Andy, once it will be posted , it will be water under the bridge as you will not be scared of the camcorder and the upload operation and what people will say and my rendering is not perfect, etc... When I took my guitar this morning (posted the video last nigth)I did not feel the pressure of the last 2 weeks preparing for it and the playing was so much easier. My kids thought it was pretty cool to see the old man's face on youtube.

Marc,

Good job with the gas. I think many of us have the same problem with videoing ourselves. I know I did with "Here comes the Sun" earlier. Nice guitar, what are the two you have? Keep up the good work.

Hello Marc.

I don t no how long you play guitar?,But this lesson of Neil is not easy.
You do good work on the guitar,we have the same guitar,Yamaha 900 APX.
And filming your self is a good thing,than you can see what you do.

Thanks Anton,

I used to play 30 years ago for 4-5 years (can't remember now but I did not take any lessons. I came back to guitar 1 year and half ago and have been taking lessons once a week (not during summer). I am however practicing mainly the TG lessons.

That's cool---I play a Yamaha FG-375 S II. The action I think is to high. It makes my bar cords hard to hold down and play clear.:angry: I need to have a shop look at it. I am going to try and post "Classical Gas" sometime next week. I hope it will turn out OK.

Take care,

Terry

Hello Mark
37 years ago my dady and mom bying a guitar for me.
And then going to lessons for guitar.
I think it was for two monds,and then i stops with it.
No i play for 2 years,and i love it.
My APX900 sounds good,but when i plug in my amp,then the sound is better.
APX900 have a thin body,and not a loud sound.
My SEAGULL guitar have a louder sound.
I have on all my guitars Elixer strings Bronz Phrozer.
The Yamaha guitar have not a hich action,and a good feeling,susstain.
I hope that you understand my writing.

Anton, I agree with you that the APX 900 does not have a lot of volume when not connected. I tried it on an amplifier and it is much more powerfull and rich because of the pickup design. I use Elixir strings as well (Bear made a good sales pitch on them ;) ). They do not squeek as much.

Hello Mark.
What i meen is that the APX900,when you pluggin by AMP,the sound richer is.
Realy it has a warm and good sound.
But the differents between the CPX and the APX900 ,cpx900 UNPLUGGIT more sound production.
Most of al,ill play plugged.
I reading that you have also Elixer strings,good jop man.
What is the price by bear for the Elixer?

Bear is not selling the strings, he was just saying that they are good.
