One strap "button" Guitar

 It's good to play the guitar sitting and standing up so to get used with the different positions. To play a guitar standing up, we'll definitely need a guitar strap. 

For guitars with two strap buttons, it shouldn't be a problem to attach the strap easily. Problem here is the guitar with only one button on the butt, none on the front side. And this is usually seen on acoustic guitars. 

So u'll need a string (shoe string is the most common but any strings that are thin enough to fit through will work well) to tie it on the headstock, and it's very important to tie it properly so that your guitar will not smash on the floor while you're playing with it. 

Let see, I have a Ernie Ball strap here, and a shoe string.

There's two ways to tie the string on the keyhole of the strap. I'll show both of them.


#1

Run both ends of the string though the keyhole of ur guitar strap, tug on it.

This is simple but u may ruin the leather of the strap after a long period, so the 2nd way may be better.

#2

                             

 Run one end of the string through the keyhole, and tie a knot close to the keyhole.
Hmm..Much better..

Next slip the shoe string under the guitar strings above the headstock, NOT on the neck please...ur guitar will buzz or even be muted. 

While the other end of the string behind the headstock, tie a double knot on the end.

Final step.. stuck the keyhole of the other end on the butt. DONE!!! 

Don't recommend to drill hole on guitar jz to fit another button, imagine how will u act if mistakes happen..LOL..                  

by da way, permanently modify ur guitar may jz cause the value to drop, so i don't see the point to take the risk.

music is spiritual...or not??

We used to hear that the best, most beautiful and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music. Music is said to be the God’s best gift to human. However, making music into business has caused us to forget the real meaning of music.

"Music is spiritual. The music business is not." said by Van Morrison, the Grammy Award-winning Northern Irish singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist.

Some people look into music as their inspiration but some of them look into it for business purposes.

But..

making business music is the only way to get music spread to worldwide..without the commercial music, pure inspired spiritual music will not be easily accepted by the public..Hence it becomes a dead end for spiritual music.

Jazz..

If it's pure jazz, there's only professionals will love it..In order to bring it to the public..we have to commercialize it..and it becomes pop jazz..

i cant believe i did tat..which mean this album is nice and it able to attract u..

i dun realli like jazz and it's the 1st time i go into it deeply..

i guess i've fell into jazz..

this album brings a strong lonely feel..it depicts the feeling and thought of a lonely person in a buzy city..it's kinda personal..the lyrics and melodies are precisely applied to describe those feelings...

try to imagine urself living in a condo alone..looking through the window at night..wat u can see is a buzy city which no one cares about the wat u feels..

that's the feeling..

hmm...no much i can describe about it..it's hard to describe it by word..

u gotta listen to it by ur own..

thx to wilson for recommend it to me..

and now i strongly recommend this album to all of u
