No issues on my end.

OSM Mark, @the-old-coach , so glad you are through the mandatory 4wd section of the course. Now you go off road when you want.

“What more could you possibly want…?😉” : Uhhhhhhh, live? I dunno, maybe it is just me.
Nice using Doctrine in a song

What I do not like about Zager is the setup charge. Zager charges 500.00-600.00 but you don’t see it right away because it is built into the price. I would rather get more guitar for the money and take it to a luthier for set up. The 400.00 savings will give me greater guitar choices.

Hey, just think, if you play mandolin you would never have to shift your thumb. What you have for fingers is a gift. Now we unlock the less obvious….your mind.

Seems like an eternity since I heard this old fairy tale and then I realized it had been only 200 years.

MemberApril 8, 2023 at 6:18 pm in reply to: Tendinitis and other pains, warnings, and suggestionsHi @Loraine , I am feeling your pain in sympathy. Hang in there. The only thing I have found that allows me to play into the hours and hours zone is not practicing harder but the opposite: practice playing easier. It gets back to your old “tension manager” which you correctly identify as feeling a “pain” when you are playing. I would suggest your tension level might need more tweeking? only a suggestion.
Lately I have been dealing with my fingers going numb on my fretting hand after playing a bit. To correct this, the moment I feel my fingers starting to numb I stop my right hand activity and work on relaxing my hand/arm while keeping where I was on the fretboard fretted. It allows me to fine tune my shoulder elbow wrist while relaxing my hand in position. When I get it all lined up my feeling comes back into my fingers and play continues.
I am a stretching fanatic too…without it I would not be where I am. Stretch gently and slowly, silly putty style.

Hi @trevor_finally_learns_guitar great discussion going on here! I find my thumb is always moving. If my thumb gets stuck so does my playing. The biggest help I can give you: eradicate tension from your playing. This will allow your thumb to go where it needs to go in order to give you the sound you want to hear.

Fine noodles and butter there without a doubt and what would the rest of SWR bring to make it alfredo. They are just Cream. OH!, on second thought Cream is pretty amazing.

right, good. There is a certain president’s son (not saying any names) that has all the lotto numbers in advance. You have to give him 50% of your winnings but the win is guaranteed.
I dunno, you asked what more I could ask for so standing by my answer. Live in person jam with SWR. Thats all I want, well that and my Chair and my dog Sh$%Head

No, not recorded live, I mean Live Live like the real dealio compadre.
Never ever would I ever ignore SWR. You know it is “something” if I am not getting to it. Just so you know I cover SWR in my bedtime prayers. That would include guest producers.

And I was trying to impress you with my sparkle heart.

naw, I made that word up on the fly as I was listening to your song. Cat words: way to constraining.
