Topic: Concert Review - Joe Bonamassa (3 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Saw Joe Bonamassa at Pearl in the Palms casino Saturday night. If you have never seen this man perform, put it on your bucket list. In addition to being a complete monster on guitar, the guy is one of the best song arrangers I've ever heard in my life. Lots of extended jams, tempo changes, key changes, dynamics changes....my mouth was ajar the entire time. Four of the best musicians I've ever seen share a stage. Here's a taste of what they sounded like, although this was from a different performance:

Re: Need help playing "the angels came down" by Kevin Costner (1 replies, posted in Song requests)
Beginning sounds like this:
G
C add 9
Verse
G for a while
then em
C (when the angels came)
D
G
That should get you close. I'm not sure if it's in G so you may need to capo or transpose.

I think that being active with a fly rod is a lot more relaxing than being sedentary in my desk at work.

Re: my beloved Gurian (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Your "Gurian" is my "Madeira." Those were an el-cheapo Guild import line made in the early 60's. I got one when I was 6 that I still play every day. I just found another on ebay for $200. It sounds great and the craftsmanship is awesome. I'd be heartbroken if I lost my Madeiras.

Re: After midnight JJ Cale cover GB Blues Band Live At BAP. (7 replies, posted in My local band and me)
To Toot's point, he was nicely on top of the beat but maintaining a consistent quarter note until the fills right before the first solo. Both times he switched from hi hat to ride in the solos he pushed it a bit too much. On top of the beat with a consistent quarter note is cool....but he needs to make sure he stays in that pocket if he's going to use that kind of attack.
I thought the bassist did a good job trying to hold 'er back.

Re: Pick down (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I keep loads of spare picks in my back right pocket for that very reason....drop one? No biggie. Just reach back and grab a new one. Hard to do if you play sitting down though.

Re: Ability to Sing (37 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Actually ear plugs help you hear your head voice more vs. external sounds, not less. That's why singers sometimes plug their ears with their fingers when they are on stage. Case study: http://www.vocalist.org.uk/singing-with … -loss.html

Re: How to buy a guitar (21 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
For me it depends upon price point. If I'm buying el cheapo or a traveler, I just go in, play guitars in my price point, and pull the trigger. If I'm looking for a vintage or higher end instrument (as I am currently), I trust my favorite local guitar tech (who also techs for some well known national acts). He will (once I'm ready) go with me, look at an instrument and give it his blessing prior to my wasting thousands of dollars on a crapbox.

Re: Ability to Sing (37 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The problem might be one of not hearing your voice in your head adequately vs. the sound of the guitar and environmental noise. Try putting in foam earplugs. You'll hear a lot more head voice and a lot less external sound.
