OMG! Now I'm having flash-backs to those friends that had one of those odd combo organs! ?

When I first moved to Huntington Beach California back in 1987, I could exit the front door of my apartment, cross the complex access road, and go through a gate in a wall that put me at the back door of a bar that was part of a strip mall. This turned out to be the same small bar that Jim Everett (who's a few months older than me and is famous for the staged "Christ Everett" scene on the Jim Rome show) would go to. He always went with his left guard, Tom Newberry, who was very offensive and caused a lot of the problems there! He was always throwing peanuts at people and pissing them off, at least until they turned around a saw a guy who's 6'2" 285 lbs. staring back at them! ?

At least they won't have to clean that toilet often.

You'd be far more creative if you were limited Michael. (See that other fred for more information on this! ? )

More cats, fewer girls? ?

Sorry, Larry took them all! ?

Isn't that the answer to the question of "How do I make things all crash in the loudspeakah?" ?

It's all about the mix, but you might not want this before using the bus... ?

I've had Tim's video up ever since this thread started back in early September and have watched it a few times. I've also thrown my guitar away. I mean what's the point? ? Awesome stuff @Lord Tim! ?? When (if??!?) I ever get paid, I'm thinking I'll have to add the discography to my music collection. ?

Spammer lesson 101: Join the target forum and pretend to fit in before introducing what you are really selling. ? (Oh, and we prefer "N00bs"! ? )

I actually have a line of t-shirts that I never got around to setting up for sale. I may have to look into that! That line looks pretty nice! Funny, but informative as well!

Weird. I put that reply in yesterday, but it wasn't there today! Oh, well!

But, if I can break from my usual expected replies and be serious for a moment ( ), I've always looked at musical education as a stool with multiple legs: Music Theory (notes, keys, scales, chords, chord progressions, harmony, melody, etc.) Instrument Knowledge (how it's setup, how it's used, how to tune it, how to play it, how to maintain it, etc.) Physical Training (muscle memory, body preparation like stretching exercises for flexible fingers, repetitive exercises, etc.) Ear Straining Training (perfect pitch, relative pitch, etc.) All legs need to be incrementally lengthened to keep the stool somewhat balanced. For example, having blazingly fast fingers isn't going to be useful if you don't know what notes to play! Actually, one area that's crucial that I didn't include (and that I have difficulties with! ? ) is developing a good sense of timing and rhythm. Another is how to deal with issues like performance anxiety. I'm sure we all know someone who's insanely talented until you hit record or they try to play for others; then they lock up and can even get physically sick! Finally, in the beginning, it's very important to not go cheap on their first instrument! Nothing kills the motivation to learn and be interested like trying to play on something that's almost unplayable to begin with! A guitar with sharp-edged frets and strings that are about 1/2" above the fretboard comes to mind. Ok! I'm done with my diversion! ?

Just Beat It? ?
