Just found this all "chick" band. I commented on one of the vids, " Love chick bands that just kill it. Good sound and production. A little Runaways, a little 80s glam, with a good dose of Slash and AC/DC style."
+ they are not all "slut-suited" out jeans and T-shirts.

Give them a listen. good musicianship also.

Topic: BLINK (0 replies, posted in Poems)
In the moment between what we see and know to be real, and that other moment,
The one in which subconscious takes over,
do you find there is yet a third moment?
STOP, BLINK. BLINK AGAIN.
Did you feel it. It was right there. In that BLINK.
What does it show you. How long do you want it to last,
Sometimes we blink and nothing happens, Sometimes we try and hold it so it won't go away
In that moment we hide our most valued secrets. Our truest pain , our hottest passions
BLINK
What do you see?

Thanks for the welcome back. I've actually been back to playing for a couple years now. No pain in my hand,just a frozen joint on my index finger but as I said I've been able to work around it. The pain involved was getting calluses to build on top of the scar tissue and since then it's been fine. I've also semi-retired so I've been playing more in the last couple years than I had for quite awhile. Purchased a small PA and have hooked up with a good friend who is an amazing guitarist. We've played a couple small parties and it seems like we may try to get some actual paying gigs. Neither of us have a great voice but with some electronic help (love that vocal harmonizer) we don't sound too bad. I'm looking forward to the Pa. gathering as it's only a couple hours from me and New York and Va aren't that far either. I've had a small gathering here the last couple years with people I'd been in bands with and people I just jam with. Nothing big, only goes for a day( or less,depending how many adult beverages are consumed) but it's a lot of fun. We'll have to see how things play out but I would love to set up a Clarion River jam. There's a small town right on the river where a building with a full kitchen can be rented for a small fee and is only 20-30 minutes from I-80. The river is fairly shallow there which keeps powered boats away allowing swimming,tubing, fishing and canoes. Lots of camping available (Cooks Forest State Park ) and hotels are close also. So if there would be any interest let me know and maybe set up for sometime in June. It could be a lot of fun and with everything there is too do there even the kids should be happy. keep on pickin
You need to talk with Amy as she had her gathering up in NY. The BYG (Back Yard Gathering), Dont forget, there is also Chordiestock around the March time Frame down in Tampa if you need to get out of the cold

Re: NPD (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Congrats on the pedal! Berhingers may be a knock off company, but I have some of their stuff and love it! There is also the Digitech BP90 that's great for DI. My son has an older one i think its a BP 50 or something, takes battery's also (none of their other multi boxes do in the RP line), either way it really sounds good right into the PA or the dinky Fender bass amp we have.
Jerome- WAS THAT ALL THAT WAS WRONG? LOLOL what about the new one he cant get working?

Re: FL Studio 12 Producer Edition (Fruity Loops) (6 replies, posted in Recording)
Jerome -- From what I have read they have upgraded many of the features you speak about. I also looked up on you tube track assignments and how to record the guitar into it. For now its all bought and paid for, so if he truly gets into it deep, we can upgrade then. I still have Reaper on the puter, and still cant figure it out LOL. So for me, FL is still a step up from Audacity.
Amy -- WILL DO 
( He actually found FL with a buddy in TX and they played around with it.)

I am not a MOD but from talking to some, I don't think the owner of the site is going to do anything. There is a workaround, you can download the free version of Songster and copy and paste and it will take care of it for you, So its what I have done. is it a little inconvenient? Yes. Does it bother me? Nope. ITS ALL FREE. If I paid, yes I would be upset.

Welcome back! I think I remember talking to you about the Ovation 12 string I was given a few years ago. As you say there are work arounds, Like the Root 5 of F and C, and most all major or minor chords. The beauty of Power chords.

I have had no problems with face book, Dino,change your security settings.. I cant believe this . I read everything in here. and none of its offensive. Come on MOD, time to loosen the collar a bit. No dirty words have been put on here as they relate to the public tv censorship rules. Joey has always been on the edge of what ppl call "not in line with normal trends", however I have never seen him be out of line in chordie.

Topic: FL Studio 12 Producer Edition (Fruity Loops) (6 replies, posted in Recording)
My son asked for this for Christmas, (Grandma is buying it for him) He wants to create beats (who knew, not the drummer, but my older son who plays guitar). I looked into it and its got great reviews and a ton of vids on You Tube to learn from. My Neighbor (Joe, who I showed you his vid link and played guitar with) uses this for his main workstation also.
Has anyone else used FL Studio?
He is also getting a Behringer C1U usb mic, shock mount holder, pop screen and some desk top mic stands. (they look a little small in the box, so if it doesn't work Ill use them for micing (sp) speakers and get him one that looks like a desk lamp he can clamp on his desk.
His birthday is a few days later, So I found a great deal on a midi keyboard controller that a lot of ppl have given good reviews on for use with FL.
If he gets board with all this, the bonus is I can play with it too!

Re: I *HATE* The Sunburst Finish..... (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I had not really thought about it till you brought it up and had to think on it for a few days, LOL As I reviewed my guitars in the house I realized we have a tobacco burst AXL Strat, an Xaviere orange burst acoustic single cutaway, The TAK is sort of a tobacco burst also, and we have a orangeish burst Bass. SOOOO I guess we like burst! LOLOLOL
My favorite is a Less Paul style with the redburst, or any that replicate any of ACE's guitars. (Maybe the Xaviere honey burst flamed maple XV555 )

Re: Bassists? (19 replies, posted in Electric)
JIM,
As Phill mentioned, it really depends on how deep you want to go, country bass is different from rock bass, (hence my relating the stuff with Jerome and the 4ths). Rock bass can really just play the root notes in a rhythmic pattern like you would play rhythm guitar (Least thats what I always do) also playing the octave of the same note (still working on that)
As I mentioned punk its pretty much roots at a faster pace, (Ramones, Sex Pistols) then you have the Clash style of punk which is almost Ska and its more funk soul oriented. Jazz bass
So really its all about how you desire to play it. Here are a few links to my favorite bass guys (there are a lot but for pure genious and rock steady pure love and glory, this is my top 5)
5 Flea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAsjR99Bu3s
4 Steve Harris _ I know this is harder than yo are looking for but just listen to the bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6D9R38aqj0
3 Billy Sheehan (the Steve Vi of 80s bass) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30YT0cG2EkE
2 Stu Ham - just great! LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v11t2Rcb3c And he gets 2 ,cause man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnq3ZW6OyTI
1 John Entwhistle jump to 0:35 on the time line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm2SjldKp3Y (He was pioneer rock bassist!)
There are soooo many more I have not even got close to, but these are the guys I know best.
One honorable mention to a SOOO Criminally underrated bass player goes to IAN Hill from Judas Priest , Never a flashy guy, always just behind in the mix from the guitars, but he has so much going behind the guitars you really dont catch unless you are looking for it. jump to 24:23 for victim of change simple yet great, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cXuozPcOKI (and Halfords voice is not sounding good isolated either, but thats the beauty of of full band too LOL) This whole show has been isolated.

Re: I Guess I Owe The Squier Company An Apology (20 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
What you need to look at is that these do not actually have Duncan's in them, they are Duncan Designed (still they sound really good from the ones I have played with in the shop) If they were actually Duncans you could add about 300 to the price tag. Just looking this up the guitar ranges from 225 to 299. It is still a great guitar
OH an a comment on the Squire lines, the lowest quality line is the "Bullet" VERY entry level.
CHEERS
