I live in ACC country and "don't laugh" but Alabama plays my colledge team this saturday Duke. Now I know it's gonna be ugly, thank God for Basketball "National Champs" I went to the Duke/ Wake game this past saturday, Duke can score, but has no defense at all, so please take it easy on us.

That's gonna be ugly. Alabama looks like an NFL playoff team right about now.

Speaking of college ball, two weeks ago I was ranting to the poor guy in Radio Shack as Boise State took apart Virgina Tech. The announcers were shocked, SHOCKED!!! that Boise was handling VT as well as they were. I was griping that VT was consistently the most over rated team in the NCAA, and no one west of the Appalachians was shocked by it at all.
Then this week, VT went and got thrashed by James Madison! Bwahahahahahahah!!!!
Made my day.

I'm a Seahawks fan, so I'll take the opposite stand. 
I fully expected another Sadhawk blowout in the opener. I was surprised to see the licking they laid down on the Niners. I'm not ready to declare them a good football team just yet (SF might suck) but it was a good start to the season.

Sure. There is some level of technical proficiency you have to have to sing well, but that can be trained into you, unless you're completely tone deaf.
Personally, I love Willie Nelson's voice, even if it's not classically perfect. It's "old timey," as the old timey guys like to say. You could add a whole lot of old time bluegrass guys to the list of people that cant sing, but are still awesome.
I've got tickets to see Willie play on the 16th, and can't wait.

Honestly, I think Joe Perry is terrible. So is Steven Tyler. And yet, they both sound great when they're out there belting it out. Neither of them aught to be doing the National Anthem, though.
More examples of terrible singers we all love because they're awesome. Tom Petty. Niel Young. Bob Dylan. Lemmy. Shane McGowan. Anthony Kiedis. The list goes on and on. They're great, not because they're talented singers, bug because they're talented song writers and showmen.
That's what matters.
I love macs, but I refuse to spend the big dollars they want for one.
This is why you never buy a guitar you haven't played. New Martins have seen some decline in build quality on their lower end stuff, especially the instruments built in Mexico. Before I did anything, I'd have it set up professionally.
You don't need special strings to change the tuning. You just need to tune them to whatever tuning you're going to use.
Well, I was wasting away in Marguritaville when a freebird flew by, reminding me that the stairway to heaven went right through my sweet home in Alabama....
There's good music out there. It just isn't Top 40 any more. Smaller venue acts are where the talent lies.
I agree with the fretboard not being the best tool to learn theory on. I've always advocated that theory is best learned on a keyboard, where the intervals are easier to see, and the relationship with the key signature is visual.
Tube and spring reverb. Nice!
I suffer from it a bit. I just chalk it up to the price I pay to play, and suffer through. Tylenol helps, though, when attitude alone doesn't do the trick.
Before you start getting all crazy with effects, get used to your voice. How you sound inside your own head is not how you sound to other people. Set yourself up with a microphone and an amplifier, and start singing and talking into it. Once you're accustomed to that sound, you can practice and you'll be surprised how good you sound after a while.
Singing well is 99% confidence, and 1% talent, and I'll argue the talent portion every time.
I absolutely love motorcycles, but you robbed that guy! Holy cats what a collection!
The lap steel I would love to hear.
One of my favorite all time songs. Nicely done!
I'm a believer in putting the fattest, gnarliest, thickest, rudest strings you can find on guitars. It sucks for a bit, but they sound great.
Anyway, pickups are driven by basic physics. If you run a conductor (your guitar string) through a magnetic field (your pup), you induce electric current (into your amplifier.) So long as the string is made of a material that can effect a magnetic field, it will drive your pickups.
People find it easier to play farther up the neck because the frets are closer together, so it's a more natural fit for your hand. You have big ole' clumsy monkey hands designed for grabbing banannas and picking fleas. Guitar player hands have to articulate in all kinds of weird directions. The middle of the neck is about where most folks fingers lie "naturally."
I have that book. It's OK. Any "how to write songs" book is going to use theory and chord structure as a basis. They do that because theory is how you write songs!
expressskiphire wrote:Do G major and E minor share the exact same key signature?
Yes they do.
The relative minor for any major scale is indicated by the sixth note of the major scale.
Some examples
C major / A minor: Same notes, same key signature.
C Major: C D E F G A B C
A Minor : A B C D E F G A
G major / E minor: Same notes, same key signature.
G Major: G A B C D E F# G
E Minor : E F# G A B C D E
I never figured April Wine to be loud. That's kind of cool to know.
Metallica hasn't had a decent album since 1989. You want awesome and heavy and complex, like Metallica used to be?
Meshuggah. They've been doing it for 20 years, and haven't dropped a beat.
You'll never go back.
Regardless of what you choose, don't buy a guitar you haven't played. Build quality can vary from instrument to instrument.
How much I run is entirely dependent on who is chasing me.
Russell_Harding wrote:C7 is a very usefull chord it can be moved up the neck by muting both E strings if you keep in mind the steps in the C scale and that each fret is a half step so as an example a C7 posistion on the 3rd fret is a D7 on the 5th fret its a E7 and you can include the low E string on this chord (E7) for a fuller sound
Hendrix lived on that shape.
