....turned into Stupid PURCHASE of the day. Bought a $500 guitar for $319 w/free shipping and no tax. Who can turn that down, even if you can't play a single chord on it . Man, it's too bad those things don't come with one-finger chords like Arrangers. Maybe the next version will have that feature; I'll check with Donny.

Actually, I had a similar instrument just to have something in my studio for 'visiting' guitarists, but in a moment of weakness, gave it to my grandson (who is taking lessons). So when I saw a chance to replace it cheaply, I jumped on it. I'll have to get my old guitarist (or Russ - whoever shows up first ) to set it up and check it out for any problems.

Actually, DonM started me down this dark road (SDOTD) and he will not be forgiven for it .

Chas, many years ago, I came across a gizmo that fit over the neck and did allow you to play one finger chords. When you pressed down on the C button, it held down three stings that formed a C chord. Don't know if they are still available, though.

Here's one that I quickly located.



All the best,

Chas, whatever you do, stay away for www.meh.com

BTW, that's a nice looking guitar. I have four guitars and even played one the other day! I have forgotten most of what I used to know.
