Hey all it's been a bit... Was just sitting around doing a little picking and for some reason I thought of our old Chordie packet we made. For those newer to the site, we made a packet of picks (and other music related items) that where mailed to forum members with each one taking a little something from it and adding somethings to pass on to others. Any of the more seasoned members know what happened to this?

Topic: Missing the old days.. (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Picked up the guitar for first time in about 6 months and was picking some this evening. i really got to missing the old days when I used to play an average of 4 hrs a day but have just drifted away from it over the past few years.. I miss being on here and talking to all the great people that frequented the forum. Just thought I'd drop in and say hello to all the friends from back in the day (and a hello to any new ones to be made). i plan to start playing more and being more active here in the future hope evryone has been well1

I'll look into it dude The family and I are planning a florida vacation early this year so maybe we can coordinate the date to hit the event. Last time we went we had to rent a room for 3days just to have somewhere to keep the guitars cause I wouldn't leave home without them lol

Re: Oiling fret board (26 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)

A well-oiled rosewood fretboard is essential to protecting your guitar's neck and its overall value. If a fretboard becomes too dry it can cause warping and cracking. Protecting your guitar's fretboard can be accomplished with very little effort. Preventative maintenance is the best insurance for any instrument.
I agree with this... I oil mine (lemon or olive) after cleaning the fretboard when changing strings.

Re: 4 questions (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
1. 90% fingers and 10% pick...
2. Mostly over the soundhole but really depends on the sound I'm looking for.
3. Mine wear pretty even all over the board but there's always a little more in the first 4-5. I've done 2 complete refrets and one partial in the past 6 years. (not all that was my play wear though)..
4. Nope... Never had any trouble with strings

Re: Strings (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I loosen mine a little and then snip them about 2 inches from the bridge... Then you can reach in the sound hole and push the pins up after doing like Wayne said and pushing the strings down to unseat them. Also I disagree with Zurf about not leaving them unstrung... It does no harm whatsoever to leave a guitar unstrung for extended periods of time. I have 4 in cases now with no strings and they won't get new ones till I'm ready to add them to the playing cycle. The only downside is that it takes a little more time for the tuning to stabalize when you restring but the benefits like less bellying, less chance of damage from stress and such is well worth it IMO...
