Subject: Tech: Tape that won't hurt a guitar From: Johnhenry'shammer Date: 31 Dec 06 - 01:26 AM I was lookin to put a list of the songs I'd learned on my guitar and figured I'd ask if there was a good kind that wouldn't screw up the wood or something. Thanks. |
Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: Don Firth Date: 31 Dec 06 - 01:32 AM I use quarter-inch squares of masking tape to tack down the corners of the list, and if it's a long list, maybe a couple more about midway. It's never marred the finish of any of my guitars, and any residual sticky stuff usually just rubs off easily. I would not use Scotch cellophane tape, though. Don Firth |
Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: Ebbie Date: 31 Dec 06 - 01:37 AM How about the scotch tape that is specifically made to come off easily? It is easy to handle too and tears readily. It isn't very sticky but ought to be sticky enough for the job. |
Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker Date: 31 Dec 06 - 01:44 AM how about a sheet of A4 or bigger.. gaffa taped to the floor by your feet. big black tipped marker pens are a whole lot cheaper and cost effective than guitar finish repairs..!!! |

Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: GUEST,Ray Date: 31 Dec 06 - 07:22 AM Always wondered why a musician/comedian friend of mine used three floor monitors when he played solo. He covers them all with set lists and prompts. |
Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: Mooh Date: 31 Dec 06 - 09:44 AM Painter's tape, but get the best quality, leaves no adhesive behind, doesn't screw with the finish, you can even write on it (lighty so as to not mark the finish beneath). Fold one corner under slightly when you apply it so that there's an easy point at which to pick it off. Peace, Mooh. |
Subject: RE: Tech: Guitar tape From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 31 Dec 06 - 10:22 AM I second punkfolkrocker's suggestion. Audiences want performances to appear either spontaneous or well-planned, and conspicuously peeking at a setlist taped to an instrument during a set tells them that yours is neither. On the other hand, you can glance at a large-print list taped to the floor or a monitor without anyone noticing. |
