  1. Wife won't let me book the cruise (of course our border is still not fully open, hopefully soon)

    I've seen JB 11 times (met him 4x, yes I'm hooked) most times from 2 to 6th row only 2x from a balcony. 

    With 2nd to row 20 approaching $180cdn each and back balcony at $120cdn, its getting harder to convince the wife for me to go.

    Hoping for a Canadian date in 2023.

    I'm waiting to hear what Aug brings you

  2. hope you can stay safe there Fret.. Putin will probably try get back all the land that was once grabbed up by USSR.

    looks like JJ is the last one left (unless there is another Chinese plant) that we'll have access to.

    unless the USA/Canadian governments allows tubes out of Russia.. even if there is sanctions against them

    “The big Shuguang factory in China was forced to move… and the Jamona (JJ Electronic) factory in Slovakia that used to have lead times of one month, now has lead times of six months."

    some say that the Shuguang factory is closed.. they did provide 80% of the worlds tubes till 2019

     

  3. Most of the world's guitar amp tubes come from Russia 

    Better stock up quick as prices are going up, inventory running low.

    China is big ally to Russia hope they don't follow them

    Slovakia is next to Ukraine,  the other tube producing location. 

     

    Yikes, we all don't want to run Kemper's or Fractals 

  4. Not sure if I quite get the question. 

    If you have a 12 string guitar.

    Yes you can take the octave strings off, but you're going to need a full setup.

    Especially on the trussrod which is counter acting pull of 12 not 6, so lots of adjustments needed.

    Can you got from a 6 string to a 12 string, guitar body probably not designed to take the strength of 12 strings, after you get past the bridge and tuners required 

  5. I like how they compare Tube vs Solid State to try and cover "misconceptions " of loudness. 

    And they are the same

    Then the article goes on to say this farther down:

    A 50- to 90-watt solid-state amplifier is roughly comparable to a 15- to 20-watt tube amp, making it suitable for small gigs

     

    um sure then a tube watt = solid state watt..   that's why they tell you to get triple the power.

     

  6. @DavidMc DVD players are like $30 at Walmart.. and might as well get yourself a HDMI cable too.. 

    but if you have a computer with a DVD or Blueray player in it.  look into PavTube software.

    there are many ripping software's but I use it for 98% of what I need to rip into mp4

     

    I'd be great if Steve re-wrote the whole LMG series under the Guitar Gathering banner and expanded some of the sections as well.

    Steve's stuff would fit great under Truefire too.

    but alas we have a Legacy to follow.. 

     

  7. @Ice9 you missed the point

    put the guitar on 5, set the amp for tone and volume. 

    Then if you want over driven, turn the guitar to 10, don't have to fiddle around with the amp.

    You want to clean up, turn guitar back to 5ish

    If you have your guitar maxed out you can't get any louder than 10 on it which is were you started.

    You will only be able to go quieter 

    It's like driving your car with your foot to the floor can't go faster only slower

  8. 2 types of solos 

    Those that stay in one position and the ones we like hearing are the ones that "bridge" all 5 pentatonic patterns up the neck

    They say start a loop, take 1 note and get a rhythm going . Add only 1 or 2 notes over time and work with them

     

    Another approach is to play parts of each pentatonic pattern .

    But linking the pentatonics takes more time

  9. Why would you turn up your guitar volume all the way up and then adjust your amp volume and tone.

    You have no where to go on the guitar except down

    Turn your guitar volume and tone to 5.

    Then adjust the amp volume and tone. 

    Now you have somewhere to go with the guitar controls

  10. @kenneth F Barre is pretty common jump

    but you're in Session 10.. finger style.. that means holding chords a long time and trying to be clean with every string, which means you have to adjust your hand and fingers to make them clean

    all the while you're holding a chord.. which will fatigue a hand quickly,, so jumping to another chord like the F barre maybe slowed down

    if you're in session 10 .. then you've been playing barre chords from Session 7 onward.. so should be pretty familiar with them.. just the static holding of the chords in Session 10 to cause issues.

  11. Only Steve knows what "statue of limitations " there is to Legacy Learn and Master Guitar course. 

    Steve has not been in Legacy since around 2015-ish

    Steve of course created Guitar Gathering site for a his students to Gather and enjoy learning guitar together. 

    Legacy appears to be bailing on all the Learn and Master courses,  since there is no longer a support website for them, and is only off loading the quantity of stock of courses.

    But since he (Steve) hasn't "dusted" off the scripts and created an updated GG Master Guitar series would suggest there must be something. 

    Only Steve knows. 

    As for the disorganized or confusing lesson lists, well it's the way this forum sorts things.

    There are 3 unpaid volunteers that help moderate the forum and when personal time allows,  re-org the sections 

    But most are listed in sequence of how people post. New to old except if there is a subject "pinned" to the top
