      Bought my fourth yesterday.
      One undone project Strat, and an original '93 Seagull S-6. This is what I've ended up with for now after many years of buying and and selling. Such a crazed affair is guitar obsession.

    Jim said, "I don't mess around with the tiers." Could be a good song: "I Don't Mess Around with the Tears."

    That guys awesome! And I get why you only play one guitar,,, because you get to know your instrument and accustomed to it. I think it’s better to use one,, than to play five different guitars. But you need to change the neck,,, maybe get your electronics changed and change that pick guard. The Magic’s in your hands, head and heart.

    11:30 Jim is great and I hate to disagree with him here, but there is a DRAMATIC difference between the middle and neck positions. 2 very different sounds. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before.

    Although it has long been known as the "Minute" Waltz, its nickname was intended to mean "small" in the sense of a "miniature" waltz, given by its publisher. Chopin did not intend for this waltz to be played in one minute. A typical performance of the work will last between ​1 1⁄2 and ​2 1⁄2 minutes.

    Hi Gary. I couldn't help but notice the chitarra battente hanging on the wall behind you. Do you play it? I've been playing the battente for about 10 years and would love to find more people in the US who are interested in Italian guitar. if you search my TH-cam channel you can find many examples of the instrument that I recorded in Italy from some of the great folk players. I see my friend and guitar maker Todd Cambio follows you on Instagram, so it's possible he's already mentioned me to you before. The guitar on your wall looks like one of early American made models that Todd has been researching. Please connect with me if you or anyone you know plays or is interested in the battente in the US. Regarding Campilongo, I used to watch him play at the Living Room in Williamsburg near where I live before that place closed. He's great live.
