Subject: Daily Guitar Podcast From: Patrick-Costello Date: 04 Feb 08 - 06:58 PM I've been podcasting daily banjo exercises for a while now with The Daily Frail so I decided to start producing a similar series for fingerstyle guitar. Crisfield Guitar launched today with a simple thumb-brush exercise. In the weeks and months to come we will build on that thumb brush pattern to create rhythmic and melodic licks.

Subject: RE: Daily Guitar Podcast From: HarleySpirit Date: 05 Feb 08 - 01:02 AM Hi Patrick, We "Newfies" here in Canada, have been following your banjo lessons, converting the "banjo frailing" technique to "guitar frailing", with some "Travis Picking" mixed in as well. Wow! The "Crisfield Guitar" series sounds like a great opportunity for all fingerstyle guitar players to learn from. Check it out Folks! A link to Patrick's web site can also be found at my alternate tuning chord charts page: here Harley |
Subject: RE: Daily Guitar Podcast From: Richard Bridge Date: 05 Feb 08 - 03:45 AM Funny, I just posted and here it isn't. I think this might be going to be interesting. Certainly I have always takenit as a matter of faith touse seperate fingers for the bottom two notes (G and C) inteh C chord, thather than "keeipng the pinky free". However, is my ear deceiving me, or is his guitar just a smidgeon off-tune? |

Sometime in the next few weeks we will start using the little finger to play the notes of a scale while holding the chord form. -Patrick |
Subject: RE: Daily Guitar Podcast From: Richard Bridge Date: 06 Feb 08 - 11:09 AM Yes, I figured that was the purpose. However my two best guitars have relatively wide string spacing, and with a little care I can get my ring finger onto the fretboard without muting either (!) so fretting both is not an option. I'm going to have to take some of my other guitars of the wall and see if I can get both strings while keeping the finger upright. At the moment I'm having more success with a back-bend. |

Subject: RE: Daily Guitar Podcast From: Richard Bridge Date: 06 Feb 08 - 06:02 PM Thank you for the other link. I can do the Em, Emajor, and Am with more or less ease on all my 6 string guitars - those use my second finger (the largest). The C and G in the C chord (with the smaller ring finger) are possible on (in order, starting with the easiest) my (campfire guitar) Morris, friend's Gibson J-45, my second best Hagstrom, my Mugen (Daion) THE78, and difficult but possible on my Martin OM-1. Not possible on any of my 12-strings. I have another Hagstrom out on loan to a friend. Yes, I have GAS. My best Hagstrom J-45 has had the string spacing widened a fraction at the nut, by a luthier, more on the bass side than the treble. My ring finger will not make the bridge on the two bass strings. Even on that guitar however, which does have a wide neck, I use a one-string thumb-over to give me a 6-string B7 chord, and I note you don't do that in St James Infirmary which I do do but slightly differently. I find the two string thumb-over (advised as occasionally useful by the late Rick Fielding) very hard work. |
Subject: RE: Daily Guitar Podcast From: Patrick-Costello Date: 07 Feb 08 - 07:33 PM My advice would be to stick to one guitar. -Patrick |
