-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Hi there! 

 

Hi !

 

Long time without playing thanks to my brand new carpal tunnel syndrome... (happy forties)

 

Oh dear, I had the same. And to a degree still have it. Too much strain from guitar playing, computer work, motorcycling and sword fighting.  It never really goes away, says my orthopaedic.

 

I managed to keep it under control by switching keyboard layout to Dvorak, cutting down on mouse use, selling the bike and putting HEMA activities on hiatus. Guitar playing time increased, though :-)

 

Take care!

 

Thanks I will ! first is wrist rest splint (very efficient until now...), next infiltration when necessary, a little surgery is the last step if it gets too painful (pretty common).

home alone tonight so loads of Guitar noise, shadows first of course

 

 

 

then Riverside which was bloody hard work 

 

 

 

subpar is a bloody understatement........

had to have a go on the bass.......

 

 

 

 

night night all

 

 

 

Slight improvement. Still can't get the (1) fret on E string to register every once in a while :(

 

Haven't tried this on RR but so far this is my best score. Played with fingers

Also joining the Lead.

 

This looks doable... 

 

P.S. Just noticed that my profile shows "Expert Guitarist". Lol yeah. My score shows it!

 

Having it sounding OK, but, nailing that picking pattern is gonna be interesting.

 

The link isn't working?

Major ORGA NEWS:

 

@@MaZtoR is joining in, hell yeah!

 

 

@@Fandaru is helping input scores

 

Thx guys!!!

Well, I am not allowed to write in the leaderboards yet, but yes, I'm going to help!

tonights slight improvements......

 

 

 

 

and i managed to get through the Master Mode on the Rhythm

 

 

and a tiny little plus on the Bass Riverside

 

 

if my Thunderbird would register some notes around the 14th - 16th fret it would be a bit higher

 

night night all

Took me a while to beat @@MaZtoR's score. I don't feel like my lead is safe.. Fun song

 

First stab at a few things:

 

 

 

Wow, this is a tricky MC. I feel like I'm supposed to be fingerpicking....  :ph34r:

My guitar is damaged, I get miss on almost every 4th string note.

After this week I would switch to Freebird, in the meantime I buy a new guitar or repair this one.

 

Last run for a while. Does this count?

sad to hear :(

surely it does count.

 

If it´s only a few days/weeks no need to switch to freebird, if you are not motivation will be even bigger to repair that damn thing fast.

Some misses that should not happen.

 

It's exhausting but is kinda fun.

 

That's a pretty old custom. Solo made me rate it as an Advanced tune.

 

I was fingerpicking :D

Here too!

 

Easy.

It's my cheap first guitar. I have already spent in repairs more than its buying price. I'm not sure if it's worth to spend some more, but I can't afford a good new guitar at the moment. I need to think about it a few days. Hope to come back soon. 

@MellonFarmer your lead will never be safe. Just as mine never is.
