I noodled with it some but failed to get it to a place I was happy with. Hopefully once work settles down in mid march I'll be able to take another crack.
Sweet thanks

Topic: Grounding issue! (13 replies, posted in Electric)
Ok, I have talked about the mods I did to my sons AXL Strat a few months ago. Well it tested good at the shop. We just found out recently that when we plug it in at home, it has a loud humm. not so bad in first position for the bucker, but as it goes up the selector it gets really bad. and I know strats and singles have hums,, but not like this! Yet taking it back to the shop, it did not do it again. I had them replace the jack and look for loose grounds. Check, get it home and same thing! I know its a ground issue because if you touch the jack plate, it grounds and goes away! It is all in the guitar because I plug it in same cord and amp my guitars are in with no problem.
Any suggestions for a secondary ground? or should I take it to a different shop? This same guy worked and modded Bettie with no problems, and fixed my sons acoustic also. I need to make a quick vid of what is going on for him I guess. I hate going somewhere else, but I may have too.
Thanks guys.

No. I didn't pick up on that.
Well, ------------! I spent a lot of time finding the soundbites and clipping them down, hoping to add a twist to the song. LOL Well ok since no one seems to have noticed, I guess it was not called for, or no one listens that far.

Topic: THE SCORPIONS AND GENERAL RAMBLINGS (0 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Well I did put a post in my local band, so if ya want you can check that out, (TOTALLY UNRELATED
Last night i stumbled upon a old VH-1 remaking episode I had not seen in years, It was the Vince Neil one, and that led me back down the rabbit hole. I was then led to the DVD extra disk for the carnival of Sins tour, and from there....
one of the final shows from the Scorpions. I know not many of you guys got into metal, but that band has just as many ballads as they do rockers. I was amazed, Klaus Meine can still put the notes out, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs running around like they are still 19 or 20 . It was a really good show. I hope I can run around like that at 60+ yrs of age!
During one of my 2 most favorite ballads (Holiday) I grabbed the TAK and tried to remember how to play it, well I didn't remember, however I fell into a riff, and started singing what came to me that felt right. I wont talk about it until it has more than the 3 lines I kept repeating waiting for the next. the first 3 just fell out of my mouth, and not want I was even expecting to sing. So ill see if it develops. its a nice riff though LOL
CHEERS!

He has had issues with ppl, and he takes things pretty literally. I know I may have shocked him a bit, when he asked us did we have any other writing projects than songs, I sent him one I have been working for a while. Some of the stuff he read blew his mind, I think, and his tone changed a bit in our emails. I also know he has had some personal stuff going on aside form the health.

While this is technically true, knowing how to play them and knowing how to use them are very different things, agree? I can play locrian up and down the fretboard. Using it in a musical way? No idea.
That is true of all things, though. No point having the most awesome set of tools in the universe if you're the worst carpenter in the world.
Well heck by that logic Jerome, I shouldnt have but one guitar either, but lets not forget the FUN of it to.

much prefer the acoustic version,it`s got everything going for it.
Thanks, though I know the heavy one can be better, I tried to do it to a drum loop at 110 BPM but kept getting lost either vocally or rhythmically. and said to heck with it. I do better with a live drummer who can judge my pace and then we lock in and i then can listen to him.
That acoustic was done just sitting at the desk and phone right in front of me

I just made two attempts to record my own song,,,, i had to stop, after hearing everyone else take it to places I cant seem to reach its very difficult to get done. the bar is set and I must rise to meet it as best I can. and trying to record while not playing and singing out just is not cutting it. (This is when I wish I had a producer to get the best out of me and to know how to record the tracks!)
