Very nice!

Sorry guys I was wrong...My Behringer set up is this: 5) Full humbucker 4) second hum coil and middle single coil 3) middle coil only. 2) middle coil and neck coil 1) neck coil only.

OK....first of all Mr. Guppy (and I say this in the utmost humor and with a touch of tongue in cheek): I am a freaking beginner and still have issues with the difference betwixt a chord and a cord! To me it is a chord! If it is not then...It is still a chord to me! I know it is s chord because it comes from the "official" Alice in Chains song book I have and the song was written by Mr. Layne Staley (may God Rest His Tortured soul [ I had to say that for the AIC crazies. I liked Staley and all that but Cantrell gets no credit due to him...] himself) so it has to be real!

Secondly: You are most likely right. That is how it is tabbed din the aforementioned book but closer inspection shows NC above the note so...

IT IS NOT A CHORD!

Maybe?

Show off! It looks cooler the other way though!

I must say; I worked through it and I think it was meant to be done the way you say as it goes into an open D. The third finger would just rest as you bring the first and second down to their respective strings.

But it is still cooler may way!

Sometimes you have to do it jsut to play the chord. In Alice in Chain's "Man in the Box" one chord in the chorus goes like this:

3
3
0

How do you play that without going over the top? Not only do you go over the top but you must mute the SECOND string with the thumb!

I wondered why any one would want to wrap their nails to play the guitar. I am a biter and for years have kept my nails short but never bit the nails so short that I did not have any white....Until I started playing. When I started playing I found that the first, middle and ring finger nails were coming off the nail bed. As most of you know it is painful until the nail bed heals. When the nail bed healed I would shorten the nail more and wait until it "delaminanted" again then shorten it again. They are now short enough (on my fretting hand, my strumming/picking hand has nails that are still "regular") that I can fret without them getting in the way and they no longer "delaminate" from the nail bed.

I can see, though, why one would want to strengthen the nails if one want so to have nice nails.

Nice informative video.

The problem I see (in some response to Zurf's post above) is that whether or not they had protocols there is the RIGHT thing to do. Paterno did not do the right thing.

I have always admired Paterno for what I thought were his ethics. I find out he is not much different than many others in the college game. I am amazed and angry that he did not report this to the police. he has an OBLIGATION to do so. I am angry that he did not tell the witness to go directly to the police. Again there was an obligation.

In work that involves contact with children or underage teens there is a certain expectation that certain people MUST act upon what they may see or hear. As a paramedic I am obligated to report possible child abuse and, even elderly abuse. As public workers (and Paterno is a public worker in the employ of the state of Pennsylvania), that are in constant contact with children and underage teens we are obligated to report what we see and obligated to act upon what others see.

Paterno reporting it would have been hearsay but it is the right thing to do. The fact that the assistant (an adult) saw what he says he saw and STILL did not take it upon himself to go to the PROPER authorities makes me wonder about his ability to think on his own.

Both had an obligation to act in this case. Both failed to act and in their inaction further harm was caused. How much money do you think Paterno and that assistant have on hand to pay for the negligence case that will surely arise from this?

Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love". I heard on the radio a few days ago and got home and figured out the chords. Now I am messing with it to make it sound the way I want it to sound.

Apparently I have learned something in the past year!

I am good at some stuff but I don't stand out in much but my work skills. I caught shoplifters for years and am still good at picking out the bad guys. All types. I, due to the aforementioned job, was a good interviewer (interrogation or questioning) and am able to spot a liar very well. I am a good paramedic.

I was good in the post in basketball until my back went bad. I was a fair rock climber until life got in the way. I can do rough woodwork but don't ask that it look pretty. It will be straight and done right it will just be rough. If I think of something to build I can do it as long as I have the materials.

I can drive cars and fire engines better than the average bear. I drive my wife crazy better than anyone. I found out I can hit a volleyball better than my daughters(Both of them play competitively). I have the lung capacity of an "Olympic swimmer" based on what I have been told by three physical fitness assessors.

I sit around real well if I can. I am best at that.

"They" will do anything to get you to buy. Anyone wonder why phones, computers, cars, etc...must undergo constant changes? Does 4G make you talk better over the phone? Does that PC game have to have the best vid card out there to work?....Just so you can see more trash on the virtual ground or more leaves on those virtual trees? Used to be that to Call of Duty required you to be able to see your virtual enemies and shoot the crap out of them. The game has required stronger and stronger computers one still cannot do anything better than defeat ones virtual enemies with a gun, knife or nade. The greater GFX processing power is needed to be able to see the fleas on the dogs that go running by.

Why is it that my '05 Honda Civic, which is now paid off, is not as good as this years Honda Civic? The engine is the same and the HP is the same. Mine is older but still gets better mileage than this years ( 40 mpg to 38 mpg). I guess I could get one with the 14,000K Gig computer that tells someone where I am and tracks my driving habits (How is that good?), and can tell me where to go...But then why did I get my 4G phone and Ipad with the navigation apps? I guess I could use those while I walk in my $200 Nike Air Pillow Walkers with the lumbar support and the blinking red lights or while riding my GT mountain bike with 25" of travel on the front and 15" of travel on the back in Joshua Tree's Wonderland of Rocks...

Am I the only 45 year old out there that is tired of being told my newest is not good enough just two weeks later? I'm not a Luddite, I love technology, but does it have to change so quickly? How about we make what we have better before we go on to the next thing?

Sorry....Getting off the soapbox.

Not so fast. I am still hoping to buy my friend's Schechter Diamond CR-1. If I get my way I will then have two...and won't give either one up.
