For the quick fix solution;

Give 'em( each string) a firm yet not violent tug about 10 times, each string, retune, and repeat 2 or 3  additional cycles.

Regulating the temperaure & humidity factor into your guitar staying in tune as well.

Rude, self entitled, crotchety, angry the world people; Live and let live....... Find the things that makes you smile and avoid the opposite.

And- the catch phrase "It is what it is " is like fingernails screeching down chalkboard to my ears.....

EQ- the more bands the better, accomodates what you're working with (via P.A.)
Reverb- adds depth and slight echo, easy on this though, too much negates the EQ
Phase-adds tonal seperation and spacy grooviness
Compression- keeps the highs from cutting too high and lows from booming too low

I can't believe Neil Armstrong was stripped of all of his cycling awards....

'Remember it well. My Mom had made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas. I sat down in the living room, turned on the CBS evening news with anchorperson Dan Rather, he broke the story. Stevie Ray was a very special, excellent person/musician ! His legacy definitely lives on....

You're gonna be fine Zurf, can't keep a good man down !

Paint colored dots inside of the white spots and play on. You'll have a "one of a kind" guitar.

My 6 year old and I absolutely loved this movie ! He wore his Captain America mask and brought his shield (great for sharing popcorn). He asked me if we could stay and watch it again, and again, until it's time to go to sleep. We tried but the ushers busted us :C

The Hulk was the star of the show, in my opinion, mainly due to what he said and did to Thor (I won't give it away). A must see for all ages !

I learned to play guitar because each and everytime I heard Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, or Jimi Hendrix play, I got goose bumps all over and time stood still.

And by the way, I really like the story Zurf about your buddy ! :J

"Hard Headed Woman" by Elvis Presley

Bass Viking,
You gotta take it as a compliment, they heard you doin' your thing, they liked what they heard. Play the same stuff they heard you play and put a big ole tip jar in front of your humble/smiling face ! Call it your "show your love" bucket ! haha

And Russell,
Hi friend, hope all wonderful with you ! Regarding Steven Tyler's version of the National Anthem preceeding the Patriots/Ravens football match; I've heard better/heard much worse ( Rosanne Barr, Carl Lewis, Michael Bolton, etc). Other than line 6 ( he sang "there's bombs" instead of "the bombs",and a few squeeks on the highest/hardest notes to hit), I thought he did a pretty decent job. However, if he was still active with his "real" job as lead singer for Aerosmith instead of that "other" thing he's doing, I'm pretty sure reaching those high notes would've been easy schmeezy !!! haha

Peace and Guitars,

Copy and paste the Japanese in the first box and the English translation should appear in the lower box.

Overexposure from the media perhaps influenced this cowardly act. Who knows ?

Virginia Tech, and the surrounding communities, are filled with wonderful people who'd give ya' the shirt off of their back in times' of need.

This is tragic and sad indeed.
