Good work Dean and well explained!! What a kind and helpful thing thing to do!

Dermot, besides what he is explaining, nóte that this clip also shows you to practice this, or anything else for that matter (transitions or sections that give you trouble), PLUS the first beat of the next measure AND STOP RIGHT THERE!

I can't state that enough.....

Dean
I'll be sure to work on it ad do and upload for review
That gives me something to target for, thanks for the pressure :laugh: :laugh: :ohmy:

The video is great, very well explained and much appreciated.
You are the best!

Dermot



Vanessa
Yes, it was very thoughtful of Dean. Didn't he do a great job of explaining it on many levels
I've been working on it already as I am keen to learn it, I've got myself another guitar, a small Tanglewood TSF-CE N that
I purchased secondhand cheap and fixed it up as best I can which I have tuned to Standard Tuning, so my Ashton is tuned for Pink Moon.
No excuses!

Is it best to store a guitar with the capo removed after playing?
I suppose leaving it stored on a fret might have an adverse effect on the strings
I tend to remove the capo after practice.
Not sure if this be an issue or not?

You are the second best ! :dry:

Congratulations Dermot, I think you are going to enjoy playing your Tanglewood a lot better than your Ashton. I played a Tanglewood Heritage TW45 H before
I got my Taylor. I really liked it. Claire has it now and she loves playing it. Ness also has at least one Tanglewood I know of. B)

Hi Tom
The Tanglewood is nice, I think it's smaller than Vanessa's.

I still like my Ashton, it gave me hope.

I think it is what they call Folk size, it's the same size as the one I gave to Claire.

It is amazing how attached we can get to these lumps of wood. and hope is always worth having.

Ah nice Tanglewood Dermot!!

I indeed own two of that brand, one steelstring, one nylonstring. My steelstring has the same shape as yours, I think they're kinda the same size.

Your question, the capo......good question, i have absolutely no idea! :dry: :S

I tend to keep it there. When I'm using it, you also tune your guitar again, right? So yeah, i leave it there....even if I play another song later without the capo, or the capo on another fret.

But hey, that's just me....!

Congrats on your new guitar!

Thanks for your thoughts on the Capo.

I like the look and sound of your Tanglewood.
When I saw this one it was a bargain.
I quite like it



Dean
I've been practicing between Pink Moon and Ivory Salamander.
I liked the sound of your guitar too, what is it?

It's a Martim 000M, it's a versatile jack of all trades, easy to play too.

Hello Dean

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out and try one. (Martin 000M).



In part 7 of the solo, 3.18 minutes in.
Neil refers to the note at Fret 5 String 6 as E.
Without a capo it's F at Fret 5 ,where does E come from?

Although I understand what he's doing here, I figure when without capo E is on the 4th Fret.

:S

Firstly when you're using a capo, everything is relative to the capo.....period. As a musician you might want to add that when your playing a D with a capo on the second fret, that the pitch, the sound of the chord is an E, quite handy when you play with for instance a pianoplayer! Still, in the guitarworld, you name the chords and notes relative to the capo.

So the sixt string is tuned to C (the song is capoed at the 2nd fret, we still call it C), so the note at the fifth fret, 6th string......well yeah, that should be F.......right? :S Haha! :laugh:

I understand when looking for the answer that you're thinking about taking the capo off and to figure it from there to make sense of this note E. However, with or without a capo.....it ain't E..

Maybe we're missing something Dermot, or maybe Neil simply tripped...it rarely happens, but he is a húman guitarguru...!

Ask him!
