If you know the story, you'll know the guy never got his money back but I guess no-one flies with UA with a guitar now !

Re: What steel string guitars to consider?

Ah yes .. I prefer a narrower neck (Small hands!) My friend prefers a wider neck (big hands!) and he had one custom made by a relative from the North West (now resident in Wales), Ken Powell. Ken is an up-and-coming luthier - http://powellguitars.com/ - worth having a chat with him. It was Ken's SFG...

Re: What steel string guitars to consider?

I really can sympathise about trying out and buying guitars..... :( Personally, for what it's worth, I like the Grand Auditorium/Baby Jumbo size for fingerstyle as well having as a cutaway. I have a Taylor 214CE which I can highly recommend. Also I have tried these (smaller bodies/cutaways): Crafter...

Re: From the Four Winds

Thanks I'll take a look. I usually enter dots into TablEdit to get the tab so no prob. By the way, in the "Vintage" book the Four Winds is shown as being in the Tuning of DGCFAD. (Key of Dmin?) But I soon realised that it's just the whole guitar is tuned a tone lower :). Confused me for a ...

Re: From the Four Winds

Gordon Received my copy of Vintage Giltrap today :D and as you rightly said the transcription includes the aforesaid chord sequence. I did get it pretty well but the missing chords were the easy ones! So there you go. :oops: By the way the tab for Lucifer's Cage is a bit bizarre. :? At first I thoug...

From the Four Winds

Only my second post so be gentle! Where to start? Well, I mentioned in my first post I have started playing guitar after a long layoff. But how much easier now with all the technology, published music books etc. When I started there was very little - a few Ragtime Guitar books by Stefan Grossman! I ...

Re: When / where did you first see Gordon play?

Probably somewhere in a folk club in the NW in the 70s - but Gordon really came to my attention through the now infamous Transatlantic LP - Contemporary Guitar Sampler Vol 2. When I heard Lucifer's Cage I thought wow! ( although String Guitars for two people by Ron Geesin - I thought .. wierd!) At t...
