"Learn & Master Guitar Setup & Maintenance" by Greg Voros has been mentioned here on the site a few times, but this DVD course is valuable enough it deserves its own topic. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn how to take care of your guitars. It covers electric and acoustic guitars. You can be your best guitar tech with a little knowledge and a few inexpensive tools. I learned most of my techniques from the course and I still reference it today. I take care of 4 different guitars with great results. I had a highly rated luthier in the area compliment me on how I maintained my two Taylor guitars. He told me "just keep doing what your doing". I hear the Gibson Les Paul is notorious for being out of tune. Huh? Mine comes out of the case tuned almost all the time. Maybe the G is a little off the day after I have a case of the bends. The same for my Taylor Nylon string which is always in tune after the strings are stretched properly. If you want to take good care of your guitars and really understand how they work then this course is for you. For the price of couple string changes you can stop depending on the local shop to work on your guitars.

Question about Nut/Saddle Material. On another site they talked about real bone nut and saddles vs what came on their guitar. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences. I would also like to have Greg Voros weigh in on the subject. By the way I have a Martin GPC15ME which has Bone Nut/Compensated White Tusq Saddle. Thanks papamark

I'm with Dave: pick up right where you left off, and give your fingertips a couple of weeks to toughen up. Aim to put in a few minutes every day. Welcome back!

Thanks for the reply and learned some new Spanish words🎸 so far moving along in session 10 , but not a big fan of Merle Travis style.....will try to nail down Canon in D before moving onto session 11......figure I can come back if I really want dive deeper into finger picking ...looking forward to session 11 and almost ready for a new guitar🎸

Since you have a music background, I would pick up where you left off and use the first two sessions as warm-up exercises. Glad you are back and good luck!

That is a great DVD - I highly recommend it as well. And if you want to go the extra mile, I also highly recommend Greg's fretwork and setup class. He used to conduct them in Nashville - I believe he is only offering them in Nazareth, PA now.

Hey Danny, I like it. It has a great groove. Did you play the drums on a drum kit or did you program it? One fine day I would like to learn to play bass guitar as well. Wim.

Great theme this month. Here’s a two minute tale of lust, revenge, arson and Scandinavian decor written by two young lads from Liverpool in the year I was born. This was great fun to do. Ian

Thanks for the challenge @watson43 . This is one I learned for a recent wedding. It’s under 2 mins and was a lovely piece to arrange and play around with. It definitely stays in the repertoire. Beatles tunes are always more difficult then I expect, this took a while to get under the fingers. It’s recorded live to my iPhone and was played through a Roland mobile ac. The little Roland is a fab piece of kit. I use it for my indoor Restaurant gigs and it’s plenty loud enough. enjoy.
