Right about now I'm sure someone who  may be reading this may be asking Why is Kenny going here ?

 
Actually we're wondering Where not Why. 
 
 
 
Just kidding, I can't wait to have a toy again that I'll enjoy as much as you are with your new guitar! 
 

 
Craig ,
I sure hope you can and do get something to play on that will bring you that type of enjoyment ....
 
This question goes out to a few of the fellas here that have and use extended range guitars ...
 
thedukewestern, Jarsve , and Albert,
 
do any of you guys use a string dampener over by the nut area where the strings may resonate ?
after giving myself some time in the woodshed I have gotten serous and recently started recording a lot of my ideas  ...
I'm noticing that I'm getting a little bit of low end rumble possibly due to sympathetic vibrations of sorts happening with both ends of the strings VIA both ends of the nut letting things ring  through  .
I may have to figure something out since I'm playing my parts as cleanly as humanly possible technique wise...
 
all the best ,
 
Kenny
 
 

i use a sweatband. i use it to damper stings when soloing and it dampers resonance. its easy to move from just the head to both head and neck.

That would be a logical question to ask .....I'm going there for a couple of reasons ...
 

 
I figured it out Kenny.
 
You're just working your way up.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To playing a harp.

Jarsve ,  that sounds like a good simple fix  , I will have to try your tip out thanks

Good one James
As strange as this may sound , I have some harp groove clips over here ..I've played along to a few of them ...
And stole every lick I could grab
 
 
Let me ask you guys something ..would you like to hear something I'm working on playing the 8 string ?
The song I'm working on is not fully ready for prime time ..yet I could post a clip if a few people are interested.
let me know ...
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
 
 

I'd like to hear it Kenny.

Is this a trick question?  Of course we would! 
 
(I'm still trying to figure out how wearing a sweatband helps Jarsve play guitar; maybe he doesn't drip all over the place?  )

Hi James , Hi Craig , thank you guys for being interested
 
OK here we go .

A couple of things off the top of my head so people know what they are listening to ...
The song itself is a work in progress . Jazz Fusion Type of Groove
The guitar and Bass part you are hearing were all played at once ...
This was recorded as one track in real time over a drum part ...no tempo trickery's involved  ..tempo is 86 BPM
I punched in a couple of spots . the sections that are chords only are where the punch ins took place ...
i did that because I'm building up the song and coming up with sections ....
The trickiest thing about doing this was not the playing at all ...it turns out that I had to clone the guitar part and Eq the bass and the higher end separately ....still dialing it in ...
 
I honestly do appreciate your interest , please forgive me if I haven't reverb ed or bussed any hip sounds in the tunes mix yet ...I've only been working on this for song for 2 days ...
 
I hope some one enjoys the guitar playing ....
 
all the best ,
 
Kenny   
 
 

Damn, I already like it better than a lot of things I've heard lately.  Will be interesting to see where you take it Kenny!  Good job.

Hi Craig , I'm glad you like the clip
 
Kenny

Love it! That's some sweet stuff Kenny. Great bass groove hooked me right in. That 8-string sounds really nice.
