Guitars

Actually not as simple as "taking them off and putting on new ones".

When replacing strings on any instrument, you want to do them one at a time. So, for example, on a guitar, I start with the low E string (low meaning tone, not position). Remove it by unwinding it until it's loose (never just cut strings) and then replacing it. Then move to the next and so on.

The reason why we do this is because there is a balance between the string tension and the neck tension. If you remove all of that string tension at once, it can "mess with" the natural memory of the wood and metal truss rod that make up the neck.

In order to actually change the strings you need to take the new string and hook it into the bridge (there should be a small lump whick hooks in.

The take the other end and poke it through a small hole which should be in the bolt on the machinehead- leaving about 5/6 inches on the other side. This is the fiddly bit so you might need to try this next bit a couple of times.

OK- so pull both helves of the string against the bolt so they bend and stay in place. Then start turning the machine head (you can do it in either direction- just ensure you turn them all the same way). Whilst doing this you need to keep pulling on the end which is atched to the bridge in order to keep the tnsion and get it wound nice and tight. Keep turning- this may take a while until it is fairly close to the right tension.

Something I would advise is running your finger under the string when it's nearly tight enough which stretches the string slightly so the guitar won't fall out of tune so often affter changing.

Repeat with all the other strings until VOILA! you have a newly strung guitar.

The inside of the cello is hollow. There is a sound posts (wooden dowel) that presses against the treble side of the front and back of the cello, to help with the sound. There is a bar that is glued to the top which strengthens the bass side. There are 2-6 blocks, one to support the neck, one for the endpin and 4 for the corners on most instruments.

Yes. Classical guitar is played from standard notation (G clef) with added information for fingering and articulations.

Tablature is an older notation that many guitarists find easier to read, but it lacks fingering and dynamics.

Chords are accurately represented in either notation.

You could get a cheap jack adapter from an electronics store like radio shack, and plug directly into your computer via the line-in or microphone (louder) jack. This would be converting stereo grade sound to mono, so sound quality would be lost; also being that an amplifier's sound processing is tailored for guitar, whereas the computer's is not. Unless you have a preamp to run your guitar to, then run your preamp to your computer, there will be sound quality loss, and possible fluctuation in volume levels, but if you just want to jam out, it works. The cool thing is, you can get some sound effect programs from the internet for free that can simulate guitar pedals.

Most microphones plug into a PA system which typically consists of a preamp, a mixer, a power amp main speakers and monitors although not all components are needed and often other components such as effects processors and noise gates are added.

From a online company. The only one I believe that's shipping there is Music123.com.

6 string Seagulls are around the $350 range, 12 strings around $450 and up. Great guitar for the price.

Try and find a used instrument shop around your area that deals in used band equipment, and hit them up at the end of the month. That's the best time because bands that fold up sell their equipment then to get money for rent and other stuff they have to live on.

im pretty sure you are talking about a spanish guitar, which is closely related to the classical guitar.

what kind of dumb question is that. millions

Most have 6strings,some have7,and some have 8,but that's rare.

[I think the X series]

Viper-2 says: Actually, it is only SOME of the X series. My 2 D12X1's are made in Nazareth, PA. Check the inside of the soundhole on the X series and you will see where it is made. I have played both, and both are great sounding guitars no matter where they are made.

You can but the size of you guitar amp and its speaker will affect the sound.

If you have a larger speaker in your guitar amp you'll probably be able to produce more of the frequencies of the bass guitar that a proper bass amp would.

Electric bass guitars produce a louder sound than electric guitars so be careful not to blow your amp. Turn the volume output down on the bass guitar.

I don't know for sure but I imagine if you don't use care you could probably damage a valve guitar amp by playing a bass too loudly through it.

The strings vibrate to make the sound.

The s stand for solid top. so yes it is a solid top.

If you have a Guitar Hero guitar, you have to play multiplayer. For the first Rock Band, you can't play bass on Solo Tour mode, but it allows you to on every other one. You use the guitar controller normally and, right before playing a song, it will ask you which of the two (guitar or bass) you would like to play. Select bass and it will have you play bass notes.

On Rock Band 2, you do the same thing. This version allows you to play bass on every mode.

I have a Tanglewood TW170-AS-CE and its beautiful would cost around £269 (bp) so its way in your price range. Ive recently bought a Simon & patric for £599 it sounded good in the shop but when i got it home and compared it it was nowhere near as good as the tanglewood so i sold it after just buying it.

or you can buy Canadian,a Norman or seagull are great guitars for the money

Tightening the strings on a guitar will always make the pitch higher, more or less depending on how much they are tightened.

Yes, yes you can. If you couldn't tune it like a regular guitar they probably wouldn't of put tuner pegs on the tuners.

Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic = 256 Hz

2nd harmonic = 1st overtone = 512 Hz

3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone = 768 Hz.

Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental

Frequency".

Yes it is called drop tuning. Drop tuning is used to play lower notes than you could normally play in standard tuning.

Tennis has a long history (deriving from the 'jeu de paume'), but its establishment as the modern sport can be dated to two separate roots. In 1859 Major Thomas Henry Gem, a solicitor, and his friend Batista Pereira, a Spanish merchant, who both lived in Birmingham, England played a game they named "pelota", after a Spanish ball game. The game was played on a lawn in Edgbaston. In 1872 both men moved to Leamington Spa, and with two doctors from the Warneford Hospital, played pelota on the lawn behind the Manor House Hotel (now residential apartments). Pereira joined with Dr. Frederick Haynes and Dr. A. Wellesley Tomkins to found the first lawn tennis club in the world, and played the game on nearby lawns. In 1874 they formed the Leamington Tennis Club, setting out the original rules of the game. The Courier of 23 July 1884 recorded one of the first tennis tournaments, held in the grounds of Shrubland Hall (demolished 1948). In December 1873, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield devised a similar game for the amusement of his guests at a garden party on his estate at Nantclwyd, Wales. He based the game on the older sport of indoor tennis or real tennis ("royal tennis"), which had been invented in 12th century France and was played by French aristocrats down to the time of the French Revolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis#History

You can't, really. Music is the progression and contrast of different sounds and the way they affect your ear. If you only play one chord, there's not contrast or progression. Listen to the last few minutes of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. They jam on one chord endlessly and it's f**king boring.

- You can't play music using single guitar chord but u can play music using single string (!). For example here 1-string.com you can learn how to play many songs on one string.

Changing notes is done by the playing of it via the fretboard. The frequency is based on the pickups and often guitars with several types have a switch to change the different ranges. Also plucking the strings closer and further away from the bridge while playing certain notes will result in high resonance and can be used to create commonly used effects such as a "squeal".
