Hello–I am wondering wat the best beginner guitar and where to get free tabs and the BEST way to learn OTHER than lessons (too expensive). Thanks!

"Acoustic guitar" signifies NOTHING to me you have to be more specific!!

There are 3 types you see, classical, flamenco and steel. You need to specify which.

Anyway, steel is for people who are too stupid to understand complicated classical or flamenco music and is really really easy to learn just go to isohunt.com.

Classical and flamenco are for more intelligent people who can understand complicated music and require a teacher. They are very very hard and take about 12 years to bee just good at them.

Usually fractions are compared by making the denominators the same and comparing the numerators. Are there any circumstances where it would be easier to make the numerators the same and compare the denominators, or is the first way always better?

Using denominators is confusing, since there’s an inverse proportional relationship. (i.e. the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction).

The numerator has a direct proportional relationship (i.e. the bigger the numerator, the bigger the fraction).

Therefore, it is quicker, easier, and less likely to cause mistakes when you use the numerator to compare fractions.

Hope that helps!

I am new to the car audio seen and just bought a new pair of Pioneer 6×9" speakers that are 400W peak power and 80W nominal. I do not know what I have here in means of power. Could someone please explain or show me where I can find what all of the numbers and stuff mean when it comes to playing with speakers, amps and subs? And what kind of AMP is recommended to get the most out of these bad boys?? My front speakers are currently Pioneers as well. They are 220W max power and 50W nominal. Here is a link to the 6×9"s on the web:

Here are the front speakers:

Thank you to everybody who attempts to help this lost audio nebie.
What does it mean when it says this for specs on an AMP?
2 x 150 watts RMS at 2 ohms stereo
2 x 100 watts at 4 ohms stereo

let me break it down for you easy
RMS means thats what the speaker well hit with no distortion or getting heat up in other words clean music and sound .. and peak means its max as in the moust amount it can take but it has distortion as in sounds nasty thats on speakers now on amps rms is what the amp is going to give you max means thats all the amp well give you but can sound realy nasty example
400 watts rms @ 4 ohms
800 watts rms @ 2 ohms
1000 watts max @ 1 ohm
ok so you see if you wire your system to hit at 4 ohms you gonna get 400 watts RMS period dont matter if the amp says 1000000 watts on the box if the manual say it thats what your getting and running of music…. and the ohms are the type at 4 ,6 and 8 ohms your gonna get more bass and less noise 2,1 ,1.5 ohms you gonna get more noise(voice, rythem and highs on the music) less bass.
so ppl get there things all mix up saying they are running 4000 watts systems and all that.. when realy they are running like 1000 or so only SPL competitions have realy large amounts of power. unless they know what they are doing .

adjectives that can form comparisons in both ways:

adj+ER THAN and MORE adj THAN?

example:

nearer than and more near than

Is there a list?

More near than is incorrect.

I am looking at 2 specific models, they are both slide-in gas ranges with downdraft systems built in, but one has an electric convection oven and the other is gas. Both have gas cooktops. Model #’s are JDS9860BD & JGS9900BD
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Check with your library. Mine has copies.

I am looking at purchasing two new 140 hp outboards for a 25′ bayliner trophy and would like feed back as to their performance and lifespan.

either subscribe to the magazine or go to the library!

In the world of genetics, I’m not sure about this.
Why are there more varieties of genotypes and phenotypes for hair color in comparison to face shape?

Maybe because they have more alleles?

That’s almost definately the EXACT reason.

I came across an awesome tennis raquet, but it said it was meant for players with a rating between 5.0-6.0. How do I find out what rating I am?

The United States Tennis Association used to publish a rating guide….you used be able to closely rate yourself…..unless you are from Corpus Christi, Tx….all of their players fall at least 1-2 tiers from their actual ability…..and they win all the time….."go figure"….seriously, haven’t played tennis competively….could never seem to get passed the Corpus district……check with USTA…maybe they have a web site and might have the ratings on it…….really don"t worry……..unless you have been playing a really long time the type of racket does"t matter…..get a good reasonably priced one and then after you really get serious or better then you can think about upgrading…..besides, by that time you may have a "Nike" or "Wilson" endorsement contract and you will have to play with what they furnish you……"good luck on the tour"

It seems impossible that all of the consumer goods that are on sale to the public at any given time are all going to be sold to an end user. What happens to all of these goods if they are not ultimately purchased by individual consumers?

well i guess they go on sale, and if they still arent sold they get distributed to less densely popluated areas and less well-off countries i guess.

Then they get send to other countries. I mean stuff that’s sold in US now as the latest season, gets release at a later date at other countries. Sometimes it could be as far as a year after. So the stock itself is distributed around.

Other stuff gets recycled and regenerated as new products, I guess :D

Ok, YouTube is now under site maintenance, and I recieved an email from them saying that I had a comment on one of my videos. When I followed the link to the video, it said that the ratings and the comments had been disabled. I know that I definitely didn’t disable them, so what happened? Did somebody hack into my account or is that something YouTube does when it’s under site maintenance? Please help!

it always says that when youtube is being mantained
