[QUOTE=katana_manatee;13576095]I'd love to see that myself.

I'm beginning to really dig Andy Mckee, he did a performance with Michael Manring on his song Dreamcatcher which as a video can be found on Andy's site.

You heard much of Andy?[/QUOTE]

I don't believe I've ever heard of him.

Just play and experiment a lot, find out all sorts of chords, experiment with different rhythms and get to know your instrument. After a while you get a feel of what to come up with that flows well with something else and pieces just evolve.

He is amazing, really musical. Go to his music page and you can stream and download some songs.

Check out Drifting and check out his tribute to Michael Hedges called The Friend I Never Met.

He is one of my favourite guitarists right now. Still in his twenties and just awesome. More musical than Don Ross I'd say.

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:08 PM

I'm not trying to write anything right now.

Whenever I attempt to write a song, everything I end up with is repetitive, boring, and just bad.

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:09 PM

I can play the first 10 or so seconds of Drifting.


:lol:

Ha ha same, just figuring out the melody.

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:13 PM

I'd try to figure it out but there's something up with my acoustic.

I think the neck's warped. The action is ridiculously high from about the 10th fret and up even after an action and multiple truss rod adjustments.

Nasty. What kind of acoustic do you have?

I need to sort the intonation on mine and lower the action slightly.

Hey, this is quite good, Steve.

You = win at life!

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:19 PM

It's an Emperador. I think it's kind of old.

I couldn't find any info on it but it's not that bad for only $50. I picked it up in a pawn shop a few months ago.

I have it strung as a 6 string now. I snapped a bridge pin and haven't gotten around to getting a new set.

HELLonWHEELS 11-05-2006 10:23 PM

hey everybody

Efrim 11-05-2006 10:25 PM

That's very pretty cody, does it sound nice?

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13576196]Hey, this is quite good, Steve.

Ha ha, I thought you might dig him.

He has some more stuff on his myspace:

[url]http://www.myspace.com/andymckee2[/url]

He has recently shaved his head... Fool!!!

Thonk: Looks pretty nice, looks like a decent buy for $50, 'cept the problems you're getting.

Efrim 11-05-2006 10:26 PM

Pshaa, what's wrong with a shaved head? My shiny scalp could kick your hair's ***!

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:26 PM

It doesn't sound amazing, but it isn't bad.

I need to get new strings for it. I don't really like the Fenders that are on it now.

katana_manatee 11-05-2006 10:27 PM

I'm off to bed, goodnight Ben, Cody and everyone else. :wave:

Thonk 11-05-2006 10:29 PM

'night Steve.

But I can whip you with my hair and headbutt you. All you can do is headbutt. :p

Nothing against baldness, just it was a shame he got rid of his hair.

Edit: Anyways, I'm definately going now, adieu.

I like it. The colour isn't doing it for me but the bass itself is great.

One Groovin Clown 11-05-2006 11:59 PM

It looks really purple in those pictures.
It actually has more a of a blueish look.
Either way it plays sweetley :chug:
