The new month has begun, it's time for @UncleHammy to take back the challenge. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Also this thread is really off topic, everyone knows that real football is in the CFL.

Danny, I'm really sorry but, as moderator, it is my job to keep this forum safe from obscene, offensive messages such as this. 😏 Either you retract this or I'm afraid I will be forced to delete your membership on this forum! 😆😆😮 Go Bears!!!!!! lol

It's probably best known in the bluegrass flat picking world where a lot is played in the first position. Many times the bass notes are not played within a chord such as the basic G chord; whereas, only the "G" on the E string, open B, and G are played for speed (to move on quickly) cross picking between this example of three notes (a triple). That being the first string - third fret, then 2nd & 3rd strings. Cross picking takes a lot of patience/dexterity, I can do a limited amount of it; therefore, I find my older fingers learning the bluegrass "runs" and also gravitating towards the "Carter Style," playing. Get on You Tube and search, "The Art Of Guitar Crosspicking," by Steve Kaufman. There's something for EVERYONE on a guitar, just gotta find your niche. HA!

What a great bill!

I reckon Gilmour's Stats will bring way more than that and many of the most prized LP's have some sort of provenance as well but I get your point. I guess I never got the "collector" gene. Never could get into coins, stamps, sports cards, etc. so I guess its no surprise I never really think of my guitars in terms of a "collection" just various implements of enjoyment. Since I don't have the gene, I can't fathom the collector mentality.

Mandy, Danny, and Ian, thanks for the encouraging words. By the way, Danny, as a lifelong Wisconsin resident I really get a kick out of your screen name. Do you get a lot of grief as a Packer fan living in Texas?

I love to play that chord in an acoustic blues in E.

I definitely have the symptoms, unfortunately if another PRS comes into the house I will be looking for new accommodations. Henk

Wow...I hate that you put a disclaimer on there. Now I can't use this test to convince the wife I need more gear. Hmmmph. 😂
