I suck less than last year
I got this as an inspirational merch for DiJ. It'll be easy to pick me out in the crowd. But, it actually takes me longer than a year to fully realize I've improved. It could be a couple or even several years to truly hear and feel the improvement. How is it for others? That's assuming you don't practice 6+ hours a day. If… -
Clash of Picking Techniques
I've been experiencing a frustrating clash of picking techniques. As much as I like rest stroke picking, I find it actually inhibits by ability to play alternating picking technique, and vise versa. It's like having a split personality that doesn't get along. I feel like I really need to chose one or the other, or they… -
2023 Holo for sale
Because I play my Selmer #561 90% of the time, I'm wanting to sell my Holo guitar. It's a traditional model with a Redwood top and Indian Rosewood back and sides. It's a tremendous instrument, but I don't play it that much because of the Selmer. A guitar this great should be played daily. Price is $6500, as I have only… -

For Sale--Altamira M-10 antique w/case, $1000 + shipping
I cant believe I'm doing it but I'm selling my workhorse Altamira after 500+ gigs on it. I play mostly rhythm these days and prefer the "broader rhythm sound" of my Altamira D-hole for that. And those that know me know that I cant stand having a guitar around that isn't being regularly played. The M-10 is a fine guitar,… -
Si Tu Savais Key
What key do you guys call Si Tu Savais in? Seems like most people I know choose B Minor. The recording itself is actually closer in tuning to the key of C, 26 cents sharp vs 60 cents flat to get to the key of B. I've kinda gotten used to playing it in both, it does make me wonder what the original intention was. -
Guitar sound quality deteriorated
Hello, community, I have Saga Cigano GJ-5. I used it for 14 years; there were no issues, I didn't drop or hit it. But last week, its sound deteriorated, which made me unhappy. 3rd string (G) on the 5th fret sound is not bright, like something preventing the string from oscillating. I checked that there were no problems… -
