John Williams, who put Smallman on the map among the most elite guitars, is reportedly switching brands to Bernabe for his next CD, according to several...
John, This reminded me of your multi-string endeavor. http://www.woodfieldguitars.com/multistring.htm Glen ... sarcasm, ... means of ... Behalf ... ...
Thanks, Glen! I'd like to say that proves I'm not crazy but it probably just proves that someone else is also. I'm glad they include the tuning. I'll have to...
I just looked at the tuning. It's a Carulli decacorde with added basses. He could have added one more string and gotten a D1 (d'') as well and had Gibson harp...
Hello John! Yes! ... And I think it's no accident that great guitar players seem to have big hands. The problem seems to be doing the stretchies. I've never...
Hi all! First off, I'd like to thank those of you who graced my recent NorCal concerts with their presence! MUCH apprecitated! CONCERT REVIEW ON ACOUSTIC...
I can confirm that the mandolins of all kinds can pose problems of tight fits among the frets even for people with small hands like mine. Playing mandolino...
Perf, You're on your way to becoming one of the all time greats. Your eclectic repertoire really sets you apart and makes your concerts even that much more ...
Hi John and James, Thanks for the kind words! MUCH appreciated! John, I did play Hendrix at the Long Beach Concert, albeit with a different first name...
Hello Marion! Thanks for the info! You kinda confirmed much of what I already suspected. It's interesting to note that at about half the scale of the...
Hi James, True, but I prefer the piece in E major on the guitar, because this key seems to enhance the humor of certain movements. Just listen to Cardin or...
Hello Sean, There tends to be a problem with both baroque lutes and guitars(in E), viz., there can be a tendency to muddiness, though I have heard some baroque...
Another benefit to playing this suite in the key of E and with Leyenda's tuning with 7-10 = D# C# g# f# is that you can play all the basses in their original...
Has anybody tried these strings designed to put on a 650mm guitar and acheive the "G" tuning? It'd be great if they worked. I'm curious if they sound decent....
Hello Glen! I book marked that page. Those strings look like they're ready made for the inside six of the tuning I'm using on my 8 stringer. The next time I'm...
John, Here is the link to the D'Addario string tension chart. Classical guitar is on pages 8-11. I suggest you print out those pages for future reference....
My apologies. I couldn't remember which one of you originally posted the chart. Thanks! _____ From: 10string@yahoogroups.com [mailto:10string@yahoogroups.com]...
No apologies necessary. James may have been the one who posted it before. I just thought I'd post the link. I now see that classical guitar is on pages 8,...
I'm also interested in a low G, the G below the A in romantic tuning. I tried using a .056 but it's a bit loose at 650. It's the string that Perf's friend...
Hi to the forum, I'm Newbie Brad. I don't own a ten stringed instrument and any knowledge I pick up at this stage is from readings only. I'm not asking anyone...
Whoa, I never saw that article James wrote. That really covers the subject quite extensively. Welcome to NewbieBrad. Clever name. Will you change your name...
The Hannabach high tension low A string can handle being tuned down to a G on a 664mm. The D'Addario doesn't deliver the goods even when tuned to low A. ... ...
