I totally understand everything you said. You sound like I think (from plectrum, fewer fingers, etc. I sometimes catch myself strumming and wondering where did that come from? ) The irony is,when I was first playing guitar as a teenager, I played fewer notes and little bass. An older respected player told me to play all of the strings. Until recently, I did. Now I realize I don't change to every chord, just a finger here and there. If I have ideas I will let you know. Great songs and voice too.

I just discovered your channel, and I am sorry I missed this live stream but glad I found it after watching your video on the Fishman reverb pedal which is the first video I watched from your channel.. I live in Atascadero CA and I use to be in a band in the 89’s I am 55 now and love to play acoustic guitar and I have written some songs over the years… My main problem is not coming up with ideas because I actually at times have ideas wake me up 😂 it’s getting the ideas together meaning I either have lyrics and no music or mostly music no lyrics lately… any way I thought I would post this because I thought you might have some ideas on what I could possibly do since you are clearly a talented guitar player… Craig

Hi Craig, thanks for the comment. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you! Yeah absolutely this is a common problem that I think everyone struggles with from time to time. I usually have lots of musical ideas but not enough lyrics. What I try to do is to try to create the title first and the theme of the song, then that helps me as I’m writing, I usually start with the chorus, then I create a blueprint of what I would like to say in each verse, just like a rough idea, this then helps me not get stuck while I’m writing the nitty gritty details of the lyrics and gives me a clear path to go down. Hope this helps!!

I have a Gibson J-45, I like to play low action, I’ve had it bout 2 years? There’s always this treble tingy harmonic metallic sound I hear, even raising the action it’s still there, not sure if the J-45 is for me, or if I’ve done something to mess it up

Hi, thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear you’re having a problem with your guitar, J-45’s are normally great guitars. Sometime you get this kind of sound from the part of the strings around the headstock, so the area between the nut and the machine heads. Try tying a piece of cloth around the strings in this area and then see if the sound goes away.
