Haha. Thanks!

Been hanging hard in the newbie area and about forgot this post!

What company is stateside to purchase items like nuts? Ive looked on amazon and ebay and i swear they are all shipped from another country. Ive been to all of our 3 major stores here and notta. :(

Picked up 3 Dunlop Primetone 1.5 triangles today. So far....so good. Really feels better and I have better control.

I've got 1 where the cover touched the strings, well...it did until I fixed that but the tail piece does touch the wood. Strings aren't coming down perfectly off the bridge to it either. Next time I...

As usual Brad, your site has a ton of beginner information thats easy to follow.

Thanks for sharing it!

I've wondered about that. I can slow down and play it perfect. As I speed up I can see my fingers going to the right fret and correctly. Thanks!

I was geared to tell him what I thought were my weaknesses. He agreed and said I'm going to be great to teach being that the musician in me is able to identify things. Yea....I'm happy as can be.

Well, I finally got my first lesson last night and I'm completely happy with the teacher and how things went!

Having a good ear for music all my life but never really playing strings other then a...

I'm buying an assortment for different days. Can't help ya on this one. I have a pick thread under this thread. :)

What book is this so I can avoid it.

Swear eh. Lol.

I'm gonna try a few different ones. I have a lesson tomorrow and maybe they will let me test drive some. Thanks

What is the advantages to using a Fender or Dunlop traingle pick versus smaller ones. I am having a hard time keeping the normal size picks in my fingers. Would a larger one such as the triangle ones...

Im more confussed and educated now than ever...and I haven't even had my first lesson. Lol.

Great thread though!

Thank you pops!

I should have googled that first
Bad day here with my wife having her 2nd kidney stone in 5 months and has fybromyalga. Fybro is bad enough and these stones are a nightmare with it. Just not...

I've been reading a few threads and was wondering about the wire. Is this a hardware store type of buy and cut them to size?

I was given yet another freebie that needs a nut and frets ....why not...

I'll second that and Brad Laird's lessons are great too.

I wanna say Old Lonesome Home I've heard before. I was a rock guy but have always loved all music. Bluegrass has interest me for a long time. I'll look into to that tune. Thanks for the suggestion!

Rob sent me my copy last weekend. I've read it but yet to take the plunge. Written very well and he explains things so a monkey could understand.

All the help I've gotten here has been great!...

Haha. My father in law would agree!!

Great info!!!

Moderator, I can understand that but exactly where was the first one?

As I've seen quite a few other jokes I took it as ok. I'm an administrator on a fishing forum and unless it just pure dirt we...
