If you’ve just gotten your electric guitar and want to get that “sound” then you’ll need to add a few effects pedals. There are three main effects that electric guitarists use, distortion, delay, and chorus. There are others but those are the “big three”. Distortion is familiar to everybody, it’s that raw “crunchy” sound you think of when you think of electric guitars. Delay is like a small discreet echo. It makes it sound a little like what every you play is being doubled by another player. Chorus is similar to delay, it takes your your sound splits it, delays one side and adds some vibrato to it. The effect is like many voices vs. one voice. The overall general effect is to make your sound thicker. You can probably do without distortion at first, because you can get the sound with your amp. Chorus would probably be the second thing to get, to beef up the amp sound, and delay would be next. After that if you don’t like the sound of your distortion you can always get a distortion pedal.
Before I came here on vacation I had never thought of having a glass top dining table, but since I’ve been wandering around in the French Quarter, I’ve had several epiphanies. The people in this town really know how to decorate with imagination. I’ve walked into several patios with bubbling fountains where I’ve seen glass tables surrounded by ferns. Very cozy spots to have coffee and beignets. Another thing you see a lot of in the French Quarter are strip clubs–you know, like ‘take off your clothes’ clubs. I don’t mean antique furniture stripping. I had a couple peeks into the Naked Kitten and my curiosity had been aroused. My wife said she wanted to take a nap before we went out later so I figured this was my opportunity. The Naked Kitten had just opened. I was lucky to get a front row seat. An exotic young woman was dancing on top of a round glass table in the middle of the stage. Suddenly there was a loud cracking sound and the table split.
