Cool Website - Lark In The Morning

For cheap (and not so cheap) instruments of all kinds (strummed, blown, hit etc.) from all over the world check out....

Lark In The Morning

This is where I got my Egyptian oud, for about $300.

It's a fun site to peruse. Many have sound examples so you can use it as a educational reference.

Recent Session - Emii - "Heart in a Box"

I used my $99 Squier Strat on the verses of this one...

Cool Tool - The "African" Guitar

Bought a used Squier Tele for $119 and turned it into an "African" guitar. Same tuning, just put a skinny string (.009-.012) in place of the fourth string.

Tuning - E, A, D (up octave), G, B, E

Just the D string is changed.

Made by the Oscar Schmidt Company originally. Played by Leadbelly and Charlie Patton. Doc Watson and Kurt Cobain started on Stellas.

Cheap Guitar God - $99 Squire Strat

I want to pick up an Epi LP too at some point to string up high-strung and leave it that way.
