Growing up in Miami during the 60's was a lot of fun with
the beachs and the good weather, there was a small town
atmosphere. I didn't realize then what a hot bed of music I
was living in. Battle of The Bands every weekend at the
Concord Shopping Center, your basic strip mall. You could hear
the music on my front porch. Mostly Surf and insrumental
tunes, matching shirts, guitars and blond Fender piggy back
amps...the typical garage band fair , but some of my favorites
to this day!

When I first learned of this guitar, it was known among
cognoscenti as the State of Ohio guitar. I once wrote and
essay in which I dubbed it The Ugliest Guitar In The
World. All of us had a point. The real name, however,
is the Kay Solo King K4102, and it dates to that heady period
just before guitars really took off in 1960. Clearly somebody
was hung over at Kay that day! When I got a chance to actually
have one, how could I pass it up?

Just because the guitar has six strings doesn't mean you
have to constantly go looking for six-note chords, especially
if you are playing in a combo of some sort. Remember, barre
chords use repeat notes to make up the full six strings.
Sometimes its better to use bits and pieces of a chord than
the full version. It's easier to insert as a part, and more
compact-sounding in a band situation.

While related, keeping a guitar in tune and having a guitar
play in tune up and down the neck are two different issues. If
your guitar stays in tune but the chords sound out of tune as
you go further up the neck and closer to the body, this is the
article for you. Having your guitar play in tune up and down
the neck is generally referred to as intonation. Let me
start off by saying that No Guitar Will Play Perfectly In Tune
EVER. The tempered system of tuning upon which guitar fret
placement relies on is imperfect, but it's the best we can do.
The system was designed by J.S. Bach in 1717 and first
demonstrated on his work The Well Tempered Clavier.
