If you haven't seen John sing before, or rap for that matter, these are worth the price of admission just for that.
Seeing John Mayes sing for his supper accompanied by a Ukalele is a treat that only Paul Davis and I share.

I have the advanced voicing dvd, and I believe it took a good number of
guitars the length of time it will take me to achieve my specific goals. I'm
sure all of these would do the same.

For those of you who have seen the videos (or John M.), are they applicable to classical construction, specifically the 3 voicing dvd's and making necks 1 & 2? I'm sure they would be very beneficial when I make a steel string, however for now I am just concentrating on classical builds. I'm trying to decide on whether to buy the set or just the ones I know will apply to classical construction, and purchase the rest later when I do decide to build a SS.

Thanks!

John

Hi there... I never could figure out if "Next Friday" meant the next friday we encounter (which would be 12/8) or the Friday following THIS friday (which to me is 12/8) and would therefor be 12/15. I always get it wrong depending on who i talk to.

So... what date does this bid close please?
Thanks!

12/8 Rob, post the bid right here of course. Auctions don't usually last very long around here.

And welcome to the OLF, glad you've joined us.Rod True39058.9756828704
