How do you lower the strings on a bass guitar?
A double bass has four strings, E,A,D, and G. It also has a bass clef, and is played by plucking or bowing the strings close to the bridge. Bass guitars usually have the same four strings, but can sometimes have five, or six strings, a low B and a high C.
Is a 12 string guitar harder to play than a 6 string guitar?
depends on what you play, a 12 is just like playing a 6 but you're more the less you're playing chords as the strings are grouped together giving it a louder sound. Its more difficult to say play solos on it. 7 on the other hand has a little bit of a wider neck which you get used to, people argue that a 7 strings top strings useless because its so low. But that doesn't mean you can't tune it higher like I do. my best advice other than trying it is to play a 6 string in low B tuning (with heavy gauge strings) and see if you like it. B isn't a good tuning unless you have very thick strings.
How many strings does a standard bass guitar has?
The Bass guitar only has 4 strings, but are thicker to create a deeper rhthym and beat. Improvement: Some bass guitars have more. like the war bass can have 11-12 i think but if your trying to find a good beginner bass id start with the four string one. A bass guitar generally has 4 strings, E A D and G, while there are other varieties. A Low B ( B E A D G ) 5 string is also widely available, to enhance the Bass-y sounds one may wish to play with, as well as six string varieties, with an expanded upper range, and which are extremely difficult to play due to the wide fretboard, are also available, however less commonly than other variants.
How to Choose Strings for your Stringed Instrument?
If you are relatively new to playing string instruments and you’ve realized that you need new strings, the strings that came on your new instrument hurt your fingers, or your teacher has suggested you replace the strings on your instrument, you’ve probably gotten a surprise when you’ve looked for replacement strings. There are so many different kinds! How do you choose between them?There isn’t an easy answer to this question, but there are some guidelines. Some string instruments only take a certain type of string. The best example of this is the classical guitar, which is the only type of guitar that uses nylon strings. But even then you’ll see that there are lots of different types of nylon strings: different gauges, different brands, etc.With string instruments, the type of string you choose depends on the type of music you play. For instance, most people who play classical music on the violin prefer synthetic strings, which sound sweet and brilliant, while those who play traditional fiddle music, which often requires crosstuning, will need a steel string which can stand up to the rigors of crosstuning, while also giving that more edgy traditional fiddle sound.Then there are the needs of the instrument. Simply put, some instruments resonate best with a certain type and gauge of string. If you play a new instrument, you might check and see which strings the manufacturer recommends. Instruments in the violin family are especially fussy about the type of strings they like, though guitars and mandolins can be somewhat finicky as well.The best way to find out which strings may be worth trying on your instrument is to ask other players who play the same instrument and type of music as you do which brand and gauge of strings they use. This will start to narrow your choices. Within that range, you may be able to further narrow down the choices by budget considerations. Trial and error will further narrow it down.You will know when you’ve found the right strings, your instrument will tell you loud and clear.

Can you use light guitar strings on an electric acoustic?
You shouldn't do this. They have different types of strings for a reason. But if you're still insistent upon trying it, make sure you have a professional guitar tech do this for you, because chances are, even if you use the exact same gauged strings, you will have to have your truss rod readjusted, which will cost more than buying strings that are made for an electric guitar.
How do you stop your cat from eating shoe strings?
The best, and possibly most effective thing to do, is to keep shoe strings out of reach of the cat. Most cats like to chew on string-like objects, especially if they're dangling from somewhere. Trying to stop a cat in any other way is unlikely to work, as a cat will likely just chew it when you are not around.
Can you put violin strings on a guitar?
Yes, if the gauges are similarly matched to a set of standard guitar strings made for that particular guitar. Violin strings are flatwound, so the tone would be more muted, nice for an archtop jazz guitar. Normal modern guitar strings are roundwound, making the tone brighter and more zingy.
What does a string tied around an index finger mean?
Well, basically 'Good Luck'. People tie strings to their index finger to represent luck, which is kind of like a religion. Username: Rubyrikki A string tied around the finger is indicating that you are trying to remember something.
How do you write a function that counts the number of characters in a string?
As this is probably a homework question, I will give you some pseudo code: [code] num_chars = 0 READ ch FROM string WHILE ch IS NOT END OF STRING num_chars = num_chars + 1 READ ch FROM string END WHILE [/code] Remember that in C, we use what are called "C-strings". C-strings are a pointer to a continuous group of characters in memory which are terminated by a null character. The null character is '\0', and has an integer value of 0. The C-string generally points to the first character in the string. To access the value of this character, you must use the dereferencing operator, *. If you want to move to the next character, you simply add 1 to the pointer. So if you have a C-string: char *str = "abcd"; then: *str '\0' Anything past the null character is undefined. Trying to access this data is considered to be a buffer overflow, and is very dangerous. Note that c-strings created as pointers should always be treated as immutable, as trying to change them might produce errors. Many compilers will allocate the above string inside the static data area, along with any constants or literals which can not fit inside the immediate field of an instruction. If you want a mutable string, then declare it as a character array: char str[] = "abcd"; This method of declaration will explicitly allocate memory on the stack to store the c string in, and as such, the string can be safely manipulated without fear of unintended side effects.
What does the classical guitar sound like?
A classical guitar IS an acoustic guitar. Now, if you are asking, "How can I make a classical guitar sound like a steel-string flattop guitar", the answer is: You can't. The only way you could approach that is to put steel strings on the classical guitar, and if you do that, you WILL, not "maybe", FOR SURE, destroy the guitar. In fact, the bridge may pop completely off the guitar while you are tuning up for the first time. If you want steel-string sound, get a steel-string acoustic. Please don't ruin a perfectly good classical trying to get that sound. This is 45 years of being a guitarist talking, here.
What is the difference between viola and violin bridge?
The bridge of a violin does the same thing as the bridges of most other stringed instruments, including the piano, guitar, uke, bass, harpsicord, crwd, etc. It raises the strings from the soundboard or resonating chamber, and it also transfers the vibrating energy of the string to the soundboard or resonating chamber. In the case of bowed instruments like the violin, it also places the strings along an arc (the upper edge of the bridge) so that they are not co-planar. If they were co-planar, you could never get the bow to make one string resonate while leaving the others untouched.
