I'm trying here because i've searched alot on google but could't find a "real answer".
I'm pretty sure that Andy knows it and of course someone else on this forum can help me :)

I have a Cort Earth 100F, i bought it 6 7 years ago and i've learned playing the guitar on my own.
Last years i started watching on youtube, players as Andy, or Antoine Dufour or Justin Kings and i loved acoustic guitar tapping.
I started watching again and again drifting and other songs etc and now i think i'm quite able to play Drifting in the right way.
so where is the problem? :)

Ok the problem is tapping. In drifting for exemple ther's that 11fret 3rd string tap very often and here is my question :

Is my guitar that is crappy//action problem or whatever else or is my fault?
When i tap that fret, i hear TWO sounds, not only one note.
One is the right and the other is a lot "higher"
If i tap on my guitar i have no problem till i reach 6+ fret..but from there wherever i tap i always hear TWO sounds and not only one.
If i stop with the left hand the string on the top (near the bridge) the problem is fixed and i dont heart that sound.
What i want to know is;do i have to lower action or use a particular setup or it's just me making some mistakes while tapping?

Please help me and sorry for my bad english :)

Why are you/is he flicking his pinky when he slaps with his thumb? Is there a practical reason for this or just a habit? I can't hear the pinky (or maybe I'm just not noticing it?) so what's the story? Is it supposed to be kind of like a flamenco guapa or whatever those are called? Ties percussive stuff together? I don't get it. It's hard to do without messing up my finger placement of my R hand...

looks kinda cool in any case.

thanks for any insight,

Greetings from sunny Seattle. I can't wait to see you at the Triple Door in February!

I was wondering if you could spend a few minutes trying out a very special guitar sometime before or after the show. (or some other time)

It's a size 5 parlor with Pernambuco back and sides and a Redwood top from Craig and Alicia Carter's wood stash. 21.5" scale length tuned up a 3rd to G. I built it from scratch between the winter of 2008 and summer of 2010 under the watchful eye of my mentor and master builder, Rick Davis, of Running Dog Guitars. I would really like your opinion of the sound of Pernambuco vs. the more typical Rosewood guitars you have played.

Anyways, let me know and I'll bring it along with me - or not. Just glad to be seeing you in person.

-Charles

This is my take on a solo guitar version of Raihanna Estrada's song "Left With Nothin". Started off by me experimenting in some different open tunings, and this is what I ended up with! Let me know if you can guess what the tuning is.. haha.

Also, my acoustic EP "New Day" is now available on CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, etc. If you like any of my music or playing PLEASE go and "like" my facebook page at facebook.com/ericbickerstaffemusic or subscribe to my youtube channel at youtube.com/EBicks for free music and giveaways!

I figured this would be a good place to post this. Below is a cover of Ebon Coast that I played on a baritone guitar as well as an original song of mine. I am a huge Andy McKee fan and I have been working on this cover for some time. I'd love to know what you think! Here is a link to my channel:

Got another agonising dilemma- I've dicovered a Harp Guitar company called Holloway Harp Guitars, which sell (comparitively) cheap harp guitars. New, these are still out of my price range as a 16 year old, but i found this link where they're selling prototypes with minor cosmetic defects, for a mere $700, with a case! This is unbelievable for a harp guitar, but i can't find any proper reviews of these things, apart from the fact that stephen bennet is pleased with them, and I'm really looking for an opinion on whether anyone thinks I should go for this, or not. Has anyone played one of these, or does anyone have anything to say about buying prototype models? Any kind of advice here would be much appreciated- the only thing I'm sure of at the moment is that I want a harp guitar sometime in the next decade, and this looks like it could be the best deal imaginable for the small disadvantage of a small scratch or 2, or worst case, a structurally unsound wreck, with £100 of import tax and irritable parents! :) Here is the link:
