I think all of us with young familys feel the pain as you do.. In my case its too late to play anything except my electric with the headphones on. yea its fun for a little while, but not as fulfilling as an amp and room ambiance.

Re: SKYPE (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I don't care if Skype/Microsoft listens in, as long as they aren't watching when I get drunk and rowdy and start taking the extra layers of clothes off (LOL - kidding guys - if you've been with us on skype, I generally start with a sweater and move down to MAYBE a t-shirt if drinking enough Jack to warm me! ha ha).
So I should do an instagram delivery with a 5th of Gentleman Jack?
I hope you make it as I have not met you in a skype yet.

Zurf, from what I read, its going to stay mainly the way it is,, with this one exception,,,,
"There was a wildly terrifying story published late Friday on Slate that didn’t get much attention because of the time of the week it was released.
In it, the author – Ryan Gallagher – lays out how Microsoft (MSFT) seems to have made some subtle and (to most) imperceptible changes to the popular Skype calling service that allows it to eavesdrop on all of your calls going forward. (Forbes contributor Anthony Wing Kosner flagged the service changes in an earlier post published July 18.)
Although it’s not completely clear, some seem to think that Microsoft may have made the changes either from or in anticipation of pressure from various government entities.

So do we care if we fill up their data banks with our music and our drink infused humor? Some might, but I dont. They already have access to our free mail accounts if they want,
If there is is anyone who remembers the movie Sereinty, Mr. Universe can be quoted here. I have taken the liberity of combining two of them : There is no news. There is only the truth of the signal. You can't stop the signal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere. --- Now all we need is to find the actual personification of a Mr.Universe.

I'm hoping to hit the river tomorrow morning for some pre-frontal fishing. I'll probably wade so that I can get the heck out of there a lot quicker than a boat would permit. I always wear a life jacket when I wade, but tomorrow morning I'll be especially careful.

add a long rope so you can pull against the current or at least get pulled to the shore. We dont wanna hear how you got washed out to sea. an if weather passes,, maybe do some skype sat night or sunday? I have not picked up a guitar in a while. Im not counting the 2 hours of banging out power chords with my headphones on at 2 am. lolo,lolol

Baldguitardude wrote:Are you looking to recreate the solo exactly or jam out original stuff on it?
either way, it sounds like a mixolydian scale to me.
A mixolydian?
There are 2 guitars, but I kinda want to play it as exactly as possible.
You see there are 3solo's in the song. The first 2 are just 1 guitar, so I guess the 3rd one will be 1 guitar aswell?
http://gosk.com/scales/mixolydian-scale-for-guitar.php shows it

Jerome,
You could also just video your lessons like Russ said and drop box is free up to 2 gigs. eve if your doing the live tutorials, it would be cool to have it on camera so we would have a video reference.. Cause I can tell ya ill be a day later going "NOw what did he say and where do I do it from?"

Re: Home Studio Recording (31 replies, posted in Recording)
you can select the mic source the driver could be designated but I am unsure of how to do it
richeverman wrote:Can you select the audio source or driver to be used with the camera?
I have a very cheap web cam (12 bucks), but it has a option in "setup" to choose its USB mic or Line. I have not used it to make a vid, but for skype sessions, I run my Berhinger studio mic to my Berhinger 802 mixer and then from the outs to the line in on the sound card. This way you can tweak the EQ for what is going into the vid or skype.
I would like to add my Welcome to the loony bin also. This is the greatest site you can find for guitar. I would also like to mention that if you watch the general forum, you will see on occasion, Skype jams. There are a few people who have the premium accounts and can host up to 10 people for what is basically a campfire jam where each person takes a turn playing a song. We all hear some music, give encourragement, some helpful suggestions, and just a bit of laughter and beverages.

I am probably the most inexperianced and bargain bin home studio guy here,, most of it baffels me, I bought Cakewalk 3 about 4 yrs ago (at least I think its 3) loaded it to my laptop and gave up. same with reaper. I just need someone working beside me to get it all. I read and read and it just doesnt connect all the dots. So I also use audacity. I would also like to learn about the vidio stuff Russel talked about for my son to use.
I would like to hear your music. You can send the link to me by sending a e-mail. Once again WELCOME

Re: Changing strings (16 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Yep fast fret and stringez, are nice. If you look at the ingrediants,, it pretty much just mineral oil,,, So if you want to save yourself some money,, get a bottle of MO and a nice chammy. you can clean strings and fret bd at same time.(mo on mo off with seperate cloth.) if you want the lemon smell,, get a bottle of essiential oil lemon and put a coupple drops in.
Fast fret is preinpregnated cotton wadding with MO and string ease is MO with a little sent added.
I have looked up a few different guitar care sites. it is almost an even split between mineral oil and pure lemon oil. I have been using either or. Have not noticed anything that would be called detrimental.
