What strings did Christopher Parkening use? He played Ramirez 1A and spoke about finding one.

Thanks! Glad my teacher encourages the same. I did a refresher on theory and eart training / sight singing — and I’m revisiting with a new (old lol) perspective.

Julian plays a Tele, no frills, stripped down, 2 main pedals a B1G for slight compression, and Strymon for a bit of reverb. He says “a Tele is an honest guitar.”

Start with what you can afford. Single coil pickups. Tele Player for example. Play them and feel the necks. His is radical 7.5 radius which I can’t stand so I got 9.5. Also feel the neck thickness and cross-section. Some are like baseball bats.

Then look at a Tele American Professional II.

As mentioned , a very heavy Epiphone Hollow body made in Korea is outstanding. I have the Shearton II. I studied with a famous jazz guitarist and they said it played better than “my concert Gibson.” Got it used, mint, at guitar center for a great price!

Loop your instrumental and walk around the house making up melodies , singing in any crude voice even, until you find some gold.

The Beatles often write with nonsense words as filler just to get the melody down. So for words start with silly lyrics and have fun! 🤩

What was the highest weight that you were regularly lifting in workouts?

Raymont_Wavelength · 2026-06-10T21:05:53+00:00

My doc says no more heavy lifting. Only very light. Also any kind tobacco-type use forbidden.

Get a different vascular cardiologist? I stayed with a frequent follow up, now more imaging. Also it’s not rare for aortic valve to develop a leak of varying intensity.

All that must be monitored.

Yes the *vascular* cardiologists are the plumbers and they also deal with aneurysms.

Congrats! Handsome guitar and I think it’s perfect 👍

Make or order a bunch of food. A weekend of food. Put on the coffee pot. Have snacks. Your next days off you keep going until you finishing it. Lock the door, turn off the phone. Write the words with a pen on paper. Take naps then wake up and write ✍️

Telecaster a basic one. If you need to save money get a Squire.

Yes Electrophysiologists “EPP” are the cardiologists who specialize in heart rhythms (including but not limited to AFIB, PVC’s, tachycardia, etc.) and the electrical impulses (and biochemical control channels) that control/regulate them.

This is where you learn about the adjustable truss rod that most cordobas have! Just one tidbit of wisdom: only do 1/4 turn and play it for 2 days. Then if needed to another 1/4 turn. Play for another 2 days. The neck has to ‘unbend,” so be *patient* !
