I got something called a Savannah from MF Stupid Deal Of the day for $49. After a small action tweak, made easy with thumbscrews on the bridge, and sliding the bridge down a bit for intonation it plays fine and sounds not so bad either. I am having fun learning chords and licks and playing...

Me too. Dozen has not been out in about a month. Six has a new set of strings so she has been getting the love lately.

Right now I just want to get out and play with and for people again. I have been on a quest to improve my playing for several years and I feel like I continue to improve and grow. Goal is to get as good as I can before I start getting worse. I also want to get into some home recording before...

Used to use the oversized Fender heavys for years. Now hooked on nylon Dunlops with textured grip. I like .73 thickness.

I have a banjo player who has a love hate relationship with banjo. He is now playing mostly dobro. Saw Buddy Cage a few years ago at an NRPS show. NRPS was more fun for nostalgia's sake than they were good. Buddy was still great though. Welcome Steelman.

So I found myself sitting around a campfire with some folks and was just noodling whilst people were talking. Thought no one was paying attention and started playing Pachebel just because I was working out some variations and was going to be playing it at a wedding a few months away. Almost...

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen WFUV compilation disk Relix compilation disk In Rotation in my old car with CD player and no bluetooth or input jack. At home we listen to whatever strikes our fancy on youtube and we stream a couple of radio stations we like: WWOZ from Nola, WHEM...

Used to play the Dylan song ala Adele with a female singer. Working on Summertime - Doc Watson/ Billy Strings & Marcus King style. And on Dust In a Baggie and Tenessee Stud.

Good for you to take on this stye and to commit to it by taking lessons. I tend to dabble in different styles and pick up snippets from youtube. Not swing, but, I see some similarities to Tommy Emanuel and even Billy Strings, both guitarist whom I have been trying to parse but who are way too...

You can always ad a pup. I vote nay.

Dings don't matter unless you're a collector. Mine Guilds are mostly on the wall r in their cases... no dogs, I just don't trust myself;)

We eventually cancelled Disney. Really we only had it for a while because my wife is a huge Hamilton fan.
