Interesting to see this thread pop up after so many years. My brief response to the thread was the second in a line of ever increasing interesting comments. At 82 it occurs that many more...
There is a cushion called a Flanger which I use on classical guitar.
Is there a recommended book for Viola or Alto clef? (Regarding learning the clef.)
I found the wide nut 3/16 Rigel just felt natural to me when I tried one. I can see some advantages either way so I suppose it is just a personal choice. Since I have played a while now I can...
Looked for the Machado piece on the site but couldn't find it. Any one know where I might find that one Well duh-------I spotted the book listed under the vid. Sorry.
Only a luthier on the instrument. A famous name would devalue the instrument for my money if I was purchasing it. I am not happy even with the decals I put on my old guitar case years ago. I do...
Long time Golden Gate user. Pointy picks seem a more staccato tone to me, rounded have a more smooth and legato attack. Thought I could inter change with Dawg but for some reason couldn't. One of...
Practice a 1-6-2-5 chord progression in all keys. Then experiment with the spound of the 3-4-7 chords. I guess what I'm saying is that flash cards are useful but performing some of these things on...
Memorizing simple major chord speliings, (ceg-dfa-egb-fac-gbd--etc.) and then they become a helpful memory devise to work out of with rules of flatted third, seventh and so on. You have the third,...
I remember one time in the 60s when I was sitting in the front lawn of an old farm house with my friend who had just bought a new flattop Gibson built in Kalamazoo Mi. We used to do all the 50s...
I shipped my skis home to Michigan after a ski trip in Colorado because I was going to drive on further west. I stopped at a shipper in Denver. UPS admitted they picked up the skis, and lost the...
I can sure feel what you are going through right now. I had a left shoulder implant and it sure wasn't a walk in the park. It does pass so keep the faith. I'm back to playing classical guitar and...
Crispness is almost a definition of the Rigel sound, along with clarity and sweetness. Sustain is great on any Rigel I ever played both F and A. I have Flat Wounds on my Rigel Q now and it sounds...
Had some memorable meals in Galway and Donegal. In a Donegal pub the fish and chip meal came with a salad and a bowl of smashed peas. I'd go back for that meal alone. Unfortunately I'm also in...
Usually when you have problems with something it is not that the hands need work, it is that the brain needs to know what to tell the fingers to do. I usually go with the mantra, "Slow saves Time." ...
I recently played and recorded "One Bottle More" and "Young William Plunkett" on my Rigel Q, oval. All Rigels seem to have that "sweet" and bright tone to my ears regardless of the oval or not. I...
Saw him solo for a great show at the Ark in Ann Arbor. Sad to hear this.
Should have said it is more beneficial playing than getting addicted to simply reading and posting which I got to involved in myself. No sarcasm intended ,
.......and posting!
No such thing as a guarantee but if you pick something like a used Rigel they have an excellent reputation for playability and a solid resale value when purchased used. Definitely worth the upgrade...
Thanks Martin, I figured probably that but I wanted to be sure before I ground it into my memory the wrong way.
Really, only seven. How about a Collings or a build? Or a Martin from the year you graduated from high school like I'm looking to own some day.
In O'Neills book, the four measures back from the last partial measure there are two quarter notes D-G that are not going to fit obviously in a 3/8 timing scheme. I'm assuming that they are really...
:confused:That is amazing, a little to fast for this 75 year old, which I absolutely hate having to admit, but I will be revisiting this site. Not too sure why because I'm not sure I have a real...
