TF just start chromatically walking up the neck string for string. 1234 slide to 5 w/ index and 678 and so on.then go back to first position and go 6 to 1 and back frets 1-4. I do this sometimes when I dont feel like playing and know I need to.

Re: Unlearning a Bad Habit (11 replies, posted in Music theory)
I use all four, but the primary are the first 3. Pinky for the Chuck Berry type stuff and some pull offs but for bending its the 3rd finger, pinky hits the string under the bend for the blues riff. sometimes I use it for my root 5 chords instead of my 3rd finger.

IT WAS TOTALLY UNPLANNED! its taken a very long time to get this deal and guitar on my wall.
Stopped into the music store to buy Cory some Drum sticks and Look at the 2x12 Bugera cabinet again (thanks TF for making me think about that thing AGAIN lolol) and it seems I have the luck of always going in the week after they have the "Garage Sale" weekend. That was how I got my Tak at such a good deal. This Korean knock-off is incredible. Gold hardware Beautiful binding, Arch top Flame Maple Cherry Sunburst. I have wanted a ACE guitar since I bought my first KISS record! The action is great and the inlays are pretty unique. Best of all the cost is only 250! I cant believe that for a new guitar of this quality!
Hanging by ACE as it should be.
I am officially running out of wall space! And no, The Kiss Poster stays up! LOL But it may trade places with Marilyn. she can be to Betty's left and then the banjo my move further left also.

Re: Me and the Kid (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Thanks Peatle. it took a few min to get the groove. I have another take that's a bit slower and a little sloppy so I used this. I also had some WA WA on it trying to blend the ARS with some funk, but it didn't really flow very well.

Re: New Amp Day (18 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
That still is kinda bulky, but the monitor set up is nice.till you want to mic it. Although that comment is a SWAG (If you dont know the acronym, ill PM you lolol)
I am still a fan of the 4 x 6 just cause I like the idea of the mini stack top cab. What I meant as a angled cab was more in line with a top Marshall "A cab" type look. Because you always have the option of building a flat faced bottom to match . Although 2 flats look coolieo too! And with your Logo it will be the bees knees!
Still with a 12", you have the option of the stack that way also(Yep like Marshall once again) all up to you though im just tossing my likes and opinion into the mix LOLOLOL
Then again there is this option, and just re-badge it with your TF, BTW I ran my 5W Bugera valve amp through this,, Its a amazing sounding cab! You can probably find one up there or just across the border.

Thank you. It's such a overwhelming thought that so many try to pretend that it doesn't exist. Between that and growing up homeless. It's enough to make you just shut down.

Re: Some times it is how you play (28 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I do not have my first guitars either. I first bought a LP copy by Masada. 80 bucks long b4 the availability of Internet Deals like GFS or Rhonda. It was in pretty pore shape but I loved it. Then my first acoustic guitar was some type of Yamaha I bought from th e friend who taught me to play. Like DE, I sold and swapped guitar a lot in my young man days. I don't think I have paid more than 400 for any guitar. That would be my EPI SG 400. My most valuable guitar is my 70s Ovation 12 string. I like to buy sub-200 guitars and upgrade to what I am trying for tone wise and visually. Newest Acoustic is my Takamine.

If there was an emoji on here jealous, I'd use it hereThanks, TIG ...
I learned why most amp manufacturers use Tolex cabinet covering and grille cloth: the process of wood finishing was the most time consuming part of this. The next one will be a single 12" speaker cabinet to go with a Traynor "Iron Horse" amp head I've been ogling. It's a 40-watt all-tube set up, so the pairing will be compact, portable, and plenty powerful enough.
Idea to think about. instead of a single 12, ( as that 40 W Valve will blow the doors off it! ) have you thought about either 2X10 or maybe a minie top cab with 4 X 8" ? that would look pretty Rad. or 4x6 (although usually reserved for Bass cabs, it would save space. I used to have a Crate G20C amp that came with 2 x 6" so actually you could make a pretty compact 4X6 with a slant top if you are feeling froggy and have a nice portable set up.
here is a YT link with a G20C its wired in stereo. the guy is not really showing the best ability of that amp, but I used to play some pretty heavy stuff with that and my stomp box. point being that a mini cab would be really cool.

Huh, no one has done Cats in the Cradle yet? Well... I've got that one printed out. I don't do all the fancy walks, but I can strum that one! I haven't tried in years though. I'll see if I can give it a shot and help get my fingers ready for Backyard Gathering 2017.
I listed to everyone's recordings for this month. Really great job everyone!
Get it on there girl! I strum that one pretty well also, you hit the acoustic on this one. I still want to do the UKJ type metal version. I did not plan any extra work this weekend, so looks like Ill get a chance to try.

.
I have a 12' x 18' room in the basement, where the guitars, piano, amps, TV, sound system, etc. all live.
Most of us would just call it "My Studio" LOLOL or the MAN ROOM.
That rig looks great and I really like the TF . I bet it does sound warmer with all the wood around it! How about a sound test on sound cloud? gotta get dirty with it also!
A+ on fit and finish!
