Simple. Because she's cool. ;)

I am in absolute, heart-stopping, breath-taking, love. And the girl's not too bad either. ;)

These all look too short to me. I like my left knee to be raised when I pick while sitting - sort of classical guitar style. For me it's a barstool. Not the fancy (and heavy) rotating kind, just the...

I like it :)

Really interesting mics... I've been thinking of ways to rig a stage so that set-up is minimal between acts for our local open mic. We run it out of a theater, and these might be just the ticket....

Great topic...

As some have mentioned, the uke is in it's third revival (some would say the peak) - massive sales, mainstream and commercial use. The little four string is back in a very big way....

Interesting problem... I play through a SM57 in two separate venues. One gives me great volume w/ no feedback, the other is exactly the behavior you describe.

I've come to the conclusion that it's...

I am a hack. This I know, and joyfully embrace. It takes a certain amount of fearlessness to get up there and jam, sometimes more than I can muster.

I have learned however, not to worry too much...

Certainly we can say that enough people believe something is happening to warrant investigation – but we’ve seen the “common wisdom” and volumes of anecdotal evidence turn out to be imagination time...

I’m not making any claims as to what the phenomenon is – only looking critically at what it is claimed to be...

But since you asked,

My personal opinion is that the phenomenon could easily be...

I read that post, thanks - I should have been more specific: "there is no substantive or credible evidence...".

Methodology issues with those studies aside, there is simply not enough real and...

Wood changes over time. Environment can have a profound effect on changes over time - particularly humidity. It stands to reason that some of those changes could effect sound. Decades of time can...

It's funny,

My favorite shop around here does two very simple things that make it a cut above every other store I've ever been in.

1) They have signs everywhere telling you to pick up and play...

The invention of the cheap vibration tuner changed my life. I keep a few all over the place - bags cases, car. I always take one into music shops.

There is one shop here locally that always tunes...

Tremolo, like any technique, can be over-used. It often is.

Barcus-Barry "Outsider"

Not perfect, but serviceable with a decent EQ/Pre-amp.

Love 'em... thanks for sharing.

That Schertler is great, if you can pony up the dough - it's a great sound. The advantage of the BB I use is they cost about ten times less ($45-$60 US as opposed to $400-$500). Most of the venues I...

They do exist - known broadly as "Stick-on Transducers". There are significant trade-offs, both in tone and noise. I'd stay away from anything that has a long cable attached, (like the Dean Markley...
