A friend of mine said that using heavy metal distortion on an acoustic pickup hurts the pickup. This didn’t make sense to me cause its a input, meaning that it reads electric signals and then the amp distorts the readings. But then again I dont know a ton about pickups. SO i just thought Id be better safe than sorry since i just bought one.

Tell your friend to stick to hockey Dude. If you like the distorted sound than get a Boss DS-1.
That is the best pedal for clean distortion. It won’t damage anything but your mom and dad’s ears LOL..

Enjoy it dude.

Here is the link for the pedal

I want to be an amazing guitarist. I love every kind of rock, but I’m looking to be a metal guitarist, so does anyone know any secrets or good places to go or good things to buy that will help me to be a great metal guitarist?
nice start, but does anyone have anything more specific?

The key to being a great musician is the same, regardless of the instrument. Someone told Segovia they would give their life to play as well as he played. Segovia replied, "I did."

Lessons and practice. As you get better, proceed to a better teacher. More lessons and more practice. Repeat as needed.

I remember seeing a Wikipedia page showing about 6 of them, but that was a while ago.

I’m wondering if there are any other ones, and can someone please tell me which ones they are? I’ve forgotten them.

Then Came To Kill – The Chariot

ps … just Wiki "Hayley Williams." there’s 2 Say Anything songs, a New Found Glory song ..

Im so confused, i only want the UK ones, on machine heads myspace they have none of the uk dates although i know all 3 are playing at the NEC.
If its any easier are all three playing at the Apollo in london?

i just copied that from the back of a kerrang, but it is not the latest one, so the dates might have been changed or added

I am a 21 year old male singer who’s range is between the contralto and mezzo-soprano range but I was wondering with proper training from a vocal coach or teacher can I expand my range to hit whistle register note’s?I know that Mariah Carey self-identifies herself as a alto singer but is able to sing in the whistle register.So can I do the same thing?Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

Sure, why not? I’m a male baritone who can hit extremely high soprano notes without a problem. No reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it.

I have a chemistry test tomorrow. We learned that ionic compounds or ions can only be formed with teh combination of a metal and a nonmetal. However, can a metalloid take the place of a metal? Also, is there an easy way to remember which are the nonmetals or metals on the periodic table? Thanks.

Yes, but it depends on the elements>

The iphone 3g was released in june of 2008 if I recall right… I’m curious as to how far ahead of that did apple let people know what exactly was coming on the new phone?
Just curious with all the rumors flying bout this coming june for when apple might release info.

Well if you get very technical/detailed when Steve announced the original iPhone he did say that they were going to make a 3G version, although it was just in passing at the time.

I believe the iPhone 3G rumors started around September/October prior to its official announcement the following January.

I know about the countless ways to take vocals out, but how do I take everything else out and leave only the vocals?
And is there a free way to do this, like with Audacity?

You can adjust the EQ / Frequencies with Audacity , Abelton , Pro Tools ect….You would CUT the bass and adjust the high and midrange.You will never get an Accapella.You need the Master copy of the track.Or see if the song has a 12" release they usually have the accapella.

You can look forward to this in the near future for MP3’s…..

This will allow you to take out just the vocals , or a certain instrument in the song.

I have to provide music for a party tonight i like tool and the secret machines and jimmy hendrix , rolling stones and all the clasic oldies. i want some rock music other than this to play …help!

You can try some Echo And The Bunnymen,Nirvana,Pixies,Nine Inch Nails,The Cure(I’ve noticed the popularity of certain Cure songs amongst people who are anything but fans of rock music),A Perfect Circle,Ramones,The Clash-alternative rock appeals a lot more to general taste-songs like What I lIke about you by the Ramones or Should I stay or should I go by The Clash are tracks pretty much everybody likes.

I thought of this question because I was on itunes listening to Three Days Grace.

The music Genre is Metal. It seems like a little bit of rock in a way. If you listen to Pain it seems like… Metal or Heavy Metal….

So what is the difference?

they are all considered to be rock. some are soft rock which is like the jonas brothers
