Russel is correct Audacity is the easiest to use, but you can also downlioad Reaper.  Its on the level of protools.  you get the whole prog free no lock out features.  look them up also.  (its just a steeper learning climb)

So you watch CASTLE?  in one episode there is a great scene with him and his daughter doing the same thing.  It is a question right up there with "Does the dryer eat my socks?"

When a rocker and a folk guy team up! Check out the songwriting section for Beamer and Jets60 :-)

Jets wrote the last 2 verses and came up with the arrangement, I just asked for a minor Key that was not in my normal rut.,, I am working on the heavy rooted 5ths and maybe some Tri-Tones for it (If I can figure them out!!!- this is where a lot of lessons would have been nice!!!),, It will also most defiantly be a half or whole step down.  Think "The wizard" by Black Sabbath.

OH yes, anyone else notice 13 is number one on the charts?  I found a few more songs on YT, Man is it a great CD!

I live on the gulf coast of Florida, which everyone thinks is so unbearably  hot in the summer. Thing is I've been traveling to Texas regularly for the past few months. Living on the water keeps the temps relatively moderate, generally high 80's to low 90's here on the beach. A beating afternoon sun in Austin or Houston when it's pushing 100 with absolutely no breeze makes me glad to come home to the relative cool of FLA! The heat in Texas has been brutal and it's only gonna get worse.

My sister lived near Dallas for 5 years the weather is real odd there as it can change in a real short amount of time. Most Texans say if you do not like the weather now wait a bit and it will change.

Since Friday the weather here in N.Texas has been awesome!  No higher than 100 during the day, 70s at dusk till dawn.  This cold front is supposed to be here for the week.  It was only 88 at 3 pm.

On one or two of my acoustics, I removed the nut and sanded it down some,, but Its risky.  My opinion,
Take it to a good shop. let them fix it. what ever it cost, its cheeper than busting your guitar.

Ill never forget being 15 and Nailing Stairway.  6 of us in a VW bug riding home from school. Me in front seat with my female neighbor on my lap.  I was so tired (a bit stoned) and the song came on.  I thought I was singing to myself.  song ended, I looked up and everyone in the car was silent and staring at me.  Has not happened since.

I used to use them all the time. They are the best. The reason I stopped is because they changed the packaging. 2 strings in one bag doesen`t do it for me.

That never bothered  me, one thin and one thick, no prob.  For the 12 I just ordered the strings from Musicians friend and took them to the shop.  Im growing into the sound, but I think next I need to go to a Medium set.

The main thing is to break down the bacteria.  Vinegar works, but do you want your truck to smell like granny's water bottle?

"Yes, vinegar DOES kill many bacteria and viruses, including many very dangerous ones that can be in food such as E. Coli O157:H7. It is probably good to use in the kitchen and other places that you may be worried about harsher chemicals like bleach getting into food."
Pine sol is really crap in my book (no offense) but after using it for so long in the navy, it just really is a load of BS.  Cover smell but nothing else and this proves what I figured on all those years.
"Pine sol actually does not kill bacteria...
it doesn't even inhibit the growth of bacteria at all.
in a recent experiment conducted. i tested 3 different concentrations of pine sol and compared it to bleach
at full concentration, pine sol didn't inhibit growth at all. whereas bleach completely killed it.
at 44% dilution, pine sol still hadn't stopped bacterial growth, whereas bleach still managed to kill of bacteria.
at 12.5% concentration, pine sol, had actually allowed the colonies of bacteria to grow even closer together to mimic the "lawned" streaks. bleach had still managed to kill bacteria at 12.5%
it should be kept in mind that in a standard lab, 10% bleach is used to sterilize and kill bacteria.
i hope that answers your question, pine sol, actually doesn't inhibit the growth, nor kills it, but allows it to grow"

Collidal or the stuff I put on  will do it and smell better. lol

Saturday (the 22nd) I took my boys to check out the SC1.  The oldest one like it but ended up being GASED by a Ibanez RG something. Its $400.00  I told him well, there is your goal, start trying to earn the money.  He wants to sell his Dean V.  I told him no. For one thing they do not resell for much and are hard to sell off.  The other thing is I told him is that its a heck of a ROCKER!  When He gets older and wants to do a talent show or is in a band, he will want that V slung low and ready to go :LOL:  Trying to not let him make the mistakes I made with my guitars!

The youngest found a cool Bass and plugged it into a Mesa Bass amp stack (100W and 1700 bucks!).  He really dug the full sound.
I told him once he gets some real lessons, we would look into upgrading his amp to at least a 20 or30W, but he would have to earn it also.  (That kid can save his money and will get that goal faster than his brother I can guarantee it)

Its a GITJO.
I tried to talk my wife into one when she was HE!! bent on a Banjo.  Now she has a banjo and for 3 years it’s been sitting in a case doing nothing.  If she had gotten the gitjo, then hell I would be playing it, able to teach HER how to play it and my Son could be using it!

Ooops sorry, this is not about me LOLOL I say if you want it get it. I love how the banjo is creeping into modern rock! Check out Volbeat’s new CD, in particularly a song called Doc Holliday.  Banjo all through it,, it could be a gitjo,, who knows??

ALEVE!!
AND A COLD BEER.
The finger exercise is a good idea. I find Icy Hot sticky; the other way to try it is get a hand towel. Soak it in the hottest tap water, ring it out, fold in half and fold again. Place hands in the middle and let the hot steam work into your fingers.  It’s a poor mans hot wax treatment.   Your hands will feel much better after.
