I am convinced a really good player can take a cheap guitar and make it sound great. It is also the better players who want the best guitars. I personally know players who started on a very cheap mass produced guitars and play some wonderful music.
Do you buy the best? Do you still have your first guitar?
Wow that is a great looking . Shows a lot of planning. You could most likely produce that plan for others too. The wood makes the look. The TF adds to it too.
Tenement Funster thank you for postings the other drummers. I just listened to some of each of them and their setups. Each one is great in different ways. Interesting what money can do for drummer's setups. Neil Peart seems to move less than some of the others. Just to mention it I saw an interview given by Neil Peart when he was not wearing is cap. Now I know why he wears it.
I have noticed it too. Why they do it is because they are junk as is their spam. It seems to be increasing and I have often thought that saying it takes 5 days before you can post might help eliminate some of it. It would also be harder on new good members too.
Take a look at Neil Peart 10 minute drum solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWRMOJQDiLU#t=5.500458
Good sound. Did you notice the drummer's setup? Most complete setup I have seen in a long time.
He is very good. I just can not get accustomed to someone using a very expensive and good guitar as a drum. Guess if you are paid enough the cost of a guitar is minimal to them. Loved the photo of Willie Nelson. He has aged along with Trigger. Both still sound good though.
TIGLJK I really like this song and many of the lines show some deep thought. "to[C] find a girl that fits me like a poet's [G] rhymes " is a great line.
Peatle Jville thank you for sharing your poem. After reading it I had some thoughts that some of the poems and original songs can mean something entirely different to each menber reading it. That is good if it makes us think and also each members experiences are different and sometimes that can change a meaning too.
Just listen to it and enjoyed watching. I thought the bass player was one of the best.

At his age if he continues on drums he is going to be great.
welcome to Chordie.
I looked on line too and could not find chords or tabs for the song although I found several other songs by Jake Coco. I have two suggestions depending on how badly you want the song. First visit your local music store and either order guitar sheet music or the book for the CD with the album that has the song on it. From what I read both should be available depending on which your music store can get. If you buy the book for the CD you would have chords for many more of his songs.
Years ago when I was 16 we rented a small house at the beach. At that time I was just starting to play classical guitar and doing a basic thumb and two fingers was the best I could do but it still sounded good. I was sitting in the screen in porch and watching the beach. Around 6:00 PM I could hear some wonderful music from the larger house next door. It turned out when I went over closer to listen and it was Peter Yarrow, Noel (Paul) Stookey and Mary Travers. They invited me in and we stayed up until sunrise and they let me play some with them. Peter and Paul at that time where playing with classical guitars too. I already knew who they were. And as good as the Peter and Paul were, Mary Travers was the one who had the best voice by far. When I got back to our house and told them the story no one else believed me. By the next day they were gone.
As good as he is, some of them are hard on a guitar. Guess for them it is a small price to pay for their abilities. I think most of Chordie members take care of the guitars they play.
When I play in large place I use two C12VR that are omni directional and in one place I played I used the same mics but their system stopped working after just a few minutes. It turned out to be a blown tube and they had no backup at all. I had a small amp in the car that was in no way adequate for the size but that is all that worked. I guess sometimes part might work when nothing else is available. Hope the problem being discussed is smaller rather than bigger.

I wish it was that easy. Loved the image
Yes I agree. I used bone because I thought the same. After he came I tied tusk first and the sound was different but not better. then I tried plastic with a special raised area for the B string. It completely changed the sound and corrected what I was hearing. Now it sounds like it should have from the start. I was amazed that plastic and not the bone I used would make such a change for the best. I guess what he said about bone today was more true than I thought. I will buy a camera later today and email some photos to those who asked. I had to change strings again and still the same string.
Here is an update. My friend who has made many guitars, and has the setup to made 4 guitars at the same time. During his visit hr first used a Fiber Optic Scope to check construction and bracing and then measured the thickness of the top. What he finally said was the guitar was built correctly and since I used bone he suggested using either plastic or tusk. He still uses bone or ivory but he said he has to buy 10 to get one that is acceptable and he uses a high power microscope to check each piece. He said what is buys now is not the same quality as he bought five years ago. Some bone is actually walrus tusk being sold as something else. If that does not work to correct the sound than he does not know what else would work. Once I make these changes and if it corrects the sound, than I will email each that asked about pictures to them. It will take 2 to 3 days and I will buy both tusk and plastic and see which corrects the sound. He used the same strings I use so it should not help the try others strings.
An update . When I finished the guitar and played I made one mistake that has been corrected. I used Scheller turners which are some of best, and bone for the nut and saddle. The strings I used are D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte the same string I have used on every classical guitar I have ever used. Last night a luthier friend and one I bought some guitars from, and sold my collection when I moved to Yamaha classical guitars when I realized others could not hear the difference in a concert, talked with me for a long time on the phone. I went through all that I had done and where I found the sounds off. Even the finish was what he said was right and the same as his are unless a customer ask for something else. Long story short he is going to visit me next week. The frets, string height, etc. are all what they are suppose to be. The bracing is a traditional fan type. So he said he was passing though close enough he is going to bring a fiber optical scope to check the inside and will check the outside and let me know what I can do to improve the end sound. He has built and sold over 1,500 classical guitars so I am still hopeful he can find what I did wrong or what would improve the sound.
After 14 months I just finished my first hand made classical guitar. The ones I normally play I bought, making one has always been something I wanted to do. The long time period was to set up a proper area to work and an area for sticks made the right way to put pressure on for drying time. I used a maple neck, ebony fret board and bridged, red cedar top and back, and rosewood sides. The top, back, and sides are all solid wood. I bought a rosette already made. That is one part I would not attempt.
I did not work every day but when I did I enjoyed making this one. After playing for so many years I wanted to try it. In reality it make much more sense to buy the guitars you you want. The sound and how it plays is not as good as I had hoped and does not equal the 6 Yamaha guitars I now have. But at least I made one not knowing how it would sound in the end.
Have any of you made any type of guitar? How did it turn out?
I know no words can truly comfort you. My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. Strummerboy Bill I hope you and Dondra can find some peace in each other.
This is an incredible song and poem. My eyes got wet just reading it. This song is as close to perfect as anyone could write. Please let us know if you record it I hope you do so we can hear it too.
I read on a couple of news sites early today. This was very sad and he was still young enough I thought we would have him for longer than age 69. There are some some great ones still touring at that age. Rest in peace Mr. Allman. You will be missed.
