			<description><![CDATA[ <p>As some of you know I am completely into the acoustic side of things.  However, as I start to branch out I am puzzle by how to change guitars, that have
pickups in them, without having to go over to the amp and turn off the power so I don&#39;t get that pop sound.  Does someone make something that  you can turn
off the current or sound from the guitar so you don&#39;t have to go over to the amp and turn it off and then power it back up.

like...er....Mr.Knopfler. I saw MK three years ago and he was just outstanding. He has a somewhat unusual style - all that fingerpicking on an electric.
Nothing forces or overplayed...just a great player.

			<description><![CDATA[ I really enjoy the guitar playing and music of the late great Elizabeth Cotten. Some time ago I decided I really wanted to learn how to play her signature
song, &quot;Freight Train.&quot;
<br>
<br>
Easier said than done.
<br>
<br>
She had a very unique way of playing. This song is based in the key of C, but she plays a G bass string (on the 6th string) throughout the song, which (along
with other things) was awkward for me at first. When I realized she was left-handed and playing a... ]]></description>

I am looking for a comfortable guitar stool. Searches on the net have not turned up anything that really moves me. An adjustable  model &lt;$75 is my target.
Anyone have any favorite playing seats to recommend?

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi All, (is this a new category?? Sweet!)
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions on learning to play. Right now, I&#39;m teaching myself using a book with CDs (Guitar Bible that wifey
bought for me) and &quot;lesson&quot; sections from a few different web sites (about.com being one). I&#39;m still at a point where I&#39;m practicing
transitioning from chord to chord (getting better) and a few scales, but that&#39;s getting old fast. Any suggestions on simple songs?... ]]></description>

bought the soundtrack on iTunes last month and have been really digging it.

			<link>http://breedloveforum.yuku.com/topic/917/t/Harsh-Talk-about-Strings-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Often I hear a harshness in acoustic guitars (when I am playing) that is unpleasant to my ears. This occurs mostly in the trebles, and I hear it whether I am
playing with my fingers (bit of nail) or with a flatpick. To counter this, I have taken to using medium gauge strings on the e and b strings, and I&#39;ve
found that this does eliminate some of the harshness. I use John Pearse 80/20 New Mediums, which contain the &quot;custom gauge&quot; I like - 13, 17 for the e
and b, with lights for... ]]></description>
