new songs
# 1
I want a lot of songs but it's not that simple, they have to get the rights...
But I would really like to have Welcome to the Jungle and Civil War (Guns N Roses: Awesome songs!!) and they are really tough to learn... Other, not so difficult songs, I can learn them on my own

Hey aerosmith216,
we've created a forum just for this question:
http://www.guitartricks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=58
I check it on a regular basis and make notes of all requests, please add yours?
George is right, but I think we're doing really well so far.

This could be a nice little theory exercise for you. Take a song you like with bar chords and replace them with open chords. But offcourse remember to keep practicing bar chords :)

More reason to keep doing them. Practice makes perfect.

Hi Lewie1,
We're working on something like this now, but in the meantime, keep building that first finger strength in a Barre position. You'll get there!

and you'll need that...
I think that powerchords sound much better than "normal" chords on the e guitar, if you play with a crunch effect

Will you describe the sound of a "crunch effect"..?

... And it's not only the Crunch effect, also the other effects where you have more gain:
Well, I have a Line 6 Spider IV 15 and it has 4 buttons:
Clean, Crunch, Metal ans Insane.
Clean has no effects, so it sounds like a normal guitar. Now, if I choose Crunch, there's a little more Gain, Metal has more gain and Insane has the most.
So Crunch is an effect where you have a little gain. (That's the best way I can explain it, hope it helped)

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm relatively new to amplifiers and have noticed a ton of vocabulary words used to identify the sounds but very little defining or describing what those different terms mean/what they sound like.

The terminology of guitars and gear is never ending, but there is a basic vocabulary that exists and stays consistent across the board.
A "cruch effect" is distortion, more or less. This can be achieved so many different ways, but in the traditional sense this can describe the sound of a guitar being played through a distortion pedal or through an amp with distortion on it.
What other terms do you have questions about? Happy to help :o

Thanks much for the offer. Nothing specific comes to mind although I did just watch a YouTube vid where in just a few minutes I heard the descriptors British, clean, dirty, muddy, sludgy (a degree of muddiness I assume :) ) and crunch.
I think what I'm looking for is a 'vocabulary list' source(s) with a narrative desciption of the sounds *and* a source of audio comparisons of said sounds. Are there any GT gear tutorials that come close? Maybe something on that basic and consistent vocab you mentioned..?
