I like some of the Prog you have listed. You have to appreciate the musical ability of many of the player and some will play guitar, a horn, and a violin in the same song. With that kind of talent I thought more would listen to them. I have listened to some you have listed and some sound better than others and all of them are interesting.
Where do you find them to list. Is there a Prog radio station where you live?
A lot of them produced in China and Mexico and some other countries, the guitar brand often build their own factories so production is controlled. It should not affect sound and play ability.
I am the odd one on Chordie in that i play by mostly reading music. The hardest part of teaching new students is teaching them how to read music and read and learn the timing of songs. After that they learn to play chords and tabs.
I do understand and like your music sheet. Would like to be able to print a sheet like that.
Welcome to Chordie and for your first post.
The first song you mentioned is indexed on Chordie and here is the link: http://www.chordie.com/song.php/songart … index.html
The second song Island of dreams when I researched it there are at least 3 different songs by the same title. If you know who sang the song it would help to identify it.
Thank you will do.
Does anyone know where Strummerboy Bill has been? I have not seen him post for some time .
Great take on Eleanor Rigby. I really enjoyed listening to it.
Most Classical Guitars have 18 1/2 frets as standard. The 1/2 fret is at the sound hole and is not playable. I don't honestly know if the 20 and 22 frets mentioned on other types of guitars means a longer neck or if it means closer frets than on a classical. If anyone has both steel strings with 20 or 22 frets and also has a classical guitar maybe they will notice and let me know.
I am so looking forward to the day of JJJ's announcement that he now owns a guitar made on all 7 Continents.
Is there such a thing as Penguin Guitars from Antarctica ?
Your post got me thinking and I just checked and there are some Penguin Guitars. Here is the link: http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/family/penguin

Welcome back and hope your playing goes well. Sometimes finger mobility can improve the more you play and hope that is the case for you. I have only played classical guitars and have my favorites so I can understand your love for Ovation guitars.

Re: Where Was Your Guitar MadeNo kidding - until I read this I always thought that my Alvarez was made in USA
It plays beautiful - I just looked at the sticker and in tiny lil ol letters in the corner - yup - " Made in China"
and I don't care - it could've been made in Timbuctu and it would still have the great sound it emits .
Jim
Jim years ago I bought an Alvarez classical from a local music store for one of my daughter who I was helping to learn to play. It was made in China and was a 2nd so the price was very low. The only thing I could find was a very small defect in the finish on the back. The guitar sounded great and she still has it and still plays it.
Where a guitar is made is not as important as the sound and play ability and lastly the price. For some that order may be different and as long as you are happy with the guitars you own then you bought wisely.
Where was your guitar built and is that important to you are not?
Some classical guitars are built in Japan, and some in China. Neither is out sourced because the factories are owned by the manufacturer of the guitars. Does that matter to you are not.
Wish you a speedy recovery. Knee problems are never fun just know later they will feel better.in time.
Zurf and Strummerboy Bill thank you both for explaining it means a lot.

If I remember correctly the LaBella Folk strings will fit a steel string without filling the nut. One suggestion if they fit the without making changes is use a pencil or some other lube to lube the nut before using the La Bella folk stings. They are smaller strings than normal classical strings so they might fit the nut without making any real changes. Most folk guitars use steel strings.
JUST DON'T FORGET TO LUBE IT FIRST! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL SO DARN FUNNY lololololol
Your disapproval is noted. Don't worry I will not posted any more to your forum. I did not know you were the judge.

but you need a new nut if you are going to do this, I would keep my original one in case I would want to go back to a regular set-up. Get a new one that you can file and play with.

I may try those La Bella strings on Tiny. What could it hurt?
The LaBella strings are normally priced very low. They are worth trying the only problem is they will take a few days of playing to stay in turn although not are long as normal classical strings. They are attractive because the treble strings are black and the bass strings are brass wind so they are brass color vs classical strings that are silver.
Please let us know after you use them how you like them.
mekidsmom from changing the Taylor guitar for my long term best friend, I had to file the nut to fit classical strings and they sounded really good. I don't know if he later changed the truss rod or not. Once I installed classical strings on it thought they sounded good.
I also mentioned in my original post that the best real solution is to buy a true classical guitar, and even one of a student starter guitar like a Yamaha C40 or a CG102 offers good sound with a full size guitar for not a lot of money.
The ones with ball ends and steel ends on the bass strings are La Bella part #830. I mentioned them earlier in the same post. They are listed as Folk Guitar. La Bella does not list a tension for these strings, and the reviews I have read some think they are great and others dislike them.
Here is a link to La Bella where they show these strings: http://www.labella.com/strings/category/folksinger/
Great sound between the piano and violin. Really enjoyed listening to it.
CG did it fret out a lot or did you raise the heck out of the action?
They guy I did it for has been my best friend for over 35 years. I made the changes and he played and said it was what he wanted. I did not hear any buzz at all. If he changed the neck action he never told me. Since I have played only classical guitars and none of them had truss rods I would not change the setup of the neck.
Just to mention it La Bella makes a folk guitar string that is nylon based and made to fit both a steel string and a classical. They are La Bella part #830 and they have ball ends on the treble and metal ends on the bass. The treble are black and bass strings are brass wound have a metal end piece. They do not actually show the tension of the package and most reviews on them are not good. Some say they are too light and other say it is too much tension. Typical for different players.
