Will that work with a D-a-d three string?
Comment by Brian Lemin on August 22, 2009 at 2:52pm
I will dig it out and try again.

I have a chromatic which is fine if I am not playing the guitar at the same time!

Hey Gary, it wasn't the good "captain Tricko" you heard by any chance?
Comment by Brian Lemin on August 22, 2009 at 2:23am
Cant bend my harmonica notes. Try very hard. Read the books. No good.

I play the notes ok, just not the bent ones.

Ah the P.M.A.E.D Every CBG makers friend.......

You boys want the reso sound? Sink hole strainers. Put one over your soundhole and it "tins" the tone up real nice.

What a great idea. Berocca tubes. Great thinking. Brass curtain grommets in the tools dept in Bunnings work well too.

Hey Rod,
What do you use for the hole surrounds? They look neat and I can't find anything I would like to use.....
