Let's spread some musical misinformation

One of the funnier practical jokes that get played regularly is supergluing the guitarists amp knobs at 1. Guitarists never tire of the joke.

You don't need glue. You just add an extra 1 with a sharpie next to the 1 and they will naturally 'turn it up to 11'. It's the only way I know to get a guitarist to turn down, except presenting them with a 5W amp with a 'goes to 11' knob to replace their 50W amp.

For those of us who can't seem to acquire that perfect tone (Yes, I said "us". I'm one):

Instead of trying one new set of pickups after another and spending gobs of money on new amps. and effects pedals, listen to the experts.

Hold your hands up near your ears. "Everyone" knows: "Tone is in the fingers".

You may not need to replace pickups, when you can just replace fingers!
