About £700 now.

So does Barbara Streisand. I'm afraid this is dire enough to make anyone vote Trump.
-
Take heart. Sewage is always passing through.
-
Well. It's called the Oval Orifice for a reason, Jocko. (I expect what you just wrote there sounds even more hilarious in a Scottish accent.)
-
Tanglewood TW40. Excellent guitar !
-
Tricky piece, well played. I used to do this one in restaurants. I knew it went well whenever it was ignored.
-
"Getting the tools out again" Fnarr fnarr.
-
You know you've made it as a great guitarist when damage like that (and leaving it so) INCREASES the value of the guitar.
-
Use a couple of brackets and wood screws.
-
Yes. It can be repaired. I had a guitar similarly broken which was fixed with glue.
-
I'm not sure you can get them for that now.
-
Chords were never even mentioned throughout my classical gradings. In fact much of the time was spent un-learning shapes.
-
Best go for a YouTube cover first then look for a link to the tabs. The essence of a chord progression can be met without actually playing it accurately. Use your ears rather than your eyes.
-
I've found the best way to do complicated chord progressions is to simplify the chords. Play triads on top three or bottom three strings. The effect is the same but without the physical effort. With complexity something has to give.

Or any ale-Ian ?
-
Perhaps the dory-an mode ?
-
Scales. I think that's what Lester is talking about.
-
Thanks for writing this. I look forward to hearing some demos of yours.
-
The best guitarists I've seen out there recently, they aren't on this forum. I often wonder why.
-
Where do the years go, Mark ? My only original guitar item is a Schubb capo which I've had for around 35 years, I guess. It's been present at all of my paid gigs. It's now a prized possession.
-
What a gift ! I'm sure he'll treasure it for the rest of his life.
-
Wow. I had no idea you were old enough, Mark. You look young. I value the Vintage GG DLX most highly. My favourite tribute act (Bookends) use a Tanglewood to create a faithful representation of Simon and Garfunkel in their 'innocent' years. It's a g…

My wife on the other hand... My first, my one, my only and we celebrated our 25th on Tuesday. (28 years together in total) I stopped buying coffee at work two years ago and bought a flask. I put some of the money in a jar (the total saving around…

It's what it's all about, isn't it.
-
Certainly is. You have to be able to write off the money completely. I've never had a guitar that I haven't fallen out of love with.
-
That sounds so... final.
-
I've made it my mission to find production line substitutes. I think some of them are getting 90% there. Is it worth the extra for that 10% ? Yes. If you have a lot of spare money. So much money that you can write it off. I'd love to spend £5k …

Case in point !
-
An excellent post. I enjoyed reading that and know the exact feeling. I get some delight from craving a thing which I can never have. Wanting is what keeps you alive.

Very desirable.
