Hey Guys ,
   Does'nt seem like this is gonna fit in here , but I've been in a great mood for the last couple of weeks . Met a new jamming partner about three weeks ago . Turns out we're like peas and carrots ,
( as Forest Gump would say ).
   I keep expecting some personality conflict to surface , but nothing yet......
Even my wife and his significant other get on great . We all really like each other .
   We play well together and our voices sound good together ....................
   I'm a happy guy.........

   Badeye ,   Sorry for your loss........it can be devastating to lose a friend ...

Hey Eagleeye ,
   Very cute , but what I found funnier , was what popped up along side the lyrics . ( a viagra ad........)
                     L O L........

Hey Topgun ,
   A few years ago when I was looking , the best one I found for the least money was the Dean Markley Pro Mag . When I bought mine , I think it was about forty four bucks . I use it some , but mostly bought it so when we have someone show up at a jam with a straight accoustic , just slip it in and go . Real nice accoustic tone .
   I think Musician's Friend or
American Musical Supply usually have the best deals .
   That one does'nt have volume control built in , but for the money , it's the best I found .
   Good luck..........

Hey Geoaguiar ,
   Reminds me of this one time , forty years ago when I was about fourteen .
  One of my buddies came over one day to sing and play , and he walked in the door with this bag of bananas .
I'm like , what are they for , and he says , well he heard that if you take the skins , dry them in the oven , you can smoke them .  Again , I'm like , oooo kay . So we peel all these bananas and eat them ( did'nt want to waste them right ? ) Then put all these skins on my mom's cookie sheets into the oven they go . Well ,we were both feeling a little green from eating all these bananas
and words can not describe the smell coming from the oven.........Needless to say everything got thrown away ,
and when my mom came home to that smell and the mess on her cookie sheets , we were both in deep s--t .
I got the blame and his mom got a call .
   That was my first and last time experimenting with crap like that .
   After that and to this day I say , just give me a beer.......

Hey Roger ,
  Isn't it fun when you find something like that , and it turns out to be just what you
were looking for .
  Seems like it just doesn't happen often enough.......

Upyerkilt ,
   In the U K , is jock a slang for the Scotts ? Sorry , had no idea . Here in the U S A ,
that's what we call the
" athletes ". At least in school.
   As a side note , England and Scotland are the only places on earth that I want to visit . I've seen everything
here in the U S that I care to see ...........

Hey Lylenbev ,
   Could'nt agree more , I thought I was the only one who thought that . When I have a choice , I use the open chord . Sounds much better............

Hi ,
   I agree with Badeye & cytania , I don't think the type of music is the cause of bad behavior . I live five miles from where " We Fest "
music festival is held every year , Which is primarily country music . And we see our share of poor behavior from the people who come from all over the country for it . Of course country music isn't really country music anymore , is it ?
   As far as the topic goes , I
say , " Electric guitars don't kill people ,.....People kill people................

Oldnewby ,
   Thanx fer bein ma dixanery,
   All you said is absolutely true , could'nt have said it better myself . Bob Dylan's
voice was not among his many virtues .
   I don't and will never have the singing voice that I wish I had , and yet at jams when I have done some of my own songs , there is nary a dry eye in the place ........( unless of course they were feeling sorry for themselves having to listen to my voice ).
L O L...
   But as you said , I think content and how well the music is played can make up for a lot............

Hi Nela ,
   If the song is good , it's all good , but that said I would have to go with
   The Story..
   The Rhythm..
   The Vocals..
          in that order.......
   Everything else in icing on the cake..........

   ( Could someone tell me what syncopation is , I'm self taught and don't remember seeing that before ??? )

Mcatak ,
   You know , I always wanted to try that after watching Barry and Maurice
Gibb do some of my favorite songs that way , but I was always afraid I would get spoiled ( or lazy ) , and not want to play the other way anymore . I'd be lost , I'd have to completely relearn all my picking patterns and run ups and downs . Might just have to try it anyway.........
