Fire your pinky, then.

Or, make the thing work until it does what you tell it.   

If you can break 100, you're better than most golfers.  If you can break into the 80s, you're way better than most golfers.  If you can shoot scratch, I hate you. 

I alway say that my golf scores and my bowling scores are starting to converge...

I've got a bucketfull of bone saddles and nuts I've not gotten around to cutting just yet.

Lazy me!

Yup, that's what I meant to say. 

The difference between a sus and an add is exactly that.  With the sus, you suspend the 3rd.   With the add, you play the 3rd, and just add the 2 to the chord.

Buy in bulk and change them often.

A bass amp will give you better response on those low notes, but it's safe to play through a guitar amp.  The amplifier drives the speaker cone regardless of the input.      Keep your amplifier set up in a reasonable way, and you should be able to play through it just fine. 

I've run my bass (mounted with obnoxious humbuckers) through a 100W Crate guitar amp for months at concert volumes, and I still occasionally run it through a little 12W Kustom tube amp.    An amplifier has two jobs.  1st is to amplify the guitar signal.  2nd is to protect the speaker cabinet from damage.  Bass pickups don't generate any more signal than guitar pickups do.

I'm not a tattoo person.  I've been blacked out drunk in some of the worst tattoo ghettos on Earth, and I have nary a mark on me.  I take that as a sign from the Divine. 

I have thought about getting the circle of 5ths tattooed on my left forearm, though.  Permanent cheat sheet.

I live by the "If you can't say anything nice, ask Jerome instead" rule. 

Really though, singing is just the same as playing.   As your playing improves, you'll gain confidence, and that will lead to better playing.    Singing is the same thing.  As you find confidence, you'll find your own voice, and it will sound fantastic.   If guys like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty can sing, so can you.

If it's buzzing at the 7th fret, I'd check the neck before adjusting the bridge.  If the truss rod is too tight, it would force the neck back.   Take a level and lay it on the edge of the neck to see how much or little it's bowed.   

Also check the frets that are buzzing to see if they are worn or grooved.  I've got a fakeocaster with a notch ground in the 2nd fret on the 2nd string.  Don't know what key the guy played in, but it seems to be the only one he played in. 

Open up a browser window, and hit "CTRL-SHIFT-N" and you'll get a new window with a picture of a little spy dude in the corner.  It's also available from the "Tools" menu on the far right, indicated by the picture of a little wrench.

Chrome is really simple.  There are three arrows at the top left of the screen.  One points left for back, one points the other way for forward, and one is a circle for reload.
