Go up a size or use a softer pick.

Re: Electric Guitar Volume (18 replies, posted in Electric)
I have always kept the knobs all the way up. Back in the 80s, I had an old telestar guitar "Fixed up". They needed a spot to put a toggle switch so I had the tone control removed. I would have had the volume removed if needed. Unless you need to turn it down and don`t want to get up, it may be useful. Then again, if you have to stop playing to listen to something, there would be no need to turn it down.

Re: not a stringed insturment (6 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
A guy left an accordian in his car with the windows open hoping it would get stolen. When he came back, he found 2 accordians. All kidding aside. I had one. They are heavy, extremely hard to play. Try it and you will have a new respect for accordian players. All I could play was the riff to "In A Gadda Da Vida". Then I gave up. I may try a concertina eventually.

My daughter Gabrielle has her first song finished. It is available for download on Sound Cloud. Gabrielle- Velvet elvis acoustic cover. Needless to say I am partial so it is the best I have ever heard. All the music and vocals and backup vocals are done by her. What does everyone think? Note: she is only 15.

Re: New strummer (maybe) (11 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
My daughter started out with a Squier mini strat. She was 9 at the time. Within a year she was using full size guitars. An electric is the way to go (my opinion). An amp can be turned down low. Or buy an amp that is not that loud to begin with. A honeytone ius cheap and does the job.

Re: guitar repair (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
If it still plays and sounds good, leave it and think of it as a 1000 dollar lesson. If you intend to keep it. Then you won`t have to worry about value. My 59 gibson LG 2 looks like it went through a war and still plays and sounds good. It aint broke, so I wont fix it. Including holes and a crack

I know what he means. it`s a celebrity death watch, only with musicians. Waiting for musicians to die. Examples- Chuck Berry, Pete Seeger. Anyone who is old or in poor health. It is kind of morbid. My wife and I play celebrity death game. When a famous well known person dies, you have to be the first to tell the other.

Re: Top 5 things I like about Chordie (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
This is the friendliest and easiest site to use. I used it for years before I was a member. Almost like a family. And If you want just one song, you can find it here most of the time. Faster and easier than buying a book for that one song. Plus, I noticed if you come on here causing trouble, we all stick together.
