David,

When I play in a duo with my wife, I experience what you are talking about fairly intensely. For me, it has much more to do with getting the PA going and everything set up and being sure the ...

Very cool Tommy!

Bob P.

I have a Red Rajah bar. I liked the feel and slickness of it, but the coating started wearing. (Maybe it was the stainless steel string thing-I hadn't heard that before.) I think there is a recoating ...

Not to take away from all the incredible songs there are, but Randy Beavers' treatment of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is a favorite of mine as far as beautiful.

Bob P.

I have not been playing a very long time, but in the several years I have, I've tried 7/8", 15/16" and 1". They are good bars too. I thought I liked the larger sizes. Then, I bought a 7 ...

Charles,

Thanks for the reminder. Great site.

Hello Art and George (not to exclude a hello to everyone, but just mentioning you 2 because from what I can see so far you are the only CT guys on the thread).

I do.

I tend to think you did the right and reasonable thing to give him the $300. I agree that technically you probaby had a case just to have it returned to you. But, assuming the guy who bought it did no ...

Beautiful guitars. Congratulations!

Bob P.

Glad you made that comment about the price Ed. I did send Leo an email expressing interest. Hopefully there is a decent margin for him with a price that would keep everyone interested.

Jim,

I have to say that this was a pleasant surprise. I thought you were pretty die-hard into the Fenders (and non E9 for that matter) and I didn't catch that you were thinking of doing this. Glad yo ...

Thanks very much. Wish I could have gone.

Just to mention in case someone is newer and not aware of this. There is a good article by Jeff Newman in one of the 6 Steel Guitarist magazines (which you can get on the Forum!) about this topic of r ...

Mark,

I have a GFI (not the student model). I did see one when I was looking a few years ago. I didn't know anything, but it looked pretty nice, and I've read a lot of good things about them. I playe ...

I stumbled on that earlier today. I just watched it again. Totally awesome. I have a lot of respect/admiration for the guys like Ricky who are these monster players and just give of themselves to all ...

The Search function works well Del. Sometimes it's nice to ask and get fresh personal replies though.

Mark,

I don't have the problem you have, but I have the same guitar. From reading the posts it seems to make sense to buy the extra set of legs and rods so the original ones can be sold with the guit ...

Just wanted to add that rhythmic aspects of music have a great deal to do with the style played (of course). E9 can certainly get all the notes and all the rhythms.

But yeah, Purple Haze (like in the ...

I agree with Dean (and most of what has been written here also). I'm fairly certain it is what the notes in a chord are, and not which octave they happen to occur in that matters. So the 1-2-3-5 menti ...

Anyone who knows better please give input on my interpretations here. I believe anytime the Ma7 is used in the chord, the Ma designation would follow the letter name of the chord.

Matt,

Congratulations! I've been interested in astronomy since I was a kid. About 10 years ago my interest peaked and I've been involved with local groups ever since. I can't say that I've ever had t ...

I bought 2 of the Ernie Ball bars when I started a few years ago. Then I bought the 1" Dunlop also as you did. I actually returned that one because it was scratched even when I got it. I replaced it w ...

Sounds like you may not solve the practice room problem easily.

2 thoughts. I like the amp stand idea. (The "V" could also help.) In my small practice room loaded with "stuff", I was getting too much ...
