Hello Friends, I don't think I've made a post to the Registry in over a year!! I can attest to the Steve Parks Fan Fret Tenor being a bargain as I've had the...
Just a brief note to let the group know, (I'm braggin' a bit) that I just ordered ANOTHER Soares'y guitar. This time It's a "Baby Tenor". I already have one ...
Good luck with it. I have been eying one ofg them to take on camping trips. If you think of it maybe you can post about how that baby plays after you've broken...
A few years ago I brought my 8 string Soarsey mandocello out to Joushua Tree, California and my friend, Mitch Smith, video taped me on a low level video...
I'm kind of a fan of Nashville tuning a six string guitar. From what I understand, this tuning is used by the Nashville studio guys to add more chimey stuff...
Neat idea Bob. I've used Nashville or High-Strung tuning on one of my six stringss for years although I don't use it in performance all that often. I've had...
After writing earlier about breaking my A string too often, I stumbled across some Celtic numbers done in GDAE and that looks like fun. Before I start snapping...
My tenor stays tuned like that all the time. The small "E" string is the same as E on the guitar gage 11 or 12 the A string is 17-18 gage then the "D" string...
You won't be able to get to GDAE using a set of CGDA strings. Try something like .013, .020, .030, .042 gauge guitar strings which will give you a string...
Hey long term vets. I'm real curious about a very simple thing. I've only been a member for a short time so forgive my ignorance. Why is it that you guys ...
... With regards to the capo, I have seen some guitarists using Shubb type capos with part of the rubber sleeve cut away to allow a string sound for its full...
For goodness sake, doesn't anyone listen. The EADG tuning or as some of the backwards guys put it: GDAE is meant to go LOWER not higher. No wonder you're...
Hiya ... I wonder if it's people who have a tenor banjo chord chart which shows GDAE tuning? Going from guitar to uke I just transpose DGBE to GCEA in my head ...
Hi Skip ... Interesting. As primarily a guitarist I always go thickest to thinnest. I wonder if the classical guitar people go thinnest to thickest and it's ...
Kyser makes a short capo made for only three strings on a six string. It might work. Google "Kyser Short Cut" and you'll find various sites that have it....
Here's a thought regarding which direction the strings are to be identified: Name them in the order which is closest to your heart when you are playing the...
That is the most beautiful thought I've heard in years, only one problem. What about instruments that are tuned alike, ie. fiddle and mandolin? Don't those...
As a teacher of classical guitar for years now I think you may have caught on to something. The books teach from the bottom (small string) back to the face...

Hey Rob, I have a good friend north of Austin where I live up in Georgetown, Texas. The only way he plays his old Stella tenor is tuned like the first four...
That's interesting because I've been playing stringed instruments for 30 years and I've always heard strings named from Low to High. To me it is more logical...
Here's one more for what it's worth. If you take a picture of an instrument say a tenor in "standard tuning" if the instrument is head up the strings from left...
Interesting. I took violin lessons about 30 years ago from a symphonic violinist, and he taught me to name the strings from deepest to highest, GDAE. I now...
Hi John: Kindly allow me to correct a spelling error, and exchange the word heart with "head" from my original message, which should now read: Here's a thought...
