    Narrow my search please?

    I'll look into those, thanks. I'll take care removing them and store them in the paper envelopes the new ones come in. Cheers

    Narrow my search please?

    My strings have been on for a little over a year now and i'm really liking their sound, i'm going to try a flat wound now and see where that goes. It's ok to put the GHS back on if i don't like them? or is that not a good idea?

    when the student is ready...

    I'm a student of music, not proficient in any way at this, but i instruct in my trade, which is work so very different, but it's rewarding in it's own way. It's worth remembering that learning an instrument isn't something you can buy, it takes effort and the reward that comes from that effort...

    I'm in a rut....

    I'm learning songs by using Tab but as part of the process i transcribe it to the actual notes on the fretboard (not using staff but just knowing the note name) so as i practice i can say the notes rather than just look for the tab position, it's my way of trying to learn the fretboard as part...

    I'm in a rut....

    The various reasons? one had incredibly bad BO, another was more interested in talking about how great he was and demonstrating his immense slapping skills at any given opportunity, the third while a nice guy who didn't smell didn't really offer me anything in the way of tasks to practice and...
