LESSON Suggestion

Just finished watching an old video by the Faces - a vastly underrated band. How about a quick lesson on "Ooh,La La. A great tune with easy chords but a tricky strumming pattern.
Could be a fun Campfire tune.
ThanksB)

Re:What guitar is Neil playing on his videos?

Everywhere I look I see "call for price." That usually means a lot of $$! I'm guessing they start around $5000 and go up.

Re:New Strings

<t>I am a big believer in coated strings, mostly because I dread changing strings every 4-6 weeks. I have tried them all and my preference is a toss up between Cleartone and D'Addario Coated Phosphor Bronze. They both last much longer, and as claimed sound warm, bright and balanced. You can save som...

UPDATED Choppy videos... Solution Found

We were finally able to narrow down where the problem was. I have posted 2 samples for you. Please check out blackbird play through and preview.

Re:New Strings

I use Cleartone (coated) light gauge acoustic on a Martin D18. The Martin company recommends Martin Acoustic Light's but the Cleartones sound better and last longer. They're pricey but you can order them on-line from Musician's Friend for around $11.00.
