Joe, I think it might violate forum rules for me to post such links, but you won't have any trouble finding her music. Just use her full name on YouTube, or google her full name: Denise Jordan Finley. Her website is her name, one long word. Or even google my name as one word and look at my discography tab. My website is also in my profile (all the songs on my jazz CD were composed in BIAB).
I don't play out much anymore, just a few concerts each year, but I'm very proud of my work on Denise's CDs. I use BIAB to enter each of her songs and create the instrumental arrangement I will play in the studio.

Look closer. She uses a variety of capos including different cuts. She often reaches behind the capo to play a bass note.

Matt,
Denise is excellent. In all regards. Cool guitar, beautiful vocals, beautiful writing.
I wish that you would open a different thread to "introduce" her to us properly, because I would love to hear more about how she (or you guys) record/prepare/produce her music. The vocals are so nicely recorded... I'd like to hear details about how that is done (home? studio? what mics? processors?)...
... so that the discussion does not hi-jack this thread any further...
or be lost here to those who may not be following this...

Thank you all so much!
Sorry I didn't catch the joke - I don't speak guitar (grin).
I would be uncomfortable starting such a thread because although I am thoroughly entrenched in BIAB and computer recording, Denise is not. She composes, performs and records the old-fashioned way. But as far as using a graphite guitar (the original thread subject), she's cutting edge and an evangelist for it, primarily because of its hospitality to many alternate tunings.

Winding strings.....
When installing new ones, wrap twice around the peg, be sure the winding starts close to the guitar but below the string hole in the peg.... after 2 complete wraps, push the wraps down and the string gores through the peg hole with the wraps under it.
Wind the peg in the correct direction to tighten to pitch. Trim the flying end, leave about 1/4" or so.
That's the method I use and it works flawlessly and holds tune.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Pandora has very little folk. She is all over YouTube though. Look for her by her full name, Denise Jordan Finley. she sings and plays beautifully! and I really like her style of music... the exchange between the chords and melody is downright hypnotic! Does she make her videos? They're pretty spiffy too!
