Hi David. I am a jerry rosa fan. Been seeing your comment on jerry's channel and then I find out that you are a Guitar player when I saw you with Jerry at Dickies BBQ. After that I found your you tube channel. I was one of two or three Guitar teachers in my home town of Clarksville Tenn. It was the height of British rock invasion and my guitar teacher asked me if I would take over his beginning students. Next thing I know he left and I was the guitar teacher At the music store. I had a music background with some piano and trumpet. I took music theory in college and definitely taught my students how to read and chord theory. I was in Vietnam in 1968 in the Air Force and stationed in Saigon at Ton Son Nuit air force base. I was an electronics repairman and I was on flight status in a security group where we used computerized radio direction finding to locate the Viet Cong troops. I loved my Air Force time. Jerry and I both worked for MA Bell. I was in Nashville TN and due to my electronics background I was in the inside plant technical side. After 27 years I went to look at Information Technology out side of Ma bell. It didnt work out as I got recruited by Bell Labs and I was back into telephone work. I like your You Channel. I send Jerry emails from time to time his channel led me to work on my 1947 Martin Herringbone reissue. I think nowdays Martin calls it the HD28, It is the most popular guitar from the custom shop. Mine has grover style tuning pegs (with a Martin name), Snowflake fret markers, A somewhat different neck and in the neck base it only says CUSTOM. I bought it in 1986 as a new acoustic. I now Live in Northern KY were my wife and I have our own animal rescue. Call me sometime.. 502-030-6156.
David, I love your tutorials. I see your comments on Rosa String Works, Jerry Rosa’s channel. I always enjoy your input and love your humor. I’m 71years old and played guitar quite a bit when I was in my 20’s. Then life and the military got in the way and I didn’t play at all until about a year ago. I still have my Epiphone Frontier that I bought back in the 70’s. It is still in great condition and I love it. I recently had it checked out by a luthier thinking it probably needed a neck reset. He said it didn’t need a reset but he did a proper setup which it never had. What a difference! Last Summer I decided I wanted another guitar so I started researching and being a Gibson fan started with Gibson. Realizing that my level of play did not support an expensive guitar. Have experience with Epiphone I started looking in that direction. I learned about Gibson Inspired Masterbuilt guitars built in Indonesia. So, I plugged the trigger and ordered IBG Masterbuilt Excellente that I love. Now I have 2 Epiphones that I can’t play along with a Michael Kelley Mandolin that I can’t play. I love talking guitars and being around people that can play and know what they are doing. Along the way I met Kenny & Amanda Smith and befriended and love them dearly. I can’t say we are super close friends but consider them both my friends, enough so that they call me by name when I see them at an event. I found you channel when you mention it on Jerry’s vlog. I’m now a fan and wish you much success and look forward to seeing more tutorials. By the way Thank You for your service my friend!!!
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, it meant a lot to me. I also have a couple of Epiphones, the Masterbilt DR-500MCE that I’m holding in this video, and an Epiphone Broadway which is hanging on the wall to my right. I love both of them! Good luck with your picking, and I’ll see you on Jerry’s VLOGS. God bless . . .
Love the hat!
