    Thats pretty cool. I think the change in how we listen to music is part of the growth of musicians.

    Loraine is right, practice and watch the arch of your fingers. Also look at the angle of your wrist. If your wrist is bent too far your palm will drop, and your fingers will sort of straighten out to make the reach, and this can cause issues with muting as well.
    Lots of times these issues can come down to posture… back effects shoulder angle, effects elbow angle effects wrist angle effects finger arch and boom string muting.

    Thank you @BobGarrity1 and @AttyTJ

    I didn’t read the mid-week email until I got home this morning… I was wondering why this song bubbled back up…

    TJ, specifically, you and Doc are big reasons that folk has become one of my areas of interest again. You guys seem to dig old great old songs up often and always have a story behind them, and share them on the VOMs

    I guess you could take a quote from an old anime and change it a bit.

    It is hard to beat the advice @paul0r gave. Try them out and compare. I have 2 primary guitars that I play all the time. One was $1600 and the other $300 I love them both as much as the other and they were both worth the money. This sounds cliche, but the best guitar is the one you can’t put down, even months after you bought it, all brands aside.

    I flubbed a couple of times on this in the VOM while I was reading the lyrics, so I guess this is how I avoided looking at them… It really looks like I am taking a snooze

    Thanks for your kindness and for listening.
