They do make nice salad bowls if you cut the top off.
Yeah, Iāll be keeping my tube screamerā¦ like 16 years ago I sold a whole box of these guitar magazines for like $300 on ebay, now I see people wanting $25-$30 an issue for them.
Thanks! Iāll check around to see what there is locally. I want to play it before I buy anything.
I just wanted to give you guys an update on what Iāve done with your wonderful advice so far.
I have focused on doing chromatic scales (I think thatās what itās called) so I can get used to using my little finger more. I have worked on doing blues scales and jam with my husband using only those notes.
I have been working on transitioning between chords and I have learned a few more. I still havenāt got B or F down yet.
I got my hands on the Tabs app and have been playing a few songs again that I used to play like Yesterday, Dueling Banjos and Seven Nation Army.
Iām having a hell of a time picking strings though because I donāt have full sight in my right eye so Iāve been working on knowing where the strings are by feel.
Does anyone have any tips when it comes to hitting strings? Like is there a place to put your hand so you know where the strings are by rote or does that just come with time?
I assume you mean, with your right hand. If youāre playing with a plectrum (flat pick) you really shouldnāt anchor your hand anywhere because there is wrist motion involvedā¦or should be. Itās just a matter of developing muscle memory so that your hand knows where the strings are. If youāre playing with your thumb and fingers, itās possible to rest your pinky on the instrument in a set spot, but this should be a temporary measure that you donāt keep up for longā¦a month or two, tops.
I only rest my hand when I am playing bass. I wasnāt sure if there was that trick for guitar or not.
Just tell her a guitar is like a woman. With lots of practice, you know just where to pluck to make the pretty noises come out.
if that was the case, Iād be the best guitar player in this joint.
Keep your fingers on the strings and you soon might be.
I tried to upload an mp4, but this place wonāt let me.
try again
Thanks for trying but no go, try Soundcloud.
Can you take a .3gp movie?
I can probably get it to upload but what kind of player does it require to play it?
Give it a tryā¦
Nope, donāt work. I just had some old clips lying around on this comp and wanted to show Darla Starling to keep her going on the strings
The smallest clip I have presently aside from that weird .3gp thigie is a 3.3 meg .mp4. I got some mp3 audio, but it aināt the same as seeing it played.
Maybe Iāll set up a YouTuber. I have some stuff up there, but itās under my name and thereās no telling what comeatmebro might do should I let that PI out, eh ā¦
Let me know when youāve loaded up :))
If you wanna share yer mp4 with me on mediafire (or any filedrop that doesnāt need ftp) Iāll youtube it for ya. I have a junk YT accountā¦you probably oughta get one too.
For Darla Starling. The video quality sucks, but I can work on that.

That was awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing that Reggie. Thatās really impressive.
How many years have you been playing for?
