Acoustic Electric Guitars

Gibson ES 339 – Semi Hollow Body Guitar

Gibson has produced a very unique guitar in the ES 339. It has many if not all of the same qualities as it’s larger bodied brothers… but is combined in a smaller package. When first playing it … you might feel that you are playing a Les Paul or 335, but it really kicks like a bigger 345 in more than one area. While this guitar may thrive in a Blues or Jazz band… it has many options that the (2) Humbucker Pick-ups provide.

Check out the Complete Line-up of the Gibson ES 339 Here!

Depending on whether you are using the Bridge or Neck pick-up to get your groove on… and what amp or effects you are using, it can vary widely in the type of sound it can produce. it can actually get very close to even emulating the fender telecaster with that maple neck, bright, country sound!

The Gibson ES 339 has a very bright high end with warm sustaining notes. You can enhance these qualities even more with a Fender Reverb Amp or a Marshall Amp to get that very unique sound that is very pleasant to listen to. The tuners are of course some of Gibson’s best… and they are truly painless.

The (4) Tone controls give you a wide range of options to choose from. When it is un-plugged it produces a clean crisp sound and it comes out more when powered up.

the Neck is Mahogany, Fret Board is Rosewood, and the color is sort of a vintage sunburst. This guitar is basically one of the most versatile instruments we have played in a long time.

the Gibson Model starts at $1999.00 but the Epiphone Gibson Model ES 339 starts at just $400.00. There are some big differences between the two, but if you are on a budget… we all know that Gibson’s Far East Models, (The Epiphone Line of Guitars)…are very carefully crafted as well!

Guitar Gifts – What is the best gift for the guitarist in your life?

What they really want may surprise you!

You may know someone who is an aspiring Guitarist, and his or her birthday is come up soon, or even as the Holidays are approaching you are considering the possibility of giving one of so many Guitar Gifts as the perfect gift for your favorite guitar player. The choices are endless… of course a new guitar, or guitar strap, or a new set of strings, are the most obvious, but not always the best choice.

Here is a great list of Guitar Gift Ideas for you to consider, and we will explore these choices for your guitarist in more detail.

New Electric or Acoustic Guitar Pick-ups - Some of the middle priced guitars may have good touch, and a neck with a smooth action, and overall have great potential for a real Keeper of a guitar. But… The Tone, and overall quality of sound they produce may simply sound weak. A new set of Humbuckers, Seymor Duncans, EMG, or Strat pick-ups, may be a good choice to breath new life into the sound of a guitar.

Effects Processors – Any Effects Processor Gear is a gift that all guitarists really enjoy using and performing with, and the right effects are extremely helpful when creating new riffs and sounds.

Amplifiers - If an Amplifier has been overloaded and abused… it’s circuits and speakers can become weak and eventually fried with so much playing. Asking the right questions will help you match a guitar with the right amplifier, and get your guitarist cranking out great quality music again.

Another great Guitar Gift is a complete tune-up with a Guitar Tech known as a “Luthier”. Guitar Techs or Luthiers can make critical adjustments to a Guitar that will also breath new life into a guitar, and improve the fret action as well. Whether it is and acoustic or electric guitar… this is one of the most overlooked pieces of the guitar musician’s formula for success! If your guitar is not what it used to be… This may be the right solution for you.
A Gift Certificate from Musician’s Friend is and obvious choice that let’s your Guitarist choose what they really need!

Guitar Cases & Protection – The last item on our list of Guitar Gifts is a Guitar Case. Protecting a guitar in a dry, and clean environment is also essential for the health of any guitar. The Guitarist in your life may need a Good Guitar Case for protection when traveling or storing when not in use. Also… don’t forget the guitar polish, or dehumidifier packs as well!

Just do some research and find out what may be the best of many Guitar Gifts choices for your Guitarist.

How to Take Care of your Guitar

Many amateur guitar players have often experienced a guitar that has lost it’s prime action, or developed string buzz, and other anomaly’s that they struggle with. This sometimes requires the adjustment of the truss rod in the neck and can result in permanent damage to the Rosewood fretboard. Here at The Guitar Store we have seen this quite often, and it isn’t pretty, especially when it’s a favorite guitar.

It is not the lack of guitar quality that is the problem in most cases. The majority of the time the culprit seems to point back to how we maintain our guitars before, and after we are using them. Proper storage temperatures, humidity, and other factors come in to play here.

This is what most Guitar Luthiers (Guitar Techs) agree on as measures and precautions for “Proper Care of a Guitar“:

1. Always keep it @ 50% humidity. Use a humidifier IN A GUITAR CASE, not in a room if possible. You can buy Excellent Guitar Humidifiers for less than $15 that go between the strings of the guitar. The guitar “drinks” only what it needs and saves the rest for later.

2. If the fretboard is made of Rosewood, (which 90% are), keep lemon oil on it every time you change the strings. Rosewood is very pourous and dries out quickly. Rosewood is an awesome “tone wood” but needs extra care. The bridge of most guitars is also usually rosewood.

guitar tuners2 How to Take Care of your Guitar

3. The Guitar Store recommends that you change the Guitar Strings about once every month. It is surprising how many people bring their guitars into a Luthier with the original strings on them and wonder why it sounds bad.

This will also help keep stress off of the truss rod.

The older the strings, the tighter they have to be to keep the guitar in tune.

HOT Tip! : For you that are new to the art of stringing a guitar… remember that your strings wind from the inside out.

4. Only use guitar polish on the guitar. Never use Pledge or any household wood polish. Guitar polishes are specially formulated to not ruin the clear coat on the guitar.

5. Oil the tuning machines about every 6 months or when they start feeling “sticky”. Use a very thin oil like mineral oil or valve oil used for trumpets.

Follow these basic guidelines tenaciously, and you will enjoy playing your guitar more often.

Holla’…

So…You’re Thinking of Starting a Band?

The Experience of being in a band was fun and very rewarding for me. I had a few minutes of fame, met some great people, and made some great friends.

But… In looking back there are definitely some things that we could have done differently. I will try to give all of you just starting out… some of my best stuff on this subject. You will need to get a few things right in the beginning for your band to be ready for the challenges it will face on the road to greatness!

The Staff here at The Guitar Store have all experienced this in living Color… So Listen Up!… We maybe able to save you some serious heartburn.

Where to Start?

Hot Tip!…You will need to get very real with your friends and future bunk mates, and layout the details of what you all consider to be your goals. First, define your short range goals.

Many aspiring musicians and newbie’s do not realize how much of a commitment it takes from everyone in the band for this to work.

(Goals that you will make and try to complete in the next 6-12 months)

Do some brainstorming with a clear head and talk about what each of you expect as Band Members. The obvious topics will be Music styles, who will sing lead, back-up and such. Then there is the business end of the Band. Who will be the leader of this Band and take the responsibility of becoming your representative to the outside world?. Who will do your bookings, and organize the financial matters?

You will need to define what you will need in terms of Guitars, Keyboards, and other Music Gear in order to be the best you can be in your Genre without trying to feed too many mouths. If this will be a “Hobby Band” then don’t sweat it… just have some fun.

Hot Tip!…You will also need to plan ahead for what we will call “Branding”.

This is a term used for any business to establish their iconic trademark in their industry. This also applies to the performing arts. You will want to think of a name that you can build on and promote over time that will be “brand-able” in the minds of your fans!

Your music as well, must have something special about it. There are many examples of those artists whose claim to fame was a unique feature of their performances.

You now will need to get very real with each other. You will need to bear in mind any bad habits, personality flaws, or other undesirable characteristics of each member of the band, and talk about these things. You do not want someone in your band who does not respect the level of commitment and hard work you are all about to do together.

Hot Tip!… Your commitment to a rehearsal schedule will be a BIG FACTOR.

Get this right and your band may shoot up the ladder of success. Get this wrong… and you will all become burned out on the band before it even has a chance to make it! Band members who do not have good work ethics will also never be good enough to keep up with those who do and have a vision of greatness for the band.

I Will Now Challenge You… If you will take the time to find out how each of you really tics, and how each potential band member sees this whole experience in the big picture, you will also begin to see the best or the worst come out of your fellow band members, and you will soon find out that one or more of you is not up to the task of doing what it takes to become a great band one day. This may be a little painful now… but it can become devastating to the success of the band at a later date.

Hot Tip!…The other BIG FACTOR in starting a band is of course the start up costs.

It will be necessary for each potential band member to have their own Amps, Mics and other gear, and you will weed out the wannabe’s if this is a requirement.

Song choices will be the next challenge. At first you should just perform easier songs that will give you all a chance to get to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses (musically speaking of course).

Hot Tip!…Finding a good place to rehearse that is private will become VITAL.

You do not want all of your friends to know where you rehearse! If you do make this known… you will find yourself trying to keep your rehearsals from becoming parties.

In the end it will just take time! If your band can stand the test of time… and you all can stand each other… you may become successful and enjoy a great career as a Performing Artist!!

If you think we can help… drop us an email… We like to give input to new aspiring artists on these topics. Also… post your comment below.

Which Guitar Should I Buy?

An Acoustic Guitar is probably the better choice for most who are just beginning to learn Guitar. To be specific here at The Guitar Store we feel that the Acoustic-Electric Guitar is probably the better choice. These guitars are more popular now days due to some great improvements over the last few years. Better pick-up technology is part of that improvement. Starting with an acoustic will avoid the tendency to become focused on producing a “good hook” as apposed to really learning the basics and laying down a good foundation for your skills to build on.

If you really want to do Guitar Lessons on an electric guitar, you will have many affordable choices in small amplifiers, which are available at most guitar shops, and you will also find everything you need to get started there. Small local shops tend to be more “pricey” than the online super stores.

The official Guitar Store recommendation is that you check out MusiciansFriend.com before you spend your hard earned cash, due to the fact that besides having the best inventory and prices on the planet…they back up their products with a 45-day complete satisfaction and lowest price guarantee… that most local music shops do not.

While electric guitars can be loud and offensive in the hands of a beginner…Electric Guitars are also a good choice for beginners because their strings are generally thinner and the neck a bit more narrow than those of an acoustic guitar, which makes them easier on the player’s fingers and more conducive to learning chords without too much hand-cramping. If a student guitar player learns to play on an acoustic guitar first… they will adapt to the electric guitar much easier. The Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers the best of both of these. They can be played un-plugged or amplified which ever you want.

Many cost effective options for these guitars can be found at the site of our featured retailer: MusiciansFriend.com

They are widely known as the largest retailer of Musical Instruments in the world, and they are popular with novice guitar players and Pros alike, because the way they treat you is like going to your local store. A common comment we hear a lot is,” every time I have called them, I have been treated like a friend”. That is why we are partnered with MF. That kind of customer service is hard to find.

Click on this link to explore their site, and review some of their guitar packages on sale now . While they carry most major brand names, there are some brands that have a premium line more for pros, and a secondary line for those who just want a quality guitar without all of the bells and whistles. Here are the names of some of the brand names we recommend to look at in the price range of 150.00 to 450.00

An electric guitar should be less expensive, but will have it’s limitations, while in general you will be able to use an Acoustic-Electric Guitar in more applications. While there is not really a stand out guitar for a beginner… the best bang for your buck can be found in the Alvarez, Ibanez or Takamine. The same can be said for the Peavey, or Epiphone for an electric Guitar.

Some other obvious but more costly options are Gibson, Martin, Alvarez, Ibanez, Takamine, Epiphone, Fender, Yamaha, Peavey, and on.

Pick-Up Conversions

Those who are intermediate or Pro Guitar Players have probably already converted their favorite guitar’s pick-ups to better quality ones for premium sounding results. This is not necessary though, if you are just starting out. You can purchase an electric guitar with premium professional grade Pick-ups, it just costs more. Takamine has just released a new pickup system for their Acoustic Electric guitars that have an amazing sound. If you want to synthesize and create very unique sounds with your acoustic guitar… then you may want to check out the Roland GR20 Guitar Synthesizer with GK3 Pickup. For more on this check out the video demo on the left sidebar here on this site!

The difference in sound is best described as the difference between Mariah Carey singing the National Anthem and your High School Choir Director singing it. They both sounded good and they are on pitch, but the performance level of a Professional Singer like Mariah Carey is hard to beat.

Neck and Action

The Action is the term used to describe the way the neck feels to a guitarist as he is playing a song going from chord to chord. Rock Guitar players pay more attention to the action as they will be moving much faster in performing a lead part in a song. In general most electric guitars will have a faster action than an acoustic will.

Strings

It is better for a beginner to use flat round strings rather than round wound, as they are used more on an electric guitar and easier on the hands that don’t yet have callus on them from playing a lot.

Whatever guitar you choose… make sure that you keep it at room temperature and avoid excess humidity as much as possible. Not to hot, and not to cold, as this will warp and damage the neck of the guitar and make it harder to play as a result.

We hope this information will help you make a better informed choice for your next Guitar purchase.

All the Best… The Guitar Store -Team

Wanna’ Learn to play Guitar?

Have you become confused by all of the “learn guitar” music courses found on the web?

Many of them are just not going to teach you how to play the guitar very well, and it is tough to tell how good each course is until after you’ve already paid for it.

FEATURED COURSE – Learn & Master Guitar
Some try to learn the guitar by searching for free guitar lessons online, and other random methods. While there are some good snippets of free guitar lessons online, as well as some pretty good videos on you tube… These are just going to give you a few little pieces of the puzzle, and not the whole picture.

Think of it this way… When I was in school I took keyboard typing. I wasn’t thrilled about it and could not see any real world application or use for these skills. So I learned to type my own way and, so now my one or two fingers are busier than a one legged man doing a tap dance.

There is a wrong way to learn and a right way to learn. If you will do it right… you may one day have a career in music and the Performing Arts. Although, if you do it wrong… you will have a great time with your garage band, make some fun memories, but never be a serious musician.

As professional musicians we have been approached by many who want to learn to play the guitar, so we decided to see what is offered out there online, and give you our opinion on each guitar learning course.

For the money… Learn & Master Guitar is our best pick as well as one of the best “user” picks offered anywhere. Jamorama is great as well, but you will need to follow along in front of your computer. Guitar Super Stars is yet another great choice for the person who wants to learn a variety of guitar playing styles. There are other courses out there but for factors such as price, quailty of teaching materials, or overall effectiveness… they did not make it to our top picks. So let’s look at these three first.

NOTE: We have compiled this totally unbiased overview on each of these courses to give you the best information you may need to choose the right learn guitar course. If you would like to receive updates and get our newsletter, then please contact us and we will keep in touch with you. Also… please read our disclosure at the bottom of this page.

Guitar Super Stars is the next best choice. This course is again a down-loadable and computer-based Guitar training course.

It may be quite helpful with the benefit of it’s videos and with the unique approach to learn that is offered with it…. and if you want to learn to play the guitar in many different styles or (genres)… then Guitar Super Stars might be the right choice for you.

Jamarama Acoustic is a course created by it’s originators to fill in the gaps in their first predominately Electric Guitar learning course. there may be areas in musical theory that the first course does not go into depth on.

Playing the Acoustic guitar for classical music, Country Music, or Smooth jazz … requires a different approach to Guitar Tablature. The “Guitar Tabs” or “Guitar Tablature” is the term used to describe the music theory behind reading music . Understanding guitar tablature is very important if you want to make your living as a guitar musician when the music genre is more dependent on many chord and key changes. Electric guitar players can eventually become limited and have a sort of “tunnel vision” when it comes to adapting to new music.

For instance if your are interested in blues guitar tablature, this course will teach you how to correctly read guitar sheet music to eventually become employed by many different blues guitar bands, classical orchestras, contemporary christian, and jazz bands.

This course focuses more on some easy guitar tablature training to help you become proficient reading music in any genre. This may not be offered with many of the computer-based down-loadable courses, but for some students this is not a concern when first starting out as a beginning guitar player. You can supplement your training materials with guitar tablature books… if you want to consider one of the other courses here on our list of preferred learn to play guitar courses.

So… if learning Acoustic guitar music tablature is important to you… then this may be the right course for you! This in essence is the main difference between the two best selling, learn to play guitar courses. Learning to finger pick, play classical, and jazz music, and of course country music is also what this course will teach you best.

Review Summary: Jamarama Acoustic provides you with a great learning experience if you are interested in learning more music theory while learning to play the guitar. So …again, If you need an inexpensive but quality Guitar lesson training course and you don’t mind sitting in front of your computer, then this course offers a good value for your money.

Guitar History

History of the Guitar

The History of the Modern Guitar – From the Flintstone’s Bedrock Cafe to Rock and Roll??

The human race has always had a love for music hardwired into our circuits. Ancient humans discovered long ago that magical sounds pleasing to the ears could be made from vibrating strings. The earliest record of stringed instruments takes us back to as early as the days of King David, (the Jewish king), in the BC era of ancient Israel.

Stringed instruments such as the lute or mandolin were used by traveling early musicians called “minstrels” as early the 14th century in Europe, and they would entertain the crowds by playing their unique compositions in the community market places. Later other musical instruments were invented that combined and made up our earliest orchestras. Even in modern times we are still interested in these early forms of the stringed instruments.

Rock star “Sting” has recently released a CD compilation of 16th century lute music. American band REM has often featured a mandolin in their music performances. The Rod Stewart hit, “Maggie May” also featured the unique classical sound of the mandolin. The mandolin is also still a common sound in today’s country music genre.

Every culture on earth has a version of the forerunner of the modern guitar. African and Far Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures have several versions of stringed musical instruments, some with only three strings. Here in America, the banjo has become very popular in country and folk music. The guitar was used here in the US back in the early days of our history and in the Western Cowboy culture long before it became popular for jazz, blues, and then eventually becoming the featured instrument of every rock and roll band.

Western rock music has also blended the Sitar, a stringed instrument originating from the Middle East, first heard in a pop song performed by The Beatles with Norwegian Wood. And we cannot forget to acknowledge the huge contribution that the music of Spain and Latin America has made to classical guitar music.

Many of the most love compositions in classical music have been written for a stringed orchestra or string ensemble. The violin, viola and cello continue to work very well together in string musical instrument pieces. The double fret-less bass is very versatile and can be found in jazz bands, orchestras and in bluegrass rockabilly bands.

A popular string instrument often used in rock, country and folk music is the violin or “fiddle”. The fiddle is known as the traditional iconic symbol of Irish, jigs and reels. Jazz artists such as Darryl Way and Jean Luc Ponty are very accomplished violinists and performers. The radical guitarist Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, has even used a violin bow with his electric guitar in a sort of “Violin meets Guitar” experimental sound.

Modern stringed instruments can be ordered from the factories with custom fitted electric pickups to amplify the sound, to fit in with any style of music. Violins or Fiddles, are now made as an electric guitar with the ability to synthesis sounds and use special effects to create very unique results in some popular rock and county music songs.

Keyboard instruments such as the piano, clavichord, and harpsichord are actually considered stringed musical instruments as well because they have strings, which are struck by hammers. Some even consider the piano, a percussion instrument. Today the Electronic Piano Keyboard has become synthesized and can produce sounds sampled and digitally reproduced in small compact keyboards with weighted keys and other features that closely duplicate the sound of traditional large Grand Pianos. Full stringed orchestra sounds can be selected to blend with other wind and percussion instrument sounds to produce a full concert hall orchestra sound with this one amazing little instrument. These are often referred to as “Workstations”.

All of the modern versions of the Guitar and other old world stringed instruments, are still used today in a range of sounds that are quite awesome to listen to, and to perform with as a musician. Fiddle music for instance…can cause your foot to start tapping, and a good guitar player may cause involuntary hand clapping. Add percussion to this mix and you may feel the urge to get up and dance. On the other hand… a softly flowing cello solo may cause you to “tear up” as featured in the new movie…”The Soloist”.

Whether your favorite Guitar Music is composed along with other stringed instruments, or is being synthesized through computer based software, or in analog form and unplugged, All of our personal music favorites, still can express many things much better than we as humans can say in mere words alone. The Soundtracks of many movies have proven to entertain audiences with very little spoken dialog such as the western: “The Good Bad and the Ugly”, but with a very compelling music dialog… We get the message!

Yeah… I can hear that unmistakable tune in my head right now as well!

All that being said…there is still nothing quite as sweet as the traditional sound of a live orchestra of violins, cellos, stringed bass, and a Grand piano in a concert hall filled with avid fans of great instrumental music.

So… with today’s overwhelming popularity of the Guitar and all of the awesome music it has created… hopefully we will always remember it’s ancient, and old world beginnings.
