    I remember several years ago watching a replay of Johnny Cash performing at a Billy Graham Crusade and he was talking and then did a song. He never once looked down at his guitar the whole time. That’s how familiar he was with the instrument.

    Again...
    I hate these men, and their skills...
    It's SO BEAUTIFUL.

    I think music like this glorifies God.

    Our God is a God of beauty and he is beautiful.
    It honors him when we reflect beauty as his image-bearers.
    Musicians can do that!!

    I see you major on bluegrass. Have you ever heard the Petersen Family? The son is pretty good on guitar, and they place some Christian stuff. Here is their channel: The Petersen Family

    Well said. In his little book Art and the Bible, Francis Schaeffer says much the same. He makes the point that when humans produce beautiful art, it is an expression of the image of God.

    Of course, there is dangerous beauty also, considering that Satan appears as a beautiful angel.

    Yes. I host an online bluegrass radio show on Saturday mornings at www.worldwidebluegrass.com. I had not heard of the Petersen Family. I will check them out. Thanks.

    Wow! So beautiful. At this point, I can't even conceive of playing guitar like that.

    I know, and he's so clean!
    But, in theory, what he's doing isn't that hard, if we understand music theory well enough.
    He's just playing what works in a certain key.
    I think in a coupla' years we could do it.....if we studied theory enough!

    Truly, though....I really hope to see you crush some Greensleeves come Christmas.
    Best of luck as we both learn!

    Good luck to you as well.

    Do you have any experience comparing the OM body size and/or the Concert size to the dreadnought size?

    Only in that I've played both.
    Some of the OM's are so thick, they're harder to play than a dreadnought IMO, and I don't have short arms. But I'm sure there are comfy models out there. If you're chickin' pickin' you'd probably do well with an OM or concert.

    I took some photos of the old guitar book Granddad had which I will post. I think it's from around 1910. Interestingly enough, they didn't use those great chord diagrams we have to help us learn. Check it out! CIMG5884.JPG CIMG5885.JPG CIMG5886.JPG

    Cutaway vs. Non-Cutaway: Does It Affect the Sound?




    The Non-Cutaway sounds fuller to me.

    I prefer the non-cutaway too. I almost never use those really high notes the cutaway is for anyway.

    Ditto here. I can see the need if you’re shredding on a Stratocaster. But I think the non-cutaway is clearly fuller sounding too. The cutaway is also brighter at the top end, which is nice on some sounds, and as JOJ said, I rarely see a dreadnought playing those notes anyway. You’ll note (pun intended) that Tony never even went below the twelfth fret here. Why would you.
