I clearly remember the day pentatonic shapes were explained to me. It was by one of those young genius kids you hate to love and love to hate for the pure talent they have and you don't. Anyway, I said "Show me this pattern" and he said "lotta people playing lots of licks with that one." He played it a little, and the light went on.
There be dragons there, though. It's so easy, you run the risk of getting "stuck" there.
It's the Evil B. It's not hard because of music theory, or phallangial development, or an accident of tuning. It's hard because it is taunting you.
It's the six foot putt of guitar.
Just wrote a one line song about breakfast. It should come in at seven minutes.
Just practice 5 chords ("power chords") up and down the neck if you want to work the barre. Only three strings involved and you can pretend you're a rock Gawd.
This is a nice little exercise that will get you used to working the index finger. You can work into "real" chords as your hand strengthens.

I much prefer children of famous people to do their own thing and forge their own way. Hank Williams III, Justin Townes Earl, Norah Jones, and even Julian Lennon have all done their own thing rather than trying to perpetuate what their parents did. I think that's good.
The French, despite their peculiarities with cars and aircraft, have managed to perfect almost every aspect of the culinary arts.
Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. Who would think a 69 yr old man would like this song? Put a minor chord in a song and I'm hooked.
I recorded a couple of kids playing Wagonwheel at Wintergrass this year. The nine year old banjo player says to me "You know Wagonwhee? It's the new Freebird."
I about rolled over laughing.
We just busted out a tasty punked up version of the Stone's "Painted Black" on Sunday. It's going into the set list.
I have a boss rc 2 which I find great for solo practice but I dont use it live as I find it hard to time the stop start as it requires a double click . The only live use Ive done with it was about a year ago when I needed to make a rythm track for a solo gig ,I got round the stop problem by having the engineer fade the finish for me from the desk
A single stomp will stop recording, and set up a new loop. As long as you don't need to go back to it, you should be able to stop the loop with one stomp. As other's have noted, the optional pedal will give you full one stomp stoppage.
I use a Boss RC-2. Like all Boss products brilliantly put together and it feels pretty much bulletproof, I can't find any downsides to it.

I've got an RC-2 as well, and will vouch for it's utility. It is a small pedal that provides up to 16 minutes of recording and 11 different loop slots. And like all Boss stomp boxes, it's pretty much indestructible. The drum patterns are kinda cheesy, but they're better than a metronome and perfectly adequate for at home jam sessions.
Beasties are besties!
Wonderwall is so overplayed it's created it's own internet meme...
It's the new "Stairway to Heaven!"
I didn't buy a ticket, but the wife did.

No love, though.
If I won it, the only people that would know where we disappeared to would be my mom and my accountant. Clues may be found in the gross national consumption of rum and pineapple, thought.
I wouldn't freak out over the pre-amps in an acoustic guitar. Putting new electronics in an acoustic is one of the easiest things you can do, and there are a ton of options out there. So if you don't like them, simply replace them.
Evaluate it purely from an acoustic standpoint, and make your decision based on that.
They put the hammer down on the Saints, although given all the "reduce injuries" rule changes, I can't say that comes as a surprise.
Well, I think what's changed is the popular generas. Back in the late '80s and early '90s when grunge was becoming all the rage, it was absolutely nuts here. People would pack houses to see bands they'd never heard of before and going to see a show was just what you did. All the radio play of bands that made music with guitars and drums kept things going. Now days that scene just isn't as vibrant (or media worthy) and the City Fathers aren't as friendly towards nightlife as they used to be. I think Portland is a way better town now, generally, for exactly that reason.
Like I said, gentrification sucks.
The man changed things, and was hugely influential.
Everyone knows what you mean when you say "Scruggs."
They're still up here, they just aren't in Pioneer Square or Belletown any more. Those two areas have gone full gangster and complete yuppie, respectively, making for the DJ/Cover Band phenomenon you note.
In the U-District we lost the Rainbow but the Blue Moon is still running strong. The Crocodile re-opened to much fanfare and the Moore still does live shows every night. There is also the Tripple Door for a more upscale scene. There are a couple of places out in West Seattle, the Skylark Cafe most notably, but all the real action has moved to Ballard. The Tractor, High Dive, Sunset Cafe and Connor Byrnes are kind of ground zero right now.
Gentrification sucks, but it still rains a lot up here, meaning lots of dudes locked inside with guitars. Fret not, live music is still *cough* alive and kicking in Seattle. 
(I apologize for two puns in one sentence. My shame is great)
Oh, absolutely on the in-ear monitors. I'd be happy with powered monitors. Right now we're using these heap-o-garbage passive things on the floor, and they're terrible. For the most part, we're happy if we play places with their own sound system, though.
NIT is a single elimination tournament, too, so we'll have to wait until next year to root for 'em.
Football season starts in August, though.
Huh?
Spammer left a message all about khaen, and said "Here's a link to some cool music with khaen (or words to that effect)."
Link went to some purse shop or something. 
Not NCAA related, but my Huskies just lost a heartbreaker in OT to Minnesota in the NIT Semi-finals. They played like their typical underachieving selves in the first half, and then came on like gangbusters in the second to make up a 15 point deficit in the second.
Oh well!
The Sm58 is certainly a staple for vocal mic's, I use the beta58 versions on stage for many reasons but, mostly because it's a dynamic mic and that makes it more reliable than death and taxes...as for the acoustic guitar, I would recommend a guitar pickup over a microphone. In the end you'll find it easier to setup, operate and control.
I like to chat with musicians that have no ego to fuel. thanks for inviting me into your E-house.....
I'm with you. Unless you're on stage where feedback is a problem (and for me, that's frequently :) ), I'd mic a guitar with large diaphragm condensers over any dynamic mic every time. The response curve on dynamics (SM-58s in particular) isn't going to be particularly friendly to a guitar.
Note that open E on a guitar sits at about 80Hz.
Compare that with a pretty low budget condenser (AKG Perception 420)
And you can see what you're losing on the low end.
Yup. Took me a minute to make the connection, because the post was topical and interesting. I'm sad to report that I was really looking forward to clicking on that link and hearing some khaen.
I must be getting old in my slow age.
Going direct into the amp using a microphone to amplify the guitar is not the ideal situation for live application.
I don't think we're suggesting that. We're talking about close micing the amplifier, not micing the guitar.
If all you want is a vocal mic, the Shure SM58 is as reliable as the rain.
