thanks guys- all great ideas. I'm really lazy with the BC pedals- use them for my minor sounds, ascending diatonic runs and turn arounds (the 1-2 frets up with BC and back down), but I feel like ther ...

Now that I've been playing a couple years, I feel I'm kind of stuck in a rut, in terms of my vocabulary...just feel like I'm playing a lot of very standard, uninteresting moves...I guess the best way ...

oh wow. never even knew that position. brilliant

eh...I don't think I even had that before..or at least didn't know how to tune it...I usually half levered it. I need to get more mechanical and learn this instrument... I wouldn't mind half leverin ...

On another note- I think this might be a good opportunity to switch RKL from lowering 6 to raising 7 instead (along with raising 1 and 2, which is already does). Thoughts?

Thanks for all the help - I gotta pick up an unwound 6th string today.

On a positive note, the new strings are making my guitar sound incredible! I was long overdue.

Thanks so much!

Hmmm. It is a wound...can't remember what was on the old one. I bet that's it. Do I just have to change to an unwound?

So, I went nearly two years without ever changing strings, except as they broke (so, really, only 1-4).

I changed all the strings tonight, and my LKL lever that lowers 6 a full tone does not seem t ...

I'm in Astoria, and would me most certainly down for a jam sometime

Thanks

I lost my tuning wrench...sorry for such a dumb quetsion, but what are the dimensions on the nylon tuner ends? Is it 3/16ths?...I gotta pick up a temporary fix at the hardware store. Thanks in advanc ...

Bob- did you get rid of the GFI? You'd don't need the E to F anyways...lloyd green style.

I have a Truetone with a coil tap in my GFI. Absolutely love it.

Ha. Definitely not. Astoria has its perks.

I have private roof area that is about 700 sq. ft...so if it was a nice day and people wouldn't mind going outside, I could organize something. Otherwise, maybe we could organize at a bar one night, f ...

Do NYC area PSG players ever meet up for jams? I haven't seen anything on the forum, and I have no idea of the size of the community (new to NYC). Thanks

Seriously. Love his pickups. I have one with a coil tap in my GFI. Wonderful tone.

To my ears, the tone will be clearer, tighter, brighter, and more ...

You're probably right....but look at the two-tone!
Whoa!

Seriously though, the Sideman looks pretty awesome for what I'm looking for.

So, my goodrich volume pedal has been a little scratchy. I decided to play without it for a little. I was shocked how much better my guitar sounded going straight through. So much clearer. What co ...

I haven't had a chance to read every post in here, but it seems like a great thread.

Sweet. Thanks so much. I love the sound of these types of passing chords. I get stuck too often in the stock fills...and forget to and these low note, full soundeding chords.

At 28 seconds--I hear it all the time. A and B with E's lowered? What do you call that?
