Re: A &$^#@*$%$@%$#^%^!!^&# poll

<t>Yes you MAY be right, I might be surprised if I listened in to my 12 yo granddaughter's discussions with friends. But then again would I want to introduce her to MY friends' swearing? I'm teaching her guitar and after a few weeks she is showing real promise with her quick chord changing and obvio...

Re: Calling all iPad junkies: Poll and recommendations for e-sheet music library storage applications?

<r>This is fascinating and so helpful. Looking at the links for TAPP etc. this is EXACTLY the kind of direction I want to move in with my ( ringbinder ) songsheets in TAB format, to use at weekly guitar meets and take abroad. It's a minefield to a non techie like me and you guys are doing all the gr...

Re:>> New Poll - What is your favourite "volume" maker of acoustic guitars ??..Vote here..

<t>My first choice is Martin,D28 for strumming, 00028 for pickin'. Also prefer Taylor for pickin' but not heavy strumming. I must go and look to see if there is a handbuild version of this thread. If not, anyone interested in participating.....especially the member with the Ryan Nightingale soloist ...

Re: Old Martin Guitars...

<t>WOW, that Glen Hansard guitar has sure given the owner his money's worth!! Re Guitarmom's experience, couldn't agree more. A new or unplayed guitar needs to be played in. The soundboard has to resonate A LOT before a guitar comes into it's own. That doesn't mean that a guitar sounds bad when new,...

Re: >> Todays Target Lessons - Introduction to Blues - Vol1 - Acoustic Blues Genius series..

Damn, I'm gonna have to join this darn TARGET programme, just you wait till I get back from Spain! BTW that Chuck Berry riff is what I MUST learn, it's soooo cool. Seriously, this is the best site. Also, will Robert Johnson & Lightnin' Hopkins get a mention/ play ?

Re: Old Martin Guitars...

<t>Thanks for the welcome RicksPick & Tombo, it may take some time, but I will get pix organised. I also have a Sigma - DM2 - Also made in Korea, which is the better made models IMO, I couldn't believe the quality of sound from it. It's more a strummer than a picker, but truly amazing sound. The...

Re: Old Martin Guitars...

<t>Hi, been a member for a little time now but haven't posted yet, so here goes. First, let me say, what a brilliant site, I take my hat off to Neil & team, I now look no further on the web. I'm hurtling toward being a Target member, just hesitating 'cos I want to give enough time to lessons! I ...
