Steve, what does E's on the left mean?

Thank everybody for your interest. The Clark has been sold and this post is now closed.

This may be the last guitar that Jim Clark built before his untimely passing.. I am re posting this Lloyd Green model for sale at a sacrifice price. It needs to find a good home instead of my closet.

This is post is now closed.

Thank you.

RSally interesting stuff...

Fred justice told me that Mica guitars tend to have a brighter sound than lacquer guitars that tend to be a little warmer tone...both sound just great..one is not better than the other..just different.

Just beautiful....I want one

green with envy! Enjoy your new Guitar.

Thanks Fred for the clarification and thank you for being such a good friend...

My friend, Fred Justice says you would understand that it's a JB style of tuning..That's what youre asking I think..

I have gotten so much out of this thread...In the end, it all comes down to the wisdom of all you folks...what I am taking away is to just play and have at it the best you can. I am never going to complain about the luxury of having a wonderful instrument to entertain myself and if I am fortunate en...

I had the luck of being in a 2 day Newman course here in Phoenix in '81..just before my guitar was permanently borrowed. I met both Jeff and fran..I agree their courses are good but I am really in need of hands on teaching..I found someone recently and will give that a whirl next week..After I retur...

Yup, I'm with you partner...Only part I don't get is what a diminished chord is..Is that a minor like Em or Am..
Typically taking the root triad and flating the second note.. Like C Eb G is C minor...Is that a diminished chord?

Chris..

I signed up!!Thanks John

Thanks John..Course sounds interesting..I am not sure I understand what your talking about when you say the numbering system. I know Chord structure. Like E, A and B is a 1+4+5..That's true for every donminant major chord e thru the octive. Are we on the same page? Thanks for the very good advice. C...

Richard....I especially thank you for your encouragement..Means a lot, pal...

Well, I never expected such sweet outpourings of well wishing and advice. I am blown away by this community! I belong to many groups...car guys, gun guys, fly fishing guys but this group takes the prize for understanding what I am feeling about my guitar. I am a person used to excelling at what I do...

just referred to the Emmons tuning set up.

This is not a push- pull guitar..

Well, here's your chance.....They're not making any more of these beauties.

Hi Stu,

Believe it or not, I think I have this album in my vinyl collection. It was/is one of my favorite recordings that Rick[y] did before his untimely death.
I loved Brumley licks.

I have to figure out how to get it on to a CD...

Thanks Stu..It is really just almost too nice to be a gig guitar. everyone that sees this guitar is just blown away by the color combination with the blonde maple and emerald green grain.

Mesa is way closer than Apache junction...can you help me with margies phone number or email?

Hi Joe, Yes, fred is a wonderful friend of mine. I own his D-10.. Unfortunately, Fred is many miles away and more importantly, he's up to his eyeballs in back orders on guitars. He's got no time to teach..every waking moment is dedicated to building probably the best steel in the world today.. I lov...

Thanks for the encouragement...I get it. Mostly posting out of frustration because I am so bad and I am such an A type..
You are in AZ with me? Are you playing with anyone.. would come to see you.

Chris

I must..I decided to buy a Pedal Steel Guitar and try to learn to play it by myself. This is called "Torture" in many languages. Seriously,I was a mediocre 6 string player that fell in love with the sound in the late sixties when I started listening to the west coast country rock sound..By...
