the Fretboard Logic books are good for finding notes, voicings, etc.

And remember, memorizing the E and A means you're half way done.

Yeah, figured out most of the action is between frets 1-5 or the E and A strings for people calling out chords to you.

Also, is it just me, or does it seem like a lot of stuff is based around the key of A? So much stuff I see is first form pentatonic at the fifth fret.

inefficient. mute the low E with your thumb, strum all 6 strings, and be sure to keep the high E open.

But the barre chord is built into my muscle memory. Less thinking, more doing.

 

[gomestar]

build the other way into your memory, even for major chords. it'll free up your other fingers for more doing (a la Hendrix)

shipping via UPS is probably around $90, at least that's about what it cost to ship my Vox AD30VT with the full UPS "packs it up" deal (the Fender is 5 lbs heavier but physically smaller). If you can work a way to get cash to the seller, I'm sure i could work something out.

Appreciate it! Looks like it was already snapped up though.

no worries

I am binging on pedals. Someone please stop me.

List and or pics please. I'm expecting an original Klon from you.

Don't buy the Klon hype. Check out this comparison versus a Spaceman Saturn V:

I'd go for a Klon some day

Nothing fancy, just an Epi.

 

[El Argentino]

Still pretty^^

Swapped out the Red Tortoise pickguard for a mint green on my MayerStrat. OCDing now over the pickup height (which I thought was perfect pre-pickguard-swap). Should've made a note.

Troubling myself over sustain on the highE as well - can't get the pole too high or it starts muting the string early. But I want the bite and snarl of a pickup as close to max height as possible.

Me too. I have the KTR and wish I had an original.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

[gomestar]

i was considering posting somethin like that, but knew i wouldn't need to

Possibly doing a craigslist trade for a resonator today... will update later...
