At 63YO, some skeletal issues have made me revisit the instrument. As I discovered when I took up mandolin, the overlaps with armpit guitar (in this case, slide technique) exist but I am trying to avoid using as crutches. These would include playing only blues rock licks, 6 string chords, etc.
A lowly Rogue in C6 is kicking my butt but the few moments when I am (nearly) at pitch are joyful. Familiarity with that tuning will remain my goal but I want to start practicing our set list with another in open D/E. I have two Teisco partsacasters that I plan on pressing into service, and extension nuts are due in tomorrow.
Actually using my lap is not a great option for my spine and I am trying to imagine a portable stand/console that would allow me to swap a guitar in and clamp it.
Ideas? I have little faith in the Rogue legs, so in a prefect world the clamps would allow the both Teisco slab bodies and the RLS. I am a hobbyist and am not looking for something 'gig-able'. Rework a walker?
And to any Teisco purists, they are my favorite two electric guitars in the world but have been hogged out many decades ago and hold no collector value.
