Not wishing to boast but I can play 6-string guitar like that. I tune it DADGBD (from the bottom string) & normally play in the key of Gmajor. With open-tuning like that it's a lot easier & even if you miss a note, the open string is still in the right key.

That sounds like a top tip, and as if I need another guitar. I'm not spending hours re-tuning!

You should put something up of you playing, next to your ponies! (Not playing next to your ponies, but on google, where the video.......you know what I mean!)

What's the "G" clamp on the bridge for?

I'll see what I can do. Bit difficult at the moment as we've got Sandra's sister & her 2 young kids (brat #3 is 1 of hers) staying here due to domestic problems. So, as you can imagine, the house is a bit crowded. And the way those kids fiddle with things, my guitars are safely shut away.

Post by: DoctorBeaver on 15/08/2007 09:48:43

Rather than using a capo which closes all strings, the G-clamp can be used to hold a particular fret on just 1 string.

I see. Not very pretty though, eh? On that 10 string, did I see smaller clamps screwed into the bridge?

Title: Guitar played like you've never seen before!
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 15/08/2007 10:19:47

It looked to me as if there was at least 1 clamp screwed into the neck. I've got to go out now but I'll have another look when I get back.

My four years consisted of basic music knowledge learning how to read it and a lot of the terms, not much for background etc. etc. Played a few instruments, but haven't picked one up in years... Have tinkered on the keyboard and a piano.. Really like those but cannot play worth a darn. can pluck out some notes if I practice a while it been some years...

Title: Guitar played like you've never seen before!

My knowledge is 2 years of Piano, 8 months of Guitar, and 4 years of Saxophone. Granted most of it stayed the same from instrument, but I taught myself everything!!

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave in another post. To whit...

2 Mini Moogs; Korg K1; Yamaha DX7, DX9 & DX10; WASP; SIM VS3; TS404 & FL3X synthesisers.
Yamaha PF-1000 electric piano.
Kurtzweil PC1X 88-key MIDI controller keyboard.
Slingerland & Ludwig drums.
Zildjain cymbals (high-hat, 2 crash, 1 ride, 1 sizzle) - the only good things to have come out of Turkey!
Modified Gibson SG Custom, Ibanez Jem7 VWH, 2 Washburn MG-24, Starfield Galaxy custom, LTD MAG-5 5-string, electric guitars.
Martin J4 acoustic guitar.
Colin Morison classical guitar.
Ampeg 5-string & Fender Precision bass guitars.
Yamaha upright bass.
Yamaha electric fiddle.
Non-descript Gaelic harp that I won out-drinking a paddy in Waterford.
Hohner chromatic harmonica.
Zoom, Dodd, Jezkola, Zephod & ElectronX FX units.
A tambourine I pinched from the Sally army carollers for a dare a few years back.
A few other bits & pieces that happened to be lying around - including a 6x4 lump of mahogany that sounds good when whacked with an iron poker.

And I've just realised I put MAG-5 5-string guitar when I meant MAG-7 7-string.  [:I]
