In this video, we talk about how to approach the job of putting a strap button on the guitar. We use an example guitar to show how the guitar may want to roll away from you, if the strap button is positioned in a not-so-good place… We talk about finding the balancing point, where the guitar just wants to stay where you put it, and not want to tip either away from you, or toward you. We talked about erring on the side of having the top of the guitar roll back toward you, because it will probably be resting against your body anyway… Having the top of the guitar roll AWAY from you is what we want to avoid! We talked about using a piece of tape, and a pencil, to mark where your finger is, when the guitar is at its balancing point. We talked about dry fitting your guitar strap end AND a strap lock, to make sure your button position leaves enough space for the strap end AND strap lock to lay flat. For those of you who may be wondering if this strap button location gets in the way of your left hand thumb, the answer is YES! BUT, these guitars don’t even bother having a cut-away in the body for finger access, so apparently that wasnt a top priority… Furthermore, if you are still insisting on trying to use the upper frets, thats fine… you just have to move your left-hand thumb, out of the so-called “hamburger hand” position, and into a position where your thumb is tucked back, and is flat with the rest of your hand. If you can already move your hand into this position, to reach the upper-most frets, then its just a matter of moving your thumb into that new position one hand-position sooner, to avoid touching the strap and strap button.

This is a Yamaha G-55-1 Nylon String Classical Guitar. Came in for service mostly because of a broken string… We noticed a tuning peg that was turning hard, and determined that the peg itself was bent, probably due to mishandling… So we will probably send this guitar back with a gig bag or a hard case, to protect the guitar… Was able to take apart peg and gear, and straighten peg… turns good now. Lubed all the tuners; and they all turn smooth now. The guitar also has several screw holes along the back of the neck, probably where someone was trying to attatch a strap. This guitar has a strap that is mounted to the headstock, but i am not a fan of this set-up, especially because these classical guitars dont have a truss rod, so any extra tension on the headstock is going to pull the strings out of tune. The guitar has a large section of wood thats been splintered out. Theres two chunks of wood missing from the sound hole. Will be thinking of the best way to approach these repairs over the next 7 days as the guitar is hydrated…

I play my guitar along to a live recording of Prove My Hypothesis by Death Cab for Cutie At the beginning of the song, they announce that this will be the last song of their tour, and then the tour will be declared over. Lyrics: Just admit that you're wrong And I'll give back what I borrowed or stole From the parent's house From the studio, it's the principle You said, "Wait here, prove all my hypothesis" Catching up with the band Their drummer had left to pursue his career I rode in their van, they stated "The parting was ugly, it brought him to tears" You said, "Wait here, prove all my hypothesis" You said, "Wait here, prove all my hypothesis" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yZpI-MUGafY

This is John, age 77. He kinda fell thru the cracks of tech, and is just now learning how to use a smart phone. John was telling me that he saw Jimi Hendrix live in concert on his last tour before Jimi died. So we found some Jimi Hendrix, And soon there were tears in Johns eyes

Drum battle between Sully Erna and Shannon Larkin, with Robbie Merrill on bass guitar, and Tony Rombola on lead guitar For me, the best part of this drum battle was watching the guy in front of me having the time of his life. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godsmack

This is John, he worked as an archaeologist, and if you ask him the right question, you’ll get an amazing answer.

We were at a show, and it started raining and everything turned to mud. Everyone ran for the tent shelters, and hung out waiting for the rain to pass. Everyone except this one kid.

Neighbor kid lives in the house across the street, with his great great grandparents. Apparently at some point some “shooters” came in the house, and thats the day his great great grandpa died. Apparently he still lived there with his great great grandmother, Until she passed away. Last we heard he was moved to Arizona and living with his grandparents ? Supposedly there is some truth to this story, although details are hard to come by. Seems to me this kid wanted to talk about what happened.

In the first video, we roughed in the custom pick pattern with scissors, In the second video, we use files to shape the contact surfaces so they have the perfect contour. In the third video, we use sanding blocks to put a final finish on the custom guitar pick. This custom guitar pick can still be used like any ordinary guitar pick, However if you rotate the pick in your hand, you will discover two new ways to hold the pick. The first way is to hold the pick so that the smaller two tips are hitting the strings. While holding the pick in this position, you will notice that your thumb and finger find the other notch useful as a tiny handle, to more precisely control the guitar pick, for extra articulation. For example, the two tips are spaced the same as the guitar strings, so if you held the pick at 90 degrees to the strings, you could pluck two strings at the exact same time. Of course, you will probably feel more confortable with your pick at a 45 degree angle, so when you pitch your wrist and/or or thumb, this angle will change, making you hit the strings either closer together in time, or farther apart. Also, with two tips it makes it possible to hit the same string twice with just one movement, And depending on how you tilt your wrist, will change how much time is in between the plucks. Also, the little valley in between the two tips is very useful for controlling a string, like you can catch and trap a string in that valley between the tips. Alternatively, you can flip the pick over, so that the two tips are facing up, and the bigger notch is interfacting with the strings.

In the previous video, we started with an ordinary guitar pick, and put tape on it so that we could draw a pattern, and then used scissors to do a rough cut of the pattern. In this video, we use small hand files to clean up the scissors burrs, and also to shape the surface more precisely and closer to the finished product. In the next video, we use sanding blocks to give the custom guitar pick its final finish.

In this video, we begin with an ordinary guitar pick, and put masking tape on it, so that we can use a pencil to draw the pattern onto the pick with a pencil. Then we use scissors to cut out the pattern of the new pick shape design. The scissors leave a rough edge, so in later videos we use small files and sanding blocks to give the custom pick a fine finish
