    What guitarists most influenced you?

    Les Andrew

    Who? I hear you say...

    My next door neighbour. When I was 15, he let me borrow his classical guitar while he buggered off to college. It was the worst pile of wood you could ever imagine! The body was split right the way around in a spiral, so the whole thing would have a bellows effect. The strings were about an inch away from the fretboard, so playing a bar chord was virtually impossible, and the strings were so old and dull it was like listening to a cow pat! Plus I'm pretty sure the G string had broken at one time and been tied in a knot!

    I loved it!!!!

    LES ANDREW. The biggest influence on me...

    :D

    I wonder if the old addage "You get what you pay for!" applies here? In my case, that was not the case. I bought an MAudio Delta 66 soundcard. (It came with Gigastudio, thus the question about samplers!) Unfortunately, this card didn't work with my VIA chipset, sounded like bacon frying. Another 2 months wasted... Now I have a Yamaha sw1000xg and a SB Audigy. I have to say I cant hear much difference between these two cards, but I have listened to a Delta 66 on another puter, and it sounded superb!

    Neat little trick!

    I've just discovered a neat little trick!

    I was strumming away on my accoustic guitar, trying to get a half decent recording but failing miserably. So I picked up the Les Paul, and played that D.I. whilst recording the sound of the plec on the strings with the mic. I'm very pleased with the result and I daresay my next 20 songs will be recorded in this way until I grow tired of it!  ;D  ;D  ;D

    Thats some serious sh*t going on over there, Im just listening to the news here. Is it really weather related? And can we get a good sample from it.....  ;D  ;D

    Thanks Bongstuff..

    OK whats the best way to record a guitar?

    I have my Les Paul plugged into the Boss GT5, direct into the soundcard. And Im not very happy with it! I cant seem to to get any oomphhh! out of it. If I use my old H.H amp, It's very noisy and hissy and and a real bugger for the neighbours at 11 Oclock at night. So what's the answer.? Is there another way?

    I'll post this here, because I need quick info.

    Hi Tom

    If your'e looking for budget gear take a look at some of the latsest Behringer desks. I use a Behronger Eurorack UB802. It's an ultra low noise, 8 input 2 buss mixer with premium mic preamp. Basicaly, it's a 4 channel mixer about the width of a computer case! Mine cost around £60 ($80) As it's just me and my guitar and mic going through it, I find it does a stonking job...... Now I just have to learn how to record and mix ...  ::)

    check it out yourself

    I haven't played a gig in a while. Missing it lots... ???

    Me neither! I still cant find anybody around who wants to play any original music! And I'm getting on a bit now at 47, almost past it...... ::).

    I think bass players that break strings must play with hack saws as plectrums....   ;D  ;D

    OK... For us guitar playing old farts out here who dont understand this stuff. What is a sampler? I remember going to my local music store way back and coming accross a keyboard that would record a 1 second sample of your voice or anything really! Then you could play it back on the keyboard. BUT... From what I can see now, samplers dont sample anymore! they just use samples. Is that right? or am I on the wrong track here?  ::)
