If I had a gong I'd hit it so hard the paint would fall off of the walls. That's the worst thing I've heard since Celene Dion sang "You Shook Me All Night Long". That was painful Doc, may I have an asprin please?!?!?

'at's about all I can think of at the moment. I love trios, everyone's has a ton of stuff to do in order to produce a big, powerful sound.........
''Would you rather a good ole big 'un, or a big ole good 'un?''
I seem to have a problem with musicians who stay high/drunk. I respect the song or vocal whatever their role is in the band but I always have to ask are the drugs/alcohol inhibiting or helping the creativity? I always seem to lean towards the school of thought that says "anyone can get blazed and tap into that off kilter drug place to get 'inspiration!!'"
I know not everybody agrees with that. I have friends that disagree COMPLETELY. But having never been a druggy or a drinker, I guess I respect people who do not have to alter their mind to be "creative" more than one who seems to need that extra "push."
But that's just me. 8-)
Don't knock it 'til you try it.............And be careful not to hurt your ankle when you dismount your "high" horse. hahahaha
Hello Everyone.
Is there anything I am missing or any helpful tips that would be handy for 1st time players? mind you im a complete novice. I think I would need the GUITAR GUIDE FOR DUMMIES.............

To Much Wacky Backy! Southpaw
Me thinks ?
Old Doll.
Nope, no 'backy for almost 2 years. I think my brain's becoming fizzle-fried from watching my almost 3 year old son during the day and dealing with drunken discontents during the night( my gigs). I'm almost ready to pack things up and take the family to a log cabin far off in the mountains away from society for about 30 or 40 years. But on the other hand, things could be much worse than they actually seem so I think we'll stay in the big city for a few more years..........
Hope all's well with you and yours Old Doll.

Sometimes when I mash down real hard on my eyes for like, 2 minutes, I see big headed aliens wearing aluminum foil bikinis, baking cookies on the roof of an old hay silo.
"Squeel like a pig". Hope you enjoy yourself. Sounds fun, Zurf.
...and if someone approaches you and your buddies and say, "Boy you gotta perdy mouth", run, run real fast!
Have yourself a wonderful getaway.

Good idea Nela.
When changing your guitar strings take a finely sharpened pencil and draw inside the notches on the nut (by headstock) and the bridge (on body). The coating of lead creates a smoother gliding surface for your strings and helps to prevent sticking and 'pinging'.
Next, keep a fresh sheet of mid-grit sandpaper in your guitar case.(inside the pick compartment so the sandpaper won't scuff up your guitar finish). When your guitar picks begin to wear down they get little snag notches on the sides. These snags are one of the main causes for breaking strings. Use your sandpaper to sand off the snaggy areas on your picks. I know picks are relatively inexpensive but you can double or triple the life of your picks by using this technique. It adds up to a significant amount of money over time..........
Gotta add Steve Perry formerly of Journey to mix of pretentious snobs.
The king of the class though, after recently hearing ex-Eagle Don Felder(former partner & lead guitarist who wrote the music for Hotel California) in a live interview, has to be Don Henley and Glen Frye. Henley and Frye booted Felder out of the band simply because they wanted a larger slice of the monetary pie. Felder described the demonic duo of Henly and Frye as pure evil.(in a business relationship) I tend to agree with Felder here. Has anyone ever seen an interview with Henley and/or Frye? Henley particularly looks and sounds as if a wildebeest just broke wind directly into his nostrils.
.....and, once a year we get jar of dill pickles and those massages Zurf speaks of are from a one armed pygmy clad in a Australian Rules Football referee's uniform........
dino,
I have a suggestion. Use this new gem of a guitar you're gonna be getting and write a song for the folks who're giving it to you. One good deed deserves another and giving someone a 'one-of-a-kind' gift is indeed a good deed. Both parties benefit! Congratulations and good luck.

"Man who goes to sleep with itchy butt, wake up with stinky finger." -Confucius
"How can I so thirsty this morning when I drank so much last night?"-John Prine(?)

When I was eight, I played Little League. I was on first; I stole third; I went straight across. Earlier that week, I learned that the shortest distance between two points was a direct line. I took advantage of that knowledge.

I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. So I said, "Got any shoes you're not using?"

As you can tell, I really dig Steven Wright. Here's some more of his brilliant humor............
Morrison was unique, his lyrics were colorful, intellectual, and painfully true. His stage persona was that of Godzilla stature. He was unpredictable, sang in tongues at times, and was as controversial a singer that ever hit the big time. He had the looks of a male model and the mind of a mad scientist. The dude could flat out sing his butt off, when he chose to do so.
Ray Manzarek was/is sensational on the keys/organ, John Densmore was/is a tasteful drummer who knew when to step it up and when to step it down, and Robby Krieger was/is an incredibly talented guitar player who was upstaged and underated due to Morrisons' larger than life image.
I personally do not feel as though The Doors were overrated. In my opinion they were very deserving of the huge level of success they obtained. The combination of punk, psychedelic, and main steam rock and roll was a great mix of stylistic ingredients that served up a triumphant dish of cool music.
This "I hear what your sayin'" response is just a polite way of saying you're full of s*** and I do not agree with you whatsoever. Civil right this, civil rights that, bla, bla, bla.... Accident reports all over the world are proving, without a shadow of doubt, that cell phone use in motor vehicles have now become the leading cause of traffic accidents. There is room to change and amend (upgrade) laws in a democratic society. Driving and using cell phones impairs ones' ability to safely operate a motor vehicle just as much as, or more, than chugin' down 2 or 3 beers. I, being of sound and rational mind, honestly feel that cell phone use in a vehicle, when resulting in serious injury or death to an innocent victim, in or out out of perpetrators' vehicle, should manifest the same punishment that occurs from drinking and driving. Why not? Same neglegence+same end result should = same consequence(i.e. punishment).
There are however alternative solutions here to each dilemma that would end this nonsense altogether; take a freakin' cab and/or use a hands free cell phone device. And watch yer dirty movies at home, in private!(ahem)
Common Sense Rules (or so we hope)!

Thats true SP .. I always wondered why school buses don't have seatbelts ... now me, I've never pulled someone over for not wearing a seatbelt (then again I've never encountered that) but the idea of driving WITHOUT seatbelt IMO is nuts ... I dont know how people do it ... but I do remember back in the 70's when I was little tyke that we'd be jumping around in the backseat of my parents Maverick and up on the back dash waving at cars ... my Dad would hit the breaks and we'd go flying to the backseat and get up and tell him to do it again
Funny I wouldn't be caught dead doing that these days
Tim,
I meant no disrepect to your or your fellow officers with my "fuzz" reference. I have the utmost respect for what you do. I feel as though officers of the law and school teachers have 2 of the most important jobs in the universe. Thanks for your service. And I too have many fond memories of an old Ford Maverick. My very first car was indeed a Maverick!!( white w/ blue pin stripes, 2 door, straight 6, w/blue interior ) I saw one on the road the other day and I immediately remebered making out with a gal named Missy and throwing up all over the inside of my drivers side door. I swished my mouth out with beer (Shaeffers), chomped down a handful of certs, but the moment was ruined. She got out of the car and called someone to pick her up and I spent the night in the parking lot of my high school, in my Maverick, alone!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Look at the mess the USA and the UK are in at the moment, why?, too many rules, too many people tinkering and too many people pushing forward to a better way of life when in fact they are bringing us all to our knees.
Sorry for the rant but Chordie is and always has been a superb music site and I for one would like it left alone.
Rob.
Nothing is changing, we're just posting a sticky with our guidlines for those new members who come on board.
Also, I support seat belt laws. Minor incidents can have dire consequences for people who are not properly restrained.
.
It's ironically funny(i.e. absurdly stupid) how in my home state of Florida, a driver can be issued a traffic violation for not wearing their seat belt but less than 1/2 of all the school buses in the state aren't even equipped with seat belts. It's a stupid law that gives the police and prosecutors a firmer leg to stand on in situations that require probable cause. Still yet, my children, wife, and I wear our seat belts . Not out of fear from the local fuzz writing us a citation but simply because we feel a little safer with harness' attached....I'm just sayin'.........
I would never be so shallow as to condone drinking and driving but a new item has taken over the lead for causing motor vehicle accidents in the United States; cell phone use in vehicles..............

Plastic Bag Poppers
Elroy and The Drunk Fishermen
