finnaly,.. after six mos. of deciding,.. I went ahead and pulled the trigger...  :yesnod:

Brock Samson

it's supposed to be tuned like an Oud,.. but i got it tuned like a 12 string for now,..
I went ahead and purchased a Boss Loop Station to go with it,..


  ...I had to forgo getting Patron the Pitt Bull Puppy, just yet,.. cause my job is laying off another 100 folks from the newsroom and i may be unemployed and out on a job hunt shortly... and a new puppy probably isn't a good idea just now,...  :-\
anyhow,.. i visit patron everyother day and want him to go to a stable home...  :yesnod:

And Chris G. was right,.. you actually can post four pics at a time!  :shruggy:

I have never seen a fretless 12 string..cool
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

Brock Samson

actually it's an 11 string Oud..
but i ain't that good yet... so i'm starting off simple..
I'm havin to relearn or invent rather a completly new technique... quite the biotch i assure ya'...   :brickwall:

I was also right about you changing your mind about the dog, but never made it public. I would have bet my car on that.  :icon_smile_wink:  :-*

How much does a guitar like that go for? It looks pretty cool.

ps- Atta boy on the multiple pics in one post. You did me proud.  :thumbs:

belive me i would love to have the dog but i can't be out pounding the pavment looking for work and take care of a rambunctious bruiser too, i may have to get two jobs to afford to live here,.. besides, i hear there's another family willing to take the guy so i need to think of him and his wefare...
The axe listed on the web site at $1,200 but cause noone would buy it from the store, i got it for $900.oo so i went ahead got the loop station too...
they were really sick of me hangin out there playing that thing and sampling all the latest effects too,.. so the owner (i've known him for 30 years) comes over and says, "Just what will it take to git ya' outta here?."  :icon_smile_wink:

Nice guitar, I gave up trying to learn to play a couple years ago.
I had an old "Eagle Swinger" that my grandpa found in his basement, it never held a tune but it was black with a black pick guard and black pick-ups. It's just a fender knock-off from the 70's or 80's
My bro has a fat-strat.

His whole playing style. I love the fact that he used his classical roots and his heavy metal style and combined them to make the unique sound he had. Its just the way he played and yea, also, I love his guitars that he used too! I got one of his replica guitars but a different colour.

Bronzy, do you play acoustic as well? I remember when I started I was like you, into rock and my shredding phase. Never be shy to get into other styles of music. I was a little stuburn about it when I was younger but after seeing some live performances it made an impact. Diversify as much as possible. It'll only make you a more complete guitarist. Mess around with different styles if you can. (electric, acoustic, classical) Remember, chicks love the soft stuff :2thumbs:

A few years back I was at  a guitar store and everyone was whaling away. Mostly shredders trying to prove there skill by recycling random phrases as quickly as possible. Then a short mexican kid came in, picked up a classical guitar and just put then entire room to silence. Not that he was trying to show off but just that the sound was so fresh and different from the everyday that nobody could match that type of originality the kid brought. I gave him the props he deserved. It also led me to start playing flamenco.

The Godin looks great. Never seen one like it. I remember when they first came out years ago. My friend bought one and always thought they were very unique, kinda like Ovation.

Looking at the Oud, I can't see it playing like a 12-string. The strings seems a little too far apart.

Do you fret each string seperately? That'd be wild to learn!

I play 6 and 12 myself....

dodgecharger-fan

Never mind.. upon closer inspection I can see that all but the top string has a "paired" string.

*thinks about removing the top higher ocatave string and tuning as an Oud*

Hey? What's an Oud?

Brock Samson

yes, well,..
the conventional E Mag. finger positions simply wont work, each strings note needs to be properly placed and the best way to get it is to individually play each string's note like an arpeggio,.. and,.. the the gut strings plus lack of frets mean the notes attack and decay are short,.. very short,.. not a whole lot of sustain, shredding is not gonna happen... :icon_smile_wink:
so I'm playing everything slowly with alot of deliberation and incorporating as many harmonics as i can which both sustain and keep the accuracy of my fingering honest... kind'a like audio landmarks...
I have been collecting Cd's of north African music from Tunisia, Morocco and even from Pacific Islands from Japan to Tonga and I'm finding allot of slide guitar techniques like Hawaiian slack key and bottleneck slide styles are proving useful...
  Staccato Picking in a Mediterranean style is working out pretty good for my right hand,..
Continually hitting open strings for a underneath ringing tone and playing over the top of them with phrases in between works pretty well too,..
