How do you know when it's time to tune your bagpipes?

Buy a chromatic tuner (Electronic Device), available at music stores. This will tell you if your bagpipes are out of tune. Then, tune them using the appropriate tools.\n\nNate

When I sing Evanascence songs, I make sure to take a deap breath before notes that I know are going to be long, powerful, or need to be loud.  Then just make sure that you bring it "up" from your diaphragm.  Don't use your throat, you'll be hoars in no time.  Bring the air up and push it out .  Make it feel like like you are soaring on top of the note, not struggling to reach it from beneath.\nA head tone is that high pitch that when you sing it you can feel it resonate through your head.  Not usually as pretty.  At least that is what I take it to mean.

try tuning the bottom head as loose as it can while still holding on firmly, then tune the top head until you get a pure sound...your toms should be tuned to some kind of progression, like...the tones should be 4 semitones apart, then 3, then 5, and so on...

start off by just going through a scale you know. just pick the root, 3rd and 5th. the trick is timing. start on the low E string, and pick the root note, but dont stop the picking motion until your pick is resting on the next string. then, make sure you kill the note you just hit at the same time you push the pick past the next string. you're not really picking again, you're just continuing the motion you've already got going. they'll sound super clean if you start slow and make sure that you're only letting one ring at a time. gradually as it feels more natural, you can go a little faster.\n\nwhen you get that down, change directions. eventually you can add in some slides, hammer-ons, etc.

Because of the timing of the waves traveling through the metal and the waves in the air. Each tuning fork is designed for the frequency at which it resonates. The timing of the arrival of the waves from one side to the other allows the metal to compress and extend in time with the waves. The only thing which slows the fork's vibrations significantly is the resistance of the air and the energy lost to broadcasting the sound.

Once you raise or lower the action on a bass, you need to check the intonation.  That is, the distance between the nut and the bridge.  If this is off, you can tune your instrument all day and it won't sound right when played with others.  To do this:\n\n1. adjust the action of your strings\n2. tune your instrument using a digital tuner\n3. on each string, fret the 12 fret and make sure it's in tune.  If not, adjust the intonation using a screw driver at the back of the bridge (a screw is usually connected to the saddle that a string sits on and turning it one way or another will shorten or lengthen the strings "distance" to the nut).\n4. Retune your bass\n5. Do 3 & 4 until intonation is properly set\n\nIf you're trying to fix a buzzing problem, raising the strings may not be the answer; your neck may be "bowed" back or too flat.  A properly setup bass has a slight forward bow to it which eliminates most buzzing.  This bow is managed using the instruments truss rod, a metal rod extending down the length of neck from the headstock to the body.  By turning it one way or the other, you can increase (bow back) or decrease (bow forward) the tension on the neck.  Each bass has it's own criteria for setting this up, so you should consult with the manufacturer.  Also, if you've never done this before, I would highly recommend having someone do it for you and have them explain how it's done.  Properly setting up a bass is combination of science and feel; an error can cause damage to your instrument and, worst case, snap the neck.

Whatever you can play and sound good doing it. Also you and your mates must be comfortable with the style.

Very Carefully...\nIn short it depends on what key you're going for.\nI found these at a tuning website\n8 String Fourths   F# B E A D G C F     \n8 String Standard   F# B E A D G B E     \n8 String Hunter   E A D A D G B E   \n\nIn addition to this, this page\nhttp://www.well.com/user/wellvis/tuning.html#8string\nhas a nice selection of 8 string tunings, hope it helps.

changing a stratacoustic's strings:\n\n1- unwind old strings so that they're loose. cut them in the middle if you want to make them shorter/easier to deal with while throwing them away.\n\n2- pop out pins from bridge, and take out the strings.\n\n3-put new string balls in line with the holes, and use the pegs to guide them into the bridge. make sure the groove in the pin is pointing toward the neck of the guitar.\n\n4- put the strings up through the tuning pegs.\n\n5- put your hand on the neck, UNDER the strings. turn your hand so that its in the position you'd use to "karate chop" the guitar. now, spread your fingers apart (this step ensures you'll have enough extra string to wrap around the tuners, different ppl use different amounts. i like to not have too much extra.).\n\n6- tune guitar to pitch.\n\n7 - you'll probably notice that your guitar will go out of tune as you're tuning, or for the first 20 minutes or so as you play. thats the strings stretching. if you just lightly tug the strings before you start and retune them, that will go away faster. you may need to repeat that step a few times.

Great question. Jam. That's the simple answer. Have them get together and play something slow like a blues in 12/8 time (a la Stevie Ray Vaughn) and pass off solos every 2 or 3 times through the pattern. Everyone will start listening closer, because they will have to ultimately take a solo (sorry bro, i would just lay down the drum beat and not solo). Once everyone is listening more and really FEELING the music that they play, find rock songs that they really understand and feel. Jam everytime before you play and you will have a tight band in no time!\n\n- 12 year musician
