Re: String Gauge (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hello crevs.1972 , I used too only use light strings but after a year or so I could tell I was not getting enough sound, I asked a few people at the local music store and the told me too try some mediums and heavy,I tried both and I came out satisfied with the mediums. I guess it is up too the individual. I also never had too get my guitar re done for them but you might want too ask the dealer.martins are nice strings but I am on a budget so I use d"addarios,they are really good for the price. If you are just doing light strumming I think you should check out some medium guage strings. dino

Re: Raindrops keep falling on my head: WOODSTOCK 1969 A MILESTONE? (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hi phil,It willbe shown on monday night on the discovery channel here in california. no it was not a dangerous event,they had almost 500,000 people there and no fighting ,just music ,alcahol and dumb drugs. It was the second largest city in the usa for those three days. The biggest problems were food and medical,the government sent the army choppers in with food water and medical supplies,and also medical doctors. It is a must see for any one intersted in music I think. I still have this on vcr and I watch it now and then,I was hooked on Ten years afters performance of going home ( Alvin lee was a great guitar player) dino48
