Maybe. I wrote it after a friend of mine killed his wife, then himself last Friday. It was more of a cathartic exercise for me than anything, and I'm still not able to make my way through the whole thing.
I'm bringing it to the band tomorrow. They were friends with my friend, too. We'll just have to see how it goes.

Black Sheep. Zombie sheep in Kiwiland! AHHHHAAHH!!!!
Zombie Strippers is also fantastic, and despite it's premise and title, is actually a pretty intelligent film.
The "one fret away" bit of wisdom is rightfully credited to Shawn Lane. He played so fast you would have hardly noticed if he missed a note, but credit where it's due. I'm just the messenger.
I would challenge anyone to just "belt out a solo" without understanding key signature and the scales that back it. You might be able to do that if you're playing someone else's songs, or if you're playing everything in one key, but generally speaking, you're going to miss a whole lot of notes if you don't.
Buy strings by the box. They're a consumable, they break, and they get nasty and need changed like diapers. You'll get the hang of it soon enough.
Heading to Yellowstone over the Independence Day holiday. We rented a house about 20 miles north of the gate.
Take a look at the NT50, then. It's a little bit dirtier, but you will get another 20 amps of room out of it.
I've gone small. VOX has put out a ton of little 15 and 20 watt tube lunch-boxes. Phenomenal stuff from such a little bitty box.
The VOX NT and AC amps are delicious. The AC30 is pretty awesome and offers up great clear tones, but if you want a bigger amp, the NT can get you to 50W, although the clean tone is just a little bit (just right 
) dirty.
I've only owned Stihl, but they've lasted forever. I've still got my dads that he bought in 1978. Two stroke that runs like a champ.
Look at it this way. It's not that your fingers hurt, it's that they don't hurt enough!
Play as much as you can. Then play some more. They'll toughen up.
It's pronounced "Ingvay." He's talented, and he's also a complete %#$^hole. Even outside his infamous "You've unleashed the fury!" incident (look that up, it's comedy gold), he takes great pains to trash other guitar players.
Get a gig bag with backpack straps. Your body will protect it from wind buffeting. I don't carry my guitars on my motorcycles but I know guys that do.
Scales are the foundation of everything you can do on a guitar. Ever seen a dude sit down and play with a group of people he's never played with before, or wonder how a guy can rip out turn arounds and fills on demand? Scales help you do that.
We're seriously hard core on spammers here.
I used to volunteer for NORML way back in the early 90s. I'm glad to see a lot of "green cross" type co-ops becoming more prevalent. I believe every state on the west coast now has protections for medical marijuana.
If you have a macintosh, garage band comes with an outstanding set of piano (and guitar) lessons on video.
Dad was a career firefighter and had back problems, too. He swore by foot massages. Seriously. Apparently there is some nerve connection between your feet and your lower back. Acupressure and all that helped immensely. And for the record, Dad was no new age hippie, either, so it must have had some effect.
My playing is considerably worse if I smoke. My hands just freeze up. It's considerably worse if I drink, too. My head just freezes up.
On the other hand, I know some guys that bong out and absolutely tear it up.
Not wanting to cause an argument or upset anyone but this is something I have heard before and I cannot logically make sense of.
Tobacco is a natural grown plant and we all know that smoking it produces nicotine, tars and countless other toxic chemicals and the long term effects on our health from it's use. However we take the same cigarette and add a few bits of a different plant (or toasted bits off a brown block) then suddenly all the harmful effect are eliminated and it is supposed to be good for you!! I cannot get my head around that reasoning in any way, shape or form.
By the way I have been a cigarette smoker for good part of my life and whilst writing this I do have a desire to partake, but I will resist as I have for the past year.

The difference is that nicotine is a naturally grown deadly toxin. THC is a naturally grown chemical, but its toxicity is almost nil.
I cant tolerate smoke of any kind because of the damage I inflicted on myself with smoking ciggaretts but I stll enjoy a brownie or two
That's how its done.
I've smoked enough pot to crush you if it fell on you. Frankly, I just don't have the time.
Depends on the guitar. If I'm touting about a $5K Taylor, keep that pen away from me. If I'm sporting the $99 Yamaha, sign 'em up.
In an interesting bit of semi-apropos anecdotal story telling, I went to see Joe Pug play at the Tractor Tavern on Friday. The guy that opened up for him, Ben Gilmer, was phenomenal. I'd never heard of him, but he was really good. I bought both his records. I got home and was looking up the guys Myspace page, and discovered that he was out here to finish his Ph.D in medicinal geography. I found his Massters Thesis.
I'm going to print it out, and if I see him again, have him autograph that.
Best Eurovision act EVAR...
It's deceptively difficult. The instrument is tuned upside down to 5ths, so you have seven fret stretches for some common chords. There are 8 strings, and it's tightly tuned, so your hands need to be in really good condition.
And "mandolin" is an Italian word meaning "out of tune."
Hi jerome clear that up,without a tv or a woman? How do you get too watch sports?
Without the TV. Every dollar I've spent on a television was because the lady in my life "needed" one. Sports I simply quit watching, too, and followed in the paper or listened on the radio (baseball is better this way.) Giving up the one or two things I did watch for the hours and hours of time I suddenly had available was well worth the trade.
I have one in the house now, but I don't watch it, except for DVDs and Netflix with the kids.
Movie night!
