I couldn't agree more. The most irrating thing for me is sucessful bands selling their music to be used in commercials. The Rolling Stones????? Do they need money???? How much is enough? I can understand a struggling artist selling their music but popular acts should be ashamed of themselves. It just seems greedy to me...that's all. I can understand the band that has to eat but the big name acts just end up looking greedy and pathetic.

Darn, I forgot about Willie Nelson's version of Georgia...well done sir. that's a great one.

Go Bruins!!!!!!! B's take it in 6. Topdown I do like your Canes but I'm a life long Bostonian. I'll send you some beers to drown your sorrow...no bet necessary.

Add me into the "Guitar Hero is stifling would be musicians" group as well. The negatives outweigh the positives by far. For everyone kid that gets inspired to take up "real" guitar because of it 1,000 never pick it up at all. After playing GH real guitar seems like way too much effort

I'm in  my 40's and I think texting is great. I consider it a less intrusive way to contact someone (alot like email is). I hope people use it in this manner. When I need to tell someone something but it's not critical email or text is my preference. As far as the younger "texting maniacs" a few years back they were just babbling on the cell anyhow. These types will always be "that way". Don't blame texting (or email for that matter). It's great technology. If it saves me from being on the phone and allows me to check it when it's convenient, then it's for me.

I agree with Doug Smith. While the software and PC/Mac machine is important the most critical part is the interface. Software can be confusing or frustrating but usually it can be overcome and some machines lack the "horsepower" but, for me, a bad (or no) input interface device can not be easily overcome

Like you say Doc, it can go either way. Van Halen went south for sure but Pink Floyd maintained after Waters (and Barrett for that matter). I'll say I liked the band best with Waters in it but they were no slouches after he left. Another one of my favorites was Little Feat and I just think when Lowell George left (OK died...wasn't really his choice) it was never the same.

YES!!!! RIGHT ON!!!!!

In the US, IMO:
1. Football
2. Baseball
3. Basketball
4. Hockey

I second that!!!! Its perverse, amusing and disgusting. The only problem I can see is most folks try to avoid seeing, hearing or possessing a Babbling Sphincter

If you don't love picking it up and it doesn't give you pleasure....maybe it's not for you. Life's too short to waste time. Playing for me has never been a chore and the pleasure has always outweighed the frustration and pain. Most folks here are the same way. thinking back to when I first started, the progress you make in the first year is VERY satisfying. You will not progress this quickly as time goes on. believe it or not this is the best, most fun time in your guitar playing journey.

I recently bought a Dean Markley Pro Mag and was a little dissappointed. It makes my 12 string Alvarez sound a little like a banjo. I've tried different positions in the sound hole and it just doesn't capture the lows the way I had hoped. It is the single coil version, perhaps the humbucker version would be better.
