Super precise. No backlash at all. Never slip and smooth as smooth can be but they're more expensive than a lot are willing to pay. At least the sets for guitar are in the $175-200 range while over $500 if you play mandolin. The big thing against Waverly's for the longest time was that they were 16:1 ratio which many felt was too coarse, so now with the 21:1 we should all be happy. I've already ordered another set for the 000 when it comes back from repair. Here's a link to StewMac https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-h...with-butterbean-knobs-for-solid-pegheads.html

 

Here's one more thing for you list: Blue Chip Picks. The single best flat pick I've ever used. I like the TAD 1R series in 40, 50 or 60 (thousandths) thickness and have them all the up to a full 2.5mm, which turns out to be too thick for my tastes, but each thickness brings out something different but wonderful. Of course they ain't cheap at $35-75 and you really want to keep track of them at those prices, but you'll never be the same after. Kinda like the day I spent photographing Townes Van Zandt.

 

Man, I dig those Waverly tuners. I think I'm gonna get some for my Guild.

Nice guitar.

 

There some kinda trick to pull offs other than practice? I'm getting them, but not as clean as I would like.

 

Like finger on the fretboard then pulling off?

 

Yes, and the string rings out. Good for blues.

 

ahh, hmm. Pulling off to open problems or pulling off to another note problems? Or pulling off with picking timing?

I'm trying to think how I do mine. I pull off quick to not ring out any harmonics, unless I want that. A lot of variables to this...

It’s hard to describe but I usually try to use the meat of the finger that I’m “pulling off” to pull the string and almost slightly “pick it” on the way off of the string. It doesn’t have to be dramatic, it can be very subtle but it makes a big different IMO.

Because if you just pull the finger off, you won’t get the second note as clear / sustained as you would if you can get this down.

Or was your question more so, you’re hitting other strings when trying to do a pull off and don’t know how to clean it up?

 

Thanks, just trying to get them more pronounced. I'm getting better. Just keeping at it.

 

So, is anyone familiar with the guitarist Cord Pool?

I like his solos. He doesn’t over do it and just plays to what the song needs.

 

Been playing for a while myself.... sometimes it seems effortless many times I can’t string 2 cords together....almost always fun though...I just bought a mono price guitar iddlywild cutaway to add to the 10+. Not bad for the 130 beans....

 

Just gotta do what makes you happy. Right now that's open G for me haha!

 

Finally Friday, thank fuk.

 

If I had to pick a favorite chord of all time it would probably be the open G.

 

As a Martin player it’s def the open G.

Iconic.

 

Those Martin Acoustic Guitars are spendy. Always wanted one myself but, couldn’t justify the price
