No no no. It's only if you just jam with your buddies AND you're hiding them at friend's houses.  In fact, the entire chart can be condensed to "If you aren't hiding them, buy more."

Which makes sense. 

In the Queen's English, it's called Hurling.   It's played in Ireland almost exclusively, and is the fastest game you'll see on a standard pitch.

I think it is a combination of magic and the elves they use to put them together.  I love Taylors.

There are standardized forms for songs, but they aren't "rules" per se.   For example, a "12 Bar Blues" in C would be four bars of C, two bars of F, two bars of C, two bars of G, then two more bars of C.  If you're playing with a group of people you don't know, you could say "This is a twelve bar blues in C" and everyone would know what to do.

But it doesn't have to be that way.  Your progressions can be anything you find pleasing to your ear, and no one will call the guitar police on you.

We had our Wintergrass followup meeting yesterday, and the festival is still interested.  We're formally titling the project "Monsters in the Halls" and hopefully it will become an annual thing.  I'm getting crushed by school right now (double entry accountingZZZzzzzzzzz......) so I haven't had as much time as I'd like to dedicate to the tracks, but they're still coming along.  That class is over in a couple of weeks, and I'll have more time to dedicate to this then.

You've got the perfect voice for that kind of song.

Did you do any editing at all of the tracks?

It depends on how the uke is tuned, but you don't want to capo it, you just want to learn to play in whatever key the song is in, and that means understanding what the capo is doing for you.

What chord shapes are you playing on the guitar when the capo is on?  If you're doing a lot of E and A shapes, the song is probably in G.  If you're doing lots of C and F shapes, the song is probably in D.  If you're doing lots of D and A shapes, it is probably in E.

Learn those chords on the uke, and you're done!  No capo required.

Archtops make me sweaty.

Behold the object of my desire...

New strings.

That's good stuff right there.   I use an old POD2 in a similar way to overdrive the input tubes on my small Kustoms.  It sounds soooooo good.

I'm going old school, too.  Basically, all I want is delicious overdriven tube tones, and that's it.
