My current mood is sad for those who have lost and are suffering. Also, I'm thankful for those who have and are happy. I do my best to stay on an even keel and not get too high from highs nor too low from the lows. It's a difficult task sometimes...................

To previous posts; Isn't that paraphrasing what I said.........................
Listen up y'all; wood bends, steel does too, if it's thin enough. A guitar neck, on an electric guitar, is made up of 19 parts wood and 1 part steel (truss rod) think of it as a toothpick inserted into a carrott. It will bend repeatedly but eventually, after excessively abusing said guitar neck, it's gonna snap. Go on and do it, you know you want to. Place a toothpick into the middle of a 2" evenly cut crisp piece of carrott and bend away. My guess is you'll be at it for about 30-38 bends or so before it snaps. Any of you adventurous ones out there care to take my test of physics theory?.....................Get back to me if you do so and as I suggested earlier, save the guitar abuse for crappy guitars or guitars in need of eminent repair.................................

My first gig was very "Blues Brothers"-ish. It was at a club in Radford, Virginia called Lucky's. I convinced the owner to give us a shot and guaranteed him that we would bring 40 people, minimum to see us play. He said OK and charged $2.00 per person at the door and the gate from the door would be our pay. We did not, however, get our drinks for free. We had to pay for them. 2 problems here; 1) I was the spokesperson for the band and not of legal drinking age.(only 17 at the time) 2) Our gate from the door was $100 and our bar tab was $120. I would have offered to play another set and try to get the extra $20 in tips to pay our bar tab but the bar was closed. The owner was cool and gave us our drinks at half price. Also, luckily my age never came up otherwise we'd really be in trouble. So we ended up netting $40, between 5 guys. The owner did like us and had us return many times afterwards. We never made much more money than we did our first time there but we got wise and snuck our own booze in the bar disguised in water bottles.............Ah the good ole days!!!!!
"I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde might just be the song your sister is looking for...............
cytania wrote:Hi Baldwin, only reason I can think of for wanting an electro acoustic bass is looks, ie. you don't want to clash with the rest of the folk band. Most decent solid body basses should summon up a soft thuddy sound that works fine.
.
It's all in ones EQ adjustment. Feedback and a variated tone will occur with an acoustic/electric bass that won't with a solid body electric bass but with a little tweeking on the lows and mids the aoustic/electric bass is just as effective as the electric. Ever heard any tunes by the Stray Cats? Acoustic/electric bass here! TypeO Positive? Acoustic/electric bass here as well! Or Nathan East on Clapton's Unplugged. Nathan plays a acoustic/electric fretless bass that sounds amazing. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference and most all barriers and obstacles can be compensated for. If you got your heart and mind set on ther A/E bass, follow your desires..............

P.s. Chordie Rocks.
Strumming pattern diagrams are available to view and study but honestly the best way to figure out a desired pattern is to tear into the song and do your own thing with it. Listen, without talking to anyone, to the guitar part in the song you wish to learn. Too many people hear songs without actually listening to them, there's a huge difference. Concentration, and mental absorption, note by note, measure by measure, song by song, will eventually come to you. Who knows, maybe you'll create a whole new style of music....................

This isn't specifically bluegrass, but bluegrass can be made from many of the songs in the section. Heard of a band called Hayseed Dixie? They do all AC/DC songs bluegrass style. They're quite amazing musicians. Welcome to Chordie slopicker.

The last one posted is on of the list of bass guitars Zurf suggested, as is the M.Kelly.(very good info by the way) Any of these would be a fine instrument to start out with. I've posted them beginning with the least expensive to the most expensive.
Having backing tracks will turn more people way from you than drawing them in. The kind of people that are gonna pay attention to a musician trying to earn some money will appreciate a pure musician doing what they do without pre-recorded aide. I personally ignore posers using backing tracks. Sorry if my comments offend anyone out there but I'm just tellin' it like it is from a true musicians viewpoint. I have been playing music professionally for 24 years and every note of music that has rang out of my speakers has been generated from my hands, mouth, or feet.(minus my break music) Pre-recorded music is an uneeded crutch that too many people today rely upon..............................Grab your acoustic guitar, open your case,(for tips$$$) and sing your souls' inner voice. If you mean what you sing, you'll get your just reward.

I'll answer this one for Mr. McCormick. He replied to my post with this information regarding 'gription' ;
"Just couldn't get no gription" came from something I heard a football coach say once. He was explaining why his team couldn't pass or run the ball during a very wet and muddy game. Apparently, the other team had plenty of 'gription' since they had no trouble racking up lots of points.
In life, one must maintain gription . . .
F#= 244322 #=sharp these numbers represent the frets you play on your guitar (EADGBE) from lowest (thickest) to highest (slimmest) string

Roger,
My kids and I just listened to your new song. My 12 year old daughter said, "that was a very cool song". My 2 year old son said, " ah ba ba ba ba ba". I say well done sir, this is one of your finest tunes to date and the new 12'ver sounds sweet ! Thanks for sharing.

I play guitar because a dancing pygmy came to me in a dream and told me it was my life's destiny to do so. The pygmy was clad in a tye-dye t-shirt and bell bottom multi-colored pants. He said this to me, I clearly remeber it ;
"Did-e-le-dar ,Did-e-le-zar
Fill your life with love and guitar
Did-e-le-zoop Did-e-le-zool
Do this and all will be cool.................."
I realize this is more than you wanted to spend but I was blown away by the unique features with this guitar. Not your ordinary, everyday guitar. 11 string fretless acoustic electric.......The low E has a single string and the other 5 has 2 strings. It comes tuned standard and is a great guitar for those who like to travel off the beaten path, in musical terms of course...........

Royce Drake wrote:Hey Southpaw . . . I agree . . . I've got a 1966 J-50, which is essentially a J-45 but different finish. I've got a question for you . . . what size strings do you use. I've had this guitar for 40 years, but only played a little. It always sounded great. I started to get serious about playing guitar a couple of years ago and play mostly electric (teles). Anyway . . . it had the same strings on it that came with it . . . so . . . a year or so ago I replaced the strings (I can't remember what size) and it doesn't sound as good . . . I had a luthier make me a bone bridge to replace the rosewood bridge, but it still doesn't sound as good to me as it used to. I think I went to lighter strings and that might be the problem.
Do you know what gauge strings came with it?
What do you use?
Any info is appreciated . . .
Thanks . . . R
I do not know what strings your guitar originally came with but the majority of acoustic guitars are strung up originally with light guage (.11-.50 or somehere thereabouts). You can 'shock' the wood on your guitar by drastically changing the guage of your strings. If you were happy with your previous sound and tone you should take your old strings(if youstill have them) to a local music store and have someone who works there try to set you up with a similar set. You may have to try 6 or more sets of strings before you find the missing sound and tone you're looking for. It's well worth the search though after you find the right strings!
Personally I like the elixrs on my J-45 if I'm doing studio work where a mic is in front of my guitar. If I'm playing live I use D'Adarrio Nickle(12-52) on my acoustic. Yes nickles! My reason for using the nickle strings on my acoustic is they sound the same when I put them on as they do before they break. I play out alot (7-12 gigs a week) so my sound needs to be consistent. Nickle strings for me give me the best consistency with my sound and tone.
