Good input. I really couldn't tell the difference either. And I am assuming that it will be even more difficult when I am actually playing with the rest of the group.

Ah, that all makes a lot of sense. I forgot about bottle neck.

I really like that index fingerpick thingy. That is a great idea. I am tired of trying to do a brush and launching a pick across the r ...

Thanx, gents for your feedback. It was helpful.

Now, John, that pic is begging for an explanation. The axe, the fingerpick in the front, no thumbpick?, why that bar? I am curious. And I would like ...

Curious why I would pick one over the other. I have always used nickel. Didn't even know brass existed. Then I dropped one of my finger picks between the slats of a deck. And it disappeared in the net ...

Rick Ai, thanks. I did get that backwards. I have read that doc on the Jon Ely page and still get cornfused! thanks again.

Gents,
Thanks for the help. I'm gonna go out and get some strings and try both tunings and the plain 4th string also. I'm guessing I should add on a few points for the longer Tonemaster scale (~26&qu ...

It's been a real long while since I have been here. But got fired up the other night after watching a pedal player at a local place here in Austin.

So I decided to put a better effort into my lap s ...

Hey Loren,
Thanx for the chords. That will help. Plus I realized that I taped and I can work from it ....if I can get it back from John.
thanx again,

Looking for tab or links for this song in the standard 6 string G reso tuning. Will take any tuning, but prefer G.

Can anyone describe what is meant by "punch"? Or a link to examples? I'm not sure I know what it is. But I'd bet I want some. Now remember I'm a newbie. So go gentle with me.

Gosh, Scott those basses are the goofiest, dangdest things I've seen. I really like the idea. Once you've seen it, you wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. Built-in intonation, cool idea.
Fred

I thought the same exact thing. But as I watched I noticed that it was the Str@t (I think) player and he just rotated his guitar to play slide. He even kept the slide on on one of the tuning pegs when ...

Last Fall, I bought a Crafter's Tennessean (model TTT like Mikey's). And I love it to death. I am a total newbie. So I had Erik Waynesmith look at it while he was in Austin for the Austin ResoFest. He ...
