Check this video of my friend Ellen Skourti who often used to play with us in Crete.I think Ellen would be a great artist for a Greek Eurovision entry . Please listen and share the vid it would really help.

I've since replaced the low E with a regular D string and tuned it up to E gives a better banjo sound .

Re: acoustic amps? (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I just use a Roland street cube in the house or if I'm doing a small venue , It has mic .guitar and aux inputs , models several amps has an acoustic simulator as well for use with electric guitar and a variety of effects very good sound and not stupidly priced . It can also be used on battery or mains . Most street musicians use them over here .

Topic: Banjitar or 6 string banjo (11 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Just picked up a second hand Banjitar the other day one or two minor issues as it had been messed around by some one who had no idea how to set the thing up.The tail piece had been bent and fitted wrong also it had been fitted with heavy gauge acoustic guitar strings .All pretty easy fixes.I also fitted some acoustic damping foam inside the head to make it play at a sensible volume as it was very loud .It now sounds much better and plays well .I may put a thinner low E on to give a better banjo sound but for now I'm happy.

Struggling with my voice at the moment again and I've a couple of solo gigs coming up this month so I'm not singing with the band at the moment. Hopefully it will settle but since getting covid in March I've had a recurring problem but I'll send how I feel after this week ends session

Thanks for listening

Isn't that cool? You heard it totally differently. I hope a competent bluesman (or woman) (or someone who isn't sure one way or another) can take it on as a project and give us a third wholly different approach.

I'm talking about Graham.

Re: BUY AN ELECTRIC GUITAR FOR BEGINNER (9 replies, posted in Electric)
Dont buy a poor quality instrument with bad stability and high action look for something better a second hand Yamaha Pacifica is a good start cheap cheerful stays in tune and sounds great .I often use mine live in preference to various other high end guitars in my collection .An electric guitar can often be more comfortable to play than an acoustic but at the end it really depends on what genre you are aiming at . A good compromise between the two would be Ovations Applause series as they are acoustic guitars with a slim electric type neck very comfortable to use .Hope this helps

Topic: Schaal Guitars Vintage 1930s parlour guitar (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
My band mate Robert has just picked up a nice old Schaal Parlour guitar . I havent been able to find any info except for two from the same manufacturer on Reverb . I suspect Schall may have been one of the German Migma collective of luthiers but cant find any references so far , The guitar has a manufacturers stamp burned into the body . Any Help gratefully received.
