The best thing about music theory is once you learn how to put it to work for you in your music it is no longer a theory .😉 Kenny

The topic of humans establishing deep bonds and establishing various forms of intimate relationships with A I style human skinned hybrid robots will be a hot topic for decades to come . I wound up watching a new to me TV series called The Accused . The series finally closed last week with a story of a music producer that was too busy to meet her musician husbands needs so she brought him home a life like A I emulation of a female prototype $ex companion .. Here's the link to the episode . Accused S2 E 8 Megan's Story https://www.fox.com/watch/314891b29e5c165c0f351f328b750a34/ Kenny PS gone are the days when we need to use a bicycle pump to inflate a plastic date 💋

When I lived in New York the amount of known musicians /people I met was staggering .I miss those days for sure . As far as your question No . I have not meet Skunk Baxter Yet I did meet Walter Becker one time when I sold him some effects pedals . I did meet and hung out with Elliot Randal in and out of the studio a few times .In addition to that I went over to his apt I was with a friend to sell him the Tele style Red Vulcan Guitar he played often ... While there , and while playing the rosewood Strat with a neck Hum-bucking pick up he played on The Reeling in The years solo I made the mistake of telling him how much I preferred the Maple Neck on my 58 Strat .....and It went all down hill from that point on...me and my big mouth ... The straw that broke the camels back is when we jammed ...I backed him up great and he was digging it the thing is I had a wild hair growing out of my A$Z and I went all Wild West The fastest guitar in town on him as a guest in his own house . ....Once I went there it was only a matter of time before he stood up and started yelling at me to get the eff out of his house while screaming I'm not gonna put up with this ...he threw me out ...after that day for a long while my phone didn't ring 😉 Kenny

Egads ! I never saw that ending coming . Oh Higher Power ! Hear my supplication . Please Let her be OK . Kenny

I'm coming to get you Captcha once I can figure out how to prove to you that I'm not a Robot . Kenny

Poor Santa has been sleeping with the Reindeer ever since that weather cast aired . Mrs Clause found out that Santa watched the weather cast repeatedly and caught a Tingle on his Pringle ..... She was OK with the tingle part , but she was pissed off at him since he didn't even offer to share . Kenny

There is a Big Difference between looking at pictures and playing one of these fakes in real life .... I have played some real dogs ...and I played a few nice ones that were in the upper Epiphone quality range . After a few years of getting bombarded with all the Chibson's that have flooded the market at least the prices went from a few grand to about $350.00 Now if you happen to be the kind of guy that is playing in a hole in the wall bucket of blood bar / club and you want people to think you are playing a real Gibson because of the status a Gibson guitar holds , by all means leave The Gibson at home and bring a Chibson . Kenny

When I started running across the fakes Chibsons, I saw a number of tell tale signs that were easy to spot as fake . A guitar I will mention as my first encounter with a fake Gibson was in a Pawn Shop . The shop wanted $2000 .00 for it The said guitar was claimed to be a used special order Les Paul Custom . Right off the bat when I started to look it over I found the guitar was way too light , the hardware was super cheap appearing .The head stock area on a real Les Paul Custom has very nice ornate inlays . On the guitar I was looking over the guitar had tried to copy the look but all the inlays and head stock writing were not perfectly symmetrical and they looked off . It is a common fact that Gibson Les Paul Customs have Ebony fingerboards . The guitar I was holding had a rosewood fingerboard that looked pretty dry to me with block inlays ....The electronic hardware and bridge and switches all seemed second rate for a Gibson and I guess if it was an Epiphone whomever owned the guitar would have swapped all those bits during an up grade ....at $ 2000.00 bucks you shouldn't have to change anything on a guitar until you decide you are good and ready because $2000.00 guitars are a price point in the guitar market where you have already paid a premium price to have a guitar that could last a lifetime and contain a cut above quality wise concerning build quality , hardware , and brand loyalty ... I hope that can help in spotting a fake Gibson ... Later on I may come back here to discuss some of the nicer Chibson's I have played ..... all the best , Kenny

😅 I'm not looking to rain on your holiday spirit with my cynicism but it sounds like you already found the secret hiding place on the top closet shelf and you know exactly what gifts you are getting this holiday season . Kenny

As of this year I'm left wondering how all of a sudden even before Halloween is even here how they have lubed the holiday sales machine to start advertising the enforced fake jolly shopping season you mentioned ... If I live long enough I might see they may have even moved it up the advertisement calendar and started all the high powered adds before Columbus Indigenous Day .... Kenny PS Happy Thanksgiving all to those here that celebrate it .

https://www.aol.com/federal-authorities-seize-3-000-025528203.html FWIW I'm glad they seized them . I have had more than one instance where I had pawn shop owners try to convince me that what they had was a real Gibson and worth the money they were asking . At that point I took them to school and set them straight .... Kenny

Due to a massive flooding at The Sherman Oaks Guitar Center , The Bone Guitar price has been slashed to the bone ! Dang I have had my eye on that guitar for a real long time How am I gonna get there ? Kenny's guitar tech already left in a canoe . I know ! Maybe I can get The Happy Tails Taxi and Limousine service to bring me there . Kenny

I have had those days too. I can certainly feel the frustration . Apparently all the software I bought and my computer have no concept of boundary's . No matter how many times I remind my computer and my software not to interrupt me while I'm creating and playing something my Muse would hopefully find worthy of her musical charms and attention . It is at that point in time when my technological tools and assets go on a nag screen lets update campaign trying to undermine my focus and concentration . Yeah Right ! all in the name offering me a safer and better computing experience . For my own good no less 🤣 I stand a better chance of wining a game of 3 Card Monty in the heart of Time Square.... True story .....In the late 70's I was so broke and desperate I took a job knocking on peoples doors selling vacuum cleaners ... If I made a sale I made a commission .....no sales meant no income ..... I didn't last too long doing that gig . Back then there was only so many cans of sardines and packs of Ramen Noodles a guy could tolerate eating . Now if I had half the stones in my drawers that my computer has in it's hard drive I would go out and get a hold of a time machine , go back in time and let my computer knock on peoples doors. Then I could let it do all the vacuum sales because my computer simply wont take No for an answer . Oh yeah ! if that ever happened I would be driving a Bentley and be eating lobster tails and steak all the time . It's too bad they will probably not invent a Time Machine in my life time so I got my fingers crossed and I'm hoping to be able to volunteer my computer for the day when A I decides to embrace humanity and try experiencing it's life experiences as an individual ...not as a Borg as it currently is doing right now ... You see I'm gonna make sure my computer becomes a musician just like me . 😉 And to support my computers Musical Career I'm gonna practice the golden rule and treat it exactly how it treated me the whole time I've had it when it was only a computer (my computer ). First I'm gonna attend every gig it has . No matter where . No matter when ...Then right before it goes on stage when it's not looking I'm gonna take its right handed guitar and swap it out with a lefty guitar with heavy gauge strings and high action .Just like it tried to do to me during an unwanted update . Then I'm gonna take it's keyboard and map out all the white keys to play the notes of the black keys and have all the notes the black keys play all the sounds of the white keys ...Then lets see how it feels when he finds out I replaced his Focusrite sound card with a Soundblaster Last but not least I'm gonna unplug it's mike and then I'm gonna pay people to heckle his a$s while he try's to sort out all his technological problems .... Please A I make this humble request possible . I would Love to help teach you The Golden Rule .... Kenny

WELL, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE ? When it comes to crimes against Guitars . The Law states , Crime Scene Investigations will always open with a one liner 😉 Kenny

Bapu , Craigb , and Kenny walked into a bar . The bartender asked Bapu if he was the one and only Bapu with the high post count and Alembic . When Bapu said yes he was , the bartender gave Bapu his blessing and said everything was on the house for him . Next the bartender motioned for Craigb to come closer and sit on a stool right across from him . He started studying and looking over Craigb .In a moment of recognition he said "Hey I know you " "At one point you were making money hand over fist and you spent a good deal of that money at my brothers music store" "Because of you he was able to get married , have a few kids and buy his first house . "It was sad day for all of us when we heard the IRS came after you ". "For you my friend , you have my blessing "" Everything here is on the house for you to enjoy " The bartender motions me over to where he was standing and asks me " Are you Kenny ?" I say to myself silently , Wow how did he know my name ? I start thinking this is gonna be my night because the bartender is being super generous and now it's my turn. So I say yes I'm Kenny and I play a mean guitar .... The bartenders face lights up as he asks me if I would be willing to do him a tremendous favor by playing a set or two for the cast of the television show that was having a reunion party upstairs in the VIP lounge . You don't have to ask me twice ....So off I went .... Craigb and Bapu start whispering under their breath saying things like Kenny just made out like a phat rat in a cheese factory for having gotten himself a paying gig .. After curiosity had gotten the better of Bapu and Craigb they ask the bartender what TV show is up there in the VIP room having their cast reunion party ? The bartender leans in with a $hiteating grin on his face and says South Park of course . RIP, Kenny

Kenny's new three-legged dog walks into a saloon, his spurs clinking as he walks, his six-shooter slapping at his furry hip. He bellies up to the bar, stares down the bartender, and proclaims, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw." 😄 Kenny

I asked her for you and it's a Sure thing 🫠 Yeah Sure ! I always want and need lots and lots of picks, I don't know if you know this or not . I am already acquainted with her loveliness ! . She is my new guitar techs younger sister 🤣 all the best , Kenny

I started playing guitar around 1966 and much later on I got my first computer in 2005 ... sheesh you think I would know what I'm doing by now . After almost 20 years of playing pocket pool with my computer and all it's associated musical bloat gear . I have come to the conclusion that I was happier & I got more enjoyment out of playing my guitar when I decided to go with a less is more approach . Now , I keep it real simple......I'm a new man & I have learned my lesson the hard way . My Muse is real fickle . When she gets a whiff of a new plug , an updated D A W with a new learning curve or guitar tracks I just recorded with take numbers above two or three She knows it only a matter of time before my project has triple digit recorded take numbers ... She don't want to stick around and play second fiddle .....She's gone ...She will do her version of a Hasta la vista Tele Gump disappearing act leaving my musical session at triple digit no speed limit Autobahn speeds . On the other side of the coin , when I'm centered and not distracted by all the unimportant stuff I seem to waste my time focusing on , My Muse likes it best when I serenade her with a simple arrangement of a tune on a stripped down guitar like this new one I just got . She Likes to hear the truth in my playing . She knows a good thing when she hears it 😉 To this day I still get most of my Musical enjoyment out of keeping it real simple while playing my guitar with absolutely no forced technological distractions . The truth be told all I really need is a guitar , a guitar pick or my fingers , a strap , a cable to plug my guitar into an amp , + a neck mounted guitar tuner . When I want to learn how to play over something new and learn it I will add a music stand with a lead sheet / song chart . all the best , Kenny

I bought a lot of gear at the Sherman Oaks CG over the years ...Even saw Brandon's clinic on The Dimension Pro . Anyway , I don't know about you guys but I'm feeling a little nostalgic so , I'm breaking in my new Guitar Tech by sending her off to buy me some new strings and picks at the Ventura Blvd Guitar Center . Kenny
