Complete Guide To Forming A Band Part #4

What a night... a few more hrs and it's time to 'pay back' time to the stupid poolice/gahmen/watever shit u call it, like we ever owe them anything in the first place. Which friggin idiot thought of all these boring turd to waste my time man.
Anyway, i'll skip 2 parts since it's about finding the right person for the right job and some mentality thingy again. So tonight will be Part IV: 'We Need A Backline'. This section appears to be targeted for guitar players.

1) Don't panic if you only have an entry level guitar. As long as it stays in tune and doesn't buzz too much, it will do the job.

2) You'll need to have an amp at least 40 or 50 watts to really start jamming seriously. (Mm.. not too sure about this, Beez can create havoc with 15w...)

3) Make sure you choose the right amplifier for the style of music that you want to play. (For those of us who visits studios.. dun think got much choices anyway.)

4) In most circumstances, a valve amp will give you a better guitar tone. (Is it?)

String Gauge Recommendations
Metal: Custom Lights 9-46
Punk/Hard Rock: Medium 10-46
Pop/Light Rock: Lights 9-42
Country: Custom Lights 10-46
Blues/Jazz: Heavy 11-52

The rest are quite a handful to summarize... so... decided not to summarize. Can go get the mag in local bookshops. Weird... but i think i still see it in smoe bookshops. Really...
