Thats pretty cool..I've never seen anything quite like that.. Amazing what can be built with a little imagination..

Guitars?  I don't have no stinking guitars!

If you get really bored.. tune a guitar in open G (or whatever) and try and play some slide if you can.. Just a thought..  Keep  the faith brother, there's people pulling for you...

So what are you saying Roger?  Anything goes?

Whoa! I was thinking more like "Shaft, can you dig it?"  I have an unreasonable respect for Pink Floyd, and that may be my problem, but I've always thought of their music as well thought out and intelligent.  Musically, I also find it to be fairly complex. But I might be a simpleton in this regard.

Oy!  The six string banjo is just a guitar with a drum head attached.   The banjo is traditionally played in open G or open D tuning but there are many other tunings available, just like the guitar.  If I were to learn the banjo, I'd want to learn it in what might be considered the standard way of playing it.  Just my opinion though..

I started my life as a bass player, Currently, I play guitar, dobro (in E and G tuning) and some mandolin..  I really wish I played mandolin better. Yeah, I know, practice, practice, practice...I have a very brief introduction to banjo but I wish I knew more of that. I wish I could play slide in standard tuning on guitar.. That seems really hard to me for some reason.  I don't have a dulcimer but I want one and I want to be able to play it.   The point is.. Just in the world of fretted stringed instruments, there are so many options that the choices are almost staggering.  Lately, I've developed a fascination for more primitive stringed instruments.  I'm playing cigar box guitars now. These are 3 or 4 stringed instruments that are tuned in open tuning and played in any number of ways.  The cool thing about these is the lessons that one can learn when limited to 3 or 4 strings but still want to play whole songs.  These are fascinating instruments that form the core of modern rock and blues and really need to be explored further.

Dear Penthouse forums,
I have a relationship with a Strat that goes back to 1986.  She makes me buy her new pickups and pickguards every 10 years or so.  She makes me feel sleezy but she feels so good when I hold her..

Really though, some things in our lives make deep impressions.  Some of these relationships with inanimate objects seem silly to some people,  but those of us that had these types of relationships have, in some small way, learned something from them.  Or its the tequila again..  In any case, its less dangerous than some of things you could get involved with.  Just don't try to marry your guitar.. That's only legal in Oregon and New Hampshire.

Wow Butch.. Sorry to here about that..The good news is that surgeons are great with those kinds of injuries these days.. Prayers for you and yours.

I'm not into the "showroom new" look either.  That nickel is gonna get dull where ever you touch it.  I've got spots on mine that Never-Dull won't touch.  I haven't tried the brasso but I'm sure that would take care of it.. I like the "played in" look.  Besides, it doesn't affect the sound at all.  Maybe if I owned something like a White Falcon, I'd want to keep it looking new. But I consider the wear on my guitars as a badge of honor. Maybe that's silly but that's just me.

I agree with Greatbigdave on this one.  Fingerstyle will require you to add that /note. AND, you'll like it.  By the way Dave, how big is Great Big?

Oh yeah, There was a question with this post... "Tangled Up in Blue"
