After nearly 30 years, I still can't sing, let alone sing and play. LOL

I don't sing well anyway, so I'm not even worried about it.

Sharpen a pencil narrow enough to fit into the high E nut slot, and run it back and forth through all the slots to free up any sticking so the strings can move back and forth through the slots.. Also, make sure the strings are well-stretched.
PRS and birds on the neck. I was intrigued as to the story behind it!
Interesting! Paul Reed Smith had the first guitar with bird-inlays, built for Peter Frampton in 1976. Some of the birds were tricky to get right, so Paul invited a few friends over to help him draw some of the more difficult birds. “The ones that took the most revisions and thought were the 15th, 17th and 21st fret birds. Still to this day, people refer to the 24-fret bird as a ‘flying turtle,’ (which I can't see). It’s really an owl on a stick.” Starting from the nut down the birds are: - Peregrine falcon - Marsh Hawk - Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Common Tern - Coopers Hawk - Kite - Sparrow Landing - Storm Petrel - Hawk Landing - Screech Owl On A Branch (24-fret models only) Apparently Paul and his mum used to listen too the birds, whilst laying on the bed and try to Identify the songbirds. Cheers all. and you Anne!

The peregrine falcon is my favorite bird, so I made a couple of inlaid pieces with my CNC machine last year.
Finally bought a bigger pedal board...
I built the 32"x14"(ish) board and used it pretty much 15 years on the nose, but I finally ran out of space when I got the Whammy pedal, which I use almost exclusively for the drop/capo features. The Captor X has a very impressive onboard stereo reverb, so instead of using the Cathedral reverb through the effects loop, I use it with the acoustic DI box when I'm either combining the mag pickups with the piezo in stereo or playing an actual acoustic through it. The Memory Man is the only thing going through the effects loop currently.

I've been playing since '97, but I didn't really start becoming a guitarist until I lost full use of my left middle finger in '17 and refused to quit.
