Hay, Shawn, I will stay in touch with you. When I get some cash flow going,
I might want to get one of those Ack, midi guitars. I would love to hear any
music you are doing with it.
Glad to have you in my universe. Midi guitar, is my best way to do midi
tracks, as I am not much of a pianist. So, would love to hear the music
your doing with it.
Doug. I will check the junk e mail box to see if your other e mail went
there, sometimes that's what happens with a new person.
Doug.

Hey Doug,
I emailed you off list, but wasn't sure if you got my message. I know how
spam filters can be...
I'm also a nylon player, who has some classical training. So I know where
you are coming from. I'm digging my Godin Nylon Multiac. With the
sensitivity set on the Roland at 5 to 7. Don't have all the trouble
triggering notes axidently when doing hammer ons and pull offs. It sure
makes doing piano parts easier...
Best,
Shawn Brock
