    Same here. I didn't get a single coil guitar until a few years ago.

    I think I may be able to top that one. I still have never played a Gibson Les Paul. I could have played one at Guitar Center but the strings are so crappy and so many distractions I  didn't think it would accomplish anything other than break the streak. I had a pretty nice Epi but never a Gibson. I can't really play with the guitar resting on my leg either. I need a strap. I didn't really have any money for one either so I didn't want to get all hot for one. I will have one someday though. I love Bills new honey!

  2. I can't think of why they wouldn't get below $200 eventually. They keep slowly dropping. I bet that $114 for 1TB is less than some guys around here paid for a 128GB.

    My grandson can whiz though scales and arpeggios. When he picks up his guitar that's what he plays. I asked him to play a song. He started playing bits of a guitar riff from a tune he liked. Then I asked if he knew one melody to any tune. He knew none. Long ago I told him the key to playing music is to know music and how people understand and perceive it.  I said he should learn as many melodies as he could and be able to play them in a singing style. He did not do that. Well all I could think of was an analogy of being able to build a house and everything it involves and having many many tools and not know how to use them.  No matter how many tools you have to build a house, until you know how and  what it takes to build that house you not going to have a house. He smiled shook his head yes. When I left the room he resumed his speed scale workout GEEZER.gif.7f906e70723678ac71499ab42f4d65bc.gif

     

    I think of a solo as an alternative melody with different phrasing and alternative time sigs.

  4. Usually when I see Jazz in a Toontrack midi title I cringe. Probably wont be versatile enough for me to get any use out of them. Most of both these could be used for almost anything. Tame the kick and there could be hip hop in the drums. In the keys I hear Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald. Plenty of lite rock, jazz, pop, AOR. Some like the midi to point strongly to certain sounds. I like the hint. I can take it from there. I have a 6 pack of each for 4 to 5 months waiting to be used. They are 5 packs now.
