@Peanut Another one - pretty nice. Sorry to bug you, but with all the guitars, you come to mind. 😊


Finally got a chance to listen tonight... They are great!!! Thank you for posting! my metered internet... I can watch only a few videos each month so don't go looking for picking like this...

@Magpie Have you heard of these guys? white horse guitar club?


Funny, I've been to the White Horse Club in Halifax NS. Saw Johnny Winter play there, heck of a blues guitarist. Saw his brother Edgar in CA. The home club of the edgar bro's was in downtown vallejo ca, where i was stationed (don't remember it's name). Edgar would drop by occasionally, never saw johnny until halifax.

My guitar strings are dead… sounded horrible the last 2 days so I was going to put on new ones. Then… today they came back, sounded bad but not horrible. Strings do that sometimes, seem to come back to life for an hour or 2, then they get worse. I get about 15hrs of play time before they start sounding bad. Of course I play them longer, until they hurt my ears. They go from bad to worse to sounding like a sherman tank rumbling by.

They just cost too much to change as often as I wish. Monday I ordered 10 sets of 80/20 phospher/bronze strings, w/shp for $76. They were making them when I was a kid and have a sound I like.

There are new strings that last twice as long but they cost twice as much. They contain different metal alloys and have a different sound. They don’t sound bad, sound good in fact, just different. I heard them at the folk school last apr. Guess I’m set in my ways, like the old sound.

Then there are the newest strings with exotic coatings, alloys, even titanium cores. They cost $40+ a set but are supposed to last months. I bought a set to try but talked myself out of putting them on. Afraid I’d be stuck playing with a sound I don’t like for that long! At that price I’d have to play them til they died. A picking buddy at pine mtn told me about them, has them on one of his guitars. Next trip up there I can compare them to mine. Until then… 80/20’s will play just fine.

This is a fun song to play… ‘No End of Love’ done by Sam Bush on his cd ‘Radio John’. It was written by his mentor and life long friend ‘John Hartford’. @LadyLocust I have a cd I like, named ‘The Fiddle Tune Project vol 1’. A collection of John Hartford fiddle tunes, thought you might like it.
