, then adjust as needed. If you had to tweak the intonation for the '12s for the drop C (which I would expect - or at least I would have done), this may be need to be re-readjusted, again, hopefully not made complex by having a whammy bar...

When tuning a guitar it's normal to have to re-tune each string a few times especially with a guitar that's a lot out of tune. New strings are very unstable as the continue to stretch for some time. Really old strings don't stretch but they might not play in tune. Be aware also that sometimes a tuner can mike a "mistake" and identify a note incorrectly. Try not to let a tuner over-ride your ears. |
| Question: Should i learn only guitar to create original music? Posted: 05 Sep 2015 06:35 PM PDT If you have the time and dedication, of course it's great to know how to play multiple instruments. Some do - just off the top of my head, Lenny Kravitz plays all the parts on his recordings (then hires a band to play live), I believe Prince is also competent on multiple instruments. There's a trio of siblings from the UK, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, who jump from instrument to instrument each song. Nothing wrong with that. However, a lot of people fail to grasp that there's a difference between playing an instrument and composing for it. You can work out a melody on guitar, write it down on a piece of sheet music, and give it to a trumpet player to perform. Ditto for any instrument. You can hammer out a rhythm in your head and write it down for a drummer to play. Of course, that assumes that you have studied music theory and know how to read music notation yourself. If you haven't, get working. The other thing is that collaboration among musicians is a good thing. If you want complete control, of course, then you can act the part of singer-songwriter and hire musicians to play exactly what you tell them to. But for a process of writing, it's also possible to collaborate - you come in with a melody, a riff, a chord progression, and your bandmates listen to it and start jamming, coming up with their own parts to go with it. Instead of you being the boss that hires them, you now have them as partners. In that case you lose exclusive control - including financially and legally, you are now a co-owner of the song with your collaborators - but it means you benefit from lots of people's ideas, not just your own. |
| Question: Question about Native American flutes...? Posted: 05 Sep 2015 04:16 PM PDT Flutes can water out. This depends on temp and humidity, and your own breath. (don't drink anything before or during playing) You can mitigate this somewhat by periodically flicking the flute down (hold onto the block tightly so it doesn't come off) in a fast motion to get some of the moisture out. If you notice your flute watering out, just let it rest and dry a little. You can also take off your block and use a q tip to swab it out a little. Most flute players I know have several flutes so we can switch out . I have 3. I know some pro players who have a dozen or more. Who made your flute and what kind of wood is it? edit************No, you'll be fine. High Spirits makes very good flutes. ( I have one of their cedar red-tailed hawk flutes, myself) Nice quality, and a great choice, especially for a novice player. Just play until it waters out- on some days, that might only be 15 minutes, and then take off the block and let it dry out. You won't damage it. When it is dry, you can also apply a very light coat of mineral oil to it ( leave it on for a few minutes, then wipe it off) which will help protect it too. You can oil the inside as well, with a q tip. |
