I recently bought an acoustic-electric alvarez. Since i changed the strings it hasn't sounded the same from when I first bought it. Does anyone know if their...
Yes, I am an American. I might know the tune if I heard it, but I don't recognize it by name. There is no way I know every song out there. I'm a rock / blues ...
I recently heard a sales guy in a music shop tell a customer that ther was no significant differnce in one make of strings to another. Reluctantly, whilst I...

Hi all, I own a Guild 12-string, and I am looking to improve my playing beyond what it is now (which is little more than a lick here and a lick there). Barring...
