Hi Edward, same here with my album - I'm way behind the schedule I had planned. But nearly there now. Lost a few months - with a saddle problem, then broke 2 fingernails in succession, then decided to use different strings than I'd used on the demo versions because I thought they sounded better. I recorded 5 tracks then changed my mind and decided I preferred the sound of the original strings! ...what a carry on. :) Got 10 tracks complete now, only 2 to go. All drafts are up on my music player.
Hi Edward, Thanks for the warm welcome to the Martin Owners group. Think I'll pass on the Logic Users group for the time being. I've just about finished my Geetar album and just know that dipping into Logic Express a bit more would take away time from completing the album :) I know I'd probably pick up some tips for improving the sound I've got now, but it's a never ending quest isn't it! I'll probably join early 2012. I'll keep in touch. Cheers. Chris.

Hi Ed and thanks for making me feel welcome
I have been to Macon many times but not sure of the town you are talking about. Ed would like for you to take a look at the pic. on my page of the "old"??? guitar and case that I got on eBay. Would like to know if anyone could reel me anything about it... as there is no name..name on turners and on the on case but need a magnifying glass to see them. ANY help you could give would be helpful

Hi Edward, I'm enjoying 'If I had a gun'. Great song. I really like the lyrics. :) Take care, Rowan

Ed,
I've been working on "Hello Woman" and should have something to send you in the reasonable future.
Thanks for the welcome Ed! I did upload one of my songs in WMV, its shown as an attachment to my post. Not sure if this the best was to go about that but I am "technically challenged".
Only got the 2 guitars a '73 D-28 and a Guild Starbust 90's reissue, that's what I play at home and on the road (gigs etc) also write with either.

Why the "S" on the '76 Martin?

I absolutely agree that Ken did a great job-I think this version sounds really good. I hadn't thought about it before but you are right about the phrasing being similar- I wish we could have been in the same room doing it, that would have been a lot of fun!!! He might be coming to visit a relative in New York City at some point-I hope I will be able to go meet him there if he does that. Thanks for taking the time to listen and offer feedback-your input is always appreciated!!!
I have not forgotten about "Hello Woman"-I was "playing around" with it last night actually. It has been a busy summer and I really haven't done much recording but it's time to get back to it and that is first on my list.
Hope you survived the hurricane. We did but many students and staff that I work with literally lost their homes. I spoke with one of our other psychologists yesterday and we are going to make ourselves available to any student who might need some support as soon as the new school year starts (Tuesday).
Yea that helps a lot, I understand solid wood that way just wasn't sure if it meant complete solid body or just real wood, Thanks a lot, I'm ready to go.
Thanks Edward, Great info, 1 stupid question, what does solid wood mean and as far as price I have to say I'm not rich but I have a small inheritance from my sister that means I can spend a pretty good bit, as for my Sigma it looks like it is on a showroom I didn't play it for a lot of years but now I've played it everyday for a year but I take really good care of it, I was proud of it until read inside it made in Japan that kind of disapointed me but it still sounds great so I have to get over that, and I will never get rid of it. I started playing so late that it will never look like willies guitar so it will be left to my grandkids. Thanks for all your help. Dave.
Good morning Edward, its David Richards, I've been at this guitar training for a year now and am pleased to announce that I'm beginning to play some songs, I consider this no less than a small miracle. Now I want to upgrade my guitar, I have a sigma Martin and I love it but was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you.
I can't download it -- It's a different version of Microsoft Word -- is it Vista? That usually happens when people send me Vista documents. Can you make a PDF of it? Donna
Thanks for joining the Business of Guitar Group... hope you get some good out of it. We never know until we realize it... right? Quite profound... :-) All the best... Jeff
Thanks for the comment, Edward. Visit my website at http://benjimartinmusic.webs.com. Here is a bit of a head's up: I have some really crappy demos uploaded there but I plan to record and upload some better ones soon.
Sorry for the delay, been away some. The higher one gets the colder and dryer the air is. I've never seriously considered taking one very high. I have seen a few Martin backpacked guitars, but the weight and space needed were just too much for me. I wonder how a Rain Song product would do?
Thanks for the note Edward, always a treat hearing from you.
I reread my comment about the key-ring capo. I add a quip about having keys dangling from the neck of my guitar. It was meant as a joke and not a reflection on you in any way.
No-one has said anything to me, however; I think it was in bad taste, and have axed it. It was a joke at your cost, my apologies Edward.
No this is an F30, the smaller "folk" model, which I think is formally the "O" or orchestra size. I will post photos soon. I have been waiting for an F30R (rosewood version) to come up for sale, but they seem to be scarcer than summer in Calgary! Have you got your D12-28 back yet, and did you get the message about the Martin CSN?

Currently I only look, but I really like the group.

Thanks Edward. I have a lot of respect for you, and it just made me uneasy.
Be well my friend!
