I do believe everybody noticed that scrunchie resting on the guitar neck in Guthrie's videos - the one he uses to mute his strings with, right?
Well, accidentally, I ran into this interesting product called Gruvgear Fretwraps - it's a more evolved scrunchie actually Here's a link to it: http://www.gruvgear.com/fretwraps Has anybody used such a thing, or scrunchies? I guess these are more appropriate for fusion lead players, as I for one can't go without having open strings |

They do look useful but like you, I also couldn't sacrifice my open string sustain

A friend of mine uses a cheap velcro strap at the nut, instead of the neck, to kill overtones.

I still see a big advantage of the scrunchie because you can pull it over the strings and off at will, without having to keep it on the first fret all the time

So, Ben, if I don't have long hair anymore, am I not eligible for being a rockstar?

MAB string dampener http://www.angelo.com/html/the_mab_string_dampener.html Hmmmmm, always wondered about this thingie - I noticed it in Bucharest, when MAB came to perform but at that point I forgot to ask him to let me look at it (the dude resembles the attitude of a charming granny when he talks to you) |

I'm sure the branded ones are really useful but I'm pretty happy using ordinary hair tie.
Once I stepped into a girl's shop and ask for hair tie with different colors. The female attendant ask if it was for my wife or daughter or girlfriend, I said it's for me (I was shaved bald at that time). She said "Sir you do realize you're bald right?". I said "Of course I'm bald! It's for my guitar". The attendant stared at me for five seconds and being a non guitar player she gave me a really long "riiiiiiiiiiiiiight, for the guitaaaaaaar. greeeeeaaaaaaat. Very good sir." Golden scrunchies! Sounds like a cereal commercial! They sound really delicious too! -------------------- https://soundcloud.com/fayeedtan/el-nino-original-version
