It's OK.  You're more than welcome to share your expertise but we've taken a really hard line on commercial posts.  What happens is we get a bunch of brand new accounts that log in and say "I agree!" and then provide a link to their eBay purse store or something like that.  That tends to relax a bit as people become "regulars" though, and we know they aren't just here trying to raise money, but are instead genuinely sharing their work.

I don't think your intent is as a scammer, though, and I am very interested in your Cakewalk expertise as the DAW discussion here seems to be centered around those that use Audacity (almost everyone) and those that use Reaper (me.)     What does your current setup look like?   There is a lot of interest in low cost home recording setups here, so that kind of input is always welcome.

New meat in the sausage is always good!

If I was that dude, I'd have been dressed like Fat Elvis under the space suit.  Just for the lolz.

The camera shots I'm seeing on the internet are spectacular, though.

Keep the guitar out of it's case when you're at home, next to wherever it is you spend most of your time.   If that's in your room, get a guitar stand and keep it in your room.

The biggest hurdle to get over is one of continual practice.   Students who's only playing time is when they are at lessons don't get any better.   If your guitar is in it's case, then practice at home is a chore.  You have to pull it out of the case.  You have to put it back in the case.   Do away with all of that and keep the guitar handy for when you're sitting there watching TV or staring at the wall.  Then it's easy to get 15 minutes of noodling in.

The opening to "It Might Get Loud" features Jack White (of The White Stripes and Raconteurs) building one of these on his porch.

It's worth it to hear him play the thing when he's done.

I have yet to hear a suitable refutation on my assertions re Kafka's Metamorphosis.  I can only assume that you concede my point!

Learn on the acoustic.   What you will do with the electric is turn the gain up real high (not that there's anything wrong with that) and cover up any mistakes or misfrets you make.  You will spend all your time futzing with tone and stomp boxes rather than learning to play the instrument.   The acoustic will expose all of that, making you a better player.

Switching to the electric at that point is easy.  Going the other way isn't as easy.

I think I found your problem...   

That is insane!  And cool!

I don't think he'll be doing 600+ when he pulls the rip cord, though.   He will most likely hit those speeds way up high in the atmosphere, and slow down as the air around him thickens.  I think terminal velocity of a skydiver at sea level is something like 120MPH.

On the final play in the end zone, the Packers are right.   On the bogus pass interference at the beginning of the 4th quarter, the Seahawks are right.  Had the bogus PI call not happened, the Hail Mary at the end of the game wouldn't have happened, either.

One thing leads to another.

In the end, I think we will all agree that the replacement refs are an embarrassment and that they denied these two teams the chance to settle it on the field like they should have.

I'm gonna disagree with some of your assessment.

The final play of the game was a travesty for certain, but the touchdown the Packers scored came off a bogus PI call (the defender has as much right to the ball as the wide out) and they scored a field goal off of a blown spot challenge (the yellow line is not definitive, refs).

Bottom line is that the Sadhawks should have never had to throw that Hail Mary, as they should have had a 9 point lead.

And as far as the Packers dominating the second half...  The three Green Bay wideouts had a combined 58 yards receiving the entire game, and they had two scoring drives kept alive by bad calls.

There was bad officiating all over, but the Seahawks put a beatdown on the Pack, and the final result was the right one.

If you're in doubt, I'd go with "Don't use it."  If it ends up being copyrighted, the copy  holder has to defend his right or he loses it.  Even if he really thinks "Oh that's just some guy busking in Oahu, no big deal"  his lawyer is going to send you a nastygram.
