Greetings from the US. I am new to this forum! I am wondering how to find the tablature for the Georgia Melody on the YouTube channel? I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I play claw hammer only but would love to learn how to play classic style. Thanks to the nice man! I wish I knew your name to thank you personally! David Gillespie

I don't see you as being critical, I see you as being pedantic. You tend to make statements that are uncompromising and authoritative. Your tone is always critical of anything that isn't historically accurate and/or alternative.

You are a great source of research, and you've become an "influencer" (whether you like it or not).

I tend to react because: (1.) I'm enjoying myself. (2.) I want people to recognize there are viable alternatives. (3.) I get $0.05 every time I mention Tablature or Tab. ;^)

I think that I might give the impression that I am being critical, at least it seems that people go in the defensive when this subject comes up.

I buy handmade strings from Northern Renaissance Instruments. Unfortunately, they have been unable to procure the silk for the 4th strings. I have spoken briefly with Sue, who owns NRI and she said she would speak to Mimmo, who owns Aquila to see if he can help.

Aquila do this set with a wound silk 4th string:

Other suppliers of gut banjo strings, use either gut or synthetic materials for the 4th strings.

I'll phone Sue this week and let you know what she says.
