moineau nordique Tech: question for guitar players.... (56* d) RE: Tech: question for guitar players.... 18 Feb 03


First of all, a Martin 00 does not have the same depth as a dreadnought, it's shallower.

Secondly, buy a good capo. Not a clamp-on type, because they distort the string spacing and pull the guitar out of tune. Paige is very good; Elliott or McKinney's the best, but way too expensive IMHO. I use my Paige, exclusively.

Thirdly, don't agonize over being able to barre chords. Many great guitar pickers don't even use them. Learn how to play the basics, well, then, after a while, if you're still of a mind, work on the barre chords. If you take on the really difficult stuff, first, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

Best of luck.
