Thanks Jerry.

Sleepwalk is my first attempt at a complete TAB. New to the PSG, my goal is to learn the fretboard quickly so I can use sheet music instead of TAB; I think writing TAB will help me in t ...

Large knuckle? Did you mean to say that? My picks (Newman JF and National NP1 and NP2) only go as far as the base of my cuticle - maybe a tad beyond - but nowhere near the knuckle. I'm new to PSG and ...

Hi Sherman,

I'm going to snoop around the Internet and Microsoft to see if anyone has fonts or symbols that can be plugged into Excel. I looked through Excel's symbols (Insert -> Symbols) but nothing ...

I just purchased an S-10DB and accessory pack from Carter. The pack contained the Goodrich pedal - for me, the L-120 to suit my height and seating position.

I think there are two ways to present a piece of music: the way the composer intended and wrote it (if that is know) and the way it sounds best to you, in your circumstance, on your instrument, with y ...

Sherman, what, if anything, have you tried to indicate time? I am new to TAB and when I see, e.g., a fret notation in the middle of a 4/4 measure I don't know if the note is a half-note or a quarter-n ...

Hey Gary, you ever have one of those DUH moments. I've DL'ed or printed tabs, often finding that they were rendered in 6-point font, far beyond the reach of my eye-to-music stand distance. Spent a bi ...

Billy,

I have not heard the PF-II which GL describes as a "full-bodied pickup." I like the highs of an E-66 and the lows of the 10-1, which is why I use the E-on. My guess is that the PF-II at 20 ohm ...
