Re: forgot how good it is (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
That sounds like my last golf tournament experience. Shotgun start on a par 3 with very little warm up. I step up to the tee and hit it within 10' and putted it in for birdie. I think we only used 2 more of my shots the whole day! I thought I was the only one that believed in the finite number of good swings per round theory. I don't know if I am good enough to teach you anything but the offer stands if you want to play with others let me know. My neighbor just picked up an acoustic and I am currently teaching him chords. I would like to put together a group of folks to get together and play, I always find that to be the best way to learn as well as the most inspiring method of learning.

As close as we live to each other we should try to get together and play. I don't have the best rhythm either but I can usually work out a simple strumming pattern that makes the song recognizable. I can now sing (I use the word sing very loosely here) and play at the same time and I have even sung in front of people other than my family. I may be able to help you out with some of the things you are wanting to learn. I am kind of at a stand still where I continue to do the same things and I have been looking to work on fingerpicking and scales in order to progress in my playing.

It looks like Monday was when the odometer hit 200,000 miles, I think getting fired was part of the story of how he acquired the car.

I would try looking down the vent with a good light first, a snake may push it into your pipes and cause a bigger headache. I think you should have a vent for each tie in to your main line, I know I do, so it is possible for one vent to plug up and have one slow drain.

Re: Talk to me about Yairi Pix... (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Thanks for the info, I found a great looking 12 string at Guitar Center but I am not interested in a 12 string. I did play around with it and even with 11 strings, all of which needed changing it sounded way better and played way easier that the Sigma that was hanging next to it.
Naoslager, I did see the ones on Craigslist recently, that is what made me think of them again. I have to sell some guitars to build up a fund in case one comes up again.

Topic: Talk to me about Yairi Pix... (13 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I am looking to upgrade from entry level guitars but I am not looking to spend $2000.00 plus on a Martin or Gibson. I know you are a big fan of these guitars and have seen some information on here you have provided on them. I am basically a strummer and I play old country music, I like a mellow balanced sound. I think I saw a post where you recommended getting an earlier model guitar versus a new one. What models would you recommend, what years of production and what are the price ranges you would pay for them?

Re: Am I the only one... (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I love Hank the First and Hank the Third, but Hank the Second never did it for me. "New" country is really just "Old 80's hair music" dressed up in boots instead of bandannas. There is a crop of youngsters out there that have gone way old school, and I like that a whole lot better. Justin Townes Earl, Hank III, Zoe Muth, all under 30, and sound like they've been lost in the west for decades.
Hank III is playing in Seattle Monday night. I may go see him. I've seen JTE half a dozen times, and I discovered Zoe Muth when she opened for him.
Jr used to do the Hank Sr impersonation when he first started out, although he was not as good as III is at it. They both went their own direction in music, I don' think I would call Jr "new country" though. I did look up Justin Townes Earl and I do like him, he is better than hid dad. I don't like the metal stuff that III has done but he is talented at old school and outlaw country music.

Check out All in Alabama, he wrote that one after he fell off the mountain and nearly died. Eyes of Waylon is a great song, The Ballad of Hank Williams is funny, and check out Blues Man.
