I’ll be attending this event in Pacific Grove, California this week. I’m excited to play guitar and to attend some workshops, as well as to talk.
Here is a brief outline of what I plan to talk about
Topics for Testing guitars as a player and a builder (or how guitars test me – my elevation to ecstasy and descent into madness)
- Bio of guitar and me
- Testing? As a player, as a builder
- What must a guitar do?
- How to approach a guitar
- What to assess subjectively
- What to measure.
- How to prepare
- What to play ?
- Intonation
- Action
- Strings
- Room
- Comparisons
Here is a link to the full outline
Hi Steve – This is Mark Achuff. It was very nice to get to know you, hear your talk, and play your instrument at the recent Carmel Guitar Society retreat at Asilomar. I was contacted recently by a member from our American Guitar Society (www.agsvc.org) who wants to build a website to showcase and sell his sheetmusic compositions. So I thought that an old acquaintance of mine – Jason Wehr – had a very interesting technique of showcasing music scores while he played the music. So I checked his site and low and behold, your name popped up as one who helped him get started in Blaine, WA. How about that for 6 degrees of separation – us CG folks all know each other! Cheers, Mark
