The player is usually the main source of hum and the purpose of grounding the strings is to ground the player. Most guitars seem to be already wired with shielded wire. Unfortunately the jack...
Aero Instruments makes a product which was reviewed in GP. Basically one end of a wire attaches to ground and the other to something that looks like a penny that you place against your skin. It...

There’s also things like Miles ‘the serpents tooth’ which is not unlike progressions in tunes like Mean To Me, Bewitched, Ain’t Misbehaving (that we don’t think of as RC tunes, but kind of are). I...

So do a new poll that's delineated to your liking.
I'm no compositional expert, but I'll answer the questions regardless. I agree with both Jim and rpjazzguitar in spirit and method. 1: I rarely have very intellectual ideas to start with. Usually...
Those look amazing, and I'm sure they play and sound excellent as well! I have one that unfortunately I must sell. Please PM if interested. (Hope this isn't inappropriate.) Just a moment...
Sounds great alpop. It'll be fun once we know this tune so we'll to the point that we can Improvise with it. Are you still playing Rainy Day. Make sure to play it every day even just once and...
This sort of thing. $180 on sale for an established brand when I posted this and certainly more than necessary for busking. Also useful in a power outage or camping. Pretty sure you could get...
