Carter's, Rumble Seat and Gruhn's are almost sitting on top of each other in the same stretch of 1.5 miles .
And Artisan Guitars and Cotten Music (now North American Guitar) are right around the corner. Probably no other place where you can see and play so many world class guitars.

I can't be the only person working on Session 5...can I? (Maybe I am just the only one checking in?) Anyway, I started over the weekend and am having fun with it. I'd learned a few chords before this, but it's great to have more of a "menu" to choose from. Some are trickier than others, but I have seen some improvement in a short time.
Excellent!
Also - congrats on the Furch OM - I have heard good things about them.

Very nice Wim. It took me a long time to get anywhere near as nice as your recording. Thanks for posting!

Hi everybody! I'm here. Officially, legally?, I'll be here in a couple days. I'm finishing up the play along songs at the end of 16 over the next couple days but since I had logged in thought I would pre-announce🤔
Like Neil, I am doing some review. I've gone back and am restudying pentatonic scales. I have the patterns down but just can't seem to get the location of the root note for each box ingrained. I'm going to keep reviewing until I do. And many of us have used Hal Leonard's book on Barre Chords to complement our studies on that. I have found that book and am working the exercises. I am going to go through all of those until I get through "Layla" toward the end.
But I digress. Wish me luck on getting up there in the "dusty" area of the fretboard!
Best wishes Ron!

Hi Rob,
You may be thinking of the Canon in D video that was hosted on the old Gibson guitar site. I bet I watched that video 100 times when I was in lesson 10. Unfortunately, Gibson took down those videos years ago and I have not been able to find them anywhere.
Welcome to the new forum!

Yes - I would purchase one in an instant!

Are you looking for the companion book for the course? If so, it is available at Steve's store (spiral bound). Link here.

Same here Neil - both my mom and dad passed away over the past two years. I am glad I took the time to call them (and take their calls) as often as I could.
As Neil said - if you still have family to call - give them a call, even if you don't have anything special to say!

Yes - looking forward to this - I have never made that leap 🙂

Excellent - congratulations!

I pretty much stay with the gauge used by the manufacturer. 9's on electrics and 12's on acoustics (except smaller bodied acoustics where I use 11's).

I attended one of Greg Voros' two-day workshops several years ago. When it was time to re-string my acoustic, I wanted to use 11's (which is what I had been using). Greg chided me and said that I would be losing too much tone. I have been using 12's ever since (except on guitars that use a pyramid bridge - where I use 11's).
I would think that going from 13's to 10's would require a truss rod adjustment.

Let me know what you think of it! It sure looks nice!!
Barb - I purchased it because I wanted a uke I could plug into my acoustic amp. It is loud enough without being plugged in - plugged in, it is amazing.

I have been working on and off from home for the past two weeks. Typically, I have been spending about a half day in the office and then the rest of the day fending off emails and participating in conference calls or Zoom meetings. I have had a bit more focused time to practice and play, but not enough. However, tomorrow that will change.
April 1 is my first day of retirement 🙂
Picked a great time to start tapping into those retirement accounts. 😐
So I have a plan, a course to work through, and lots of (well enough) guitars and other miscellaneous equipment. We will see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.

Joao,
That was a wonderful site that I visited often. Those videos contain a wealth of information. Thanks for all the work you have put into this!
