1. It's not only the bending - the whole playing proccess was so stupidly tough with those 013's that it didn't make any sense to keep on trying and not enjoying it.

    I use Tortex as well, but they're not the only picks I use. In fact, I play with whatever pick I get hold off, although my favorites are 0.73mm Jim Dunlop USA Nylon and Dunlop Max Grip Jazz III (thick but amazing to get Edge's Herdim-like special grit and chim, in case you can't or don't want to buy Herdim picks).
  2. Does anyone know a place where I can get some free drum tracks/loops to jam over? I've scoured YouTube and played over all of the decent rock ones posted there. I'm looking for something that isn't MIDI, if possible.

    I also unfortunately don't have GarageBand.
  3. Ahhhhhh thank you bunches

    I found one I hadn't tapped into on YouTube yet and it happened to be the PERFECT tempo (120 bpm) for the project I'm working on now....check "Songs You've Written" later today

    I'm waiting.

    I think Line6 has loops on their website. I think maybe you had to have a product registered to use them.
  5. I feel like buying a guitar (again), this time, a steel stringed one with built-in mic system so that I can plug it in.

    Anyone with some more knowledge than me want to explain the advantages and disadvantages with a solid spruce top?

    Also, Cort CJ1F, a nice guitar?
  6. I tend to avoid Cort's, but it might be more of a personal dislike rather than a reasonable argument.
  7. Why do you dislike them?
  8. Feeling. Others dislike Ibanez's or Epiphone's, I dislike Cort's. Specially the electrics.
  9. Friend got a Gibson Les Paul the other day. The dream guitar since before we could even play guitar. It most definitely did not disappoint.
