Number 8

Set it and forget it.

Since most all new guitars are all pull, it's in the changer mechanism. Change the rod from the top section to the bottom and it will lower instead of raise (or vice versa IDK). I don't understand it, ...

I got them a couple years ago, and enjoyed them quite a bit.

Aside from the great content of course, the writing style, ads, look and feel of it really brought back memories of magazines I read as ...

You want it to work perfectly so you concentrate on learning it. I started on a GFI and stays in tune like crazy-haven't even looked underneath in 6 years. Then bought a new Mullen, also works well. ...

A set of eyes, 30 yrs or younger. Switch them out like that movie-Minority Report-or however you want to do it; that's going to help you A LOT.

It is "The thing that should not be".

Hey Jeffrey my hat is off to you as well.

I've degrees in music and been in years of theory classes but like you and the flute, playing tuba professionally for nearly 30 years, it's all single note ...

Yes I did enjoy HI! Took our kids to same vacation we did on our honeymoon 20 years ago big island only. Yes it is a special place.

So to be clear, I believe standard is:

RKL raises 1 a whole step, 2 a half step, and 6 down a whole step.

RKR lowers 2 a whole step with a half stop feel in-between, and lowers 9 a half step. An ...

Hi Shea, another two cents from me, having about 6 years into playing PSG.

From hearing about you, I would say buy something modern (new) and standard-not student but not top end either. Don't worr ...

Hey I did just the other night. In ears not available and I felt everything was too loud. I do have the Soundbrenner minuendo adjustable kind, but the super cheap ones is what I used (musician ear plu ...

This position has been open for a while, after Henry Johns (superb player) decided to move onward.

Coincidentally, my band is adding this and we are rehearsing it tomorrow. We are looking at the version with John Prine and Kelsey Waldon singing. I had never heard of it before. I will study this one ...

But on the other hand-after a show SO many folks come to say how they love (and miss) a steel guitar OR are so interested in that thing they are curious about-while the guitar player packs up alone.

I'm about 6 years in, and did this constantly. I still have nails for guitar, and I first tried to have them bend up and meet a little beyond where the nail was. Then after looking at a couple peoples ...

Cabinet drop is when you press pedals down and it bends the guitar body so slightly that the other strings go flat. Like on a regular guitar if you pushed forward on the neck and held the body. I woul ...

Looking at the bottom it is overtuned. Mine looked like that when I tried to split tune 4th string pedal whole tone raise with LKR half step lower. I need to figure out how to make that work but when ...

This is in my backyard, I planted it maybe 17 years ago. Not even close can I get my arms around it. Grows so fast, water sprouts can reach 12' in a year. Kids had a swing on it but I'm not crazy abou ...

Never did it, never will (easy for me to say; I don't have a business). To me it's one of the things that is wrong with the world.

Been to China twice, bought several instruments, really researched about them (I know it's not China) but never ever seen that!! And of course it's a thousand years old!

Really cool stuff, thank yo ...

Doe-no-why... but I was just waiting for "Classical Gas" to break out at any moment. Smile

Seriously, the playing technique and the feeling you put into your performance was very appealing. ...

So glad this kind of music is still a thing. It really is the best.

It's like having a 440 Charger but swapping a 318 because you don't want the power or want better fuel economy-doesn't make sense to me either.

Yes chrome is the hardest metal. I use BJS bars. I also have a light one, 6.7 OZ maybe. You can too, just ask.
