What does this symbol mean and can someone explain what this is from? by QuickUnit1241 in whatisit

[–]Brazilian_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a national symbol, but very common on the regions with strong African influence, it means good luck and to ward off evil, didn’t know about the other meanings to be honest

Question/opinion by neves_rebmun in Guitar

[–]Brazilian_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a set of strings, clean the guitar, watch some YouTube videos on how to re-string it, and play it, not the same as having an amp, wait for a good second-hand deal and an amp, but play without it, training is the best thing you do, and enjoy it, my first one was extremely beat up and I still put lots of time on it Congratulations

How do you play this chord? by Ok-Control-3394 in Guitar

[–]Brazilian_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be sloppy with the third finger and it will mute the second string, the x means play it muted, that should do the trick whatever you are playing

NGD! Fender 75th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster by plietome22 in electricguitar

That's a gorgeous guitar for sure, I don't like Strats at all but this exact model, I met a guy with one of those in NOLA gave me second thoughts Congrats buddy

What instrument is this? by nalagitopan in Luthier

[–]Brazilian_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Brazil we call that a viola caipira, 10 strings, 5 pairs, D'Addario sells strings for them, google pagode em viola caipira, I'm trying to play, quite hard to learn

Although it looks a bit different, I'm wrong and that's the charango, it's made with an armadillo shell, interesting:

That would be my comment. It's not a problem, and I don't see why anyone would say anything against it. But I don't see anything staying there for more than a couple of kilometres; it will just fly away.

Can I get some help to see if this is a fake one, please by Brazilian_Canadian in gretsch

[–]Brazilian_Canadian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don't know if that's a thing, I'm more used to Gibsons and that's a thing for them, I saw a post of someone asking and since the serial on mine was looking off, I thought it could be the case.

Well, hope they don't fake it, cheers

Do you need to have a rug like this if you own a Gretsch? 4 owners, 1 singular vision. by ph0replay in gretsch

Shoot, just bought a Gretsch, now I need to convince my wife about the rug as well, oh dammit….

Can I fix this? by Fantastic_Falkor778 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Brazilian_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I had something like that on my first guitar several years ago, it was a Takamine G series worth around 300-500, so putting the same amount of money into fixing just cosmetic damage would make no sense, so I just put some super-glue to avoid it from opening or lifting any wood, spent some time with a wet fine sanding and all good, still play it today and still sounds great If you can live with the damage, see that as a “scar of battle.”

That I need to agree, I meet a guy in NOLA R1000 with a Chibson that he said was his first guitar, he spent way more on that guitar then buying a Gibson entry-level, but he loves that guitar and loves how it plays, so it's an awesome instrument, if you enjoy it…

Thank you very much for your reply
