Has anyone tried wavepad yet? its free, not as many options as Audacity and certainly not heavy duty like reaper or cubase, but for some fast easy to use software,, it is pretty cool,, uses vst also,,, time to start downloading some, (i just never played with them in Audacity)

i noticed this problem with a friends guitar, he put strings on that were too light. i would recommend a 12 guage set for acoustic guitar any lighter and they would bend too much while strumming. only a thought. welcome to chordie
When I started I always used an electric set of 9s on my guitar,, never had an issue. could be a saddle or nut is over grooved.
Best thing is take it to a trusted shop and ask them to check it out.

Nao, use one of the things i posted for the neck.
as of right now,, all my acoustic have thick shoestrings holding them.
The ovation has a pin under the neck but I dont like where it makes the guitar sit.

WEll dont hold your breath for too long LOLOL it may take a few daysLOLOL
So for the rest of you guys here is what I am working with.
Tell me lady
Have you seen god lately?
So much going on with humanity
Have your prayers to him helped us to see?
Tell me sister,
Do you sit in your cloister
Praying for me?
Praying for the world to see?
Oh sister shine some love,
Love on me,
Sister shine some
love on me
Day by day as we kneel and pray
The world goes crazy as god stands watching stoically
You wear your habits for our redemption
And gods glory, it’s starting to sound like a child’s story
Oh sister shine some love,
Love on me,
Sister shine some
love on me

Re: Acoustic Guitar Strap (28 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
DJ, just call them and describe what you want and they may be able to give you a rough estimate. (just from what i have seen on prices of good leather,, you should be ready for anywhere from 50 to 200)

The shop proprietor has an old LP Hi-Fi on which he spins Led Zeppelin and Strawberry Alarm Clock and other such disks. Saddle leather is not the only memorable smell there.
Sounds like my kind of place!

Beamer,
The racing strip strap would look good in my Mach V!One of my unasked questions was leather versus something else. I see a lot of leather straps but I was thinking of something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009G3DNQ/ref … B0029IYQCY
Also, I have a handmade cloth "belt" I bought while traveling over seas. I bought it for my daughter but it has come back to me. I would never wear it as intended but it could be used to make a unique guitar strap. I am considering this. My sister is quite the seamstress and could make it for me.

That one is nice also.I have my very first guitar strap that is something like that. it has corduroy on the inside to keep it from sliding around on you. I like the looks of this one myself. but I really like the padded ones. You should take the strap from your daughter to the shop Zurf mentioned, they may be able to incorporate it on to an existing strap for much less than a full custom one.

Re: guitar comparison (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
My 2 cents,, You sound like your ready to dump some cash,, I understand beginner guitars being quickly outgrown,, however if you dont HAVE to get caught up in the Big 3, or 4 top names. I have bought this very nice guitar for my son,, and I love it! I would suggest you take a look at guitarfettish dot com. here is the link to the one I bought and the step up. these are very wel made guitars. As with any guitar you buy,, you will need to have it set up and possible (due to the lower price) need the frets filed as they are sometimes sharpish. but over all,, everyone who has picked up this guitar can not believe how good it is.
This is the one we have at home http://www.guitarfetish.com/Sunburst-Cu … _8013.html
this is the one I want also http://www.guitarfetish.com/XV220SCE-Me … _8104.html
and the top one they have is still a great deal an d look at its features! http://www.guitarfetish.com/SUNBURST-So … _4740.html
also DEAN makes some beautiful A/E guitars http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitars/dean
Hope this helps. Just remember that no matter what guitar you buy even the big 3, they all need to be set up for your playing style.

Re: Inspiration (2 replies, posted in Songwriting)
you know I once heard a famous artist (Darn if i can remember who) say that every one of his early hits were all about the same girl, even after 15 yrs she could still inspire songs. I have that place I go to also. As of now I have 4 songs that are inspired by the same girl from long ago. (I guess you never do forget your first girl who twisted you out) . My recent ones have been inspired by just looking around my town, and watching the news or interesting clips on FB. The darker ones start there, and I go into a imaginary story line and make the target real. That is probably the best way I can describe it. and some just hit me out of no where LOLOL.
