Awesome stuff... when I git me a new computer I'm going to have to suss out these programs... I'd love to do something with you that would be so cool...anyways off to get ready for work... eep
yeah he sent me the mp3 track of his guitar and I did my vocals and got the the levels right in Sony Acid Pro 7 : -).....cool what you can do without even meeting someone!!
yes tis me singing!...and Denys Lord (he's on the Nation) on the guitar....a beautiful song writtten by Emily Maguire. Saw her singing live in a cafe in Cambridge last Thurday and she was bloody brilliant!!! lol yeah Christmas Chaos...thanks god it's all over : -)
Yeah Ron, It was cracked when I played my tune. Every time I went to tune it was scarey though I, thought I was going to loose an eye. Its all fixed now and I'm going to post the pics today. I ended up taking it to a Luthier with heart and he spent two hours fixing it (there were heaps of other problems with it) and I learnt so much from the process - far more than fixing it myself.
Hi Penny, I see what you mean about the repair. Were you playin' your tune with it cracked like that? If so, it seemed to play remarkably well considering.
Hey Penny, We're smack bang in the middle of two of your destinations, we're on the first lake off the noosa river (boreen's the second) you're welcome to stop in for a cuppa & a jam on the the big old qlder verandah if you've got time...

Thanx for your kind words! Just uploaded some songs...
Hi Penny, nice to meet you.
yup, i bought the guitar from Michael (found him really helpful and great to do buisness with) off ebay about 6 months ago and i really love it. Even with the shipping to the uk it was ridiculously cheap for what i got and its been a great introduction to CBG's and guitars in general really. I'd never picked a guitar up before i bought that CBG, it was always pianos and keyboards. But 6 months on, i now have 3CBG's and a nice Danelectro Convertible, blisters on my fingers and i'm having great fun learning lol !
take care and have a great weekend now

Thanks Penny for the information. I will check out his page.
Penny, can you tell me how much I need to cut down on the neck part that goes into the box? I asked Shamos, but he hasn't answered me. I am at a stand still until I know how much wood to take off the neck. Thanks.
