Hurricane Sez :


Thanks Bob your  a gent on the links with the info . I knew if I missed something your post would nail it . I couldn't agree more with you on the fact that :

Ya gotta hav de goods acoutically first before ya get de gear 

When it comes to accomplishment there is no magic bullet to get you there .
 
You must pay your dues or you loose so be aware .
 
Work your collective kiesters off and maybe you will do it to it in  style , class and tone . 

Of course this is something all here have known .

And newbies find out soon after they hang around . And maybe with hard work get it down  . And come up playing beautiful sound .


Peace to all levels of accomplishment here in this forum .
