It's good to find a home.

Damn it's great to be an elitist gear dork.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    ok, at the risk of ruining your peace and quiet, I just wanted to say I'm mad my mom made me play the flute. i wanted to play the guitar.


    it's on my list of things to learn before I'm too old to learn. that and the french horn.
    oh Ed! what big vinyl you have!

    I swear, I've only been on here a couple of days, and so far half the threads I've been on turn into fights over there. I mean a thread about Bailys even can go sour.
    I can't believe I was even defending Cat Stevens

    Much more mellow over here! You guys are good people.I'm not a great electronics guy though. ( Not with new stuff.)

    Can I play the part of the old guy that has a bunch of stuff and just plugs it in and turns everything on 10?
    Then, after the smoke clears, I can ask you guys. What da hell was that!
    I almost had that briefcase full of pedals though last night. missed it by like 10 bucks.

    Your not ruining anyones peace and quiet here!
    The guitar is awesome. You can play it anywhere.
    I've been playing for like 35 years or so, ( I told you I'm the old guy here!)

    It would be fun to whip out a French horn at a party though!

My favorite thing about playing guitar is jamming with people. Of course it's great if girls are around and they love it but mainly just getting into a groove and jamming. I could do that all day everyday.

    one of my favorite pieces is Mozart's French Horn Concerto. it's good for waking up in the morning.

    I would love to learn how to play more instruments. I only have 3 under my belt. I hope my kids are into music...when i have kids anyway.

    I played Trombone for 7 years. I still have it but as of yet haven't put it on any recordings.

    And Bach Cello Suites. My brother is a cellist and can bring tears to your eyes when he plays. That is one of my favorite instruments
    I have a cello, but I sound like I'm snoring or farting when I play it!

    If you're into music, your kids will be ,too

    I really dig the Brandenburg Concerto's esp #3. Chamber Music is excellent.

    That's in my cd changer somewhere. I have two 400 disk sony changers, and about a third of my 600 cd's are floating in there somewhere! I KNEW I should have wrote them down!

    Do we have to be Pearl Jam related ?
    I have a symphony in "D" somewhere.
    There, that's Pearl Jam related.

    nah this is the gear forum, no one really comes here but us. We can do what we want. It's our own private board Palm tree/beach to sit on. Just generally have a good time with out all the bullshit. If Pearl Jam wants to hang out they can.

    Bach's solo Cello suites by Rostropovich is some of the most moving things you will ever hear..

    Whoa,
    You know I'm an old hippy from way back, this is much more my style. I was an "in your face person" during the Viet Nam War and civil rights, but I'm a quieter man now.
    ( puts on a little sunscreen,,,,, tops off that pina colada. )

    Are you in Grenada? If you are, just grab any old used acoustic, check the neck for straightness and make sure the strings are somewhat close to the fret board.
    It's humid down there, so you don't want anything too expensive, as an expensive guitar needs special treatment down there.
    Learn some chords and worry about getting something different after you get some playing under your belt.

    I was there last January. It is beautiful in the rainforest there. Nothing funner than renting a left hand drive car and driving on the left side on the switchbacks in the mountains

    You can find used and cheap guitars if you need.

    Whole lot of housing cleaning for the board. Paco, just wanted to say the information worked and I was successful. Thank you. Silly boys, you can't jam on an "island" without a bass.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Don't think I don't have a towel and a Pina Colada for you too girl. Damn, where's the hibachi. I'm getting hungry.

    Glad the info worked. If you ever want the shirt off my back let me know.

    Ahhhhhh! So happy to see you!

    The bass is the most important, especially for the dancing tonight!
