Pretty complex question. I am by no means an expert but I will throw in my 2 cents. I'm a Lake Rat and did my share of camping for a long time before I bought my little house on the lake. I play a lot out there now…"
Jon Lloyd replied to Antonio Cotichini's discussion About microphones in the group Singers"I have a couple of SM-58's and I agree. They are a great mic. BUT...My favorite mic is the Electrovoice ND 767A. It's kinda like instruments sing through one and decide whats best for your style. For me, it's…"
Jon Lloyd commented on Wes Wilson's group Dallas/Ft. Worth Pickers"Hey, South of Greenville here. Don't really fit in any other group...so here I am!"
Jon Lloyd replied to Jud Hair's discussion Martin Stratabond Neck Re-fin Job ... makes a huge difference! in the group Martin Owners"Ok. Take out that line. Everything else stands.

Jon Lloyd replied to Jonathan Cooney's discussion Restringing Problems"Where is the string breaking? Thats usually a good place to start. If it's at the tuning peg...that could very well be your problem. Close to the nut....at the saddle? Thats where I would start. Remember that they…"
Jon Lloyd replied to Gary Dupuis's discussion What was your first acoustic guitar??"My first guitar was a Yamaha. Don't remember the model number but my mother bought it for me in 1979. I had a pickup installed about 3 years later when my mom bought me a peavey bandit for my birthday. I kept the guitar and…"
Jon Lloyd replied to AJ Ouellette's discussion teaching young children guitar"The best advice that I can give you is this. Find songs that the kids are interested in. Teach them to chord and play songs immediately so they do not get bored. Pick music that they like....not music that you like. Trying to…"
Jon Lloyd replied to Jud Hair's discussion "Jamming""I'm sorry, don't mean to be funny, but I can just see the expression on my wife's face if I said..."Honey, I'm going out for a while, gonna meet up with a guy I met on craigslist!""
Jon Lloyd replied to AJ Ouellette's discussion teaching young children guitar"AJ
