Apparently he plays like that through much practice. I'll bet he has a guitar in the bathroom, also. Wouldn't want to waste any good practice time. I am sure there is more to it. His brain has to be wired a little differently than most of ours. Ya think?

Re: looking for a point in the right direction. (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I, too rely a lot on YouTube for my music needs. If I am interested in learning a new song (or one I already know) I find the original artists song on YouTube and listen intently. What really helps me more than that, I then lookup all the covers of that song I can find and watch and listen to them, as well. This gives me lots of different ways to learn the song. Covers are all different and some are even easier than the original.

Great song Grah1. Sad as it is. I lived in Crete when I was young, for two years around 1960. My dad was stationed at Irakion Air Base. I have fond memories of the place.

You get used to getting it out of the case and putting it back in after awhile. Yeahh, it's a little pain, but not not bad.

Re: NGD!!!!!!! I am in love! (49 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I would like to try a 000 sometime. I'm thinking that may be a future purchase for me, although future means way down the road. I think the smaller body would feel better and handle a bit better. Norm, the all wood guitars require about 45-55% humidity. If you have that all the time, then no worries. It is usually a problem in the winter when you heat your home. The humidity is usually a lot lower. I've read where people never humidify and do just fine, but it doesn't hurt to humidify it a little extra. Insurance you know.

Yep, Martins need to be played. If he is sleeping, then you owe it to him to keep the Martin singing. Keep it up. Everybody wins.

As Tyson says, don't forget to humidify. There are all kinds out there, but I keep my Martins humidified with the Dampits. I think they are probably the best. Man, I'm excited for you. I know how I felt when I first got mine. And don't be afraid to strum and pick the hell out of it. It's good for them.

Having a great guitar like that, you will naturally get better at playing because you will probably pick it up more often. Proud of you and enjoy the great sounds that come out of it.
