You mainly use the fleshy part of the finger... so the palm side I guess. Your finger naturally lays kinda sideways though. I'd say it's 70/30 palm/side If you actually use the side, then your other fingers can't reach the strings.

Well it sounds to me like you're not making the most out of having a tube amp. Turn your guitar's volume back to about 2 or 3, then turn the amp up as loud as it will go without distorting. Turning up your guitar volume should now result in a fair amount of distortion from the amp with minimal...

Do you want actual sounds? Because MIDI isn't audio... it's just data. It's basically a list of instructions like "play this note this loud, now play this note this loud, now add vibrato to that note, now play this note this loud..." The actual sounds themselves come from your keyboard and have...

Of course you can. Why would you think that you can't? There's no significant difference electrically between a bass and a guitar.

Multi-effects are more convenient, but individual pedals typically sound better. The big advantage to individual pedals is that you've usually got WAY more control over the sound. Multi-effect pedals usually have more generalized controls. You can also place individual pedals anywhere in the...

Well you've got those big swing bands, which often have all the instruments you mentioned, including the flute.

The general rule is that harder, denser woods produce a greater high end response. That's why Gibsons, which are traditionally loaded with humbuckers, used ebony and mahogany for their guitars. The humbuckers phased out some of the high tones, so they used woods that countered that (it's also...

Which effects you're going to use is all about the sound you're trying to achieve. There's lots of great stuff out there, but I have no way of knowing if you'll use it creatively. EHX makes a lot of really interesting stuff, and it's all really high quality. Pigtronix and Xotic make some really...

Well to you it may all sound the same, but you've been pretty straight forward about the fact that it doesn't appeal to you, so you really have no incentive to listen to it close enough to accurately judge it. To most people who don't listen to jazz, it all sounds the same. To most people who...
