I've never had any tuning issues with my 325C58. It holds tune perfectly. I use D'Addario Chrome .12's. Frankly, I'm not thrilled with the tone using my Roland JC-55, but I figure that's part & parcel of having a "vintage" guitar.

That's the incredible Jake Shimabukuru! Try this link:

Or, just go to the m90.org main site and scan the left margin for "ukulele." It's listed under Top 5 Videos.

Thanks guys - yeah, I play it the same way in G. For some reason, my son has to play it off tabulature. I tried to show him the basics of the bass line, but he wanted the EXACT notes. Looks like I'm going to have to sit down and figure this one out, note for note.

I agree, this is could pass for ...

Anyone remember the old (1969) song, "Reflections" or "Reflections of My Life" by Marmalade? I actually managed to interest my bass playing teenaged son in this song. We want to play it together for open mic, but we're not sure of the bass tabulature. We found a version of the bass tab on the 'net ...

WOW! Ordered Monday afternoon, received two beauteous shirts Saturday. Nice service and fabulous design - THANKS PAUL!

I've heard several recommendations for these, although I've never owned one:

Speaking of P-38's... There's an amazing story about a squadron of brand new P-38's that was flying from the US to England during WWII. Due to weather, the squadron landed all of the planes on Greenland --- with varying results.

Fast forward almost 50 years later and some industrious folks ...

I like the PBY scene in the opening of South Pacific, but my favorite airplane is this:

Hi Mark,

You would enjoy working here at SoCal Approach. We cover a wide range of territory with a diverse array of airports and aircraft; such as Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach and Orange County. Then throw in dozens of smaller airports, some with control towers, some not. Sprinkle in ...

Hi Peter. The answer to that question is, it depends. Here's what Meguiars says:

"Meguiar's offers two types of polishes, Cleaner Polishes and Pure Polishes. Cleaner Polishes are for removing very light or fine defects while restoring a crystal clear, smooth high gloss surface. Pure polishes are ...

I certainly don't have Paul's level of knowledge on this subject; however, that won't deter me from offering a few remarks. For example, I know that Bob Taylor, of Taylor Guitars recommends Turtle Wax, but I'm not sure which particular Turtle wax he uses on his production guitars.

I also know ...

You guys are killing me! I've been debating which is my favorite, Jet Glo or Montezuma Brown, for months now. I really need a 381, but I haven't figured out the justification part for Mrs. Spousal Unit (oh, I'm dead if she reads this!).

In fact, after my lovely wife (this will help), the 381 is ...

Hey Mike, before you bite into that toast, check the mold for saintly images. Might turn your financial situation completely around.

Andy - you hit the nail on the head in your last paragraph. I'd love to play a few guitars there, but the entire layout is not conducive to browsing & playing. Even trying to buy strings is an ordeal as you have to squeeze into the corner and try to find what they have.

If you never tried it, you ...

Well, if my memory is still alive, I believe that was the first album I ever bought, as well. I think my second album was Bobby Vee's 15 Greatest Hits.
