Re: Morgan Mystery (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi Doc
About 700 Usd - it is a Martin copy I think available with V or D neck - I can look at one anywhere in UK, Benelux or Germany if I find one - but the usual iweb sites/nternet stores don't list it. Seems strange because the reviews are very good. Have you used mail order from the US?

Re: Which album is on your player this week? (45 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Now I,m listening to Devils and Dust, Springsteen (I think I'll add "All I' m Thinking Bout" to this list of Dobro songs I can(t) play)
Before it was Until the Son turns Black - Ray Lamontagne (Empty is a good tune to play!)

Topic: Morgan Mystery (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
In a fit a jealously on seeing guitarpxxs Morgan Monroe on youtube (all that inlay!), I went looking for dealer in Europe.
Guess what - no results! I think they are actually made in Asia so I was wondering if thy were branded under a different name here.
Here is a picture of the guitar:-
Anyone seen a dealer or a twin in North Europe? I'd really like to see one in the flesh!
Suz
P.S I' m listening to Springsteen Devils and Dust CD as I type - does he really have to sing as if he's lost his false teeth?:lol:

Topic: Strumming With a pick (15 replies, posted in Acoustic)
This is the flip side of the other strumming post. I am really not pleased with the tone I get when using a pick. So I was wondering if any pick (or plectrums as we used to call em in ancient Rome) user can reveal the tricks to soften up the tone. I am also confused by the thickness/material choices. The only thing I DO know is you need 10 so you can find 1 when you need it!

Re: strumming without a pick (11 replies, posted in Acoustic)
yes - I use the rigid claw shape too- but if I play daily it wears my index nail away so it becomes sore and useless for picking. I started using picks recently because of that, but i find they produce a harsher sound - so I'll post a new thread on that topic and see if I can get some tips. Using the thumb alone has never really appealed.

Re: I am at a crossroads (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Turn that anger into action - do your own thing, form your own band and steal their gigs off em! Sometimes these unexpected changes force a new direction - for the better. Here's some Ray Davies for you:
It's really good to see you rocking out and having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things.

Topic: Which album is on your player this week? (45 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Anyone like to share which album you are into this week - don't have to be a new one.
I'm enyoying
Sheryl Crow - Wildflower
because I picked it up in the library on a whim (haven't listened to her stuff in the last 5 years) and was surprised at the quality of the songs - I like the title track a lot and keeps me calm in the traffic jam to work. Seems like there are some good tunes to have a go at on the old acoustic.

Re: any original bands? (30 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Forgot my votes:
Pulp (lyrically) and Radiohead (sonically) were original I think
Different Class and OK Computer were highlights of 90's for me.
I don't claim to like Kid A - but it is weird enough to be original!

10538 Overture anyone?

Re: Best Band Ever!!!!!!! You choose and share you're thoughts!!!!! (231 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Beatles - a lot of bands have moments of brilliance and inspiration, but no one can match the quality and diversity of music output in a mere 5 year period. Does Abbey Road sound 38 years old - I think not! Has any dared put out an album with virtually every genre on it since The White Album? McCartney is now a national treasure - they should preserve him in wax - especially if it stops him writing another Frog Chorus.

Memphis Minnie, Rory Block
Ray - I cut my teeth on Beatles and Cat Stevens and now I'm a big KT Tiunstall fan. I am attempting to get to grips with delta/ragtime blues just to keep it interesting! However I like to bang out some punk off and on... I love slow blues of Gilmour, Knoffler, Green etc and I'm seeing Suzanne Vega in concert next month - so most things interest me.
