Mathias76 asks "I have noticed that Brad and Matt play PRS. It's a very open question, but why did you choose them? I am in the market to buy a top quality guitar, and I keep flip-flopping between a PRS Custom 22/24 and a Les Paul Standard. I know the textbook answer is to "play both of them and see which one you like more," but I was wondering why YOU chose them. Thanks- Nathan" Another benefit of being a member of JamPlay is the video response section. Our expert staff fields questions from our members and provides video responses each week.

Giardja asks, "I am a beginner guitarist that happens to own three guitars. One is a classical guitar; the other two are steel string guitars with different neck shapes, neck widths and scale lengths. (One of the steel string guitars has a “D”” shape neck with a 1.8” wide nut width and the other has a “V” shaped neck with a more traditional 1.7” wide nut width). Can you comment on the advantages or disadvantages of practicing and learning with different guitars? Will this hinder or help my progress?" View Response

Talc - May 26th, 2008 (1 minutes, 25 seconds)

Freakinrican77 asks, "My hands tend to get sweaty at times and it tends to effect my ability to switch chords. If I use talk on my hands to absorb the sweat, could it damage my guitar? I shoot pool a lot so I figured I might be able to use talc in this situation too." View Response
