Well it doesn't look like i'll ever see snow anymore. All it will do here in middle Georgia is rain for a whole week now. I'm feeling kind of waterlogged. It would be nice to have a little snow for Christmas but not enough to really make everything shut down.

I notice pick clicking when i attempt the index/thumb hold on a pick. I usually pinch mine against my index and middle with my thumb. That way it adds a bend in the pick and gives it a little stability. Does anyone else hold their pick this way?

The Little Martin is a great sounding 3/4 size guitar. It sounds like a full sized guitar just not as loud. Then Taylor has the Baby Taylor that is a 3/4 size that is just as good. I think both are priced at around $300. As for parlor size look at Seagull and Yamaha APX series. The Fender Malibu is also pretty good for the money.

Well I haven't traveled much but the best place i have been is to the Blue Ridge Mnts in Tennessee. The peace and tranquil mountain scenery makes being part of this world a little better with each visit. One day i hope to get over to Montana and up to the Pennsylvania countryside and over to Ireland/Scotland because i understand these places to be very picturesque with beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Hey Topdown thats really cool to see part of my hometown on a map like that. I'm glad i took a part in this.

Pix i found some Dunlop nylon pics with the raised grip in there i really like. You have to throw it down to get it out of your fingers. I will be getting a few more of those to use along with my tortex pics.

Well i just got them here back on American soil. There are some good ones. I took a few and i've added a few and a lefty pic guard. The first one to email me their address gets them.

Congrats for making so many years together. Hope you and Mrs. Zurf have many more together.

Zurf if you've found a Tacoma in any model for $500 it would be the deal of your life. I just tried one a couple weeks ago and i thought it was nice but it's not for me. Anyways it was on sale for $950 in the shop that I frequent which is usually a good deal spot. As for the 12 strings I would stay away from the lower end brands because they don't hold up very well and you will spend more time keeping it tune than playing it.

I like the bare look of an acoustic but i do have an older cheap guitar that i took liberties with and added my own art work. I painted outlines of wingflames surrounding the outer edges of the top and it looks pretty good. I will try and post pics of it one day when i can I'm usually at work when i'm on here. You don't have to settle for ordinary but i would'nt mess up a high quality guitar with too much art or decoration.

I've been through alot of different strings and have found Ernie Ball coated phosphor bronze to sound the best. What kind are you using now? Sometimes it's more than just the strings that need to be changes to mellow out a guitar. You might be interested in changinfg the bridge pins from plastic to wood. That will mellow out the tone for sure.

Congrats Cam on the new guitar i hope you enjoy it for a long time. I tried one like it a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. Unfortunatly i will have to wait til next year for it. I have a loving and supportive wife also but she has to have a new laptop this year. I need to win the lotto with Zurf. Just too many wants and not enough gots for me.

The ultimate sad love gone wrong song is whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley/Allison Krauss.

I agree with the happy songs though.
