TDC: Raul Malo Of The Mavericks
hamerhead replied to crunchee's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
It's a cryin' shame. ETA: 'Cryin' Shame' is one of very few country tunes I genuinely enjoy. Had I not done a stint in a country band, I likely would never have heard of it or the Mavericks. R.I.P., Mr. Malo. -

Another buzz/grounding question- '01 Studio
hamerhead replied to stobro's question in Ask the HFC Experts
He should pull a tailpiece anchor and attach the wire to it, but a stud will work. I don't have one either but had a similar issue with my LP. I wrapped the wire around the stud... -

That. Is so helpful! -
It's one better.

Sorry. I meant to say 2 tones, using the concentric pot.

Love that! 2 volumes/1 tone, but put the bridge volume in the nearest hole and a concentric tone in the farthest. That damn switch hole is in the wrong place!

tips or tricks for learning tunes off a CD?

Good tune! Sounds like fun. And you can always lean on the other guitar player to show you any of the trickier bits. -

...or an earworm. They're much less bitey. -

I think only BB King can play fewer notes and be as distinctive. Alotta funk for a white boy. And alotta respect. R.I.P., Mr. Cropper.

A lot of pickup sites have a wiring diagram page. I found those to be helpful when doing standard-ish wiring. YouTube is another good place to search for better soldering techniques (than what I have). ETA: If you don't want to add a hole, you could keep 2 volumes separate and get 2 tones with a concentric pot.

hamerhead replied to Jimbilly's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
First: know what key your damn singer is changing it to. Then: Practicepracticepractice. Reps ingrain the tune while building gig strength/stamina into your hands. It's a lot easier if you're playing it straight off the record - doing the same arrangement and the same key. If not, Audacity can change keys without changing the tempo (although going too far will sound a little weird). But then when your drummer needs to change the arrangement for no reason at all, a recorder of some sort will be a big help. Not only to re-learn the arrangement, but also to keep track of your progress. Then: Practicepracticepractice. And.....what are these 'charts' of which you speak?? -
