Craig MC replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"Now that you've been able to play this for several weeks, what's the verdict?"
Clark Ellison commented on GNuck's group Small Body Guitars"How does it compare to the cigar box home builts? Other than the ability to stash it on the bus and carry it on my motorcycle with ease I would have prefered a full size as carrying it in a car would allow the room. Cost wise I have $112.00 in the…"

"Looks a lot like our 6 year old Maltese named Suzie without the decoration.

Ours just goes out and looks at the squirrels and then does her business. In fact she ignores them to the point they will come down the side of the tree and come over…"
Clark Ellison commented on GNuck's group Small Body Guitars"Not pre 04, it seems to be the "new" ones. When I started looking for something I could fit on the bus I ran across numerous complaints of stinky Rovers. It seems they came in with some glue on the strap ends that was really strong in the…"
Clark Ellison replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"When I decided to get mine I was surprised to see they had changed the name. I have one Gibson out of six guitars I have purchased in the last five years. Of course my grandsons have three of the six guitars now. The oldest learned three songs…"
Eric Hamilton replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"This is one of the few "negative" reviews that I have read. I have my system set up as suggested in the "quick" set up gude and I don't have any lag. I have not played the game alot, so I can't give it a in…"
Eric Hamilton replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"Wow, I have the Learn and Master Guitar series too. I have the version before Gibson got their name on it. It is still the same instructor, same songs, same lessons and all that but on the older version he plays..GASP...non Gibson…"
Clark Ellison replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"Thanks for the free song link and yes it lacks a lot but a manual? I think if a guy gets caught reading a manual he has to turn his man card. Actually I would have enjoyed a little more reading on what I was getting into but just dove in after a few…"
Clark Ellison replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"I have Gibson's Learn and Master Guitar to round out the lessons. Now if I just had enough time to do both every day."
Eric Hamilton replied to Clark Ellison's discussion Rocksmith in the group Acoustic Newb"Clark,
Hey! I just got Rocksmith too but I am on the Xbox and I use my Epiphone Dot Delux. I'd have to agree with you on the song selection. There are not too many "Classics" on there. However, I believe more will be coming as…"

Rocksmith
Well I broke down and purchased Rocksmith for my PS3. It actually works well since it games by having you repeat notes and chords and adjusts the speed and difficulty at which it runs based on how well or poorly you are doing. It could use more choices in songs as most of the songs are newer and I am older and have never heard them. Then again it is new and and there are some other songs available from Guitar Center for the "game". It has several "games" you can play that are arcade type such…See More

Clark Ellison commented on Edward Sparks's group Gibson Acoustic Owners"Actually the floss idea came from a friend of mine and I just convert it to what ever it serves and pass it on. It is the way they remove the letters and emblems on vehicles before they paint them.
Clark"
Clark Ellison commented on Edward Sparks's group Gibson Acoustic Owners"Hopefully those letters are foam backed and then they can be removed with floss and a little goofoff. Using floss llike you would for your teeth only a longer piece slide the floss under the letter and work it back and forth and it will cut through…"

Chet Masters said… - Hi -DD wanted me to explain because I will be buying it for her: A "box guitar" is just a southern expression for a acoustic guitar. I do not want to buy one for more than a $100.00. No scratches or damage of any sort. Thanks for the info have a great CHRISTmas GOD BLESS

Luis Motta da Silva said… - Hi, Clark!
Thank you for your comment. That's very kind from you. You know, I've been playing guitar since 1963 but, in the last 15 years, instrument making brought a new dimension to my music and even to the way I see "the whole picture". So, thank you for your comment, be welcome to my page, enjoy the music and the photos of some intruments I put there, but, if that gives you any ideas... beware, instrument making is highly addictive!

Michelle Liggett said… - Haven't posted in some time...have been overwhelmed with work, the holiday is in a few weeks, and have been stressed out in general...not even taking any time to play with the guitar, so it sits in a corner of my shop, patiently waiting for me....and it never complains...
