Now I REALLY want one!
Is the White Wash semi-transparent? It's hard to tell from the pics I've seen--it looks pretty opaque to me--so what's the difference between White Wash and Antique White? I'm...

Em7--you're right, of course--I always think of a minor-key song that starts on the root minor as being in that key--say, Em rather than G. However, writing it out is a lot easier in G--one sharp--as...

Sometimes you just run into guys who are, for whatever reason, anti-social. It's cool that you got a chance to show what you can do, and cool that one of the guitar players seems to be on your side....

That's gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen figured cedar before.
Reminds me of a country gig I did many years ago where this guy comes up to the bandstand and asks us if we can play "Cedar Tree"....

I haven't heard the song, but the progression looks like it's in the key of G and starts on the IV chord (C). In number chart terms, it would be IV, V, VI, Maj VII, I, II, Maj III. In diatonic...

Lefty playing righty, but there's a good reason for that. (aside from the obvious one about having to deal with left-handed guitars.) I had polio as an infant (3 months old) and among other things,...

We had squirrels living in our attic some years ago. We got one of those electronic chattering devices that's supposed to get rid of squirrels--it didn't do that, but it almost got rid of us! What a...

I thought the first Geico pig commercial was hilarious. "Wee wee wee all the way home". I also like the "When pigs fly" one. Most of the rest are totally stupid, especially the one with the pig and a...

Combo for me--as small and light as I can get. Back in the early '70's I lugged a Twin Reverb around--they're still my favorite amp--but I can't lift one anymore (and I never really could--but back...

Hang in there! Find a specialist with knowledge of how the condition affects playing ability--get a second (or a third) opinion if you have to. And don't give up! It's a drag, I know--I injured my...

Telecasters are notorious for that. The neck pickup sits right under the harmonic node--it's one of the reasons they sound the way they do. Move the pickup off the node and you change the tone. It...

I don't care for it. Legitimate playing wear, that's one thing, but artificially aging a guitar so you can present the illusion that you've been playing it for years, that's shuckin' and jivin'. I...

Korina is a trade name that Gibson came up with for white limba, which is an African relative of mahogany--it's what they used in the late-'50's on Flying V's and Explorers, and Skylark lap steels....

That Brent Mason is just what I'm looking for. Love the natural korina. Too bad it's in the UK...

I haven't had any hits, greatest or otherwise...:) but once I got treated like I had! About twenty years ago, I was playing in a club outside of Vacaville, CA, and the bandleader announced our names...

One of the all-time greats. I was in the house band at George's Possum Holler club in Nashville back in late-'78, and got to play behind him quite a few times, including one night when he was...

Rango--there's a clip on YouTube from (I think) Wildwood Guitars of Greg Koch playing one in the PRS booth at the 2013 NAMM Show. Killer stuff--most of it's with some amp overdrive, but he does turn...

I've tried one. Last summer I got to ask Paul about the upcoming Brent Mason model and what he was coming up with for us Tele players. He told me the specs on the Brent Mason weren't finalized yet,...

frank--it's back to singles for sure, but it was that way in the '50's and early '60's too. Albums didn't become the focus until around '65 or so, with the Beatles putting out records like Rubber...

Me too!

Welcome! Cool guitar--I've been jonesing for one of those myself. Can you post some sound or video clips?

There are a lot of reasons why the gigs have gone away. The drunk driving laws--and I'm all for keeping drunk drivers off the roads; I don't want them hitting me on my way home from the gig--but...

In space no one can hear your mistakes...

Martina McBride is one of the best singers in Nashville. Some of her stuff is typical "'80's pop with cowboy hats" that passes for country these days, but when she gets into a more traditional...

What's the difference between a frog driving down the road and a guitar player driving down the road?
The frog might be on his way to a gig.

An old road-dog guitar player dies and goes to heaven....
