RE: Open Mic Night Week 2 entry - Paul Hallman - Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes
@paulhallman Thank for braving the pain in the name of OpenMic Night to share this with us.
I have incredible weakness in my left hand and barre chords on an acoustic, (unless it's like an ovation with the action filed down even further) are damn near impossible for me. Well done. Your barre chords, especially over the course of an entire song, sound much better than mine. I couldn't tell you were in pain...maybe that's good but maybe it isn't. Lol
Thanks @jessamynorchard. I probably need to look into lowering the action on my acoustic. I'm just afraid to mess with it. I know very little about adjusting action on acoustics, but I'm pretty sure it's not as foolproof as adjusting an electric. I'm glad the pain didn't show. :-)
@paulhallman I always take my acoustics to a shop to have it filed. I'm really picky about it, and even on my Seagull before I got my Taylor gifted to me (I dont think I'm going to need to modify that dream), I was super picky about where I took it and made sure that everyone and their children knew that that Seagull was my literal child and I do not tolerate anyone abusing my children. However, sometimes the kid needs braces, or an action needs lowered. If you're worried, bring it in to a professional tech at a shop you trust and don't be afraid to explain in great length how important it is to you. lol it's always worked outstandingly for me that way.
