Hi chaps. Thanks for the great comments and advice.

Jim, I'll check that man out, thanks

Uncle John, It's not for sale ). Great encouragement, thanks and passed on to Tom, who I've suggested should join CBN. Your point about strengthening the corners...I had way too much resonance from the plate, especially B 4th fret, which I've managed to dampen with part of a beer mat jammed in under one of the corners. I guess new plates are flatter but they miss the character. Corner brackets…

I'm using riffstation (paid one and Beta) which I find great to see chords and play along with. "Country Honk" without the fiddle part is my fav challeng at the mo but I can pick from Utube with the Beta version and my own, vast, music collection with the paid one.

This is not an ad, btw, I'm just a newbie passing along something I find very useful and fun.

If anyone can help me I'd be grateful to be pointed to a good 3-string tab site. I've tried using the 6 to 3 string conversion…
