Do not be fooled by electronic drums

March 13, 2018

Electronic drums have limited pitch and tonal capabilities. They are much less expressive and compare very poorly to acoustic drums. They are a gimmick and a toy. Do not buy them. Do not use them.

The sound of a guitar

December 16, 2017

Welcome to Xaviers' Guitar Blog. Here we will explore the world of sound and music and dance. Through theory and practical tips we can become creators and produces of art. It is important to modify your guitar to get the sound you really want from it. Acoustic guitars have a sound given by the wood, metal and the polymer materials from which they are made. The materials and construction can be modified to get the true sound you are wanting to hear. Changing the strings, the nut, or the bridge may be helpful. Changing the thickness of the struts on the sound board. Changing the scratch plate or painting on the sound board has an effect. Or get a different guitar. These are just suggestions, you may come up with other ways to modify your sound. The point is: to get the sound you need to hear when you need it.
