    I got to see Pat Metheny at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH. Our seats were off to the side so I didn't see much, but the music was great. He played with a drummer, keyboard player, and a double bass player. I managed to capture this brief video before someone stopped me to tell me "no cameras allowed".

    Hi Alice, I don't know about normal, but I should be able to play again. The best part is playing guitar is my physical therapy.

    Thank you everyone. I shall return...?

    Happy Birthday to You, Ian!

    I use screwdrivers for screws; not guitars. If it works for Tommy then good for him.

    Good news! I saw the surgeon today. I don't have to immobilize my finger any longer; just some taping for another week. I can start moving and playing in one more week. I should be back to normal in 3 weeks if all goes well.

    I would say that isn't great support from Maton. I suppose the finish could be so thin that it offered little protection. The blemish looks like it just maybe caused by sweat under your arm while playing. You should always wipe down you guitar with a guitar polishing cloth. You can always use water with a little dish washing liquid in a spray bottle during string changes. The daily wipe down is critical.

    Well done Ian!

    I don't know specifically about the Jem. You can also use the block of wood method. Tremolo Block tremolo stop / lock Hardtail an electric guitar Strat

    Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. The injury is a small fracture so I am hopeful for a return to playing. The worst part is not knowing. I am going to see an orthopedic surgeon for a consult. I will follow his recommendations. After 9 years of daily practice and playing I have no intention of giving up now.

    I fell climbing the steps on my deck. My worst fear came true. I have a small fracture on the ring finger of my fretting hand. I haven't played for 13 days now. I don't know when I can play again.

    @Texaspackerfan You are correct. I spoke to a bass player who played in bands for decades. He said the volume on stage should be low enough to hear each other speak. Running through the PA is the way to go. Playing too loud is unprofessional. Peter Thorn has an article in Premier Guitar below. Turn It Down

    An interesting lesson from Joe Gore for thinking outside the box. https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/27684-the-subversive-guitarist-trapped-in-a-box

    I have the Mini and love it. The vocals are excellent also.

    Hi Steve, I would like to see lessons to teach us playing melodies in different parts of the neck much like the early L&M Guitar lessons teach us to play in 1st position.

    @matonanjinHappy belated birthday to you!
  20. Randy120
    @matonanjin I have the 2009 version so they have changed a little. Mostly new names and minor cosmetic changes over the years.

    @matonanjin The BX5's is from M-Audio. Mackey has upgraded and changed the name several times since I purchased my MR5 monitors years ago. Sweetwater has the MR524 on the link below. Mackey MR524
  22. Randy120
    I have Mackey MR5 monitors hooked up with balanced cables to my M-Audio FastTrack C400 audio interface. The MR5 are powerful dual amp monitors. A 55 watt amp drives the 5 inch speaker and a 30 watt amp drives the high frequency tweeter. The MR5 also has connections for RCA, TSR, and XLR.

    Bravo!

    @Plantsman13 I also use the blue painters tape to cover the sound hole and protect the pickup magnets from the 0000 steel wool. My best paintbrush is the one for the guitars. ?

    You are welcome @rkl312. It looks like a winner.
