Can you play individual or combinations of strings, and, can you bend notes/chords?

Matt, It's a combinations. As you see in the picture on the right side of the instrument, you slide your thumb or fingers on what looks like a grate. As you slide them it give the impression of a harp. If you tap your fingers in various places, it sounds like single strings but I don't what string name it is. The buttons on the left side are the chords, major, minor, 7th. It also come with a Melody keyboard overlay which I haven't learned as of yet. I don't know what bend notes/chords are but I have played to chords together if they were close enough. I still have a lot to learn. It does so much. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

Each chord button (or chord combo) causes the strum plate to have 3 notes of that chord repeated across four octaves. You can play each note individually or strum (or a combination) by lightly running your fingers along the strumplate. There's also something called the "Pitch Bend" (it's that silver knob on the outer edge of the Q) that lets you bend the sounds coming from the strum plate. Here's a picture to better illustrate: http://qchord.net/docs/features_map.htm .

Yes, but not all. Relative Minor Scales for G C and F, Eminor and A minor. Also as with any other Diatonic box you can "fake" quite a few other keys with missing notes. What are you intending to play??

No the algorithm used to determine what harmony note will be created is predicated on the chord signal in the guitar input. if you play your bass using multiple note chords it will work but most of the time you probably play one note at a time. a keyboard works and a guitar even a mandolin, but single note instruments will not change the harmony to make the overall chord voicing.

I would say that you can use this tuner on any string instrument as to tuning. Naturally the cords are for standard tuned guitars, electric or acoustic.

I wouldn't change them all at the same time if you have an acoustic. You could cause the soundpost inside to fall out of place. Personally, I'd only replace the broken string, unless you have cheap ones on. Either way change them one at a time.

I believe you can layer as many as you want. The first loop will determine the length for the rest, so if you want to loop an 8 bar melody over a 4 bar chord progression you would have to record the progression twice through in order for the next loop to be that long.

Good question! I have no musical instruments so can't say. The reasonable price in my opinion makes it worth the try.

Firstly, I'm assuming you know that strings are traditionally numbered from bottom to top, smallest to largest. Secondly, I don't know anybody that sells individual strings. Typically, even if they did, it would do no good, as the strings will not sound good unless they are all fresh and clean and very similar to each other. Believe me, you mix new and worn (stretched) strings together, you're likely to make dogs howl and people with good pitch perception cringe!

Hey Coop, I am not sure but it's one string at a time 440 tuning... does guitar, bass, uke and violin.

It has a pitch bend strip so my answer is yes. You can play through guitar amp just watch the bass notes.

there aren't any components in extension chords, so they should make no difference (assuming they aren't absurdly long)

I don't see why not, but the bass might be a bit heavy. You could probably get by with the guitar version.

Should be able to! You can use an amp. These guitars sound great hooked up to an amp!!

Yes, all keys work and you can play more than one key at a time...I was playing chop sticks from the movie big (tom hanks) and it sounded great!

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

The "C" string is the thicker of the two. Now go and play some tunes. Good luck

I returned it, was not happy with the chords, I cannot recall, but I think yes. Sorry.
