Dear Individual and Collective
Dear Individual and Collective Wisdom,
I am an amateur guitarist of about 25 years. I play fingerstyle
acoustic, electric, and classical guitar. Because of my other hobbies,
such as gardening, I gave up playing with nails some years ago and
strictly play with my fingertips.

If you weigh this against all the appliances and gadgets it replaces, it's
just the price of a few cups of coffee per day (for about 8 years). It

Howdy All,
I just listened to this song, and I would say for sure they are using
microtones intentionally. It's slow bending which is part of the main riff,
but the emphasis is on the microtones between the notes. Repeated over and
over...
I would agreee this is pretty common, although
So perhaps the trick is to play in a basin, such as the Mediterranean, where
the water supports most of your weight...
Imagine how shocked you would be to look up and notice a millenia had gone

There wasn't a whole lot of response to your string question on the list,

I'm wondering why you decided to go with Nylgut?

I also have a number of questions about synthetic strings, such as:
Are Nylgut (made by Aquila) more 'gut-like' than other synthetic
strings, or is this just a name?
What are carbon strings and how do they differ?
Are the strings made by different manufacturers (e.g.

I think the point George is making is that questions about minutiae are just

Sure the gear and technical details are interesting to many, but they easily

I wonder if you could relatively inexpensively construct a lute (the bowl,
at minimum) from carbon fiber (like some acoustic guitars) or molded plastic
(like an Ovation guitar), and what it would sound like?
