Fred -

For my hand position, I found the ProPik "Reso" picks to be angled the wrong direction. My picking hand (right hand) is turned slightly to the left (counter clockwise). I've found that the r ...

Thank you for all the excellent information. With this help, my wife Lynn was able to correct the problem she was having (an issue with a filter setting). She asked me to thank you all for your help ...

My wife is having a problem with Outlook on her work computer. When she opens a new e-mail, reads it, and then just closes it, it disappears completely. Not in any folder or the delete file - it's j ...

This idea has crossed my mind several times, so I'll just toss it out there. What if you use a microphone for your "main" sound and then setup a simple personal in-ear monitor system for the dobro on ...

Good information - thanks a bunch guys!

Alot of PA mixers have a single switch for phantom power and when turned on will apply the voltage (let's say 48 volts) to all the mixer's channels. My question is if I have a condensor mic in channe ...

"I'll do the whine if you cut the cheese!"

How about Ric Flair on American Idol - I'd like to see him kick the crap out of Ryan Seacreast. WHOOOO!!

I think Bo will win over Carrie.

Yup, what Mark said!

This is well worth every cent: a great way to spend two days with one of best reso teachers going. Tons of material to take back home and work on - excellent for any playing lev ...

Let's bump this one up. I'd like to hear more about this too. An interesting design.

Ray - I know what you mean. Maybe we have already talked about all the really good stuff already (several times). Maybe we have started to "lurk" more then we used to do. Sometimes I find myself wan ...

Hey Al -

Yep, alot of good times in Northern Wisconsin way back when. Man, I'm still working on the intros you showed me 30 years ago! Take care old friend.

I'd buy the same Carter D10 I bought last year. It's as good of a guitar as my simple mind can imagine. Heck, I'm not worthy of this guitar - what am I going to do with a $6000 steel. Probably be a ...

Some reso players might consider the $45-50 range straps as the cheap ones. Bobby Poff makes wonderful custom straps that start around $120 and go up from there.

I use a Webb 2" strap with a quick-r ...

I like some of the changes at the Opry. Shaking things up every once in awhile can be a good thing. Let the marketplace decide if it's good or bad. The programing will follow the money.
