Gentle Persuasion

Playing later this week so time to change the strings on the guitar. For the last couple of years I have used Elixir 13/56 strings on my Takamine GD93 Dreadnought, they keep the tone quality and last a long time.

When it comes down to it what you realise is that you have fallen in love with a lump of wood and a few bits of metal, and it is a love that never dies.

My finger plane's working, gentle persuasion, I bend to the wood and I coax it to sing...
