That pallet has room for 5 more necks so that you can be up with Bill Bailey.

@Archiguitarchi, it sounds to me that you would benefit from having an EQ pedal so that you can experiment more than you can with the Quilter's bass, mid and treble. The Behringer EQ700 is cheap, 7-band and covers up to 6.4kHz, so would be ideal.

Thank you, Steve and team.

I am sorry but high quality mp3 is an oxymoron as mp3 is a lossy format. You can, however, mitigate the situation by using software which allows you to chose how many kbps you want the mp3 to have, anywhere from 64 to 320 kbps. 256kbps stereo is probably going to be of high enough quality for home hi-fi systems. If you want to edit the audio at a future date then it would be better to avoid lossy formats and stick with AIFF, WAV (full quality, not compressed) or FLAC (full quality, compressed but not lossy). Audacity is free and up to the job. If you use an Apple computer then Music (previous known as iTunes) is also up to the job.

If it sounds good then it is a valid chord; music theory needs to find a way to describe it! Robben Ford and Larry Carlton are just two examples of players that choose nasty sounding chords in order to create tension and then, just as the audience wonders whether this is intentional or a mistake, they return to the normal scale, unaltered chords. It gets called tension and release and can be very effective. Robben Ford has a tendency to venture into odd notes during the 12th bar of a blues. Larry Carlton had a phase when he would play a phrase in a solo one semitone lower than would be correct, before returning to being in tune.

Yes! Can I comment on #1, add more chord tones? If all we do is contin ue adding chord tones we can end up with an incoherent mess. I prefer, when extending chords, to start omitting other notes. For example, the key note is the root. Unless your band has no other musicians, then the bassist or keyboard player will be playing the root, so we guitarists don't need to. The 3rd and 7th give the chord its colour, so dropping the 5th could leave you with as few as 2 notes to fill out the chord. When playing on my own I often use 1-3-7, 1-3-7-9 or 1-3-9 chords.

Wikipedia has a page on the Andalusian cadence, in case you are interested.

That reminds me of the old saying: I have my great-grandfather's axe - I replaced the handle twice and the head once and it is as still good as new. The PRS HB II is a great guitar to fall in love with.

Because of your background maybe you are subconsciously expecting to be able to get up to speed quicker than you are. Don't sweat it; don't rush it. You will get there.

It is a case of poetic licence. I thought it was called Blueberry Hill, which would be the name of the hill. It may have been the hill where you had a splendid view of blueberries in the valley below. When we were children we learned the rhyme: The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, whereas when you learn about weather you discover that the rain in any country falls mainly where there is higher pressure - mainly on the hills.

Background information about songs, songwriters or players are often quite interesting. Thank you for that, Triple-o.

Nice one, Randy. 12-string guitars open the door to a whole new palette of sounds. I hope you enjoy finding your sounds. I have a Faith 12-string and found the sound a bit brittle. Trying silk and steel strings gave mine a gorgeous sound. Be prepared to try different types of strings when yours need replacing to find what works best for you.

I don't use AI to play the guitar nor sing with the voice of someone else, so with zero experience of AI I also cannot help you. Sorry.
