What other Internet forums do you participate in? When I first started poking around online and found Weenie Campbell, I also found the Acoustic Guitar Form (AGF). I hung around for a few months, but it seemed to be mostly a meeting place for people with Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) and I was trying to find a way to STOP thinking of new/old instruments to buy. So there went that. I build banjos, so I am on the Banjo Hangout. But that's about it - Weenie Cambell and the Banjo Hangout. What about the rest of you?
hello friend, i find i don't actually "contribute" all that often, (i'm sure it's less than 20 posts) but the telecaster forum is a great resource. a lot of knowledge there on topics like 50's era blues, rockabilly, western swing & country. your "mostly a meeting place for people with Guitar Acquisition Syndrome", would definitely apply, though! most forums seem to be filled with people more interested in reading about playing music, than actually playing music. & while i was researching how to rewire a les paul, i was one of those folks too. but it (the guitar) came out well, & i have been using my free time a bit more productively since http://www.tdpri.com/
hey blue, how is the little brother blues forum? i have been meaning to purchase a lesson of his (i know he's a good player) & i know that would give me access to the forum. & i find his site to have some informative stuff on it as is. & for what it's worth, i've noticed his youtube page has more or less been emptied. i take it the forum is still up & running though? thanks, chris
Sorry I missed this msg when you posted... LB's site is great!! a very supportive and welcoming group. It is quite a small site so don't expect 50 new threads a day but the ones that there are can be quite informative. It has been going through its summer doldrums of late but is bound to start picking up as the cold weather sets in.

Like me, several other Weenies hang around the Larriv?e Guitars Forum. I also check into Ukulele Underground at times.
However, Weenie Campbell is my main haunt.
I go to Ukulele Underground too, I don't contribute much, just use it to find novel material. I also frequent The Big Road Blues forum and Ukulele Cosmos, which I prefer over the Ukulele Underground forum - better songs. Now that I've got used to the Weenie "no tabs" ethos, I find it's great to be challenged to improve my playing & expand my repertoire. Not sure if that's happened to any great extent yet, but I'm working on it.
