  1. Any hints about when the agenda and signups for classes might arrive in our mailboxes?😁 Greg
  2. Excellent find! He has a great tone on his strat and a voice to match in my opinion. I am a fan also. Thanks for sharing. Greg
  3. Great stuff Triple-O. I am considering taking a course next year at the American School of Lutherie in Portland, Ore. as a jumpstart to considering building from scratch. This video is inspirational, it not daunting. Greg
  4. I am a woodworker and I am stunned by the quality and beauty of this , your first build. I can appreciate also the cost of materials, parts and tools required to create such a masterpiece. Fabulous craftsmanship. Thank your for sharing this project with us. Greg
  5. Very cool Ben. My question, in a spur of the moment, which two do you grab for a gig or save from disaster? Do you keep these in a vault to keep them safe and sound?😁 Greg
  6. Ooooo...you are so right on this!! Especially if you are the singer. "Gotta skip that line to catch my breath". Greg😁
  7. Ditto Fretless. Get well soon. My life is crazy busy lately- a good thing for a retiree, yes-but i will try to help if this project launches again. Let's see if this can spark some creative genius from our forum friends here. Maybe even Mr K? 😃
  8. Just came across this. Very interesting concept. I play with bandmates that are technically good but sometimes have difficulty with "timing issues"-when to come in on the correct beat etc. for solos or fills. Fortunately that is one of my few skills. I am constantly having to steer the "one"and driving the rhythm without a drummer or bass. I am wondering if this device might help them in that regard. Maybe give us a review/update Nutty. Greg
  9. Outstanding! Wish I was in the area to see your band perform. Won't be back in Florida until next November. Have fun. Greg
  10. Anybody planning any in the upcoming months? Good weather just around the bend (I hope). My trio opens for another band this Saturday as a small pub in Portland with a 40 minute set, but in May my quartet gets 2 1/2 hours on one or two Sundays for rehearsals-practice/play- at another truckstop bar as well. Any plans for others on the forum? Greg
  11. The Fender Bassman has been, and still is, used by some players as a guitar amp though originally designed as a bass amp. It has significant headroom and is a superb Fender product. I have played through one and was very impressed. I also have both the the Kemper Profiler and a Fractal Ax8 and one of my favorite patches in each unit, is a Bassman. However the actual Bassman amps are fairly heavy, a big downside for me ever considering one for myself. Greg
  12. I saw him in concert with Willie Nelson ( in the height of his "Red Headed Stranger" era) back in 1976. Powerful and emotionally raw, he was an amazing deep rich-voiced talent , whom I had never heard of before. I rushed out and bought his studio album and was sadly disappointed. The roaring lion was a yawning lap cat on the recordings, nothing like the live performer. He was however indeed a force amongst the outlaws when they all were to gather onstage. Greg
  13. Nice Review! Looks like you have landed on your favored amp destination. Congrats and enjoy Greg
  14. I tried gel nails for only 4 weeks, loved them for playing but they are fragile and require constant repair. I removed them and have problems with those nails ever since cracking vertically before achieving optimal length. This has been an on going problem now for 3 years. Conclusion: stay away from them. Greg
  15. Superb Mike. A wonderful composition and thanks for sharing. Greg
  16. Very nice Cap. I found myself humming a harmony vocal line along with that as the musical theme and flow inspired a pleasant melody in my head. Greg
  17. I have a couple of them and they are my favorites. A bit of an expense but superior quality makes them a value to me. Greg
  18. Great news John. The world looks brighter! Greg
  19. Wow, what a nice recording and exceptional play in every regards! I am really enjoying your contributions and would echo Nutty's thoughts about the vocals. Nothing to be self conscious about-sounds great, man. Greg
  20. Man am I envious! Sweet guitar. Congrats Greg
  21. Your wife has a great idea. Opens up the prospect for more enhancements of the 6 string variety. Nice catch! Greg
  22. Nothing better than getting your dream guitar. Got to love Martins. Congrats Greg
