Re: Elixir Strings? (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I usually get mine from ebay...If you look around there you can buy them in 3 pack bundles for $25-$30 plus shipping ($5-$6) Probably a little more for you but it shouldn't run over $10 for over seas... Dr.Cluck is the seller I normally deal with.

Re: F#m and Bm (17 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I know you want an easier way but I'd really recommend practicing the barre versions of these chords. Yes they are difficult and tiresome at first but once you get it you want belive how much easier it is to just move the forms around the fretboard... Not to mention the fuller sound and the ease of adding variation to your strumming patterns using barre chords. I'd personally prefer to play barre over open any day....It just so much simpler once you build up the stregnth. Peace! -Pix

Congrats Pix - All I can say is it seems you have more gits than you have sense
Actually, I know you and I am sure you have invested wisely. And since you recently just gave away a guitar, you needed to replace it. I'll make you an offer - If you ever need to hide a purchase from your wife, you have my address and can always have new gear sent to me. I promise to take good care of it!
Looking forward to the review (and I'd love to hear a clip of that Taylor you've got too)!
Hey Tops I may have to take you up on that storage offer! I just checked my ebay account and unless something changes in the next few minutes I may have purchased another!! An Alvarez PF2005 solid mahogany that I bid on a few days ago and didn't think I'd ever win at that price....Now it looks like I may have it also...We'll see shortly...38 minutes left!
I've been working on a few tracks with vocals...I'll send you a cover of Jacks new song "Go On" and a cover of "Heading Home" by Donovan Frankenrieter tomorrow on the Taylor for your scrutiny. Just remember they're in early works...lol
When you going to head down this way? Beers on me and I'll even throw ya a steak on the grill! Peace! Pix

Re: which is better, light or medium acoustic guitar strings (20 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Well My list goes like this:
Morgan Monroe (spruce & EIR) I use elixer poly mediums
S&P Pro (Spruce & EIR) Elixer poly X-lights
S&P Pro (Spruce & Maple) Dean Markley alchemy gold lights
'79 Yairi (Spruce & Burled mahogany) Gibson Masterbuilt 11-50's These also go on my '74 Epiphone Ft-570sb
Garrison G20 get's Martin marquee 10-47's
Taylor 314E -I'm still playing with this one but I believe shes going to elixer pb lights... They sound best so far...
The others ussually get Martin lights as I usually have them on hand...
It really does depend on the guitar. The woods come into factor and especially the build of the guitar. The top is braced to vibrate under a certain amount of tension. Putting light strings on a heavily braced/built guitar will kill the tone as the top is not under enough tension to vibrate to it's fullest potential. For example I have a Alzarez Pf85Scvv 12 string that I strung as a six for the extra room on the fretboard. For her to sound good I had to go up to heavy strings to maintain the tension of the missing 6 strings on the soundboard. On the other hand a lightly built guitar needs only light or xtra light strings to perform properly. Putting heavier strings on these can over power the top and cause premature bellying. Then once we decide the gauge that works best we have to start considering the various string compositions.....Bronze, Phosphere bronze, etc... I'd hate to know the money I've spent on strings alone trying to find the right ones for each guitar....lol Peace! -Pix

Re: Baritone uke won't stay in tune (2 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Some ukuleles come with peg tuners. Sometimes these can become loose and slip under full tension. There is a screw on the end of some that you can tighten to remedy this. If not a peg tuner is fairly common and inexpensive at most music stores. You may also want to check your string at the bridge. Make sure the strings are tied properly and not slipping. If it has a pinned bridge remove the pin and make sure the ball of the string is seated properly before you reinstall it. Just some thoughts... Peace! -Pix
Nylon strings do take a while to stretch out...though. So make sure you give them plenty of time before you assume you have a problem. I've had to tune mine daily for a week or more before, depending on the brand string I was using at the time.

Re: The Joker - Steve Miller Band (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hey willgard. That's me playing the joker...That's not really how steve played it ..Just my take on it. What I'm doing is a percussion strum or chop. I'm strumming the strings while muting them at the same time with the palm of my strumming hand. If you look in the tutorials you'll also find a lesson on "stuck in the middle" where I explain this technique. Sorry for the poor video quality...I have since bought anouther cam but it should be good enough to get you started... Peace! Pix
BTW...The chop can be subsituted with a tap to the guitar for a similiar affect.
OK found this for ya... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fk0if7GW6c That's were I learned the technique from. Peace!

Re: stupid (29 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well today I meet a young gentleman at the local music store. I talked to him for awhile and he seemed like a real stand up kid. I then went and spoke to the owner (a friend of mine) and during the conversation the subject of the young man came up. Seems he's been taking lessons for about a year and has always rented a guitar due to a poor situation at home. So in a moment that I thought was kindness (but now I feel a little stupid) I went home and got one of my less expensive guitars (A '95 S&P Pro curly maple) and went back to the music store. Yep, I pulled the kid to the side after his lesson and handed him the guitar!!! Yep just gave it to him. Man I miss my baby all ready...lol On the other hand it feels good to help out a kid with a dream to play but not the funds.... He promises to take the utmost care of it and return it to me as soon as he can save up to buy his own.... Maybe....
