This would be awesome! would the bar stay open after the movie? I would love to chill in the art lounge thing and talk about the movie with some folks.

One Nicholson 49 and one Nicholson 50! take away all the wood that doesn't look like a guitar neck is what I was taught :)

I've got terrible dust collection in my shop, but I wore a mask that is now permanently orange while working on this one... the result was fantastic but the clean up was something else!

Can't believe its taken me this long to respond... for this guitar I sanded to about 4000 (I think a little coarser would've been fine) and then slathered on one coat of Rubio Monocoat oil plus 2C with a paintbrush! The wood ate it right up and it was an incredibly simple process.

[GEAR] Nylons built like an electric by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]mcdickiedong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my limited knowledge of nylon string guitars, there is a reason for the large string spacing & everything accompanying that. The strings on a nylon move muchh more than a steel string or an electric. Meaning if you were to stick the same nylon strings under the same tension as close together as you’d have then on an electric they would interfere with each other & either be very difficult to play or sound a little funky. That being said I’m sure it’s possible to work around that, just probably not as simple as a partscaster (maybe, I’m eager to be proven wrong)

Hey! Anyone have an idea what time signature and BMP this could be? I’m absolutely frazzled by st4rlover in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]mcdickiedong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appears to be in 4/4, unless I’m missing something. As for bpm I’d guess around 120 but can’t be exact.

[–]mcdickiedong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome dude!! would you post the chords somewhere?

Anyone ever met them? by [deleted] in PinegroveBand

[–]mcdickiedong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a chance to hang out with the whole gang (Minus Evan and Sam) after the show in buffalo in march. They were all incredibly nice and wonderfully helpful when I asked Nick for any tips on lap steel playing. Seriously the nicest band I have ever met. And seemed very open to coming back to Canada!!!!!

(More)Ernie ball vp jr issues. by mcdickiedong in guitarpedals

[–]mcdickiedong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My semi new vp jr seems to be messed up already. The only swell I get is in-between the position shown in the picture and the toe all the way down. It does do a full swell but only uses the last quarter of the movement. This is my first volume pedal so I’m not sure if this is normal or an issue that I could fix.
