As a follow-up to Kinloch Nelson’s previous Tip of The Month, we distributed copies of staff paper showing how many different locations on a 19-fret guitar neck various notes and harmonics can be played. This is in contrast to a piano, where each note/pitch has only one location on the keyboard. One of the challenges of the guitar is selecting the optimal place on the neck to play the various notes in a chord or in a run of single notes.
Jim Hill brought his latest project in for the group to check out. It was his short-scale necked “Salad Bowl Guitar”. Several of the attendees took the opportunity to tune it up and play a few licks.
