Re: My silliest move to date (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I've never really had callouses... I mean they got a little tougher but no real callouses.... Maybe it's because I play about 80% in barre and that eases the pressure on my finger tips.

Re: Long Scale versus Short Scale (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Nut width, neck profile, fret wire size, set up, neck radius, etc... could all contribute but yes the difference in tension between a 25.4 and 24.9 scale is notable.
Figuring it in my head so I could be a little off, but it'd be like a standard scale tuned down about 1/4 step

That's a sapele one and doesn't appear to be that good of a grade either.... I'd hold out for a true mahogany model, they'll be worth much more in the future.
Notice the defined ribbons (streaks in the wood), True mahogany looks like this

Re: "Broken" by Pete Murray (5 replies, posted in Song requests)

I'm a big Pete Murray fan.... I haven't heard "Broken" but will give it a listen and see what I can figure out for ya.... Most likely it uses variationsof EM G C D Most of his stuff revolves around that progression in some form... I'll try to get back with some chords for you this evening after I've gave it a listen...

Re: Fretless? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Fender was the first to Mass produce it but Audiovox offered a 4 string fretted "Guitar shaped" bass in their 1935 catalog (invented by Paul Tutmarc) that I believe was the first... And then in '47 there was the "Serenade" brand made by Tutmarcs son. Neither gained much popularity though... Fender carried the idea to mass production in the 50's with the Precision bass.
Reading your post got me interested and i started doing a little researching

Re: Classical Guitars (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Flatter fretboards don't fret out like more radiused boards. In other words it allows for more pronounced bends... They're generally wider to allow more room for fingerwork and also they need a beefier neck due to the fact that classicals don't have truss rods for additional support... You are correct that (generally speaking) flatter fretboards are harder to barre on... But as MK says you have much less string tension to work with so that helps with the barreing.

Topic: Fishing in the dark (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Carried the local Boy Scouts on a 2 day paddle down the Lumber River this weekend with a 1 night stay over.... Had a great time except for the inch of rain and hail that hit us around midnight...lol Anyway the reason for this post is that I had one scout that fell in love with the guitar on the trip. I played a few tunes for the boys and Aaron came over and asked to hold my guitar. His eye's lit up when he strummed it one time and the game was on He wanted a pattern to strum so I started him working on a simple dduudu pattern and left him to practice. After a few minutes he had it down and I was showing him chords In an hour he had the pattern down and could play G D Em & C cleanly. I next showed him how to play "Horse with no Name" and he picked it up pretty quick. It was great teaching someone so eager to learn I asked him what one song he really wanted to learn and he wants to give "Fishing in the Dark" a try. I didn't know how to play the tune but told him I'd pick it up real quick so I could teach it to him... Came home yesterday and found a tutorial for it on youtube and had a ball learning it last night. It's amazingly easy and fun to play so I thought i'd share it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlr16b-y … ture=share
