Thank you G. S. Monroe for replying. I gave it a try awhile back. I guess now being so use to the wound g string, I found the unwound g a little strange. I thought it was interesting to bring up because from time to time you hear a reference to it. I often wondered how 1920/30s strings would compare to today's manufacturing standards. Enjoy.

On the topic of "G" strings, I don't use the standard guitar "G"'s, I prefer to use #12 piano wire, .023 dia solid wire for my bass string. Yes it does produce a different tone from the .023w. The tone, and vibe is more like that of an old upright bass fiddle than a bass guitar in nature. It does lose a bit of resonance down in the frets near the base of the neck, but the real advantage comes out with using a slide. Your standard "windings" can produce a somewhat raspy sound when sliding down the neck. With smooth solid wire, you don't get that "growl", the tone is more silky.

Yes, it was bad wording on my part. I clarify this in Episode 2 when I explain how to create the major scale out of the chromatic scale. Thank you Sounds of the Nation for your response. Enjoy.

nice job.
i think you might be introducing a bit of confusion by saying it's 12 steps from open to the twelfth fret. might be cleare to say twelve i/2 steps or semi tones.

cheers

Well, not to open a real big can of worms, but I would suggest considering two things.
Musicians are theatrical artists. Being controversal or sensational only attracts public attention. Alice Cooper and his modern day counter point Marilyn Manson are good examples. Ozzy! The Prince of Darkness? His reality show put that into clear perspective. If you want to buy into this fact, they are really the spawn of Satan, it is you who empowers them. They put out the hook...and you take it in...hook, line, and sinker!
Second, there is some truth that many musician become interested in the occult mainly due to the esoteric writing of Aleister Crowley, but then again, the Christian church is responsible for demonizing everything that they do not endorse. Many Pagan religions are not satanic at all. Wasn't Satan a fallen angel from the Christian faith. I think the Druids are slightly older.
Seeing things clearly is what is important, not burning witches at stakes just because you do not understand and are afraid.
Thank you for your response and sharing your personal thoughts.
