Here I go again. Thanks
Sounds good to me. Thanks
Nice posting Matt. For all it's glory I will always think of you with your well worn Snakehead in hand.
I recently caught the last episode of Ken Burns Lewis and Clark and was intrigued by the fiddle rendition of Aaron Copelands Hoe-down (from his piece Rodeo). I've heard the piece before done in a...
A long time ago Lou Martin showed me how to shape a pro-plec rounded triangle 1.5. I usually lose the picks long before I'm done with them. When the edge gets feathered I just go back to the fine...
No advice here, but my sympathies. Years ago I owned a beloved Gurian Sr3 guitar. Had traded a Martin D35 for it in a New York minute after first hearing the Gurian. Anyway, I left the guitar on my...
Duane,
I can relate a we're the same age. It's just old enough that a sense of limits can overshadow your thinking...you have to fight this. I've played guitar now for over 50 years and picked...
D'andrea pro-plec, 1.5 large rounded triangular. Years ago Lou Martin showed me how to reshape to a softer(rounder) triangle using sandpaper and buffing with a piece of belt leather and No.7...
Anyone have advice as to microphone and attachment system. I do not have a pickgaurd and attach the strap at neck/ body area (tying under fingerboard). Would be great if I could move this rig to my...
This may be civered somewhere else or previously on this forum, but I'll ask anyway. I' interested in a clamp on condenser mic for my Collings A. It does not have a pickgaurd and I tie the strap...
I first heard Doc Watson on an album in 1971. I had been playing guitar for about eight years then. That first listening was a watershed moment in my life as a musician. I turned away from "popular"...
Apologies, there is continuous wood fiber in the moticed part of a dovetail joint assuming the tenon part is going into wood at a right angle, sorry. I am not coming down on either side of this...
I'll admit that what I offer is not an apples to apples comparison. I've been building new and repairing historic timber frames for over thirty years. Also built most of the furniture we live with,...
Any one have a good method of doing this? I've recently started using a new Collings and am frustrated with the loops coming off the pins while tightening up. On my older mandolin I would slide the...
This is a personal observation, but one that is guiding me away from f holed instruments towards an oval. In reality I spend vastly more time practicing and playing alone than in performance and I...
This may have no bearing on your situation, but since you asked. I have a 1996 Martin D-41 with figured walnut back and sides, 130 out of 150 made. I've owned three other Martins over the years and...
I'm not sure what that post might have been, but a little music theory tells you that these two chords are very closely related. The principal tones of the Em are E, G and B.The principal tones of...
I apologize if this topic has already been discussed. I'm looking for a sound system to be used by a group that would consist of guitar, mando and fiddle...some vocals and some use for music for...
