There is no need to keep posting the same thing, it certainly doesn’t help in getting responses.

Here is a similar thread from 2015...

Just a note to thank all who have been involved for making the pick sampler project successful, from Caleb, who got it all started, to all who have participated, all who have donated, and all who...

Ethan, Rick - you’re both added to the list.

Our Pick Sampler #2 is on its way to the UK right now, so this is an excellent time for folks across the pond from the yanks to sign up to receive the sampler.

There is no cost to participate...

I believe that there are many apps for flash cards that kendor could find, to answer the original question. I believe the best would be one that requires you to develop your own questions. The task...

I’ve used Justin’s videos a great deal over the years he’s been online. I’m all about giving credit where credit is due. I think Dan’s choice of words was unfortunate, but otherwise, he’s definitely...

Wow, Dan, that’s like some *really* strong opinion, lol. I couldn’t disagree more.

But I do like Justin’s work a great deal. Also have a lot of respect for Marty Schwartz.

I disagree with your...

Final answer: What is a tater bug?

The site owner removed them for good reasons, and explained all this when the removal occurred. Use the search feature if you’re curious. And the OP, Billy Packard, is aware of this.

Editing to...

It can be tough to make sense of it all. But the idea that you have to play something perfectly without mistakes before moving on is a bit of a fallacy. I doubt many people can play things perfectly....

I didn’t exactly miss it Bill, after I posted that comment, I realized that you had qualified what you said and that my comment wasn’t really fair. No offense, the truth is that I don’t think it’s a...

I agree, you can find a serviceable beginner instrument in a Dirty 30’s, or even a Washburn, though if you can afford either a Kentucky or Eastman, go for one of those. Be sure to buy from a place...

Interesting read, thanks!

Zen, breathing, all that. It’s easy to say “relax” but difficult to practice it.

I’m no fireball either; also, not wise nor greatly experienced, but I agree with what “they” say about relaxing....

My vote for the best answers thus far:

That’s sound advice, I haven’t had an opportunity to play a Red Diamond. But still, I’d be more likely to lay the success of one at the feet of Dan himself; that is, to Macrostie’s lutherie skills...

Aged-tone … What does that even mean? Tough enough to define “tone” much less aged-tone. So, do you believe in it? Is it a real thing?

Torrefication is a real process, we know that, but does...

Example would be helpful. But here are some things to bear in mind. First, you don’t have to play a piece of music exactly as written. Second, in the case you describe, if I really wanted to play...

Also, I’ll add that I never had an unhappy buyer … but if I had, I would have accepted a return. In fact, I’d accept one back today if it were in the same condition. They can’t be replaced for what I...

Thanks for sharing your musical journey. I was a very active member of the newbies group here for a few years, and had noticed your earlier participation there, and of course have seen many of your...

I had a tough decision between the AD-10 and the Tonebone PZ Pre. Both get really high marks. In the end, I went for the tonebone. I realize it may not be my last preamp purchase, because it would...

Tune in question: https://youtu.be/1Ys1Ewa555s?si=u-OKbIC11lI-FLyn

Yes I get confused on up down in out left right these days, it’s pretty neat

It should be noted that a final setup is not (and should not) be done by factory anyway, regardless of the price tag. The action on an instrument is down to personal preference. I have no issue with...

Interesting discussion.

When I’ve sold instruments, I’ve often played strings up each fret, as well as playing some licks and snippets of tunes. Thanks to GMorgan’s post, should I sell one in the...
