Happy Birthday, Leenie!!!

Hi!

keep in mind that if you get a guitar with an accessible truss rod, the action can be adjusted. There are quite a few good, inexpensive acoustic guitars out there. You can get an Epiphone (Gibson is the parent company) acoustic through Musicians Friend (Guitar Center) for around $90. Always go to the shop and try out a few. You'll know it when you play it if it's the right one for you. I recommend getting a slightly higher gauge set of strings, like 10's (they have a little more give to them), to take it easy on your hand as you're learning chords. Always check the action, like Ancient Ways said, make sure you have no fret buzzing. A lower action will help you out as well as you're learning chords.

Videos from last nights show at The Tavern in Framingham. This is my brother, Gary's, Rush Tribute Band: Distant Early Warning. Have to start off by saying that I am incredibly proud of my brother.

My Dad. And Stevie Ray Vaughan.

oh, and if you get out of the rock genre, and into bluegrass, Allison Krauss is one AMAZING fiddle player.

three of my favorite female musicians are guitarists: Nancy Wilson Orianthi Bonnie Raitt

I'm roughly a mezzo-soprano/Contralto, and I absolutely have a falsetto range. I used to be a first soprano (before I started smoking).

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Sep 9 2011, 04:55 AM) Those are fantastic, LM! I really love that waterfall pic - I tried to get that look to the water when I took the ones in Oregon but it's harder than I thought! This is the best I could do: What's the secret? Long exposure waterfall shots are best taken on cloudy days or if there's a lot of tree cover. When you have to set a slow shutter speed, it leaves the shutter open longer, letting in more light. Even shooting on a DSLR at an aperture of f/22, bright sunlight is your enemy. Too much light gets through. Another trick is to use a Neutral Density 8 filter too Ooops...forgot to say thanks

Once, just once, Stephen got away from me at a bookstore, and the minute or so it took to find him felt like an eternity, with all kinds of horrible scenarios going through my mind - he can hear, but he can't speak functionally. Anyone could've grabbed him and walked out, and he would've never made a sound. My heart breaks for this family. This is so tragic...I worry every day of something like this happening Just a follow-up...not a good ending. http://www.torontosun.com/2011/05/10/body-...nd-on-riverbank Sad...

So so so happy that everything went well & that you're recovering so quickly Danny!!!!!
