I think this is a great thread.
Last week I bought the Iznaola 16pp book on your recommendation - thanks.
I've started to apply some of the techniques he suggests and they are working. One of the things he has, for me, is the answer for not getting stuck at a plateau - invaluable.
I've tried his 'problem solving' principle with a bit that I always stumble with when playing Martin Simpson's Donal Og. I treated the small section as a problem solving exercise and found myself spending a lot of time picking apart a very small section, reworking the fingering, analysing the tone, and then found myself improving the sound I get from the thumb/nail. Practice became fascinating.
I've had one small try at visualisation and can see how that makes perfect sense - difficult though.
Thanks again for the recommendation.

Thanks Dave
I found this demo which is a h4n without changing any setting or external mic.
This is all a minefield - very frustrating in the early stages, and that's where I am.
thanks

Hello
I've been looking at getting a Zoom h4N. I want to record with another guitarist, so two guitars at the same time. We sing as well, so two sets of vocals, and sometimes I switch from the guitar to harmonica.
From what I understand we could use two attached mics for the guitars and the Zoom for the vocals (think I'm wrong here).
I also want to add some parts later e.g. mandolin or slide, or another guitar track, or record on my own and overdub.
I'm new to this so trying I'm to work out whether the Zoom H4n would do what I want.
Has anybody tried anything similar, and if you have what set up did you use?
thanks Martin Rowe

I'm trying to buy a mandolin the moment and trying to decide on one to buy. I've narrowed it down, at the moment, to a Fylde or a Paul Hathway and came across this on my travels so decided to share it.
Not much detail but short and interesting. Martin Rowe

I've only just joined so I thought I'd post some things up - hope you like them. This is Bill Collings talking about making Collings Guitars - it struck me that it was a an interesting example of humility.
