Move over small dog, the MSA's moving in!

That made my day. Thanks.

Shubb's GS bar has a wood handle, but the business end (where the bar touches the strings) is SS. Makes for a lighter bar that's easier to grip, and warmer to the touch.

A lot cheaper at Sweetwater ...

Are you a turtle?

I know you said non-Hawaiian, but Sebastian M's arrangement of Sand, in high bass A or G (and a swing tune in my opinion) relies heavily on reverse slants on the 2nd and 3rd string, which is the first ...

Interesting serendipity. The same day this post was made(12/17), Troy Brenningmeyer posted a Youtube video showing the I-ii-iii-IV-V7-vi and VIIdim chords, all on one fret. He also produced some inter ...

Orbison was always my favorite singer, but this is not one of my favorite songs by him. Dare I say, I like your version better. You nailed it!

Thanks, Andy. I agree, that's a beautiful song. I enjoyed the tab.

... The original version of Dream A Little Dream Of Me modulates to the key of the b3 for the chorus by dropping down a whole step from the tonic and using that b7 chord as the V7 for the new key:

The youtube description says the band is "Redbone." So, no, it's not James Burton. But they're great, aren't they?

Yes. But not completely. I'm 83 and have Parkinson's, which affects coordination, and causes tremors. I was never that good on PSG, but have always enjoyed noodling around with it. I still do.

Really great! Nice arrangement.

The code worked for me. Picks arrived Monday. I still can't play like Franklin Laughing

I like the picks, but I've gotten used to Acri picks, so I'll have to give them a longer test period.

I need that! Cool

My copy just arrived. Very Happy

You've put a lot of work into this. Now I have to get to work.

Thanks Mike!

My Snark fits on my Rogue just fine.

Thanks, Ricky. That makes sense.

Slim,

Great photo! Thanks, I wasn't able to get a good shot.

I use Scotch-Brite pads to smooth the area and then polish it with metal polish I use mothers.
Scotch-Brite doesn't take any metal off, like any kind of sanding will.

I wish mainstream Country Music would have evolved in Sierra's direction. Also, love her harmonizing with Raul Malo.

That sounds great! I hope your Imperial does as well.

And, don't forget Satchmo's 1931 recording with Jimmie Rodgers "Blue Yodel #9." Louis was in on the birth of Country Music.
