  • NeanderPaul, Loved doing business with that Elmar, ordered a couple Flatpups for the next two 5 strings.

     

    Thank you so much for a really cool video,(s) FYI, I grew up 21 odd years on a dairy farm in Indiana;(before joining the Marines) miss home and loved the country scenes in a couple of the videos. The rotary car video was cool aslo, I've rebuilt three, 280 ZX over the years, feel the need to create brother.  Stay cool. Dave

  • Hi all,

    Newbie to Nation, I have made about 6 CGBs, been working in engineering all my life, but I am not a musician. Frustrating me that I am dumb as a rock about tunings. Only know standard EADGBE. So eliminating my first and sixth strings. Leaves me with a ADGB.

    Question: To tune to CGCE flat, (as Paul rocks on) do I Open tune down or up from the ADGB? 

     Sorry for the elementary ?and  for being a rock, LOL,I just don't want to bust strings going up to see. Sounds like crap just tuning down, much buzzing because of low action setup.

     

    Would much appreciate help, Thanks, Dave  

  • Seems to work at least in part with tuning my DGB gutar to DGA#.

  • The most important part, the super easy major minor chords, works on 3 strings with the tuning C,G,Eb. But the accent notes from the other C are not there.
  • Sharecropper Joel and I were talking tonight about using some of the great ideas here - only on a 3 string.  Yup. tried it and it does work well.

  • And I've written around 800 songs. :)
    Many many can be found here…
