Went to the doctors last week. Doctor said that I'm paranoid!!!! .... he didn't actually [i]say[i] that, but I could tell that's what he was thinking.

Greetings matey Welcome to the fret. As somone already suggested, a little lemon oil dressing will probably sort out the colouration... Cheerz Mark H

Hello matey Welcome :) Mark H

Greetings Geoffrey Welcome to the fret... Cheerz Mark H

You guys are good. Some spanking photos. A couple from me... Both un-edited and using only compact cameras :)

Don't necessarily agree with the complex words part. The fascination for me with poetry is the complex words and use of language. To my mind a song doesn't actually need this. Complex words may even be detrimental. The use of language is the key I would've thought. Not the fancy pants words...

Yes matey, I have a desire to write... Sounds like you had a good experience in the seminar. I'm not yet comfortable enough with music to actually begin composing with any confidence. However, I have written a few poems and poetic verses through the years... I guess poems would require a...

Congrats on the new purchase. Amazing value. Great sounds. :)

LOL - my sensei has a Gibson V (P90s) thay occassionaly gets plucked off its stand. The big thing about the V, as sensei always comments on, is that you can't really play it sitting down. It just doesn't want to stay in your lap... and all of my playing is done sitting. I've just been to the...

Sure is dude :D It's one of my fave play-along tunes. The palm muting used with shuffle rhythms is something you will probably pick up really quickly. Just rest the heel of your palm really lightly on the bridge to start with, not the strings above the bridge, just the bridge. You're only...

Greetings zagatron and welcome to the fret. How about saying hi in your own new post? Cheerz Mark H

So I've been playing for a year, now. I hear all the debate about Stratocasters, (versus) Telecasters, (versus) LPs of all makes, etc, etc, etc,... Only recently did I realsie that I've never actually played any of the above guitars! I love playing my own 2 electrics (see sig). The question...

:applause :AOK Agreed :)

Tricky, isn't it? Amps are such a compromise, aren't they? If you need to get a variety of clean and gritty sounds at similar volume levels out of the same amp, then a basic tube amp is always going to be a compromise. If all you need is a clean sound, then a tube amp with lots of headroom would...

I often hear the same effect but I don't think there is necessarily any fault in technique. After I gave it some thought and critical examination I've rationalised it with 2 different effects that may be contributing... First, when you shuffle the 5th and 7th diads, you are changing only 1 of...

Hello matey I've been doing this guitar thing for about a year and having lessons every week. My lessons focussed on chords and rhythm playing right from the get-go. Only from very recently am I beginning to get single string tunes introduced to learn. Interesting that I've quite recently come...

First iPod video 60GB gave up after 13 months. I was fortunate to recieve a recon with 1 month warranty as a goodwill gesture as the warranty had only just run out. The recon has been going for about 2 years. When the 60GB went t1ts-up I bought a relacement iPod video 80 GB. So also about 2...

I'd stand in line :drool

Right here and now, I think I'd pass on a human flesh snack. My morality would argue to resist a meaty main course of man-flesh, even in a survival situation. However, I think the phrase "NOTHING can prepare you... " etc may possess more than a tiny modicum of truth. So until actually faced...

I'd add that the string should wind 'down' the tuning peg towards the headstock as you wind them on, not allowing the string to wind over itself. Finished article should be tidy and like a coil spring. I use more coils (about 5) on the top e string and less on the botom E (about 2) and...
