1) How do you strum ?   only with fingers no pick or 50/50 what percent?

2) Do you strum mostly over the sound hole or up on the neck

3) Has anyone noticed dents or grooves on the fret bars especially 1st 2nd and 3rd under the  the 1st 2nd and 3rd strings.

4) Has anyone every bought strings and found they were packaged wrong.  I think someonr messed up and put the 1st and 2nd string in the wrong bag.

OK great topic.  Let me ask you experts this.  What sound qualities do strings lend?  In other words twangy mellow bassy  buzzy etc.

In my very short and limited experience I’ve used only medium but found a set of light in the bottom of my draw. I found the lights to be kinda “twangy”

I’ve also read somewhere  that some guitars can not take medium or heavy strings because it pulls  on the neck to much. (is this true?)

My friends wife is blonde.  That may not be an issue but one day when looking at the gold fish in my 135 gal tank, she asked me "how do the babies eat?   I asked What?  She said, and I quote...."where are the nipples".

( if this is wrong,  I remove it immediately )

OK I very serious about buying another acoustic guitar.  I want an electric acoustic in the $300 range.  There are a few sites giving no intrest for 1-2 years.  If we can mention sites here....

Who would you buy from and why...

How do you submit a pic.  I want to put one on my post about customizing you guitar.

I haven't noticed any difference.  Keep in mind this plastic is very thin.  Sometimes the art is small and off to the edges.  right now I have an 8"  cobalt blue butterfly on it.  Also it peels off in seconds and  I don't keep them on long so there is no chance of it leaving a Permanent mark.

It's a $200 fender acoustic I bought new. I take care of my stuff  so the guitar still looks new.   It's my first guitar that's almost 3 years old.  I did put a smaller brown/yellow one on my epiphone les paul.

Rest assured if I could ever afford a Martin or somthing similar I wouldn't be sticking anything on it

OK guys because I'm a very visual guy I was getting bored with the way my guitar looked. Soooo,  I went to staples or office depot I forget and picked up some  acid free  "clear sticker project paper"  my brand is Avery but I'm sure there are others.

Now go to any site get pics, save em, print em,  on this sticky paper cut them out stick them on and enjoy a new look.

It didn't't harm my finish when I removed it.  If it leaves any residue peel it off and wax your guitar.

I"ve put on butterflys skuls, humingbirds, lighening bolts flowers whatever you want.

NOTE: MAKE SURE IT IT CLEAR STICKY PAPER.  Don't let it get wet or rub against it.  The ink may come off.  I' post a pic but I don't know how to do that.

tuba,  They work, I just can't get them lined up with the lyrics..HELP again

Great idea on tuning down 1/2 then using the capo.   But let's say the I'm normally tuned can and  what fret can I put the capo on to be in tune with the 1/2 down or would the capo be to high on the neck???

I've been running into a lot of songs that say " tune down 1/2 step" 
I don't have a second  acustic guitar to keep tuned down so..............

I found a really nice transposer online but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use it.  I make it tune up 1/2 step but its doesn't come out right.

OR........................

Is there an easy way to just use the Capo???

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

And they wonder why people go nuts and start shooting the place up.

I feel bad for you.  I grew up with loving parents who backed me in what ever I did.

My mom played the accordion who passed it on to me.  Later in m 20’s I picked up a guitar and started teaching myself.  I finally got the job that I wanted all my life and the guitar went to last place on my list of priorities.

I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting Blaine Larsen and Mat McIntyre at my work place.  It was great, a rainy July day.  They were waiting to go for an interview at my local country radio station.  They never got the call and with that they spent the afternoon in my cigar shop playing for me and whatever customer walked in.  That gave me a renewed interest and I’m back to playing for the last year and a half. 

To you youngsters  out there who are  reading this. DON’T QUIT.  YOU’LL BE SORRY.

  If I had 35 years of playing under my belt I can only imagine how good I’d be.  Instead I’m back to beginner status.  My friend Mike who plays professionally says I’m pretty good for only a year and a half of playing .

I’M 58  now and wish I never quit.
