I know that you are not supposed to ask for things, but I am looking for a Japan-made Ibanez or USA-made Epiphone. I am looking for my son and he is really excited about this, he loves music. Do you have any links to craigs-list or ebay that are in good condition. I do not need an amplifier.

Please Reply with good and serious answers!?

You can ask for anything you like!

It would help though if we knew what kind of guitar your son is looking for. I don’t understand why the Yamaha must be of Japanese manufacture and the Epi U.S. made. I have two Japanese Epiphones and love them both. Haven’t met a Yamaha yet that I would purchase.

You already mentioned Craig’s List and eBay and you can certainly search for guitars there, but it would probably be a lot easier and safer to just visit some guitar shops that deal in used instruments.

Furthermore, your son should have a hand in choosing that guitar. In fact, unless you’re an expert player yourself, your son should have the final word. You cannot possibly know how his hands feel on a guitar, or what it feels like in his arms. In general, I avoid encouraging anyone to buy a musical instrument for another unless you give them a check or gift certificate and let them do the picking (no pun intended, but I’m not gonna fret about it).

I’d set a budget amount and get your son involved in the shopping and purchase. That way, it’s still your gift to your son, and it’s more likely he’ll be happier longer with this first guitar.

Best of luck!

I want to play bass, but I want see if I like it. Andy know where to buy a crappy acoustic bass/guitar for under $50. I don’t care how bad it is, just not broken so i can play it.

try craislist.com – u can pretty much find anything on there

i play with my fingers most the time but sometimes i will use a pick. but i notice people saying how real bass players use there fingers and dont use a pick. why do most people look down upon bass players who use picks?

Because "most people" are snobs…No, seriously, you should use whatever works for a particular song and gives you the sound and feel you’re looking for. Like you, I play with my fingers most of the time but I use a pick for harder rock tunes. And screw what other people think.

I’m going off to college and I’m selling my electric guitar for an acoustic.

I really want a smallish acoustic with a thin body, but I still want it to sound good. I also don’t want it to be too expensive since I’m not anticipating getting a ton of money from my electric. Any suggestions?

I always preferred Yamaha instruments, whether it be guitar, piano, or clarinet.

Although Yamaha guitars might be a little on the bigger side, the sound quality is definitely something to be admired. I guess you could say that they also can stand more abuse than some other brands of guitars.

For those of you who don’t understand what i mean when i say ‘arpeggio’, it simply a chord stretched out so that each note of the chord is played separately.

I hope this helps you guys who are in the pursuit of bass tapping. Nothing special just a cool little chord progression and tapping breakdown. If you get bored watch at 6.37 where i bring the speed and where the tapping really sounds like ‘tapping!’ kinda thing.

Me just messing around on the bass one night and decided to do this quick lesson in response to some of the demand i’ve had.

Not really a lesson as such, but an explanation of some neat tricks i use when tapping. The licks i play here sound a lot harder than they actually are.

Tapping isnt something to be abused, it is merely a stylistic technique to be used in appropriation in music.

What’s the Best online shop for buying "Ibanez" Style guitars

IN THE UK

ibanez.com. or musiciansfriend.com. or guitarcenter.com. looking into diverse catalogs on musiciansfriend.com will give you a pretty good idea of other manufacturers styles and sounds similar to an ibanez. u.s. companies, but ibanez should be able to find you a dealer, or at least one willing to ship to the uk. both of the others do.
