I put super light strings on my Strat - How do they sound?
7 gauge strings are about the lightest gauge you can put on your guitar and I wanted to see what they played like.
We all know that Billy Gibbons out of ZZ Top uses 7 gauge strings and that he got the idea from BB King but what is it like to play super light strings?
Well I put a set of Ernie Ball Zippy Slinky strings on my Fender Player Strat to find out.

Harley Benton G212 Cab - is it worth the hype?
Просмотров 99916 часов назад
The Harley Benton G212 amplifier cab has been in the news for a while now. When someone says there's a cab with 2 x Celestion V30 speakers and it costs less than £250, it's hard to believe. I needed a new cab for an amp I had just bought so I ordered one and here's my thoughts on it. I bought the cab from Thomanns and paid for it myself. This is not a sponsored video.

    One thing I like about a good old Strat. It can fall down a flight of stairs and still remain in tune. Granted with the 70's 3 bolt "microtune" neck you would have to give it a whack now and again to beat the neck straight... and then it would be back in tune.

    For myself picking a favorite album would be as difficult as picking a favorite song. At any given time any of them can be a favorite. Heck I could not even pick a favorite Beatle. What I can say is IMO Abbey Road really captured all of them at their best as far as studio performance but even with a gun to my head I would be shot before picking a fav.

    I use one of HB's vertical vintage 30 cabs under my Marshall DSL20. I think it's a killer little cab for home and studio use. I wouldn't try touring with one since the construction is more medium duty rather than heavy duty. But I can honestly recommend these cabs for any budget minded player. Tone wise, it sounds like any other modern V30 loaded cab. So you know what you are getting. Nearly all modern V30 cabs are loaded with Asian production speakers regardless of brand or price point.

    A cab being very heavy isn't necessarily a good thing as a quality material like real pine or baltic birch plywood is considerably lighter than cheap stuff like MDF and particle board. V30s are made in Vietnam not China and as Harley Benton guitars are also made in Vietnam I would imagine this cab is made there as well. Basically a couple of V30s would cost about as much as this cab loaded so it seems a pretty good deal.

    "Can you learn guitar from watching RUclips videos?" Absolutely. But in most cases you (especially if you're a true novias) don't need the high dollar gear they use and play. And infer you need to make progress. And sometimes really they push their favorite brands on you. Just find a playable guitar watch, listen and learn. C'mon folks ? If Django Reinhardt can play with 2 useable fingers on his noting/chording hand? You can play too; There's all kinds of ways to skin that cat, Before Jeff Healey or Larkin Poe; there was Thumbs Carllile (not for slide) who laid the guitar in front and played with all fingers and both thumbs. Richie Havens played with only his index finger, Jimmy (honeycomb) Rogers played with only his thumb. And the list goes on. There's always a way if you want it. You can get it .. you just have to want to. Just Say'n.

    I learnt (and continue to learn) using a mixture of the things mentioned. Im not too old to have had the internet be a major influence when i started howrver RUclips instruction being common was a few years away. My older brother had friend who gave me some tabs which his mum, who worked at the university, printed out for me - i was a student who couldn't afford the printing fees - it would eaten into my beer money! I will say however that Kurt Cobain (who was unfortunately dead by then) was a big influence on me, so i will politely disagree that you about him being a musician! Ive been fortunate enough to have paid for some lessons from some great teachers which has really helped me put stuff into context. But the biggest and best advice i can give anyone to to play with other musicians - guitarists, drummers, bass players, singers, even bloody flugelhornists - whoever - you'll learn the most about playing by playing with others.

    While heavy string sets certainly have their place they don't necessarily mean your tone will be better or that you are a better guitarist because you are a manly man simply because you have the strength to play them. I played GHS 11-52 on 24 3/4 scale guitars for ages because I've always been a bit of a hard hitter and mostly a rhythm player attacking the strings with a lot of force (not necessarily always a good thing). Eventually I moved up to 12-52 and even finally experimented with 13-56 and a wound G because I wanted to understand what guitar players back in the "old days" used. In the last few years I have learned that before there were light gauge strings many of the great players had the secret of swapping a banjo string for the high E and moving all the others up a position and ditching the low E, essentially making a lighter gauge set than was available to purchase at the time even before Erine Ball started offering light sets in 1962. This info along with me starting to get interested in doing more than just slamming chords got me to realize that 11 gauge can be a bit difficult to do bends on even with 24 3/4 Gibson scale so as I was wanting to do more than just play rhythm I gave a try to the Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom 10-52 set and I'm finding it to be a very good compromise between being able to do fairly heavy handed rhythm playing and still being able to do bends fairly well. Use whatever strings work best for the kind of playing you are after and what personally works for you. Heavier gauges can make sense if you tend to have a very strong pick attack and don't bend much but lighter gauges can offer much easier bending and less overall effort in playing the instrument. Also keep in mind that the scale length of your guitar affects string tension so 10's on a 24 3/4 scale guitar will feel similar to 9's on a 25 1/2 scale instrument and shorter scales (24" and 22") will be even easier to play to the point that some might want to use heavier strings so they are not so floppy or to simply go with that scale and enjoy the extreme ease of playing. One last thing I will mention is downtuning. Obviously if you down tune your string tension is less making playing and bends much easier. Stevie Ray Vaughn who is known for playing very heavy strings but the story often is missing the fact that he played in E flat standard which obviously changes things quite a bit. Definitely give a shot to playing in E flat or even D standard as it can give you a different sound and outlook to your playing. I recently realized that many twelve string players tune to E flat or D and that has given me a whole new outlook on my crappy Mitchell twelve string that is so difficult to play in E standard but even on electric lower tuning can be very cool for all kinds of guitar styles of playing. Hope this mini novel of my journey informs or inspires somebody !!!!!

    More or less how I learned. I did already know how to read music, though I never really used it for guitar much until a little bit just recently. RUclips is a great resource, but without guidance you might learn higgledy-piggledy and have large sections of "basics" missing. People act fearful around the term "theory" like it's rocket surgery or something, but there's a lot of use you can get out of it if you look at it more like "standard structures in western music" instead of chemical formulae. Learn the construction of the major scale, the four chord types and their extensions and how the chords fit diatonically in a key. Then get the basic Barry Harris ideas about functional harmony and you'll be light years ahead of 99.9999% of guitarists. That whole deal should take a few minutes worth a day for a couple months. You can certainly go way past that, but it's hardly worth it for someone not dedicated to a full jazz education. Beyond that a quick bit of study in species counterpoint and learning 12 tone non-diatonic harmony, negative harmony etc. are things I use personally but probably won't ever be needed by most folks.
