New Forum on this site
Posted in: Easy stuff for beginners,Guitar in general,Mark Knopfler gear,Misc,MK guitar style and licks,Recording,Understanding music,Vintage guitars by Ingo on March 01, 2010
As many of you might already have noticed, I recently added a forum to this site.
We have the comment function below each blog post which has been used to discuss everything that is related to the post subject, but many times completely new threads emerged within the comments which became easily off-topic in a way. For this reason – and to make it possible for readers to start a new thread any time – I added a proper forum. The forum plug-in I found for this purpose is really great and offers a lot of cool functions. Almost every feature you know of other forums is here, too (like directly embedding youtube videos or pictures, PM’ing other members, and so on.
You can get to the forum via the link under ‘Pages’ at the top of the left sidebar. And there is a list of the latest forum posts a bit below in the sidebar, you can also get to the forum by clicking on one of the list entries.
You need to register to post but don’t be afraid, you will not be pestered with many newsletters or such. This is mainly to avoid spammers.
So after the last few days of testing I officially announce the new forum with this post. I hope there will be many interesting discussions, looking forward to it
Hello,
is it free to join the forum?

Hello, I have many pictures of National Style O’s including the classic Dire Straights 14 fretter with chicken foot coverplate on my site. Nice site, thanks for putting all this info together.
