John R. Mann replied to Stefan Jadefjord's discussion Doc Watson signaturemodel from Gallagher"I had the Doc Signature model and I can tell you that the description "it rings like a bell" is absolutely true. I had a G-70 once also but liked the Doc Watson model the best. It's well made, attractive, and has a great tone to it.…"

John R. Mann posted a blog postSynthetic "feel" vs Genuine TS pick "feel"
I recently acquired a real TS pick. In comparing it with a bluechip pick, same style, same beveling, I noted that the TS seems to "drag or scrape" along the wound strings where the bluechip feels smooth on all strings. The TS is fine on the non-wound types.Since this is my first experience with TS, is this a normal feel with a TS pick. I love the tone. Just wondering about the difference I felt.Thanks for any inputSee More
John R. Mann replied to John R. Mann's discussion Webpage Issue"Thanks, Bruce. I read what you wrote and it worked for me if I highlighted text in the browse line and then hit enter. ( As soon as my Mac heard the words PC, it got down to business :-) Thanks again. )

John R. Mann replied to John R. Mann's discussion Webpage Issue"OK--I kind of stumbled on to this, and it may not be the best fix, but from my flatpick page, I went to Ning.com and it recognized me. From there I looked at my account and there is a tab for photos.

John R. Mann replied to John R. Mann's discussion Webpage Issue"I know--I've done it before, too, and now I can't remember what I did. I haven't tried uploading from a website. That is my next tr. Thanks for the reply. If I figure it out, I'll let you know,."
John R. Mann replied to Jonathan Spencer's discussion Huss & Dalton TDM"I'm biased because I own a TDM Custom and think it is great. I've played a number of Collings and they seemed a little more "trebly" to me. Just my old ears, perhaps. If you can get a D1A and a TDM Custom side by side and play a…"
John R. Mann replied to Irving Sanders's discussion What type or brand guitar do you play?"Play a bunch of Martins, Collings, Huss & Dalton, & Bourgeois--
Play some Gibsons for a different sound....
ON the Gibsonesque side, the John Walker "Wise River" is a great guitar, an easy player, and sounds akin to and better IMHO…"

Anyone have any trouble with photo uploads. I've been trying to change my homepage photo and have tried using three different browsers with my iMac--Safari, Firefox, Opera, and none with do an upload. I select the photo from my folder and it shows next to the 'browse' button on the webpage but nothing happens. Wondered if anyone had some suggestions. Thanks

Strange how we keep showing up in the same places. I've been busy with the holidays, but I haven't forgotten that I will send you some audio clips of my Braz Bourgie. Playing for you makes me a bit nervous but I'll do my…"

Jim Nunally said… - Hi John,
We were in MT not long ago. I did a Martin Guitar clinic with Larry Barnwell in Bozeman. Keep and eye on my website www.jimnunally.com. There is a schedule page there where you can find out where I will be.
I am pretty sure John Reischman and the Jaybirds will be in MT some time in 2010. Not sure just when.
All the best to you,
Jim

Happy New Year
John

Tom Faux replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"I recently came across a steel string parlor guitar made by P. Benson, in Minneapolis. It's really a nice little instrument--well built, comfortable, very much like an old Martin 00-18 (mahogany, slotted headstock, pyramid bridge, ladder…"
Marc Schlotthauer replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"

Clyde J.Ortego replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"I play a Silvertone Acoustic from back in the Sixties."
Mike FlatPickingBuddy replied to Todd McFarland's discussion What brand do you play?"I have a Guild Bluegrass D40 made in the original factory at Hoboken that has been with me since 1964
I also have a Martin D18 made sometime around 1994 and a 1977 or earlier Yamaha FG336SB"

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
