Guitar Playing

[Down Up Dick]

Yeah, I know about ‘em, but they’re expensive and, too me, troublesome. I’m usin’ the CG for fingerstyle right now. I like the footrest better than on the right thigh though. Thanks for your interest and info though.

My son and I made some Guitar Lifts ourselves using his office lasercutter and suction cups from the internet

Very nice, Poul, you and your son are very talented. You’re very lucky.

I’m still thinking about getting one of those things that one sticks on a guitar with suction cups to hold it in place. Has anyone had any trouble with one marring the guitar’s finish?

I’m also still thinkin’ of usin’ a strap on my CG. Anyone else use one?

That’s good ta hear, Bill. I’m playing mine on my thigh right now, and it ain’t too bad. I think I’m gonna get a strap though. I need one for my concert uke too. I‘m working on playing blues with it, and, later I’m gonna use it for slide. I got a new book that’s pretty good, but it‘s all in first position. And I just learned about the other positions — ahhh, well . . .

None of the above is happenin’ much now though — Income Tax . . .

Ya know, Bill1, I’m gettin’ usta playin’ on my right thigh, and it ain’t too bad. I can hold it pretty well, and I can see things better if I want to look. I need to find a short piece of 2 by 4 for my right foot though. I think I’ll try it for a while.
