I think it’s a bit of an illusion, because the hole and rosette sit on the arch where it is not entirely even given the location and the cutaway portion. I hope that makes sense. Happy to try better.
Hey Seattle-area folks: I'm teaching at Matt Munisteri's "Red Hot Strings" camp in Port Townsend, WA May 14-18. After the camp, I'll be in Seattle for a few shows. For anybody on this board,...
Yeah no, I'm so done with method books. I'll never buy another one. I can absorb a new concept in a few minutes on youtube. Oh dear. Bro, I can't hear all those chords. I just can't. I'm not...
I often joke about method books, but I am a real sucker for fakebooks/real books. They're a great resource, if you know how to use them. And that should hopefully be enough to wake up the "BURN...

This has been a long time coming Thanks everyone for commenting and wishing me well in this build; It's meant a lot. In this video I talk about the workshop, CAD work, 3D scanning, Forma's...
Gorgeous (headstock aside...), this one would really tempt me if I were on the other side of the pond! Is it an illusion or is that "rosette" indeed not really the same shape as the soundhole? ...
For what it’s worth, in your recording, you are comping with shells. I’m also talking about notes in the melody that are chromatic in that they don’t come from the chord or scale and require a...
I think that if you paid $500 for this guitar, it would be a $300 too much.
Yeah I mean I do know the fretboard in the way you describe as well. I would consider it part of learning one’s instrument. Using chord subs as a basis for playing stuff in different places (Am...
