Forgetting and relearning

Do you sometimes forget a piece after not playing it for a while, relearn it but it turns out different from before? never quite the same second time around I suppose :D

 

Happened to me earlier with Rev Gary Davis' Cocaine Blues. It's turned into Ice-Cream van music....

It's a plain standard, issued to me as a replacement for the damaged Woody Guthrie model I had. I ripped the guard off it on the first day I had it and stuck this guard on instead. It's actually one of the 'Lacey Act' models, the ones with the two piece bridge.

 

Cheers Nick, yeah it's a cool picking exercise. A bit mutated from its original form I guess but works as a good 'loosener' to avoid the death grip.

nice pickin , makin me think again about swappin the guard on mine .... then no ... then yes

 

A cheap-as-chips operation and took about 20 minutes from starting to remove the old one to new one being stuck on.

Yeah just plain black on this one BBG, toyed with the idea of something a little more upscaled but just went with plain black as I had it sitting here in the house already.

I had a black and a cream one laying around, they definitely came from this side of the water though, but no idea where. I think I've had them longer than I had any Gibson acoustic guitars, but they were sealed and new in my box of bits n bobs... probably an eBay job I reckon as no seller springs to mind directly. Try all parts UK
