Guitar Talk (people who play guitar blog)

Ted,
Do you realize the can of worms you are opening when you raise the "humidify question"? Be very careful with this one! Seriously (yeah right), I've seen an acoustic guitar dry-out completely and that's really the end of its playing days. Can't say I've ever seen a guitar get too much moisture, well, except for the time Ronnie Ray and I stuck our wet swim trunks in a case with a Telecaster but that's a story for another day. Surely a guitarist should consider the climate they live in. A guitar is going to be exposed to a whole lot more humidity in New Orleans than in Phoenix. Happy Guitar Talk™.

Oh, so now I'm on a panel? Hmmm... Well, my advice:
1. Stay in school until you graduate (medical or law school), your choice.
2. Don't play clubs for recognition. They are a good place for paid rehearsal (nobody is really listening and if they are, they don't know crap about music. No need to frustrate yourself on this one).
3. Don't sign any record deal with a major or minor label until you have retained a lawyer specializing in entertainment law (the "deal" usually implies that you are good but in reality, you are being iced so no other labels can sign you).

Oh wait, I'm the steel guitar panelist. Never mind....

>>Red guitars simply sound better<<

Lars,
Thanks for the comment on the track. Although I own a black Sho-Bud (steel guitar), my best sounding axe is the "RED" Emmons (steel guitar). The Emmons is on Ted's tracks. As far as the paint or stain goes, let me add the "Formica factor" since that Emmons is not only red but also formica. I love science!

Let's go players! Who is out there? C'mon! Where is Steve Hess when you need him?

Ted,
I don't see the problem......kidding. Would a compressor or noise gate fix it?
