I know nothing about slides but I do know a little about metal. Copper is very soft. I would think that your guitar strings are harder than copper therefore the slide would wear very fast. I'm surprised that you found brass slides as brass is very soft also. But being as how brass is used for wind instruments I would guess that it has good sound qualities. Copper probly not so much. That's my 2 cents.

No coffee for me just a super cold glass of iced tea.

Try this little treat:

Hot tea, little milk, little sugar, then dip an Oreo in, let it get a little soft then eat. UMMMMM!!

Someone has posted this before. Would be a very cool tool if they ever get it finished. It's been in beta at the same stage for quite some time now.

I recently came across one that I physically cannot do. I can sorta get it on the low end of the neck but up at the ninth like the vid says is impossible. My fingers just don't stretch that way.

I use these two to warm up:

They're simple but my darn pinky needs to be re-taught every time I play. He doesn't listen very well.

I just scanned all the songs from Amy's post. Everyone that I just listened to better not have said they were a beginner in the "how do you rate yourself musically" thread. You ARE NOT beginners. You kinda make us feel bad. If a beginner sounds like that, then I just plain suck. I didn't check each name and their rating, but go ahead and change your rating to intermediate, good, or something like that.

I'll throw something else out here. Sometimes when I'm playing a faster tempo song I sometimes fudge my chord changes so the last up strum sorta has a buzz to it. Seems to happen mostly when I scratch,mute,chop, whatever you want to call it. Anyway, my point is that maybe it could be a playing thing a not a guitar thing.

Welcome Bill!!!

You might have gone in the wrong direction with the truss rod and saddle adjustment. To get it back to normal you might have to undo your tweaks. Has the guitar been exposed to any temp/humidity changes? Listen to Pix, he knows what he's talking about. You need to try and isolate the buzz first.

Good luck!!

If this Virginia fellow would stop planning his July jam on the Shenandoah or his August jam in Meadow Creek, then maybe the package would see some more miles. He could also make some time for it by not dealing with Chordie spammers or trying to lose weight.

Love ya Zurf!!!

Wow that's a pretty cool gadget. They should make the tuner part rotate so you could see it easier.

Welcome to Chordie Jaycee!!!

Deadstring said it all. The "small" F as it is sometimes referred to will get you by until your fingers are strong enough for barre chords. Really tho, if you think about it, this is a barre chord. You are barring the 1st and 2nd string with your index finger.

Good luck!
