Great job Karl! That's one of those tunes I'd like to build some speed on, along with several dozen others (too many tunes, not enough "free time"!) I don't know the fellow playing mandolin, but kudos to him, too. The way he was playing it reminds m…

People our age who like this kind of music are rare in VA. I play mostly Old TIme music, ragtime, and irish. The standard flatpicking faire a-la Robin Kessinger. I posted a video on this site, but I also have that same video on youtube. Just search…

Karl, I just became a member of this website and I was looking at your little ad on here. I'm curious as to what you do teach and which side of Richmond you're located on. I'm 23 years old and i live in Charlottesville. I've been playing guitar for…

Heya Karl, I enjoyed all your videos! You were asking about my Thompson guitar - I really love it, I'm not sure how to compare this one with the one Robert Shafer has, I didn't get to play his hardly at all. Mine looks almost identical to Robin K's, except his is a "Thompson", where mine is a "Bob Thompson" (Bob's son made Robin's). They sound almost identical. I don't remember for sure, I think I gave $2600 for it. My only complaint at this point is the action is a tiny bit high up near the nut - I will probably make my own bone nut & saddle for it when I get the chance, and adjust the action a bit.

You gonna do Echoes this year? Barry already called and asked me to room with him - I won't know for sure til the end of this week if I can get that week off, but I'll probably go if I can. I might do Augusta, too, if I can afford it - Robin tells me you will be doing "official functions" there - cool!

Steve, my office is across the street from Dusty Strings in Seattle and it turns out they have a D18GE in stock. I had not even noticed it but picked it up. The neck takes some getting used to (or probably for me the bigger adjustment is tied to a 1…

Sorry to get a little off topic :-( I realized it once I clicked the Add Reply button.. I like what you said about being able to afford a 20 Dollar Hygrometer... if you can spend 4 grand on a box.. and you can't spend the little bit of money on the…

So what you are talking about here Jon, is not what I started the thread for( but it IS a nice aside!) You NEED to know what your humidity is at in your house were your axe lives. That is what the Hygrometer is for. There are all kinds of threads ev…

I've never had a gauge that I've used for any of my guitars, but what I have done which only costs a few dollars is to get a travel soap box and a sponge to use as a small humidifier that I keep in my case. It's works really well and fits perfectly…
