i've just been recording a track on my new DP24 and i've used my Telecaster, my Wilson bass and my Crafter semi twice. i also had a strum of my fender F90 earlier which i haven't played for a couple of years, the strings were all sticky so i couldn't slide my fingers up and down the strings, time to change the strings, but i did pick out a nice riff that i'll be using on my next song.

hi p.callaby,

it's always a bad idea to put your email address up for all to see and in some cases may be used for bad intent. so may i suggest changing your "monika" or rejoin using another name not your email. and it's rude to use someone else's post to say hello or ask a question, so please in future begin your own post, and i would suggest using the chat forum to do so. as a member you can use any of the forums, but please keep in theme, eg; if you have a question on tuning go to the theory forum, or if your stuck on the chords for a song the song requests.

so after all that, welcome to chordie, please use all the resources take part in the conversations, but please follow the conventions and rules.

glad to hear your making progress 7, it is a super feeling when you find it's all coming together. but you must remember that quite a few of us members are nudging if not past that retirement age, but still busking or just enjoying the sweet tones and tunes made by our own sweet hands. you must keep us informed of your progress and busking plans....LOL. in the bullring perchance?

no, buddy bach, your directions were fine.

sorry i missed you yesterday, i tried to download the talk app, which just confused my tired mind. shall we try again tonight?

oooohhh yeah, i've set it up and made a trial recording. then i thought i'd try to record a song that i've been trying to get right for a couple of years "you got it" by roy orbison, and it's come out super.

it's a bit complicated at first, but once you get into it it's fine. i recommend it to any one, well not everyone...

sorry, i thought you'd just misspelt stratocaster...at 3 inches deep, i would expect it to sound rather like any narrow body semi acoustic, which wouldn't be anything like an everyday acoustic, lacking tone and volume

jerome, when i spoke to russ about it he said they were a lot cheaper in the states, but i cant afford to move there at the moment, so i'm playing the waiting game. last i heard was that it's now left (i hope) dubai and it's en route if not here in the UK, so hopefully delivery tomorrow, then i'll be very quiet for some time....

hi jim,

i bought my strat during the 70's, it's a mexican. truly easy guitar to play as the neck is not too wide or flat like a gibson. at that time i never used FX pedals so i was never very happy with the sound, till i played through a marshall at full volume!

about 10 years ago with the finger board and frets wearing down somewhat, i grudgingly bought a kort, which i regretted immediately! and a year or so later i bought my telecaster, which i'm delighted with. i just wish it had a tremolo arm..you cant have everything...

but yes, by all means get a strat and be happy, it's like having a stepford wife...lololol

well done russ. i heard the song and thought; nah, shan't bother, i'm with amy on this. where i like reggae, i also like heavy metal and funk. but i detest rap in any form. they call themselves modern poets, so write a book. i personally dont want to hear some cRAPPER, (took me ages to think of an acceptable word) repeating the same word over and over and it's usually a swear word, though to be honest, i couldn't make out any of the lyrics!
