Musicians Corner V1: Cover Band Edition
D'addario Light gauge is what I like most. I tried Gibson super light gauge once but didn't like it much, found it harder to pick.

Guys, need some advice.
I'd like to know how MotherJane's guitarist makes those Veena (I think) like sounds. I suspect that he uses a Synth engine or a Harmonic Octave Generator alongwith an Octaver but I am not sure. I've searched everywhere, but I am unable to get any info about what gear or patches they use. Can anyone here who has some exp help out?

I think he(Baiju Dharmajan) uses slide guitar(bottleneck)File:Fingandslide.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia because thats how it sounds like(not sure)(listen to jeff beck-nadia intro) and he likes carnatic music .Also according to wiki his gear is-
'Epiphone prophecy,Gibson STUDIO,Yamaha Compass series Acoustic guitar,epiphone sst classic 2.0, DIGITECH GSP1101 and ART SGX 2000 PRE AMP. Dharmajan used a Ibanez RG320 to record Insane Biography and Maktub'

I am sure its not slide. I've seen their live videos. But, let me see what the Digitech GSP is all about.
Edit : Yeah...its a multi-effects processor. But, it costs a bomb. Any way to get the same cheaper?

The solo is where any one instrument takes the centerstage. For ex, a guitar solo, where the vocalist may or may not sing backing.
Chorus is a part of the song where multiple vocalists sing together, therefore giving a chorus effect.
Verse is a sentence in lyrics.
Lick and riffs are harder to define since they are sometimes used interchangeably. The way I see it, a lick is a non repetitive pattern played during random intervals of the song, while the riff may or may not be repetitive but is usually used in context with rhythm than lead.

yes, i agree its a strange instrument. i couldn't find much info online too (tutoring lessons). nevertheless, i hope i would be able to find someone to teach here. there used to be aired some show on MTV sometime back where bands & musicians used to perform for auditioning. i didn't use to see the show, but just while browsing through once my eyes fell on a young lone chap who was a bagpipe-performer. thence i felt there may be dearth of such people, but certainly they are not non-existent. i fancy learning quite some of them, like santoor, chinese flute, harmonica, drums, etc., too much to wish for, but want to start off with the bagpipe
