For Sale - the Stringery
Published on 06/26/2010 by ElwoodHello all,
I am about to move out to the East coast. I've built this site up to levels where it can pay for itself and maybe buy you a burrito every few months. In other words, I've never really been in this for the money.
Regardless, I'm in need of money now - for the move and am hoping a guitarist with some computer skills would be willing to make an offer. I want someone who'll be in this for the fun of it and be willing to expand the site in new and awesome ways.
I'm not expecting this to sell for much; given that it doesn't make much. (about $1/day). If I don't get any offers I'll just continue to maintain the site as I always have and who knows maybe it'll get even better in the future.
Let me know if your interested. Please use the contact form to get in touch. Thanks
Elwood
Behind the Nut Playing

This is where you'll want to place your finger.
While watching the "Where the Light Is" John Mayer concert, I noticed something interesting that he was doing with his guitar. Mixed in among his usual playing was, he was playing above the nut on the guitar. This is actually a fairly easy trick and I’m rating this as ‘beginner’ level.
So, let’s do this. Of course, you can’t do this trick if you have a locking nut like on a Jackson, but if you have a Strat or another open-nut electric guitar - then you can do this, and it makes the entire string vibrate (while played open).
