DEFINITELY, but one thing I know, being a pro, you are always a half step away from one that works. On the guitar, it's 'bend that string'.

There are countless ways of covering up a mistake so the audience doesn't know, if I gig long enough, I might learn them all.

I ended up with even more respect for Prince when I found out he somehow ended up playing the 2007 Superbowl Halftime Show with a guitar that had been tuned a half-step wrong!  He managed to bend every note to the correct pitch on the fly as soon as he realized it!  Dayum!!! 😮

As guitar is my 7th instrument, I only use standard tuning. Anything else would be an invitation to play even more wrong notes. 

 

 "Wrong Notes Norton???" 🤔

Happy Saturday everybody! Today is a very special day for me. At 4:28 this morning, my left test*cle finally descended. After 54 years!  🥳

So, if u come upon a challenge today that seems too big to overcome, just think of my left test*cle and NEVER give up! 

Anyway, Im glad u guys could share this special moment with me. Have an awesome Saturday! 

What?  Are you nuts now??? 🤔

Q: "Can you tell who the blind guy is in the nudist colony?"

A: "It's not hard."

I still have all of those thanks to adopting my parent's collection!

Those with the most birthdays tend to live longer!

He popped in on his birthday.

I only use these...

Of which I am not one!  LOL.  This looks about as easy as rocket surgery, ya? 🤣
 

Nothing wrong with making a sign that says that Bob!

Time is a wonderful teacher!  Unfortunately, it kills all its students...

But u know what?  I don't really care anymore. The older I get, the less I care about material things. We cant take it with us when we pass on.

A certain very popular and very hated billionaire once said "Until you've lost everything, you don't know what's important and who your friends really are!" and he was right!

 A line I heard a while back... "Hearses don't come with trailer hitches!" 😆

How many of you have recorded a version of Cinnamon Girl? 🙋‍♂️

Me!  Unfortunately, one of the many songs I lost thanks to a dead hard drive and a failed Panasonic CD/PD...  Oh, well!  Still one of my most played songs when I pick up a guitar though.

So, they Triumphed? 🤔

I'm waiting until the details settle.  Apparently, Gene said something to the effect of he was anticipating all of his family to be offed!  Etc., etc.

U still have that head Craig? 

Lost everything in 2009 thanks to a lot of illegal financial stuff that happened while I was off working on a PhD...  Lost two houses, my music studio (that I had sunk $134k into!), a vehicle, and about a million dollars.  My luthier bought back one of my custom guitars and the one in my thumbnail had been paid for, but not built, so I eventually got it.  Other than that, I have relatively nothing left musically!  And, if I don't find a job soon, it will be nothing.  Yay, life!

I used to do Beta Testing for Line6 and had a bunch of their gear!  I even had Mike Soldano mod my '79 Marshall JMP to have a preamp (and more!) so it would sound like the Marshall Line 6 used!  I will say that a Steinberger and a Pod kidney bean fit great together on an Airplane overhead though!

I'll save the pics for another thread. 😉

LOVED that demo Rain!

Aren't those beads used for...  Oh, nevermind!

This story started out weird and is REALLY getting even more out there! 

Why is page 933 almost a complete duplicate of the previous page?  (#932!)
