    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    The fundamental fading out before other components is normal, and worth pointing out. There's enough to debate here without adding semantics but I'm glad we agree. Significant fret wear is definitely something to address. I detailed a couple of ways you might be able to confirm that or rule it...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    It is normal - It's just happening too much. Play any open string and let it ring long enough. Eventually you'll hear the 5th ring through. It'll be subtle but it'll happen. It comes back to what I said way near the start - Either the instrument is just easier to agitate at these particular...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Honestly, I think what you're hearing is what a guitar does. I believe you're hearing a natural component of the note you're playing, more so as the fundamental naturally fades, and also the same pitch from the sympathetic ringing of the open G string. Muting the other strings whilst...

    If you're biting your tongue and someone's shouting 'bullcrap', there are sides. I hope you get to the bottom of your issues.

    Egh, I can see both sides here. I appreciate the value of talking a thing out and covering all angles but there seems to be an absence of "I tried that and..." Lots of speculation and not a lot of proving anything. Maybe you haven't had time, maybe you don't feel up to it...whatever, but I...

    It might be worth it, if you can find a reputable tech. Proving, or disproving, certain things can be done. For example, the fact that you're finding the issue with B string fretted at first rules out the nut, unless what you're hearing is another open string sympathetically ringing. That's...

    What equipment do I need for therapy headphones!

    If I was trying it I'd be in control of my device and the client's device, so the client just gets headphones - Ideally bluetooth. For talk I'd use discord (potentially) for the easy of use and built in noise reduction, and for music I'd just play that directly on the client's device. The...

    What equipment do I need for therapy headphones!

    Just throwing it out there - This could all be achieved with a laptop and phone (or tablet) and a discord call with noise reduction enabled. No doubt other voice services have noise reduction too. 🤷 Technically you wouldn't even need microphones as the built in mics would probably be fine...

    I don't know - I'm taking a stab but it doesn't seem unreasonable. My guitar 'wants' to ring at F, and I hear your G-pitch overtones on my guitar but they sound natural; just part of the sound of the instrument. If it's easier for your instrument to resonate at certain pitches than mine maybe...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I hear harmonics playing some of those chords, sure, but not in a dominant annoying way (no pun intended). For example, if I pluck simultaneously, thumb and index finger, X-3-X-3-X-X That's C + Bb, the makings of C7, I'll clearly hear the G that isn't there, with all X strings muted. Might...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    So go do it then. :oops: You could find that changing the saddle makes a difference to what you're hearing. Alternatively you could find that the offensive ringing frequencies you're hearing have a relationship to the resonant frequency of the instrument. Either way, though, you'd have test...

    I'd still replace the saddle, if only for testing. It looks fine is no use. I'd be curious where your guitar naturally resonates and if that relates to the specific frequencies of this issue. My Yamaha rings like a bell if I sing an F in to it - You can feel the whole thing vibrate (with the...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    As before, not sure if it's what you're hearing but I do hear a sine-wave like ringing at around 795-800hz. corresponding to the 5th of his C chords. You can actually hear it ringing out on his final held chord right before he speaks, almost like electric guitar feedback. There's a pretty large...

    What were the results from these suggestions from earlier? -try in a different room -try a different mic -change strings -ensure that saddle and nut are perfect -use inspection mirror to check for lifted bracing -ensure bridge isn't lifting - see if thin paper can go under it anywhere If...

    What’s a good laptop for production

    Not the prettiest looking app in the world, but it does the job! I stopped fighting windows updates a long time ago. In the end I added all their domains to my pi hole so it can try to download updates all it wants - It won't happen. :ROFLMAO:
