I recently had a guitar donated to me for the Guitars For Vets program, of which I am a chapter coordinator. It's a Tanada T-700. I know nothing about this brand, so did a Google search. The…Continue

Peg Andrae commented on Michael S. Jackson's group Veterans"Not much activity here for a while. Thought I'd check in with the group and see how ya'll are doing? I found a local bluegrass group that hosts a jam once a month. Three hours on a Tuesday evening - so much fun!"
Peg Andrae commented on Edward Sparks's group Capo Users Group"Thanks, Anonio. I did have the nut checked and it looks good. I think the Keyser has a lot of pressure - maybe 10lbs - and the G7th is a different mechanism altogether. I also tried the Schubb and think I like that one as well. Does not pull the 6th…"
Peg Andrae commented on Edward Sparks's group Capo Users Group"The G7 capo looks like it's very nice - clean low profile. Recommendations from the group?"
Peg Andrae commented on Edward Sparks's group Capo Users Group"I've been using a Keyser capo - the giant clamp - and while it's quick and easy to use, it seems to pull the 6th string about a quarter step out of tune. I need to adjust tuning everytime. Is there a better capo that the group can…"

Peg Andrae commented on Michael S. Jackson's group Veterans"Mike - how can I best get in touch with you? Thank you for your kind offer. I don't know where you reside, and there may be a chapter that is closer to you. I am located in Richmond, VA. I have a repair tech who would be able to take a look and…"
Peg Andrae commented on David Shade's group Resonator Players"I have been looking - still - and found a Dobro model 75 (1986) at Elderly in Lansing, MI.

PaDuff said… Hi Peg,
I am just getting started flatpicking lessons and I can fingerpick some, as far as who I listen to ????? I need to find that out! I need a few pointers as to where to start. I have played guitar for 44yrs (on and off) and bass for 7, I want to take my picking to a whole new level and Bluegrass picking is where I want to start. I'm checking out videos to find some music I'd like to play. I hope this group could help with that. So beginner would be where I'm at.

- Hi Peg, glad to meet you!
Yeah the mando taught me to use a pick and the banjo taught me some finger style as well as some clawhammer (frailing). But that is where the similarities end!
The tuning is completely different on a guitar. It's funny 'cause sometimes my chord shapes get confused ie: trying to play a banjo F chord on the gitar!
Do you jam with any friends? I've found that goes a long way toward improvement.
I see you like to play bluegrass? I've found that B/G and the blues have a lot in common.
I'm orig. from Detroit so have had a lot of blues exposure. The patterns are second nature to me.
I wonder if you have that B/G ear I am trying to atain, just from listening to it your whole life (being from the south, not trying to stereotype anyone!)
Anyway, keep at it, we're always a little better this week than last, and the weeks add up!
Keep me posted how you're doing,
Mike
