LaKota Leathers 3" guitar strap ~ they're great; I have several. I've purchased them both through a retailer and direct from the Lakota Leathers site.

There are several things that could be causing your feedback. The short answer is that you have to experiment. Is the feedback coming from your microphone or the guitar? It'll be one of the two (or both). If you have a vocal mic try running it through the mixer and just using the amp for the guitar. For the amp itself, you could try the line out on the amp and make sure the mixer is set for a line input (rather than mic the amp). I would generally mic the amp in a larger venue with a sound engineer - that type of situation - not with a PA. The amp offers you options for a line out both with and without the EQ - so I would try to EQ it from the amp (leave the board flat) or from the board (line out with no EQ) but not both. The big picture is that you effectively have two mixers - one on the amp and one on the board - and you may not need both. With microphones, where you place them in relation to the speakers matters as well as their levels - lower levels and having the mic below / behind the speakers could help. It's not likely that you need your amp for volume, might be useful as a monitor, but generally you might keep the volume lower on the amp or just run directly into the board. You might use use outboard effects (like a chorus pedal) for your guitar and skip the amp - run straight into the mixer. If the mixer has reverb, a lot of people would just run their vocals / guitar into the mixer if they were having issues (or if the amp was not needed for volume / to serve as a two channel mixer itself). With guitar, feedback is typically from the lows / low mids so you could EQ some of that out, starting with the 'low' EQ knob on he Taylor. The onboard EQ on the Taylor should be helpful. Those are a bunch of random thoughts / suggestions. The short answer is to experiment. Good luck!

Much appreciated ~ thanks for watching!

Don't have a D35. I'm guessing you'd want to tame the bass and low mids though. Good luck!

You're welcome 😀 thanks for watching

Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for listening!

Much appreciated... though the arrangement is just a slight modification on Martin Simpson's excellent rendition. :-)

Martin tabbed out bits of the songs which were included as an insert to the vinyl. I think I bought an excellent condition vinyl with the 8 or 12 page tab insert for about $4 at a record store years back. Good find - great album. I didn't find all of the tab usable, but the tab for this song was enough to work with. The main thing I did differently was use a slightly different tuning from the original Drop D. And I didn't play it on a Baritone like Martin did, but I think it's still plenty sonorous on a regular scale length guitar. Lots of ways to approach this one. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply; it’s very helpful. Also, I appreciate your skilled and soulful guitar playing/voice!

Much appreciated, @arthurl2045 🙏 Mahalo for listening!

Very welcome - thanks for watching!

@yongski5488 - my thoughts for these two: TLM102 - smooth highs, warm and full sounding, more body to notes. Good for Taylor guitars, especially rosewood/spruce. Popular as a voiceover and vocal mic (probably for the 'smooth / full' sound). Edwina - a little brighter high end & tighter bass. Good off-axis rejection if noisier surroundings and/or for live use. Would be good for Martin guitars, mic 'looks cool', often used to single mic acoustic + vocal groups / 'string bands' on a stage (i.e. Bluegrass / Americana groups). Construction seems pretty rugged. Both great mics. Hope this helps - good luck!

Gabby’s singing and guitar playing were truly magical ~ Sending healing vibes ~

Happy New Year to you as well - thanks for listening!

Much appreciated - Mahalo again for listening!

Very welcome - I think so too 😀

Très bienvenu ~ Merci pour l'écoute

Mahalo, Nate!

Much appreciated, John 🙏

No, the Polytune has the feature to tune all 6 strings at once. The Unitune does not have that feature but otherwise would be the same. (I believe that's the one difference between these two similar models.) Hope that helps. Both great options for tuners btw.

​@@BlueSkyGuitar2Thank you very much for your reply. It helps me in choosing the right one to buy. Best regards

~ Très apprécié 🙏 ~ merci d'avoir écouté, Robert!

For something practical to carry around, this is about as large of an amp as you want. If you need more volume, I would plug into a PA rather than buy a larger amp. I think that's the best way to answer the question. This could work for a smaller & quieter pub, but for a larger & louder pub I'm thinking you'll need to use the DI out to a PA. Another thought - I played an outdoor restaurant and used this + the DI to a powered speaker on a stand (no mixer board). So you may not need a full PA.

Do you have a Fender guitar with a vintage style tremolo? If so, it might work for you, since that's what it did for me. Good luck!

Much appreciated 🙏

Very welcome 🙏

Mahalo 🙏 (Also, that would make a great song title!)

No particular song - that was some improvisation in Taro Patch. I'm sure parts of it are probably similar to 100 different slack key songs... on my two channels I do cover a number of specific slack key songs however. Mahalo for listening ~

Generally, the torrefied top + non-torrefied back & sides would sound a little drier / more aged in "as a whole" than a guitar without a torrefied top. I don't believe it would make a significant structural difference. Overall, I wouldn't put too much weight on torrefied vs not since it'll average out in the end - rather I'd look at the guitar size, woods used (regardless of if the top is torrefied), and construction (bracing, 12 fret vs 14 fret, etc.) as more significant things to consider. Put another way, if you like the way a guitar sounds and plays that's your answer. Hope this helps - thanks for watching!

@@BlueSkyGuitar2 Yes- i was just meaning structurally- if it would lead to problems later. Seems you'd be paying up for the sound you'd get eventually anyway. I'd seen discussions regarding wood tops on laminate potetntentially having issues later.

Generally, laminate back/sides will still have a solid top. It will usually say in the product description. I don't think torrefied / not would make a difference structurally.

Much appreciated 🙏 thank you for listening!

Much appreciated - yes, that gets me thinking about ideas for shorts. It's probably something I'll get around to.

Well, a little more appreciated now - thanks for listening! 😀
