Just curious has anybody played or bought one of the robotic guitars made by Gibson? For those who don't know these guitars are self tuning,using an auxillary control located on the volume knob. I have never had the opportunity to check one out and was curious as to how well they work.You're supposed to be able to do alternate tunings with these as well. Seems like a great idea although they carry a hefty price tag.

My son found a deal on an Epiphone SG G-300 on a local classified web site. After looking at the ad and seeing the price I decided that this would be an awesome gift for him for X-mas. He is currently playing an Epiphone Les Paul Special that he received for Christmas two years ago. Anyhow, I contacted the person who placed the ad and got directions to his house and checked out this sweet guitar. After inspecting it and playing it for a bit I got out the checkbook and cut him a check for $125.00 (he originally wanted $150 but came down as it needed new strings) I brought it home and as no one was here changed the strings and proceeded to jam a little. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention and he walked in on me.You should have seen the look on his face.  After some stammering and stuttering I told him that this was indeed his present and let him play a bit. The look of joy was quickly replaced with one of frustration when I informed him that he couldn't actually have it till X-mas morning.He did his best to convince me that he should have it now and that it would make his appearance in the school Christmas show that much more impressive. (He and some friends are doing instrumental versions of some Christmas carols) So softy that I am I let him have it with the stipulation that I didn't want to hear any whining Christmas morning when he didn't have a "big present" under the tree. Now if he just doesn't find the amp.

I remember seeing somebody looking for tabs for Australian bands here a while back. I knew I had run across a site but couldn't remember how to get to it (another bout of sometimers disease, sometimes I remember,sometimes I can't) Go to www.totaltabs.com  There you'll find rock,country,christian and aussie tabs. Enjoy

Do you remember the rush you first got when you knew that you had just nailed a difficult chord progression or lead run? Or the first time you played on stage and the crowd was wound up and partying like crazy and you knew you had them in the palm of your hand. I seem to have lost the spark that ignites that kind of flame. I don't know how many people out there that have lost the desire to play on a regular basis and were able to rekindle the flame. Let's hear your secrets. How do you keep your playing fresh and that flame burning bright?

Haven't had too many chances to post recently as the construction season is in full swing but I found this site and had to share it with any fellow Ovation owners or anybody that's interested.I had been doing some research on my Ovation to try and find the manufacturers date (I got it used in a trade for another guitar and was curious as to who got the better end of the deal) At www.ovationfanclub.com there is a ton of information on literally every Ovation made. The info includes mfg. date,place and original suggested retail price. They also have a forum and owner pictures. Take a look and see if you can find your Ovation. And to everybody, enjoy the rest of the summer and keep on pickin
