Worth a few minutes.
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...
Thanks for the vid. All 3 sound great.
I also prefer the Ellis, but the Northfield sounds great, and on par with the other 2.
Yup, the 5Bar rocks.
It is nice to hear it next to the other two.
I prefer the Ellis to the Gibson, but I like the Northfield just as much.
The Ellis does have that nice sizzle that would be...
I prefer the Ellis, but I have an Ellis, so I'm hugely biased. :)
Beautiful instrument collection. Congrats on your new acquisition. They all sound great.

Hey all,
I decided to take advantage of a beautiful day and drove over to Schoenberg Guitars in Tiburon, Ca.
Definitely my favorite instrument store out here in California, if not my favorite...
For a beginner, there is a very simple, free solution available these days - Tommy Emmanuel videos on YouTube.
That's not a joke. Tommy Emmanuel is a good teacher, he keeps things extremely simple...

The folks over at Fretboard Journal have a new podcast episode up featuring Tom Ellis.
Lots of great discussion about Tom, how he got started, his time working alongside Bill Collings, and all...

If that were the wall next to my desk I would never get anything done.
Have no fear, folks. We are living in a Renaissance age of fine instruments. Some of the best mandolins that have ever been made are being made right now. They just don't necessarily have the...
Yeah, and my $450 'teens F-2, $300 1957 Martin D-18, $150 Gibson J-50 with a repaired top crack. Of course, I was making $6K a year, my apartment rented for $70/month, and my first new car, 1972...
