  • Learning To Play Bass Guitar

    Playing the bass guitar can actually be quite fulfilling. I know a few bass players, and they love what they do. I have met a few that felt they were unappreciated and that wished they had chosen something else, but those are generally the rare exception. If you love music, but don’t think you are a really great guitar player, you could pick up the bass guitar rather easily, and you may find that you like it even more than the electric or lead guitar.

  • Best Way To Change Strings on Your Steel Guitar

    I'd like to share my thoughts about steel guitars and string changing. I've found over the years that If you play your guitar (It doesn't matter what brand) 1 hour a day you should change your strings between 10 to 14 days. If you play more often than that you should change every week. If you didn't play a note on your guitar for three weeks you'd still need to change them. Just tuning to 440 and doing nothing stretches the life and flexibility out of the strings after a few weeks.

    The major scale (or Ionian mode) is a scale that was derived from the C note on a piano, it is all the white keys across the octave from C to C, these being C, D, E, F, G,A ,B , C. This scale is said to be natural, as it contains no sharps or flats.

  • Use C Scale Tuning for the Pedal Steel Guitar

    The pedal steel guitar tunings currently in common use hinder the acceptance of the instrument in musical forms other than American "Country" music. The addition of pedals greatly extends the capabilities of a steel guitar. Just as the logical extension of a chordal tuning is to give the player more chords at every fret, a scale tuning can be logically extended to give the player more scales at every fret.
