Imagine the freedom

March 29, 2008 by Chris

I imagine that having an extra digit on your left hand must have it’s con’s, but the pro’s might just make it worth it!

Playing a 7 string guitar would come in quite handy with a hand configuration like this? When playing difficult chord progressions like the ones that Bruce Cockburn and John Mayer use, wouldn’t it be nice to have another finger just hanging around the old fret board?

Wow, keep on Jammin’

Humidity issues

January 14, 2007 by Chris

This is the most important part of guitar maintenance that you always forget. I know that this is a problem that I have from time to time.

I just can’t resist the look of my Larrivee in the morning when I wake up and walk on down the stairs! When the sun bounces off it’s beautiful finish and refracts the light into our living room. We do use a cold mist humidifier and have the furnace humidifier around 35%. I also use a “Damp it, Super” with my guitars as well.

The Humidity Levels on acoustic guitars should monitored more closely now that you are aware of it, there are NO EXCUSES! I wish that I payed attention to this when I first got my Sitar. Now, the damage to this fragile instrument is irreversible. Don’t let this happen to you!
