Hello folks, I have been having a battle with windows installing updates and somehow messing around with the computer even though I have put check marks saying not to do it. I seem to have lost my ability to view the still images of the video links that are being posted on the fret. Not...

Hello folks, Back in the 60s, Jim Kweskin's Jug Band was pretty cool. Playing a bunch of traditional tunes from earlier years. Guthrie,Gene Autry,Ellington,,,, This one was a special favorite and I have the CD and am not sure of the chords used. I do not really speak in "1-1V-V". If anyone...

Hey folks,,, maybe this has been done before,,,??? How about a a taste of your amps models??? Kind of get a feel for the sound of what might be possible. Type of guitar + type of amph,,,,, Steve

Hey folks,,, I got here in Nov. 2007. Thanks to the guidance of a few of the fret-brethren. I just happened to look, at the left hand side, of the page and saw that I had compiled 200 posts. And in only, one and a half, years!!! That is quite a benchmark for me. I can remember being caught...

Hello folks, Due to a fairly poor record of employment over the past 18 months and the following economic repercussions that affected my guitar ownership/stewardship, I made a decision that would allow me to continue playing a decent rosewood B/S dread. I have removed six of the strings off...

Hello folks,, I have a 70 record collection of pritstine albums that I would like to transfer onto my Itunes. What with the limitations on MP3 frequency responses, I am not looking for cutting edge hardware. Do any of you have any recommendations?? Should I even consider software that is...

Not being any more than a living room, wannabee, I am very pleased with the Zoom digital recorder. It has opened new rooms for me to play around in. That and the Vox AD30VT. This tune is from Son Volt and I kind of like the way it turned out for me. First time using the tremolo effect...

Hello Folks,, Just wondering if I have the necessary tools to get video onto the computer and then the net. Dell computer 2400 pentium 4, 2.66 ghz, 256 mb ram. Got a JVC digital camcorder, GR-D770. The camera uses those small cassettes and has connections for the computer, USB 2.0 and DV...

hey folks,, here are a few samples of different slide materials used on the same guitar. Not well, by any means, but a place to listen to, all the same. If I could have had, more control over the process, it would be easier to listen to. Things being what they are, I still think that it is an...

Hello, Has something changed? For instance, in the lap steel thread, I see references made to clips but no clips themselves. And these are members who have shown the wherewithall of doing it. Just wondering,,,,,, Steve

http://www.box.net/shared/pdy0e3g50n It was another one of those days off and I figured I would try to fool around with another NY tune. For me, it turns out, that once you get the hang of some of the tunes in D-Modal tuning, you have a kind of leg up on some of the others. There is no way...

http://www.box.net/shared/hcejas9tte I have been liking this tune ever since I first heard it. A long time ago. Figured it would be one of the thousands that I would never learn to play. Thanks to a couple of pals on the forum, I learned about the tab sites and how to work them. After...

The show comes on at 12:oopm down here. I did not know that it was to be Lucinda. Tuned in, in the middle of the first song and got a creepy feeling all over me. Has she gone through some kind of illness? Minor stroke? She had a table at her side with the sheet music/lyrics spread out on...

http://www.box.net/shared/a45yoipg6q Well, I couldn't wait. Decided that since I have downloaded Audacity, I will be able to go back into these things that have been mastered on the Zoom MRS8. I have no idea if this is true or not. I gave it a working title of "bumpin" because it seems to...

http://www.box.net/shared/fo0pc2nhxj This is a tune that I am trying to find words for. Not being Hawaiian and wishing I was, makes it hard to replicate the vocals. Anyway, done on the Zoom MRS-8. The rhythm track is not there because I have not mastered the tune. My card reader does not...

I don't know if this will help or just confuse,,,,, I have one of those cheap lil fender 15W, SS amps, that I purchased when I got my Strat. Fine when it is the only thing in the house that can make things louder. I then fell into one of those 128 effect preamps. Hooked it up to my living...

On one of my many trips through the guitar/music/recording/spare bedroom, on the way to let the dog out of the house, I looked down at the end table, next to the couch. A lamp, a case of old dominos[?], three slides - Glass, Brass and Ceramic, a Kyser capo and a Korg Ca-30 tuner. It is a piece...

Hello folks,, I could use a little help and/or advice, on whether what I am going through is normal. This is all based on my accoustic guitar. A washburn J-28SCEDL. I put a Colossi saddle into the guitar a couple of years ago and am wondering now, if I may have botched the install? The...

http://www.box.net/shared/65gnuoqjj9 It was late 1973 and I went to a party on Siesta Key, off Sarasota's coast. Some friends were giving the party at a house that they rented from a lady named Kay Von Schmidt. One of those artist types who could afford to live on the beach. There were local...
