http://www.premierguitar.com This is the syndication feed for PremierGuitar.com. First of all, in the spirit of the new year, I’d like you to think about the way you think about things. No, really … think! http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Feb/A_New_Year_To_Think.aspx Gary "Sarge" Gistinger Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:57:00 GMT I hope you are thinking about your rig and how you are using it. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jul/Whats_the_Difference.aspx Gary "Sarge" Gistinger Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:56:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Feb/Re_biasing_and_Tolerances.aspx Jeff Bober Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:09:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Rags_to_Riches_Cont.aspx Dirk Wacker Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:30:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2008/Mar/Dissecting_Distortion_Pt_3.aspx Gary "Sarge" Gistinger Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:41:00 GMT With it being around the holiday season, I started to think about what my life would be like today if the public school music program had not been available to me as I was growing up in small town Maine. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Feb/How_Public_School_Music_Saved_My_Life.aspx Johnny Hiland Mon, 31 Dec 2007 12:52:00 GMT Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde, Steve Morse … how do they get that sound? Chances are the subjects of that question are using a composite signal. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Mar/Composing_A_Composite_Signal.aspx Bryan Lionman Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:07:00 GMT When the frets are perfectly level, as a string is fretted, it barely clears the adjacent fret. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Feb/About_Fret_Leveling.aspx George Ellison Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:27:00 GMT Surface flatness is something of a science. There are actually gauges made to measure this, and they come in various types and with different levels of accuracy and expense. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/About_Fret_Polishing.aspx George Ellison Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:26:00 GMT The original Strat tremolo was designed to float, meaning that the tremolo's rear edge is raised up off the body. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to set your bridge to float - set it how you like it. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jul/Floating_Tremolos.aspx George Ellison Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:03:00 GMT I recently bought a 1982 Marshall 4210, the 1x12 combo version of the 2205 head. Both channels sound a bit too harsh or tinny, regardless of settings http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jul/Curing_Comboanemia.aspx Jeff Bober Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:49:00 GMT Welcome back, everyone. In this lesson I will be showing you some picking lines to take your speed, accuracy and coordination up to the next level http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jul/Advanced_Picking_Lines.aspx Mike Campese Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:24:00 GMT There are several adjustments to be made, and they should be made in this order: the truss rod, string height (action), and then intonation. You should always follow this order, with one caveat: floating tremolos. If you have a floating trem, check out this section before making other adjustments http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jul/About_Setups_Pt_2.aspx George Ellison Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:21:00 GMT One of the most discussed, and surely the most modded, stompbox circuits ever is the good ol' Ibanez Tube Screamer 808. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jan/The_Ultimate_Tube_Screamer_Mod_Guide.aspx Dirk Wacker Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:31:00 GMT I bet the number of good replacement pickups available for Teles has never been bigger than today. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Feb/The_Telecaster_Mod_Guide.aspx Dirk Wacker Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:30:00 GMT When we left off last month, we had a neck where the tops of all of the frets were level, flat (no longer rounded), and had big scratches on them (yikes!). http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Mar/About_Fret_Crowning.aspx George Ellison Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:29:00 GMT This lesson I will be showing you a great way to practice scales - it will help you move up the neck very quickly and is a great way to master the fretboard. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Mar/Master_the_Fretboard.aspx Mike Campese Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:29:00 GMT Turning an inexpensive amp into a vintage beast. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Mar/Rags_to_Riches.aspx Dirk Wacker Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:28:00 GMT Master your fretboard! http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Constructing_Lines_Across_the_Fretboard.aspx Mike Campese Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:27:00 GMT After you've bought an armload of pedals, what to do? http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Picking_Out_a_Pedalboard.aspx James Egolf Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:26:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/Rags_to_Riches_The_Final_Mojo.aspx Dirk Wacker Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:25:00 GMT A setup means an overall adjustment and servicing. Different shops give you different things with their setups, but you should expect that it will include adjusting everything that is adjustable, and making sure that the guitar is as mechanically functional as it can be. Since everyone needs their guitar setup from time to time, we'll take the process from the top. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/About_Setups_Pt_1.aspx George Ellison Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:24:00 GMT I will be showing you an etude written using the arpeggios that we have been playing across the neck http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jun/Arpeggio_Etude.aspx MIKE CAMPESE Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:23:00 GMT After you learn your basic arpeggio shapes using one or two octaves and you are looking to get to the next level, you want to learn the full range of the neck http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/Three_Octave_Arpeggios.aspx Mike Campese Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:23:00 GMT We’re starting with our favorite amp as the basis for our tone, then we’re using a second amp to blend in with the first, creating our composite signal. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Composing_A_Composite_Signal_Pt_2.aspx Bryan Lionman Wed, 13 Jun 2007 20:09:00 GMT Each step you take in preparation for a gig from start to finish will have an effect on how things go now and in the future http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jun/Rig_Essentials_What_We_Know.aspx BRYAN LIONMAN Wed, 13 Jun 2007 20:08:00 GMT I have a 1970 Hiwatt DR103 which I run through a 2x15 Fender cab with EV speakers. It sounds great, but I don’t like to drive the amp too much because it loses the clean sound that I love. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Jun/Hiwatts_and_Colors.aspx JEFF BOBER Tue, 15 May 2007 16:32:00 GMT I want to sell my old Vox AC50 Super Twin head, and need to hook it up to a speaker to make sure it works. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Firing_Up_A_Vox.aspx Jeff Bober Tue, 08 May 2007 17:16:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/Rig_Essentials_What_We_Have.aspx BRYAN LIONMAN Wed, 02 May 2007 22:13:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/Super_Attenuation.aspx JEFF BOBER Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:19:00 GMT http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/May/Whats_Your_Guitar_Worth.aspx JOHNNY HILAND Wed, 11 Apr 2007 16:46:00 GMT I own a mid eighties JCM 2205 Split Channel Marshall.

Those Plush amps are pretty reliable workhorses, and make a great loud and clean platform from which to build on, very similar to a Fender Twin Reverb. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Mar/Plush_Hum_Tone.aspx Jeff Bober Fri, 16 Mar 2007 14:21:00 GMT The focus of this article is for those of you who are looking for help in choosing schools to further your guitar education. http://magazine.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2007/Apr/Music_School_Awareness.aspx Johnny Hiland Fri, 16 Mar 2007 13:13:00 GMT
