Halló all , I was wonder I was performing last night and I took some Irish and Icelandic songs and one song I wrote only two weeks
ago and I use fingerpick in that song but I wasent happy about the
sound from my guitar the mixer was okei but can it be the strings?
I use no 0,11 what do you fingerpicking people use ? 0,11, 0,12 or
0,13? is this my proplem? anyone.
On the otherhand the weather witch has been giving some of you a snow in the US is coming to Iceland about next Friday so at last we are gonna get a little snow but it aint gonna be for long becouse
its getting warmer after next weekend , where does it ends ? this

Hi Skarpi,
I suppose it depends on the guitar and pickup.
I use a Takamini with Autosound Country Gold strings. I like the light guage 11 and let the amplifier do the rest.
We have almost drought conditions and fairly mild weather here on the isle of Skye.
It also looks like all the cod from the north sea have moved up north as they like the colder water.
By the way, it doesn't get bright untill 09:00 here and gets dark again at 16:30.
What's your daylight hours in Iceland?

The daylight is about 10:00-16:00,
I have a seagull guitar with two picups a duo system and i did not use both last night maybe that´s the reason?.
Sins I am afraid the cd is on hold for amoment.
and another volcano well we are afraid about " Katla "
that is a very large volcano and if she goes of then god help us
then we have move a 1000-2000 people away from their home
Katla goes every 100 hundred years or so and its over that time
already and we a lot earthquakes around and in the volcano so we are watching very carefully 24hr a day.
All the best skarpi Iceland.

Merry Christmas Skarpi! I hope you get SOME snow at least for Christmas - there is a bit of time left for you to get it and have a white Christmas.

Skarpi,

A good and a merry Christmas to you for sure !!!

Say, I have one question for you. Is it true that at your latitude it takes a singer six months to sing the song "Night And Day"?????

(I've always wondered.)
