I personally would not accept a guitar with a neck that is slightly bowed, I would take it back to the shop. It may become even more of a problem in the future.

@Eracer_Team-DougH But can that critic in the crowd play guitar?
My thoughts exactly!π

I found this article interesting, it includes some wisdom from Mr Jimi Hendrix.
It is so true. It is easy to make a mental note of all of the "mistakes" that we make while playing but as the article says "Art is supposed to be free, not perfect".

@Wim VD1Β that was superb, your skill at transposing a piano song to guitar is tremendous!πππΌππΌππΌ

This is a great lesson. It resonates with me because I have heard some of this advice on theΒ bass course and a banjo course that I am doing at theΒ moment. It is not only applicableΒ to those of you who are playing on stage or in church but also for learning lesson material and songs from books. Although it is written from the perspective of a bass player it is just as applicable to playing chords or melody.

π°π‘Hello Everyone!ππ€
This months Recording Challenge comes from Freewill, it is "Places or Locations".
Freewill said "SongsΒ that would obviously fit would be "America The Beautiful", "Back in the USSR", etc.Β "
You can also interpret this more loosely for songs including the word "home" like "My Hometown" or the word "place" like "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place" or "A Place in Your Heart"
I look forward to hearing your recordings.
1) Wim VD1 playing "St. James Infirmary "
2) Watson43 playing "Up on the roof"
3) Simira playing "Havanah"

Well, after a long lay off I started back just before Christmas on Lesson 5. Hands a little stiff but coming along good. Open chords were a breeze ( I use to play rhythm in a bluegrass gospel band for the church and sat in once in a while in my friends country band ). However note reading is a little slow and rusty so spending a little more time improving there before I move on to Lesson 6.

Looks like your hands did not forget how to do it! I know what you mean about note reading, if I use a learning resource that has tabs for a while I forget how to note read, especially the bass cleft.πΈ

Wow @Wim VD1Β you never cease to amaze me with your skills. That was superb, with just the right touch, unhurried and gentle.

Thank you Ron, I really appreciate it.

Oh well done @randyh1953, you have proved that you are a real musician you said "The show must go on!" and you did it!
One million cool points for you!πππππππππππππππ

Great photo @Eracer_Team-DougH.
The fact that you said "only rhythm" is another measure of how far you have come along in your guitar journey. I have never played in a band and am now at the stage where I need to force myself to practice playing to drum beats and figure out what beats and how to lock in with them.
Congratulations on all of your hard work in the past and present. I really admire people who play live.
To everyone else who is reading this: The first step beginners can make towards playing live is to record themselves and evaluate their playing, the next step is to share your recordings on a safe platform. This forum is a great place to share because you will not get negative comments as they are not permitted by our wonderful moderators. πππΌππΌππΌ

Buzzing on low E string
in Guitar Care, Repair & Building
Posted · Edited by Nutty 1
As guitar necks can bow in a helpful way from body to headstock (called neck relief) or an unhelpful way from low E to high E (sometimes called twisting) I had assumed that twisting was the case. I should have written it more clearly. Sorry Doug π
I am glad that you made the right decision @ChrisJ032Β Enjoy your new guitar and post a picture or video for us when you get it.ππΈπ
