Thats what layered guitars are for LOLOL, but you know that 
This is a brand new Documentary out last week. check it out on amazon or your favorite provider. soo worth your 2 hours
THIS 20 MIN VID IS AWESOME. but jump to 12:58 to see Rick Neilson from Cheep Trick throw down, and then watch the producer, engineer and David Ghrole's faces as he plays the crap out of Daves guitar.

Hell once I get to Jeffs, I may not be driving either LOLOL
if the price doesnt drastically change, I am getting a rental car and will be arriving around 1130 AM friday, if anyone else is going to be there that early let me know. I amy also be able to do some pick up runs to help out. (its a fiat 500 so not real roomy, but should be fun to drive )
Well now Ill see what all the fuss is LOLOL
happy NGD

I'll have to look for a few C F & G sad songs to put in the Chordie book. I'd like to get some chords to some of Beamers Metal songs so I can try and get my bass licks up to par. I don't think there's enough time for that even for the 2015 Chordiestock, but permit me my delusions.

WOW zurf, Im humbles LOLOL ill send you some of my originals and you and I can sit down and try to hammer them out, im sure you can follow with some fancy root notes and its octive 
I dont write tricky stuff, just loud stuff LOLOL
really Im gonna send you a few originals if you want to play bass. Who has the acoustic bass?
@Jeff Yep I had the idea and my weekend was soaked up detailing a honda accord. I am going to pratice by golly! I just have to get my mind in the right place. I am thinking of bringing my tiny plastic amp and my digitech for the acoustic, it adds a cool variety to stuff. how else do I do the heavy version of sounds of silence? it also has a guitar bass setting to fake a bass. and then I think do I just bring the SG? AHHH decisions! tonight Ill see If I can put together some stuff and send you my "set list" . On that Fri night we will be visiting with my friend Carrie but I hope to get in around 2 pm so we are close enough to do both, and as I mentioned she may just want to hang with us. Or she may take carla out for "Artsy" things to do. BTW she is in clearwater. about 30 min to your place. looks like I go south and hang a right across the bridge and Im at your place LOLOL.

My songbook is printed paper sheets, so I'll have to take a look and see what else I've got (you all know it's a lot of easy stuff).
Dino - I thought about the Epi, although... I don't have a hard case for it. It's a dread, and my Martin is a 000 size. My little classical could fit, but... probably not worth bringing it. I'm going back and forth on bringing the Martin or not. One minute I think yes, the next I think no. LOTS of time for me to go back and forth. It'll likely end up coming with me, as I imagine my hubster will insist that he bought it for me so that I can play it!
AMY, no excuse now, affordable dred cases http://www.guitarfetish.com/Hard-Shell-Cases_c_379.html from 64 up. I feel the same about my Ovation Pacemaker. Ill probably be bringing the 6 string Kamen,, Ill just put INSURANCE on it for 3x its actual value. (you cant even find them on line hardly except other people asking for info on them) If they crush it, well it will suck to loose a 20 + yr old guitar,, but I can buy a brand new one or 2 from guitar fetish to help me over my greif!
Well were getting it, but uncle same is taking a $1100 chunck out of it!
OK next friday is bonus day! That means 2 round trip tickets!!! Confirmed sleeping at Carries house in her guest room, still trying to get her address so I can figure out how far away. Notice I said 2 tickets, Wife is all for it now. She may go wandering off on her own but thats fine too. Now really, Do I chance the 12er to the airlines, or bring my road guitar? (the black Kamen) seeing as how you guys are going to chance your Martins. I also am trying to think of a good set of songs to bring, Of course my standard 10 or so, but have been thinking of a few new ones, Hmmm, I think Carla will have to play photo/vidioographer. Ill have a clean 8 gig chip in our camera and lots of batteries.
So should we post up our standard song list +what we are hoping to learn new and see what all we got? I know Wayne has 100's and can probably teach us less talented players a few things as we go LOLOL,, ill post up a new thread after I compile some ideas.
IS IT FEB YET?????
If you go acoustic electric you reall have teh best of both worlds.
You sound like your ready to drop a lot of $$ on a new guitar. If you can get over the name brand stigma, I think you should really give http://www.guitarfetish.com/Xaviere-Aco … c_361.html a look. These are some pretty awesome guitars and they dont break the bank. You could buy 3 new guitars for one Martin or Taylor. they aslo have great electrics if you wnated just to pick one up for fun. Russes just bought a great Les Paul style guitar from Rhondo music.
However, if you want to spend money on that Martin, Im not saying that sucks either! LOLOL
check out this thread about the guitar I bought my son.

YAY! The Metalizer will be there! I'm pretty personable. The wife should feel comfy, and I have a feeling Lizzy is a GREAT sport too! Also let her know that I've met both Jeff and Zurf (Paul too if he shows), and they are perfect gentlemen and great people. NO other way I'd put myself into the situation of being thousands of miles from home without the hubby with me and a ton of men around. GOOD GUYS and she'll love them too!!
yep Im looking fwd to meeting you finally, would like to meet Jim also but we cant have it all.

iF YOU WANT AN GREAT SOUNDING GUITAR AS A BACK UP YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT XAVIER GUITARS FROM GUITAR FETISH. BOUGHT ONE FOR MY SON AND ITS A GREAT SOUNDING GUITAR WAY HIGHER QUALITY THAN i IMAGINED FOR 140 BUCKS. THEY HAVE SOME HIGHER PRICED ONES AROUND 225. BUT THEY ARE GREAT!
sorry for the caps I got excited LOLOL and dont feel like rewriting.
For thoes of you who have not seen it on FB, I have started a Auto Detailing side line. I had my first customer this past Sat and have my second this Sat.
I hope to have a nice WOM buisness going in year. It will not replace my real job, but its a service I enjoy doing.

I have a friend who is a great artist and has done commercial art also. Once he hooks me up with an awesome logo, the current one will change and I will have a more professional look.
Zurf wrote:Shirt's not a guarantee yet. Most likely I'll have them printed and sent to Jeff. You can pay me at the event. I'll need to know three things:
1. Your size
2. Whether you want a name on the back
3. If you want something on the back, whether you want your handle, your actual name, or what.
The T shirts are Hanes beefy tees in men's sizes. I might be able to get ladies sizes, which I realize is of no use to Beamer, but Liz and Mekidsmom might appreciate it.
size 2Xl
Handel on back , well I never thought of that, you know I want "THE METALIZER" on there!
"I might be able to get ladies sizes, which I realize is of no use to Beamer" -- Hey does this shirt make me look fat??

LOLOLOL Great, Im just not gonna send my non replaceable Pacemaker through the mail or the airlines.
(maybe we should do Jeff a favor and bring a new set of strings with us for the 12)
this link may help

My advice is to get a zoom, digitech, or line6 pod. they interface with your PC/MAC. You have more options than you would normaly use + drum machine with the digitech. You can pick them up used or the RP255 new for around 150, any digitech lower than the 250 (the predacessor) will not interface. not to mention you have a user library of over 1000 patches to work with also.
To put your guitar into the puter you need either a cable like they sell for rocksmith, or a 1/4 to 1/8 patch and run into your sound card.
This year I plan on buying Rocksmith as its a great tool and keeps praticing fun, not to mention it has the effects your talking about in it also. I have not read favorable review on the PC versions,, so im going with Xbox.
Hope this helps!
Scott.
Jeff can I play the 12er too? LOLOL
im in for a shirt also, but prefer designs on the front if that matters at this point. who needs the money sent to them?
the major scale and major and minor pentatonic. the pentatonic is the mother of all blues and rock scales.
COUNT ME AND THE WIFE IN!!!!!
I ASKED HER TODAY AND ALL SHE WANT S TO KNoW IS IF OTHER LADIES WILL BE THERE! As soon as the bonus check gets here, should be this week! Ill buy the tickets. After that Its just logistics and deciding what guitar how much seet music to ship to Jeff's via UPS. Time to start practicing! Time to get one of my guitar cases two broken hinges fixed!
Oh I told her Amy ws going to be there and Wayne an his wife and maybe Lena, and that if she got too bored with us on the guitars, Idd call my friend Carrie to take her around the town.
So I think giving up my motorcycle rally in mar is well worth it since last year was not too good, I am now officially psyched! ( If she bails at the time of buying tickets, then BY GOD IM STILL ON MY WAY!)
I think I would add some foam around the wood. Ihats a pretty rough wood to wood surface, but the Idea is solid
I just gotta do my best to make it! I want to actually meet with all you guys! I also have two friends , one I have mentioned before, whome I have not seen a a very long time.
I left a post on ones wall on FB asking if they knew the london buss pub. still waiting to hear back,
Well Phill,
Aint that the beauty of a stomp box? You can dial the master on the amp to 1 and make it as nasty as you want with the stomp!
