Didn't Chris change his favorite pick at least few times in the last decade? Each time his fans con verted to the new "better" pick. I remember discussion about CT and his white wegen, later CT...

The old Forum software has been reinstalled. But I wasn't done meddling just yet. I saw some things in the other version and decided they had their place here so changes have occurred in the...

I know I used to feel that way. When I first started using an electronic tuner i wondered if i was substituting eyes for ears. My experience is, first of all, that no tuner is accurate enough to...

Thanks Polecat!

This is about as good an intro as there is.

This is the book I got. I have not tried any other book, but I found this one to be great.

It's actually a pretty impressive work of music (I know, that'll get me kicked off certain fora I frequent) but I doubt if anyone recognized it ... you probably got booted for the excessive loud...

I have two Suzuki Bowlbacks, one with a maple back the other with a rosewood back. I really like the sound of the rosewood one with Dogal Calace strings, but the maple one, which had D'addario 009s...
