    I ended up grabbing a bud, Paul Barrell to come play with me. Awesome guy. I did the same pub again last night. We got started late... like 9pm. not our fault. Bartender told the bass player I invited (also plays acoustic guitar) there was no music so he went home mad. The PA was being used by...

One is for bands and the other is acoustic type duos and such... well I have 2 bands now and am doing a duo with...

    I don't use the autotune on the vlt. I think of cher (do you believe...) when I hear it. too fake. I want to know if I am singing out of tune, just like missing notes on your instrument.... then you need to practice and get it. I think of the harmonizer as an effect like for harmonies other...

    I am using my voicelive touch for single work and even filling in higher harmonies or octaves above my voice. vlt is much the same except it mounts on the mic stand so I can change stuff. It is a very realistic harmony

    oh I agree but tonal quality from wood is more for acoustic instruments. electrics are affected more by pickups... sure you can get sustain with denser woods. I built an octave mandolin from a "kit". it was a big job that I sped through and learned how hard it is to do bindings and purflings...
