Thanks.
I'll look into that before I lay down any cash.
Les.

Thanks.
I'm tempted to give it a try.
Are there any inherent issues, besides the light build, I should be aware of?
I have a Gil 3 that works for most situations, but there's something about many...

Thanks again.
Volume is not an issue.
I'm contemplating a purchase and really just interested in structural integrity and tonal qualities.
From the little I've heard (youtube only) the style 20...

Thanks.
Is the light tension because of age or design/build?
Les.

G'day.
Any ideas on safe string gauge for a 1929 Martin Style 20?
Thanks.
Les.

Thanks for your generosity Aaron.
Not sure how you find the time to record all these videos.
This instalment is particularly useful when paired with a couple of chapters in Mandolin Chord Melody...

Sweet tune.
Thanks.
Les.

I love this.
Really nice playing and tonal quality.
Reckon you've got the mix spot on (I'm no audiophile mind).
Terrific compositions and lovely interplay between mandolin and guitar.
Any CD...

Methinks you undersell yourself.
I was compelled to check out your work on youtube.
Beautiful guitar playing.
Where can we buy your recordings?
Les.

What a wonderful world - what a wonderful band!

G'day,
I have an old mandolin that I'd like to detune to a lower pitch.
Any ideas on how low I can go and with what string gauge, before the exercise becomes impractical?
Thanks.
Les.

G'day Ellen. I live in the wet tropics of Australia where the RH rarely dips below 60% for too long (right now 82%). My house is not air conditioned. I've found the best answer to high humidity is to...

Great Don.
I haven't heard that tune for decades - where have I been.
The clip sent me straight to your web page and Hillbilly Chamber Music is downloading as I type.
No wait, its ready to unzip!...

G'day.
Peter Coombe mentioned a second Model 3 Classical.
I think this is it.
Mine has a red spruce top - love it!
Les.

Pietrobono,
Thanks for the links.
I had run across this transcription and manouche version earlier and they're useful.
Still, I'd love to see the fake book copy to compare and to check out the...

G'day.
I was hoping someone might be kind enough to share a PDF copy of Cleopatra's Dream from the Bud Powell Real Book.
Thanks.
Les.

Thanks Paul.
Gig or no gig (yeah I'd rather play with the living too!), it still looks like a really useful tool.
Love your music by the way.
All the best.
Les.

G'day
This software looks great.
I have a couple of questions for users.
Are the sounds of good enough quality to gig with?
Can the files be altered to add intros & outros etc.?
I've had no...

:redface:Oh Boy!
Dear Readers.
Some of you must think I'm a goose.
In my first post I wrote, "I've been searching cyberspace for a chord progression to Shine by Cecil Mack et.al.. I've come across...

Here we go then.
This is my take on Part A harmony, based on piano sheet and Ry Cooder's version - with the odd liberty taken.
The chords are short guitar fingerings, primarily found on the top 4...

G'day,
I've been working on the piano sheet and I'll post my interpretation of the first part for comment soon.
Did Louis Armstrong do this one originally?
I wouldn't have a clue. I can tell you...

Thanks Bruce.
I've made a start on transposing the piano sheet and will have a listen to Mr. Cooder's version this weekend. You have certainly saved me some heartache, given what I have so far...

Dear readers,
Is this possible?
I've been searching cyberspace for a chord progression to Shine by Cecil Mack et.al.. I've come across three titles (Shine) by these blokes and they're all...

G'day Will Little & SiFi.
I had a bridge pickup that had a nasty hum.
I thought it was an earth problem.
My solution was to run a piece of thin wire from the output jack to the tail piece - a drop...

Thanks jitterbug.
Why on earth did I imagine it was something more complex?
Les.
