I was web soifing yesterday and came across what promises to be another really good guitar forum, which covers "guitar nerd talk" on Martins, Gibsons, Collings, Bourgeois and other makers as well.

Figured I'd post a link here in case anyone is interested in checking it out. I have no finanical interest in this place etc. and am just posting the link as a courtesy. (Free to view but requires membership to post.)

The G.A.S. Station.

Thanks, J.P. I've tried resurrecting guitar threads here but no one seems interested any more. Maybe The G.A.S. Station will attract more active guitarists.

Going to check it out now.

Mooman, come over this other one for guitar stuff.
I plan to contribute there.
(I've done more than my share of guitar contribution stuff here over the years.).

Apparently the owner of this forum is looking for experts on Gibsons right now, and people really knowledgeable with Collings and other makers. He's a Martin guy himself (a person after my heart :-)

The G.A.S. Station seems to be off to a slow start. I don't know how quickly a site like that becomes popular so maybe this is normal. The G.A.S. Station is hosted on ezboard which hosts a huge number of forums and boasts 14 million registered members. One of the other forums hosted there is the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum with close to 6,000 registered members and a great deal of activity. Of course they only talk about Martin guitars which leaves out a lot of quality instruments and their devotees.

Actually, there's a lot of non-Martin talk on UMGF. Only one specific page out of many is expressly limited to Martins.

The best guitar site I know of is Flatpick-L. It's not a website as such, it's a mailing list, so you have to sign on before you can post. But it has an archive website, Flatpick-L Archives, so anyone can read it.

It's theoretically restricted to flatpick guitar, but at least one very active member, for instance, is a former Winfield winner in fingerpicking. There's plenty of discussion for anyone with an interest in any kind of acoustic guitar.

Justa,

You got it! I've joined up with my old Mudcat mcmoo name and have already started up a Lakewood thread and posted to the luthier thread. Hope to see you over there!

Peace

I've been checking in at The G.A.S. Station but there have been no posts at all for a couple of days. Posts I've entered either got no response or just a nod from the moderator. I think the high water mark is 11 registered members.

Now the site says it's down for "a few days" to get added features. After that, it looks like they want us to register again.

I'm tired.

I noticed that too Mark.
Give it time.

The owner has revamped it, and it's looking good, and has asked me once again to spread the word. (Mark, give 'er another try?)

Hello,

I just created a guitar program called Guitar Alchemist that's useful for exploring scales, modes and chords on the fretboard and staff. The program exists in a free (major scale, modes and chords only) and shareware version (major, melodic minor, harmonic minor/major, pentatonic major/minor, and many other features).

I thought you could be interested (more info at http://www.guitaralchemist.com)


Thank you

Stephane Pareilleux

I've tried several times to join up at the GAS station - but no luck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'll try again tomorrow when I'm at work.

I've now taken over this forum as requested by the original founder.
Trying to turn it into a decent acoustic and electric resource.

This is probably the wrong place to let members know about a guitar setup wizard but i have no idea where it should go. Anyway the guy is chris andrews of ca guitars baldock england. :-)

Looks like Chris has moved south a little - he used to be at Biggleswade, IIRC.

He did a very nice set-up, including making new bridge-saddles, on my Lowden a while back. Nice young guy, good work.

Generally guitr forums tend to consist of big headed typs with mose expensive guitar's mainly wanting to brag about it. Mine's a Crafter by the way
