Wow, thanks for sharing, what an amazing site you have ! I throughly ejoyed listening all your music and in particular samples of so many super vintage Gibsons and Martins. Its now thoroughly in my favourites ! chees.

All excllent points, really good thread and thanks for sharing. Couple things i would add: 1) I find mediums work great on mahogany b/s dreads as they bring out the natural woody richness of the tone, while 12's are better for rosewood b/s guitars. I found 13's on rosewood dreads in particular chokes the sound. I prefer non coated strings and i always put a new set of strings before a gig, hence it makes sense to use non coated ones as i reagularly change them. I just find its easier to play with new strings, and as I use DR Sunbeams they have a warm tone straight off the bat so dont have to worry about new string zip'. Bone pins /saddle - Ive plaed Colossi bone pins / saddles in all my main 3 guitars and yes, i do hear a genuine difference. Its subtle but there, all for the better Guitar picks - this is probably to me the one thing that can change the tone of a guitar more than anything. Its also the cheapest 'modification'. Thicker picks bring a really different tone compared to lighter ones. Its worth experimenting. Personally i tried numerous picks but i alway come back to the Orange Tortex picks, but if i play a track where there is a lot flat picking i gravitate to a thicker pick, as it makes picking really a lot easier. OK, thats my 7cents worth. cheers.

Thanks a lot Matt ! I must say we really do enjoying taking interesting songs and covering the acoustically, across all genres. We've had a big NYE show tonite where we will play three sets and learned a whole buch of new tracks over the xmas break, looking foward to unleashing them tonite in our favourite bar ! cheers. Mark

Thanks a lot for sharing guys, you each have our own style and thats why I enjoyed it so much ! Rob - loved your blues noodling and all that Dove love, what a beauty ! Matt- amazing setting and playing, inspires me to finally take fingerstyle seriously.. Wily - the classics really suit your style and you do it well, i need to speak to my singer about adding an Elvis number into our set possibly Mr Gibs - really, really enjoyed your original composition and your voice. Great songwrting and i can definitely hear the Balkan influene. Amazing SJ-200, that goes without saying. Thanks for sharing, theyre all different and inspiring in their own way, lets keep them coming folks ! As for me here is a link to our vids, pics and covers includig one with Mrs Euroaussie. And one pic from our firs gig sometime back from the beer capital of the world - probably seems fitting.. http://www.reverbnation.com/taylorprague cheers. Mark
