Thats the new travel guitar. I really enjoy it. Sounds tinny and twangy, bu it's fun to play, nonetheless.

Don't allow yourself to bore. Therein lies your mastery of your material.

The instrument I play requires memorization of its music -- and note perfect. (no place to clip a music sheet to) Takes a while. It helps to memorize a piece in phrases, especially something with repeating structures.

Folk music tends to be designed around a single voice and a single instrument and easy to sing well. It really shouldn't be dismissed as "just popular" or "just whatever," because it's a very wide-ranging kind of music.

My Dad and his oldest buddy Vaughn. Vaughn is Guitar George.He knows ALL the chords.

you have to turn it up a bit. This was recorded in the loft My dad's bluegrass jam happens in each Tuesday night.

I lolled when my dad gave up trying to keep up with him.
