Have also been having LOGIN issues for the past few days. It comes up with a message, something to the effect:

I can't quote it exactly, and can't "copy & paste", or I wouldn't be able to post. I use Google Chrome, and have my settings to allow cookies from Chordie. Is it a bug with Chordie, or am I doing something wrong in my settings?

Thanks, CG ...

The D10CE is the one I was originally referring to in the above post, and ordered / bought it in October. I posted a pic here in the Acoustic Forum, called "New Guitar Day". I sold my Larrivee D02 for about the same as what the Cordoba cost, and couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the post with a pic of it in my arms:

Is this the best tutorial ever ... or what?!?!?!

Mike Chapdelaine gives a step-by-step lesson on to learn this great piece he plays in my Oct 15, 2015  post above ("Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye). So this is my project, to learn this song. Mucha practicia necesaria!!!

We had +40 cms (16") dumped on us in 18 hours, between Monday 6:00pm and yesterday noon. It was delivered by high winds, which made driving impossible due to no visibility and lots of drifting. It's nothing like the crazy volumes we saw last winter, so none of us Canucks are complaining ... not very much, anyway.

Someone else mentioned about some of the poetry being chopped short, so I had a look through some that I'd posted. Sure enough, most of them are cropped to only a few lines. Are they gone beyond recovery? If so, they can be re-posted at the original place.

Welcome to Chordie, CG!

I'm especially grateful that you're here, as I began taking classical guitar lessons several years ago, but didn't stick with it. Your post has encouraged me to revisit the fundamentals I was taught, and I only hope I can follow through with the consistent practice needed to get good at it. My teacher insisted that I start without an anchor finger (wrist above the space between the soundhole & bridge) and I found it challenging, to say the least. I think I was trying to learn too many new skills at once, and got discouraged.

Your post has me looking at learning one thing at a time, and I think I'll get along better that way. Thanks!!!

I'm not an electronics specialist by any means, UJB, so have to rely on others who are ... an awkward place to be!

Apparently, solid state circuits either work or they don't, but tubes can go bad and show symptoms over time. They can squeal, hiss, hum, pop, etc. Or the tone can get lower, dirtier, noisey, rattle, etc. I carefully pulled all the tubes from my amp last evening, and am going to have them tested before forking out approx. $25 each to replace them (3 - 12AX7's and 4 - 6L6's). There could be other causes of this intermittent snowy / static sound I'm getting, but everything I read and everyone I ask tells me to start with cleaning the pots and tube sockets (done), and then check the tubes themselves.

The cool by-product of this exercise is that I'm learning some things as I go, which is always rewarding in itself.

David Gilmour    "Astronomy Domine"    Abbey Road,  2006

Pink Floyd's 1969 album UmmaGumma was the first prog album I ever heard. I was 12 years old, and immediately entranced. I had just started playing guitar a few years before, and had basically just learned some 3-chord stuff that my father taught me. It was fine, I wanted something a bit more complex and imaginative. Although this song was originally written and performed by Syd Barrett (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, 1967) it was the Gilmour version of Astronomy Domine that started my lifelong love affair with Prog Rock. Most will remember the alternating mirror images on the album cover.

Looking good, Per, Roger, etc. Very nice updates!

Great setup at a very nice price ... get yer grunt on, man!

I'm eye-balling a couple of smaller tube amps right now, so I can get one that's more portable. My Peavey weighs nigh on 80 lbs, and although I love the sound / power, it's brutal to move around. The front runners are a Bugera V22 Infinium, an Ibanez TSA15, a Marshall DSL15C, and a Traynor YCV20. I was quite impressed with how the Bugera sounds (it's also the least expensive) despite some of the bad reviews they get.

Nice new guitar, KevinRK ... congratulations!

I'll confess that I'd never heard of Teton Guitars, so looked yours up on their site. It's got all the right wood combinations (cedar top for a deep rich tone), a Fishman ISYS pickup system (top grade stuff), and is a fine looking instrument to top it all off. Based on your description and the manufacturer's specs, you've got yourself a terrific guitar. It's commendable that you took the time to ensure that it fit you correctly ... very important.

I hope you have many years of enjoyment with it!
