SIMPLISTIC
11/22/14
C F
Running in a frame of life
C G
Not always knowing how to make it out
C F
Never thought I would play it safe,
C F
I just look around ,
C G
playing it safe is all I see,
Am Dm Am Em
Where is the rebel in me?
It is not who I thought I would be,
I love my life even when there is strife,
I just don’t know where is the me,
The one I thought I would be
Some times he makes it out,
no one can hear its chime,
All along I want to be much more,
Much more than I can find
So filled with uncertainty
Oh hell lets make it
Ballistic, hedonistic, a statistic
I guess we will just keep it simplistic

I know there are plenty out there as rock guys use them all the time switching between electric and acoustic,, but they are for standing.

Re: Meatball surgery (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
well all the glue has held and the strings are on. It is as good as it ever was. Now I just need to have the set up and frets looked at. The truss rod has soeme thing funky that I have never seen going on,,,(and I have thus far for 20+yrs let it alone) but I really do not like the fret buzz and after playing my sons,, its fighting me now. So time to finally get around to it! LOLOL

Topic: Meatball surgery (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
last night I decided to attempt the repairs on my Kamen.
This is the best pic I could get. Its the under side of the face right by the neck joint.its loose where the T is and then the fwd to aft pc is 1/2 loose. I finally had some deep yet small C clamps so I gathered up the clamps some Gorilla Wood Glue, and a syringe. OH btw that mess you see hanging there is factory glue. I think I got it all done. lots of glue used! LOLOL
also had a stringer in tthe aft aprt from hole to back that fell off.same process just no pics, also loaded a big zip lock with cat litter to sit on it and press it down. Pics on the inside of a guitar are not easy LOLOL
bought some Martin Marquis lights for it (.012 - .054) to test it out. Still need some action adjusted and some frets leveled but at least now I hope to play my long time traveling companion. I am thinking of deglosing it, make it all Matte.
OH iI also did do the degloss of the back of the neck as seen in in frudas vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxGz6IZ … ePqXOJBgXw
I did this to my SG as well as the Kamen.
OK as soon as its restrung ill post a update!

Re: Why do you like the music you like? (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Since most of the readers of this thread are the regulars, you guys know me. I love a story, from the 70s till now. I love the harmony and do wop of the 50s. I guess I’m rooted in the blues based styles. I appreciate the complexity of classical, I like to hear it for a short time, but what I still get off on is some good heavy angst ridden music. I gotta have a voice that can hit the notes and not scream all the time (screamo) but yet be able to carry a melody. I still love "Real County" not the pop crapola they try to push now. Not to say I don’t like modern artist. Jamie Johnson still is one of my favorite current artists (but wish he would trim that scraggly duck dynasty beard! -oh an most everyone else with them, ZZ can keep theirs because they are not following a fad LOLOL)
For what ever reason Ima rocker. Most my acoustic stuff is slow, dark and moody but I try to evoke an image (thank Judas priest and Morrison for that) but I like a few bright major chord songs too LOLOL.
Don’t know if that answers the question or not. CHEERS

I guess for me its blues because all the music I enjoyed in the 60s/70s was derived from the blues and the more I researched the deeper my interest became although a lot of my own stuff that I write now comes out a bit folky and countrified I still feel its mostly rooted in the blues .

WEll I doubt it will pay what i was finally up to. not many places will pay you 35 an hour. Union was a bit sweet that way. I guess time for reality and best im looking at now is 18-20 and 20 is if i'm lucky. but if i can find a closer job i wont be driving a 120 miles a day! so It should cover some of the difference.

Not to look for sympathy, just wanting to let my Chordie Family know that I'm now a statistic. I'm being laid off friday. So there goes my Chordiestock plans. I am hoping I get lucky with a few of the aviation companies around here so that I wont be in the unemployment line too long. I am just happy I was smart enough to hang in my last 5 years of the navy to finish my 20. The positives. Wife has good job and my health Ins is covered. Everyone is healthy, last year or so was all the major dental. Only crappy thing is now I need my eyes done and no vision,,, looks like me and dollar tree reading glasses a bit longer LOLOL It will all work out. I have faith.
I will spend some time also working on the house, and HEY practicing some guitar and maybe getting the 4 or 5 songs recorded I have not done in how long now????
Well Mr. Scott out,
But who will beam me up???

Curt: Yep time to find a new guitar guy. I don't know where your at or what country since you dont post that info. So No one can really steer you in a better direction for help. Have you looked up Luthiers in your area? or a good guitar shop with a good Tech.
