    Pulled a coupla guitars from storage for general cleaning and love recently

    Though I'm not a fan of gold, that is a nice looking guitar. I think anyone would be proud to suffer through strapping that one on. Gold isn't necessarily a minus, it just doesn't age well, imo. If that is a recent photo of yours, after 22 years it's holding up well, mint.

    Guitar strap color to match Gibson’s cream appointments

    When I was a kid first transitioning from acoustic to electric, I was also purchasing a lot of music mags, lots of pictures and centerfold posters of my fave guitar gods. Had lots of posters on my walls, many of Jimmy Page/Zeppelin. I could not understand why rarely if ever there was a photo of...

    Guitar strap color to match Gibson’s cream appointments

    In a (musical) 3 piece where you're tasked with the double duty of playing both rhythm (chords) and lead passages, hanging low can have its advantages. Rather than playing straight bar chords, hanging low it is easier to wrap your thumb over the top of the neck for lower notes, the remainder of...

    Horrible resonances

    If I have an opinion, i'm leaning towards what Steen was saying earlier in the thread. We've all been there, drums sitting idle, someone's say plucking on a bass. At some point the snare goes nuts active. That Martin resonates at certain frequencies. The only remedy I would think is some sort of...

    Horrible resonances

    Any progress, luck? I'm not a luthier. I change strings, most everything else I prefer to trust it in someone elses hands. That said.... I think what I was getting at: If you do that plucking/dampening with the right hand thing I mentioned, perhaps, even if you're not detecting an obvious fret...

    Horrible resonances

    Nah, I think you're wrong there, friend. People do care. Rumor has it there is interest among folks within these pages in the sound(s) that eminate from wooden boxes overlayed with tensioned strings. People love a mystery. They also love resolution, even if the resolution is subjective, all in...

    Horrible resonances

    Maybe less time typing on the innernet and more time process of elimination would be more productive towards sorting the problem. I'm not trying to be snide, sometimes comes a point you got take that bull by the horns. Anyone hearing a similar phenom who stumbles upon this thread might benefit...

    The 1st Guitar Riff You Learned was?

    Started on acoustic. Migrating to electric, chords & finger picking to riffsville? Probably Black Dog. Sbeen a long time ago, I may have already learned Over the Hills and Far Away on acoustic as of that point, if that counts. Whatever it was, it was likely Page, Zeppelin.

    The process

    Hate it when that happens. Often the most uniquely structured, something you can hang your hat on as original. A unique transition chord that leads to a curve ball direction, and then making your way back home again. Even if later you manage to remember the chord structure the vocal line or feel...

    Cool Vibes

    Fact or fiction? It is more pronounced on cables with old growth copper and insulation, otherwise, cable touching the horn or not, it will still require plugging into an amp to practice?

    The process

    The other, recorded by Chesney, that bought Stapleton a house. A bit more "bro country" than the other recorded by Strait. Chris doesn't say if he had Chesney in mind when writing the song, but he almost doesn't have to, it sounds like a Chesney song. I still prefer Stapleton 's version...
