Interesting article. Thanks for sharing it.

Very nice.

I agree! And it is a most welcomed change. The slow load times in the forums made it so hard to check and see what was going on. After reading one or two comments, I’d walk away. It is much better this morning.

Soon, @PapaMinou , you won’t even remember that sagging regret feeling. It’s all fun from here on out!

@Bill_Brown, I appreciate your input. And I like the suggestion of using the higher strings as an anchor point.

@jumpinjeff . . . Yeap, I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification!😀

@jumpinjeff . . . Thanks for the follow-up info. I’m just going to have to keep playing and practicing. It’s interesting that you said when your callouses are harder, the squeak is more noticeable. Is there a fine line between having callouses on one’s fingertips that are too hard or too soft? I have never heard that before. I haven’t really thought about the callouses much, just glad they are there, so my fingertips don’t hurt as much when I play.

@jumpinjeff . . . Usually, when I am moving a fixed shape up or down the fretboard. Since there is no need to change position, I believe I get lazy and slide to where I want to go. I ease up on the strings a bit, but not enough to get the squeak to go away. On my PRS P20e w/Martin Retro strings, it is really noticeable. This makes me think the strings have a little something to do with the sound issue, but not all of it.

@JohnV . . . I received an email with an offer to purchase them. But here is a link to the D’Addario site for the strings: https://www.daddario.com/products/guitar/acoustic-guitar/xs-phosphor-bronze/
I believe they are available for purchase now.

I just got some of the D’Addario XS strings to try out; I just haven’t got them on a guitar yet. I suspect I will need to improve my technique before I see much improvement, regardless of the string choice. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, @JohnV . I think it is going to require an improvement of my technique, as you suggested. I always try to make sure my hands are clean before playing.

@Michelle-PSL – Yeah, thanks. The VOM was fun. I am still working too, so some things I have to miss.
