Guess it's time to let Doug out of the bin. Funny, I've been working on the guitar again, building the finger calluses, then I sliced part of my left index fingertip off with a knife. So, I set up the keyboard until it heals. Thanks for the link. Eisboch |

I went over to the music store and bought a 'humidifier' for it but haven't gotten around to finding distilled water yet. Wife says it should be at the grocery store. I did spend half an hour pickin' & strummin' two days in a row...just enough to make my fingertips sore. Also went to check out a Yamaha classical guitar. I'm still tempted to pick one up hoping the wider spaced nylon strings will make shaping my chords easier. |

I also have a Taylor 12 string that Mrs.E. bought for me a couple of years ago. I'll drag that one out after my fingers are in better shape. Right now they are stiff and uncooperative due to a long absence of practice. Eisboch |

Something you use to make sure your yacht club uniform looks crisp when you go to dinner. Seriously...do you have a copy of the Chapman book from the 1960s? Holy ****.... |

I'd much rather play my Yamaha 12, than any of my 6's. To me it's more comfortable, with the wide neck, and you lay your fingers down on 2 strings, I describe it like the two strings are like railroad tracks, instad fo one thin string similar to razor wire. My classical is fun too, especially when picking jazz type stuff. |

I've purchased a couple of new editions over the years, but I keep his old one for kicks. Next time I look at it, I'll note the edition.

You've got to be very accomplished in both to make a transition. |

After playing your bass, a regular guitar didn't feel right. I had a classical Spanish nylon guitar for a while ... the type with the huge body and wide neck. I got it because I wasn't playing one much and the strings were easier on the fingers. When I tried going back to a Fender electric, my fingers just got in the way of each other. I suppose for a serious guitarist who plays all the time, the transition is not difficult, but I am far from a serious guitarist. More of a hum and strum type. Eisboch |

I can play any one of my guitars for hours, all have steel stings in various gauges. |

I'll get a serious bug occasionally, but I've never taken guitar seriously. I mean, REALLY seriously. Oh, I can pull some pretty neat stuff on a 6 string, but I'll never be the next Joe Pass, or Barney Kessel. But yes, I'm basicly a "hum 'n strummer" |
