Re: Has anyone ever done anything this stupid? (29 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I thought it would be funny to walk around a Pearle Vision Center and act blind. My friend thought it would be funnier to allow me to run headlong into a display of reading glasses. Only 5 stitches on my forehead later, I was forced to move my business to LensCrafters. Couldn't walk back in that place.

Depends on what you want to play, how much budget you have, and how much storage space you have access to.

Re: Nut job (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Is it on all strings or just a few of 'em? Sounds like you have a bend or cant in the neck.....or maybe cut the saddle too deep, I guess.

Re: Modelling Amplifiers (17 replies, posted in Electric)
The Vox is pretty rad. My rhythm guitarist has one. I've played with a lot of Line 6 gear and I've never been a fan. No experience with the Fender.

Oh is it only for open chords? I didn't notice that. Might try swapping out your nut for a bone nut....could be a timbre thing, too.

Re: Nylon String AE (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to do that. I used to be a total brand whore when it came to buying guitars but (to your point) there's a lot of value to be found outside Taylor, Martin, Guild, etc.

Topic: Nylon String AE (8 replies, posted in Acoustic)
anyone played a taylor 314ce? I'm thinking about getting rid of one of my semi hollowbodys (I don't need 2) and picking up a higher end acoustic electric w/nylon strings.
Thoughts?

Topic: Songwriting Year Has Commenced (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I'm the worst song writer ever. First off, I'm way too self-critical and won't let anything out the door unless I think "Man, Paul Simon would love that." This self-criticism creates in me a problem with writer's block that lasts years at a time. Every few years or so, my creative juices get too much for my fragile little ego to handle and I just start writing and writing and writing and writing. It's a fun time for me.
Anyway, now is one such time. I've put together 5 originals in the last couple of weeks. (You won't hear two of them as they completely suck. LOL) So I'll be posting some here soon.
Curious as to other songwriters' creative processes....I find that if I don't write something and love it immediately I wind up just ditching it. Do you spend a lot of time writing and re-writing your tunes? Are you melody first or chords first?

Generous, gracious, encouraging - any of those would work. Since I know you're frequently on a hair trigger for a good cussing streak, how about "the barely contained moderator".

I think it's funny that I called myself the "other bald moderator" after Baldguitarguy named himself the "bald moderator", but now he's changed his title and I'm still the "other" bald moderator. Guitarpix wins the overall prize with Underwater Firefighter, though. I'm not sure that can be beat.
I'm not the guy, man. I'I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me. Or maybe His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Re: String Bending (8 replies, posted in Electric)
Sounds like you're muscling the thing to death. Less string pressure should help.
The other option is that your intonation is off...have you checked that?

Re: When do you re string (17 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've certainly found that fret wear on elixirs creates asymmetrical string vibration and totally blows out your intonation. That's why I don't play the things.
