You've been targeted by Q!

You must be a secret baby-eating Democrat that does double abortions. When you've aborted one fetus, you cram it back in to abort it again before eating it while IVing the adrenocrome!

Damnit I see this post every week for weeks. Weeks... Fuck it.

Lil over a year of playing bass. Work full time and kids so honestly I never practiced as much as I should.

I played a YT vid of random punk drum track on my TV, cranked my lil shit box practice amp. Then hit record on my phone.

My amp is a shitty Peavey Vypyr VIP1 which isnt that great as a bass amp.

nice bass. you could solder a cap in line to the speaker to cut some of the deep bass note out so it will clean up the speakers tone a bit. still sounded good.

Your link is broken.

My favorite Misfits song would be Thieves, by the way.

I edit just after posting. Try again it works now. Edit also looked up that song. I couldnt find a Misfits song but a Ministry song by that title.

As long as he gets to do what he loves when he grows up and is happy in his life is the best you can hope for. Anything else is just gravy

"Him" meaning like your kid or something?

Hes trying but his hands are still small. Hes very small for his age but his mind is sharp and knows what he wanta his hands to do. If i keep him from damaging his hands he will be the new gen blues man i promise u that

Young is good. Almost the younger the better, though I'd probably not try to seriously teach a student until they were 8 (some kids sooner, some kids later). I've done my share of formal teaching for money, a couple of times right out of a guitar store booth.

Now's a good time to show them that they don't have to press hard on the frets. The lighter they can press on the frets to make a note ring true, the better. Learning a light touch now will save a couple of years of fixing it later in life. Pretty much everyone I hear without formal instruction is pressing the frets too hard - and I'm guilty of doing so myself.

It's easier to learn good habits than it is to correct bad habits. <-- That's very important.

Hello and welcome to another FNGT. We don't have anything new, we did last time we opened thread so go listen to that again!

This week, let's trot out a classic that hasn't been shared all that often - perhaps only once before:

By the way, it'd be pretty sweet if at least one other person volunteered to help. There's just two of us, when we had three of us for years. Shit happens, sometimes to two people - but seldom to all three of us.

Rock on, Poalr Bears. Rock on!

Hi all, and happy Friday! I've got a dozen irons in the fire and it feels pretty good.

I think I may have posted this up on another site many moons ago.

It's all good. You can share it more than once.

It does feel good to have all sorts of things to do or all sorts of things you're working on that may pan out the way you want them to.

Me? I've been excited by guitar again - by starting a project checking out how cheaply one can get into guitar these days - and it's amazing. I bought an IYV Les Paul for $170 and intonation was spot on, no fret fuzz, action perfect, etc... It's very playable, like a guitar worth about 4 times as much. I'm gonna keep testing cheap ass gear. Even my cheap amp sounds acceptable.

I haven't owned anything with humbuckers for a long time, and I don't have a good reason for it. It may get remedied soon. One of my children is dating someone who works at the PRS factory. I've been dropping hints.

LOL A couple of years back, I got artist price on some guitars out of their custom shop. I regret nothing!

I've heard rumblings about PRS quality lately, but I'd not worry too much about that.

Damn. That sounds like the stuff they played on Barbarella with that fine ass Jane Fonda.

Cool. I read somewhere (COF maybe?) the reason that part sounds so different is because it's a sax and harmonica playing in unison.
