Wayne, you bugger.  You beat me to it.  Do hurry and post pics and let us know how she plays.  That is my next purchase, if I can swing it, but not for awhile.  Meanwhile, let's hear about it.

Yes, but you clinched the deal, Roger.

Well, you guys keep up the good work.  Although, I must be honest.  I like a little turmoil once in awhile.

Welcome Sakon.  I do believe that number is the fret you start at, but I'm not positive.

Yes, mekidsmom, always lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce on the deviants.  Way to go.

Thanks for the info, bswyers.  It's always good to have places to go to get ideas on repairs

I have Martin mediums on also, but I may be willing to give the new ones a try.  Let us know after some serious use how they are.

You'll notice soyboy, that only once was an actual brand brought up.  These guys are right on.  Play a bunch of them in your price range.  You may be surprised at the outcome.  Trying them out will give you the actual feel and playability of the guitar.  Each one is different.  So, take your time, go to as many music stores as you can find and get the personal feel of each one.  You will know when you have picked up the right one for you.  What is right for me may not be for you.  And good luck.  Let us know what you end up getting and how you like it.

No argument from me BuzzWagon.  SRV was the best.

Unless the song specifically shows an intro, and some do, I just do the same as tandm3.  Just go through the chords in the verse and then start singing.  The chords start speaking for themselves as you are singing.

I get on here a few times every day to see what is going on.  We all check out most of the posts, but are not always interested in all of them.  It's pretty common.

Good day Old Doll and bolleauxp.  Both fine songs.  Here is an old CCR tune.

I used to run when I was younger.  Never did a marathon.  Too hard on the legs and back later in life.  Now I just walk and stay busy in the yard.  I am very active otherwise.  Good luck on your big run.

I like ypour answer best topdown, or alberts.  I think there are more of us in that boat than we figure.  That's a good thing.  If a piano player can put his music in front of him, then why not me.  At least I can take my instrument anywhere I choose.

Good to see you again, Old Doll.

I have noticed that Saturday is usually the quieter day in here.
