A gittern - that's a new one on me. Eight Strings? Is it double coursed like a mandolin?

He, he, he ,he what a find. You may have already heard this but it's new to me - heard it on the radio on the way home. Someone is telling the truth. A new protest song - something like that. Kay Tempest

Wasn't Robert Johnson around in the 16th Century ?

Makes me think of 5 String Mandolins/Mandola tuned low to high CGDAE (or the high E tuned down to D which gives a 4th on the two high strings) or Sarah Jarosz's Tenor guitar playing. He's often talking from the perspective of hearing isn't he - pretty impressive that.

Can't beat a Telecaster! Hope all is improving on the health front. I only got the cherry one recently and despite having shed loads of guitar over the years have never had a telecaster. Health still crap. They can’t find out what’s up with me. Getting old is shit. There's a saying isn't there: "Getting old is not for wimps" - someone knew. Get Well

I think it's a case of press record, play, fluff, swear, start again. Eventually you'll get an acceptable take. You may not understand the 4th step. Here is an example from a few years ago (if I remember correctly it was when Dave White did one of his road trip guitars): Examples of frustration and profanity.I like the way it builds as a sort of inverted crescendo towards the final lyric at the end

You've gone and done it now forestdweller - do you realise what you've done. I think you may have been living up country for too long. You've only gone and let people into one of the best kept secrets out there. it's bit like telling every Tom, Dick, or Harry about Plym Bridge or Whitsands That baritone sounds nice. I went through a stage of almost getting one once. I think it was after listening to Martin Simpson's Just a Closer Walk with Thee. Question: Can you tell from those videos how much the sound is down to the guitar and how much is down to the recording process. I don't really get much into the GAS discussions on here. I sometimes wonder if it's because I've got a guitar I am happy with.

I bought mine 20 years ago from upstairs in the old Manson's in Exeter. It was the first time I had heard sustain go on and on. During the first week I remember that I often used to strike a string and just listen to it resonate. It's an M-18. I might have been lucky, I don't know. I tried someone's Mahogany Dreadnought Lakewood once and it didn't do anything for me, but I think they're great.
