GUITAR THERAPY |
Guitar TherapyWhen you play, the hurt goes awayIn 2005, with the assistance of the Reguin 2 Arts Council, I built a prototype of the Adaptive Modular Electric Guitar. It was then donated to the VA Twin Cities Hospital. This first edition was particularly successful in the service to persons with lower body trauma. Other designs and applications are pending. The Adaptive MEG will be demonstrated at the American Music Therapy
Association regional meeting in May, 2010. Dates, times and locations
will be announced here. |
Guitar Shop TipsSET-UPS
are probably the most common duties of the guitar repair shop.
New guitars are rarely sent with comfortable playing action--they
can all use a little
TLC to get to their optimum playability. Several factors help define a guitar‚s
playability: width, thickness and shape of the neck and fingerboard; height
of strings; the amount of relief, or negative curve, in the neck; string
gauge; nut adjustment and surface tension or drag of the neck finish and
strings. |
