There are guitars (guitar case) too big to carry when you're on a motorcycle?
I know this sounds stupid, but I wondered if possible? (Just one guitar, acoustic regular.)
I play guitar and motorcycles. I use a backpack style gig bag.

There is an avalanche of online guitar lessons offering information about how to play like your favorite group.
The dilemma for every guitarist is how to choose the best online guitar lesson, the lesson that will enable the guitarist to re-create the guitar sounds they hear on the original recordings.
One of the most popular groups of all time is undoubtedly the Rolling Stones. Along with the Beatles, Creedence and Led Zeppelin the Rolling Stones have stood the test of time. Each year new audiences discover and are enthralled by their music.
Guitarist Keith Richards is a master of creating unique guitar parts that immediately identify each song. The “art of all art”is knowing when to stop, Keith knows how to make effective use of musical space or silence. While most guitarist’s are busy filling up every musical hole at every opportunity Keith invites the listener into his world, consequently the audience never tire of hearing these songs.
To help you get started playing authentic versions of the Rolling Stones songs here’s 3 tips.
1. Learn to play three note chords in the second, third and forth strings of the guitar. These three chords are called triads and are a large part of the Rolling Stones trademark guitar sound.
Listen to the opening chords of “Start Me Up” or ” Brown Sugar” for examples of this style of chord playing.
For “Start Me Up”, play a “C” major triad as follows:

Play the note “G” on the fifth fret, forth string, play the note “C” on the fifth fret third string, play the note “E” on the fifth fret second string. Since all these notes are on the fifth fret you could easily play all the notes by making a barre chord with your first finger.
Incidentally this particular version of a “C” chord has a technical name. Musicians call this chord the second inversion of a C major triad. It’s useful to know the theoretical terminology to communicate with musicians who play other instruments e.g., piano, bass, trumpet etc.
2. Use standard guitar tuning. Despite the fact that Keith Richard’s uses a variety of ‘open’ tunings e.g., open “G” tuning consisting of: sixth string = D, fifth string = G, forth sting = D, third string = G, second string = B, first string = D. You can create the same sounds without re-tuning your guitar.
The big advantage with leaving your guitar in standard tuning is that you will naturally develop a better ‘ear’. This is because your ear will get to know where a particular sound comes from on
the guitar. If you keep re-tuning your guitar it will confuse your ear.
3. Play two note power chords on the third and forth strings. Listen to the opening chords of the original version “Honky Tonk Women” and you will hear a classic example of the type of sound I am referring to.
Try playing the third and forth stings open, strum both of these strings and you will be playing the first chords of “Honky Tonk Women”, this chord is called “G”.
Remember, just because it’s simple doesn’t mean that it’s not right. Simple works!
The trick is to pay attention to how Keith Richard “spaces” the chords, in other words listen to his rhythm.
With so many online guitar lessons it’s important to get off to the right start, it is so much harder to re-learn something once it’s ingrained in your brain.

Can someone give me some tips on how i my band can achieve a big sound?
I Use alot of distortion and a 75watt Randall R200 amp with a delay pedal (Boss) and a Digitech pitch shifter how can i achive a better guitar sound? Also the bassist has some solid bass lines and a brilliant 400watt twin cab amp but he plays clean and i am wondering how we could fatten these up.
Any help would be Greatly appreciated???
the trick is not so much in what you play but how..
do you have 2 guitarists?
first, the bassist should be playing with some distortion and with a pick for a fatter bass sound, unless you’re going for the popping flea or 311 or korn type of sound then i recommend he slap more.
as for you, try playing in drop d and using a lot of power chords. You may also want to try changing your strings?
I don’t know what you use now but if you want a fat rhythmic sound, the heavier the gauge the better…but with changing the strings comes careful planning with your tuning.
My bet is that you play in drop d and c tunings more and you’ll be able to achieve a more solid sound…
also try playing behind the beat (drummer) more than in front of it.
hope i helped…good luck
