If it aint broke, don`t fix it. It still plays and sounds good. Leave it alone. My Gibson has a crack near the soundhole. It still sounds and plays good. It will stay that way.

The movie was good but slow going. It had its funny moments but not what I thought it would be. I won`t tell anything about it so not to spoil it for others

Re: Electric vs Acoustic (18 replies, posted in Acoustic)
As far as learning goes. The sounds are different but I think of an electric as a car with power steering and an acoustic as a car without power steering. One thing for sure. A poor quality or badly set up guitar will be hard to play no matter what type it is. I used an acoustic for practicing. Then an electric was that much easier to play.

Re: Ibanez...AEF37E/type of strings (4 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Martin silk and steel or Ernie Ball earthwood lights. Starting with an 11. I prefer the Ernie Ball because the strings are still one to a pack. Martin changed the packaging and I stopped using them.

Re: WHO PLAYS ON WHAT GUITAR: electric /acoustic (15 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Acoustic: Yamaha apx-4-a . Electric: 1996 Fender strat. Bright red- maple fingerboard. These are utility guitars. The ones I use with a band. I also have a 1967 Rickenbacker 450-6. Solid body.Try finding one. And a 1959 Gibson acoustic. Plays like a dream. Too many others to name. My daughter (the trout) has 2 main guitars. An Ibanez ae-18 and a 2001 Fender strat with a Humbucker near the bridge. Plus an early daisy rock -rock candy and a squier strat. Plus the squier mini she started on

Re: Another shop bites the dust (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I always go to the private store before I go to guitar center for that reason. There is only one Union Music in Worcester or anywhere for that matter. Where guitar center is like a Wal Mart of guitar shops, Union Music is like Ike Godseys general store of music. The private stores are disappearing fast. I will support them first.

Re: Disaster hits my Taylor 314 (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
How much is a new neck compared to replacing the guitar?. Can you find a used one for cheaper? The quote was from Taylor. Did you take it to a quality luthier? It`s amazing what can be fixed when it looks like a total loss.

Re: Electric acoustic batteries fevqahjwklwd (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Are you shutting off the pickup system. Check if the little red light (if there is one) is on or off. There is usually a little on/off button where the controls are. You may want to make sure of that first. Or simply pull the battery out if you don`t use the electric system.

keep at it jjj!
I do, when I play by myself. I try when I am driving the company truck by myself. My voice is just too bad. Maybe it was too much Dewars and too many Winstons in the past. Plus a few other substances. I used to really "enjoy my recreation" in the 80s. Being in a band situation for awhile didn`t help with that

Why don't you sing? That's how Phil Collins got his start with singing. The band couldn't find anybody they liked and they had a show to do. So Phil sang the show and because the new lead singer from behind the drums. I still don't know how drummers and bassists can sing and play, but they do.
I have tried singing. I can sing and play at the same time except one thing. My voice sounds like a combination of nails on a chalkboard while stepping on a cats tail during a test of the emergency broadcast system. I have tried different types of music and the result is always the same.AAAAHHHHHHH
