Controlling Guitar Effects: Computers VS. Processors..

January 21st, 2008 ·

Guitar effects processors to me are nothing more than pieces of a computer spread out in an extremely inefficient manner. With the current VST (virtual studio technology) plugins available to computers it is only a matter of time before the only thing on the floor will be a controller with an expression pedal.

Stage Three Guitar Chords. Big Names, Easy To Learn

January 4th, 2008 ·

Stage three (3) chords. The names are a bit scary sounding. The “add9″ means that an extra note has been added to the basic chord and the “sus” stands for “suspended”. The actual way a chord is constructed is not important now. I don’t think it is important to cover the theory and construction behind [...]
