Re: I Spy...A Guitar! (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I always notice what kind of guitar someone is playing.Happy days for example,I like to see what guitars they use when they sing?Old Elvis movies are another source.That thing you do,one of them(steve zahn)has a silvertone exactly like mine.A lot of old movies and tv shows are like that.Whenever there is a band playing,they usually have some cool instruments.

I agree. I just heard over an alternative radio station, Bela Fleck and the Flektones playing a "Charlie Brown Christmas". It was awesome. I love classical christmas tunes on guitar.
As for certain tunes I loath and despise....Little Drummer Boy tops the list. And now added to it, is the car commercial that uses, "It's the most wonderful time of the year." As in; "It's the most wonderful sale of the year."
Thank GOD for mute buttons. GGGRRRRRRRRRR
That car commercial is for NISSAN,I hated it the minute I saw it

I tried to teach myself.Then I took lessons for 2 years.Then I took a night course in 1987 at Fitchburg High School hoping to learn to read.The teachers told me I was wasting my time because I was too far ahead of the rest of the class

Re: My sob story (35 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Don`t let a few mean spirited people keep you from doing what you like.Not just guitar either. I come from a family like that.The only thing that kept me going is that I never cared what anyone thought of me.I always kept out of trouble and try to be nice to others(no matter what).That way I can be sure it is nothing I do(for the most part). If you are playing by yourself,dont worry how it sounds and dont let a bunch of mean people sway your playing.Keep in mind that just because someone is churchgoing,doesn`t mean they are automatically nice.Those are the same values I push on my own daughter.What I have is a nice well behaved young lady who is welcome at any of my relatives houses anytime.Oh and she also plays guitar,bass,ukelele and some keyboard. Hope that helps.

Re: Can't get it all together. (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Take your time and practice practice practice.When you get done,practice more.Keep your eyes on the prize and don`t think of it as a chore.If you screw up with yourself,don`t worry. I can play and sing together but my voice is so awful that all the neighborhood dogs probably start howling.Eventually you will notice you are doing it no problem. Try doing it freely at first then throw in upstrums or different fills.It will happen.Don`t get discouraged

Re: String Sound? (New Guitar, Advice Would Be Much Appreciated) (8 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Isn`t a new set of strings part of a setup anyways.A good setup may do wonders,especially on an epiphone.Epiphones are notorious for being poorly set up.They also come to life really nice when they are setup well.Good luck on yours

Re: Gary Glitter Songs (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I do know Gary Glitter`s story.He is not exactly a pillar to the community.I`m sure there are other songs if you want to get people going in a good way.Perhaps" NA NA,HEY HEY KISS HIM GOODBYE". Just a thought-Gary Glitter was all over the news here,so I can imagine the press he recieved over there.

Re: GAS Antidote (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
How about a wife.That can be a cure for GAS.Just remember this equation.Simple math. Wife + GAS = almost a visit from the guitar police.Expressions like"how many guitars can you play","why do you need another amp". If you put that money away that you spend on guitars.....How many of you have heard this?Im sure its the other way around for the ladies too

I spend 12 hours a day in 4 different supermarkets.I have been subject to christmas music all day for the last month.I don`t know if it`s patti page or doris day singing jingle bells.They keep saying "I like the sleigh ride" through the whole song.I will not miss that song one bit.

A great book to read about the Rolling Stones is "Symphony for the devil".My girlfriend(now my wife) bought it in 1986 and I was glued to .She didn`t care for it.It has pictures and everything.If a book can hold my interest it has to be good(a. d .d)There are doorknobs with higher attention spans than me.Either way,I don`t know if it is still in print or not.It has a lot of info.

Re: Wish me luck-snapping out of this burnout (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I got it.I don`t know how to put pictures on(or else you would have seen my ugly mug by now).Ive been trying to find chords in standard tuning for it.So far it is fun and I am looking forward to trying it on my Peavey vyper.Right now the holidays are keeping me busy.My idea is to try my daughters death metal pedal on it.Ive been playing for 30 years and it`s like learning all over again.One thing I noticed is I can play it left handed.I`m a lefty but I play righty.(didn`t know there was such thing as a left handed guitar when I started).So far it looks like fun.

Re: Bands you just can't stand (50 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I was looking way back and this caught my eye.Here are some . Nickleback -A station in Worcester(wxlo) plays them all the time. Hootie and the blowfish- Tune your radio dial and try not to hear them playing when you do.Another wxlo regular. Richie Havens- He did here comes the sun at woodstock.I just dont like his singing and playing. Bon Jovi- another sound I don`t like. Please take note.I said I just don`t like their music. I didn`t say they played or sang awful.If they did they wouldn`t be getting overplayed. I just don`t like them.
