Noted guitar builder and repair specialist Marty Lanham of The Nashville Guitar Company gives an inside look at the flattop, steel string guitar. Learn how the guitar creates its sound, and what each component contributes to the tone - plus what you need to know about common repair and maintenace of your guitar. 2 hour DVD.

Millions of people own acoustic guitars, but not many know much about how they generate tone, how they are built and maintained, or how they can be adjusted to improve tone, responsiveness or playability. Many guitarists have questions about proper care - or whether and when their instrument needs a visit to the repair shop - but don’t have access to skilled luthiers to ask such questions.

Marty Lanham is Nashville’s “go to guy” when delicate repair or restoration is needed on fine acoustic guitars. Prominent guitarists in country and bluegrass music rely on Marty for regular maintenance, and many use his handmade guitars on stage and in the studio. On this DVD, Marty shares his many years of experience as a luthier to help you get to know, and understand the acoustic guitar.

I decided to open my own karaoke-bar in YouTube in order to give all you fervent karaoke-lovers a chance to practice the most frequently offered songs with me together. And sneer all you want, you karaoke-haters! Your sneering only shows, that you have not visited the „right” karaoke-bar yet.
Just to make that clear: I’m NOT talking about karaoke-BOXES. Those are created for couples in need of some „privacy” for … you know what ;-). Or for some „old school frieds” or „work-buddies” (”salary-men” in Japan) who can go there after work for an hour or so of “shoulder-rubbing intimacy” before they have to return to the family (the neon-light and hair-curlers and screaming children). (They probably tell their wives, they had to work overtime …)
I’m talking BIG karaoke bars, for at least 20 people, with a charming hostess (in Japan: „mama-san”), who tries to match you up with another lonely customer. Most of the time, these bars are arranged around her (and her assistants), though sometimes they have a little stage for the vocalists and sometimes even a little dance-floor. Once in Berlin, while I was singing a Cole-Porter song, several couples spontaneously got up and started dancing „cheek-to-cheek”. That really made me feel like a professional! My old friend Ginchan recorded me and made the illustrations (in form of disc-covers, singing with my imagined partners) for this web-site. But don’t be fooled: I sing only songs, that have been in the „public domain” for a long time and with music of paid-for karaoke-disks (often various versions). And, of course, I am a complete amateur (never had a singing-lesson in my life; „professionals” would consider it to be beneath their dignity to sing in a karaoke bar and do not charge money for my performances — I rather want to „educate” you (urgh) - and therefore claim the right of „fair use”. Ignore my German accent, please!
Now let’s start! (The lyrics you find in the internet.)
