<t>Wiley, on a side note perhaps you can help me troubleshoot a problem I've been having with noise. I have a Bose L1 amp and a Taylor Dan Crary with a Fishman pickup. It wasn't always the case, but for a while now there's a noticeable (and annoying) buzzing coming from the amp. The buzzing goes awa...

<t>Well, I had to chuckle as I watched the video because I was doing so from my IPad! The YouTube videos work fine but the TG Website as a whole needs to be made more iPad friendly. That being said, TG and the iPad are a match made in heaven, as you can imagine. Now I can just have my iPad on my mus...

<t>I do admire and respect Martin Guitars--it's just a great company full of tradition--but if I walked into a guitar shop with $3500 I would buy a Taylor, no question. I just love the sound, the looks, and the fast, narrow neck. Taylor was founded during Martin's "dark years" of the 70s, and rose t...

<t>I've owned both the Bose L1 and the AC60, and they're completely different amps: the Bose is a much larger and more powerful amp (750 watts vs 60 watts!!). People complain about the Bose prices, but I think they're justified. The build-quality and sound clarity of my Bose were first-rate. I mainl...

<r>This is a fun song to play. I did a quick and dirty recording of my playing this a couple of years ago. If I knew it would eventually get online I would have taken it a tad more seriously. But here it is, complete with the rough edges: <URL url="http://www.humanismus.com/_/Friend_of_the_Devil.htm...

<t>I'm going to cheat a bit and share a couple of my lists. I have about 6000 books in my personal library, so narrowing it down to just three is a really, really tough one for me. But here it is: the first list is music-related:<br/> 1) Clapton's Guitar: Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect I...

<t>There's been a few comments on the cost of Taylor guitars, and here's one way you can think about cost vs. personal value for a guitar: <br/> <br/> I've owned my Taylor for over a dozen years now, and since that time I've played it for, literally, thousands of hours. It's still like new, so I hop...

<t>I have several Go To songs that I enjoy playing just about any time any one's willing to listen: Captain Kennedy (N. Young), John Barleycorn, Matty Groves, I Know You Rider, Friend of the Devil, Uncle John's Band, Part of the Plan (D. Fogelberg), Norwegian Wood, Old Man, Tell Me Why (N. Young), C...

<r>I own a Dan Crary Signature Model, and I got it with a Florentine cutaway. Here's a picture of it:<br/> <URL url="http://www.blumenbach.info/_/TaylorBose.JPG">http://www.blumenbach.info/_/TaylorBose.JPG</URL><br/> As someone already noted, it's strictly a matter of personal taste, but I do prefer...

<t>There are a ton of excellent guitars under a grand. I once had one of those black Martin acoustic-electrics (the 00CXAE) to use as a travel guitar, and it was one of the best $350 I ever spent (it retails for $650, but I got it on a "Black Friday" Guitar Center sale).<br/> <br/> But while these g...
