fingers squeaking strings

<t>String squeak is driving me crazy! Just started learning a couple Foo Fighters songs - sliding power chords on the acoustic. <br/> Not an issue on the electric as I like the overdrive channel.<br/> <br/> I've not really had a problem before, but in the last few days it has become constant.<br/> F...

TG on the TV - use ipad or PC??

<t>I would like to feed TG into my big screen TV, then I could get my kids going on some beginner lessons.<br/> I have considered an ipad. However, when I was in BB the other day looking at ipads, I could not get TG to run on the ipad.<br/> The BB 'geek' could not find an app online and was unable t...

Re: trouble with strings - what's the diff?

<t>Thank you Dennis. Helped me remember, I do have 80/20's on a Martin - that has my favorite sound.<br/> I do not like the PB's that I just put on my Taylor this afternoon, they are noticeably stiff with quite a bit of raspy finger sound, really amplifies the string sliding.<br/> I'm going to order...

trouble with strings - what's the diff?

<t>I'm looking at several packages of strings. I've always liked the Martin SP strings, but here I'm looking at packages of both phosphour bronze and 80/20 bronze.<br/> I'd like to change strings on a Taylor 114 and like Elixir strings on it, but I have a set of 80/20 extra light.<br/> How do I keep...

Re: digital recorder vs USB microphone

Thanks to all for the advice. I was really considering the Blue microphones Yeti, but now I see that a Tascam digital recorder is likely the best option.

digital recorder vs USB microphone

<t>I need a bit of advice. Christmas is approaching. <br/> I have a 14 yr old daughter who loves to sing and is just beginning to get a few chords down on the guitar. I'm sure she would enjoy recording herself singing and playing, she is trying to write her own songs. I would like to get her either ...
