Don't stress over it! That's the first thing... if you relax as you just calmly think about a subject perhaps words will start to flow. And I've found (over 30 years of writing) that you shouldn't...

Hey! Just do a Google search - "sweep picking a guitar" - and you'll get all kinds of information.

Well that's goin' back aways - and I sometimes have trouble remembering last Year! Didn't Stafford also do that "I don't like spiders and snakes" song? Just curious, now that we've got a reptile...

Nope! We're never going to hear from the original person again! Oh well...
I've got to agree about the quality of instrument - of course you shouldn't spend a ton of money just for a beginner who...

Ok, I've just listened a few times and in my opinion (Pro-musician since the 1960's and having taught in the Music Dept. of a Calif. College) the string part is just an 'arrangement' written for this...

Geez, that's going back a ways... I've played that song many times, used to see the Animals play live so many times, etc. I'll give it a listen and try to help - never really thought about if the...

Since we haven't heard from AceHigh in over a month, I'm guessing he's headed out the backdoor along with the croc's...

Well let's see... as I vaguely recall, it was a never-ending-droning kind of slow thing. And when I was the manager of a broadcast station in Colorado, we had a new DJ who was all revved up to do a...

Just a thought: Any chance you can call the radio station and ask someone about the song?

Maybe overly obvious, but have you Googled it?

Why oh why did you have to bring up Mull of Kintire?. it took me 25 years to get that song outa my head! LOL

I wish you would tell us where Avon High School is. Here's a thought, do you know of any famous or even semi-famous people who went to school there? Or even have a connection to your area? ...

The song length is just fine.. this isn't rap by a long shot! You've done a good job here, keep working on your lyrics.
Just a suggestion, look at your chorus - leave out the 'And' on both lines...

It sounds like the peak power rating for the speaker is 800w. While the RMS (normal operating wattage) is 400w at 8 ohms. For maximum efficiency, yes the amp and speaker should match - but it...

OMG... Hayseed Dixie?! Now that's an 'out there' band... as a musician I really like hearing Black Sabbath done in a 'country style'! Simply amazing... LOL!

I think there are a couple of Bright Eyes songs, but I do know that Art Garfunkel recorded one. Not sure if that's the one you're looking for. His "Breakaway" album is one of my favorites (personal...

I can only suggest that you contact the production company shown on the videotape. They should be able to help you - since they would have had to negotiate the performance / usage rights from the...

I'm really sorry to hear that - and yes, it sadly happens all the time! And the old 'common law copyright' just doesn't do it anymore. People (writers) need to spend the money to register their...

Oh boy... there is So much to tell here that it's hard to know where to begin! And there is a difference between a Recording Contract and a Publisher's Contract. I've known some artists who...

A point is a percentage... 1.5 points is 1.5% of the amount. There is a Whole Lot more to a recording contract beyond this, so I can't really tell you too much without additional info...
Take a...

It sounds like you've found the 'punch block' terminal which is the master connection for your entire building. Somewhere between this terminal and your condo should be a box that as Scott says is...

I was going to guess the west coast of Florida - Captiva & Sanibel Islands are some of my favorite places. Having grown up in the Chicago area, it just didn't have that Lake Michigan look. Lol ...

So Andi, off the subject for a moment... that doesn't quite look like Lake Michigan!

Well, I'll have to think about this one... although I might suggest you stay away from Country music (which is what I'm currently writing) just because it often has all the elements that you Don't...

I apologize about the warranty question, you actually mentioned that and I didn't catch it earlier. I've been dealing with electronics engineering for 30 years and manufactured products from the...

Ok, Mr. Russell beat me to the keyboard with this reply... I was also about to question the warranty situation. I think Home Depot is pretty good about that?

Hi Andi - thanks for writing. For the record, I really like Lou Gramm's music.. especially the song Just Between You and Me. It's one of my all-time favorites, for several reasons. I just realized...

Well ummm Yes would be the answer. Midnight Blue was / is a Melissa song. It was recorded in the mid-1970's at the studio I co-owned at the time.

First, I've never used this brand of track lighting so I'm somewhat guessing here. Isn't Hampton Bay the in-house store brand of Home Depot? Have you checked with them?
Ok, the track itself is...

Here are a few sites you might want to check out. I'm been to the California Real Goods / Solar Living place in Hopland, Calif. And they seem to really know their stuff. You can also type in: Solar...

Hi Bob, I'll post some additional info later this afternoon regarding solar systems - and thanks for your reply.
"Solar: It's not just for electric gates anymore!"

Considering your location, have you thought about integrating solar electric into this system? I haven't read all of your posts, so maybe this has been brought up before. I think it's certainly...

Hi, I was going to tell you all kinds of things about stair construction - and then I took a look at the above answer's link. I think the very first line of that site sums it up nicely:

Stair...

Let's not forget... Jimi Hendrix or even further back (The Crazy World of) Arthur Brown!

This isn't really a do-it-yourself project.

One thing to be absolutely certain of would be the phasing of all the speakers. Be aware that if all the wires are not 'positive to positive' / 'negative to negative' then you'll lose bass response....

Very good point about following electrical codes. You can always do the wire nuts / tape part and then finish with an approved cover plate - and Not plaster over the plate.
I'd have to grab an...

Might try holding an ice cube against the taffy until it becomes really brittle. At that point you can shatter it - since it's be nearly frozen. I've done that with chewing gum and think it should...

It obviously depends upon the degree of arc... in other words, too much of a curve can be really hard to work with. I've back-cut anywhere from one blade width to about 1/4" in order to 'wrap' the...

No problem... like I said, you shouldn't have any issues, and I've even drywalled / patched the old location. And the house is still standing 15 years later! LOL

If you don't mind, if you would...

That's exactly what I've done in the past and it has been fine (for years). I simply cut back the ends of the wires (Make Sure the breaker is OFF! And you've tested for any current first!) and then...

Can you tell us what specific area you're talking about? Movies; TV Series: Internet Project; or what?

To any and all who were following this thread or may have wondered why it slammed to a halt in mid-stream... by mutual consent, it moved to a different location. Millertime has his system figured...

I think we can figure this one out - and save you some $$ here. First thing: Where exactly did the phone person install these 'line filters'? Answer this question and we can go from there!

I would like to take a moment and thank all of you for these posts! Ya see, I usually spend time on Engineering issues and there Never seems to be much humor within those categories. Just the other...

Okay….. lets try to take this down to the lowest common denominator:
1. Millertime has a hot Camaro.
2. He wants a killer sound system.
3. He would like to achieve maximum 'thump' for the...

And now I've got to sign-off for tonight - early day tomorrow. I'll check for messages in the morning and follow-up with whatever info I can provide.
Thanks for a great question tonight!

So what if I were to get a dual voice coil 2 ohms speakers would the amp see it as 4 ohms instead?

Yes!

Or, check out this speaker...

BOSS AUDIO BL128 Blade Series Metallic Injection Cone...

Ok, this is getting pretty technical (not a problem - I taught advanced audio engineering) so let me try to simplify this: You amp choice and speaker choice don't match as well as they should. ...
