Hi Lynn, Your Kind words of encouragement are awesome . They gave me a gentle nudge to continue along w my journey along the path of the will to carry on . I'm real stoked you dig my guitar tone and phrasing . I guess the whole secret to good phrasing is for me to listen closely to everything I'm playing as the song unfolds , then I must resist the temptation to install an unnecessary musical kitchen sink ......just because I can ... lol The real kicker is I am playing a bone stock Bullet Mustang ...the one w 2 humbuckers that only cost $149 .00 brand new ... https://www.guitarcenter.com/Squier/Bullet-Mustang-HH-Limited-Edition-Electric-Guitar.gc I have one in White that I picked up a few months ago ....I bought it as a get well guitar gift to myself . I lub that little geetar ...lol... all the best, Kenny

Hello bjornpdx, I'm glad to have contributed a moment of musical beauty to your listening pleasure . To reach another person and to connect on a genuine heart felt level of sympathetic vibration is the only true reason I post tunes . It sure ain't the money I'm doing this for Thank you for the listen Kenny

Yes I feel the same way . You got that right . I agree w you 100 % Yes you are making a lot of sense here with this train of thought . I had gotten the e mail for Next the same day this thread hit the forum , yet if it wasn't for you replying in this thread I would have had no idea Acid Pro 9 was even out. +1 I would gladly ante up the 99 clams for the whole enchilada . Acid Pro 9 Next ... I will not under any circumstances try to pawn the dusty lint or the spider webs in my wallet nor the ones that reside in my pants pockets just to raise the coin to buy Acid Pro 9 Next at the price Magix is asking . As the deal stands now from Magix ..no way it just ain't gonna happen . I got a little Magic for you Magix , keep this type of $hit up and watch me disappear . Me neither , I'm not the least bit interested in a Magix DAW subscription of any kind ... If it wasn't for Cakewalk by BandLab and Mengs generosity, I would still be sitting over here bent over looking into a mirror with a pair of vise grips in one hand while i go through the motions of picking out the Joshua Tree prickly thorns out of my aching bung hole that got deeply embedded up and in there from my experiences with the Gibson SPlat lifetimes subscription fiasco . Yes I hear you on that point loud and clear . Admittedly I confess to knowing very little about the zynaptiq® STEM MAKER audio source separation technology. What I do know is the Genre of musical examples they chose to use and feature in their video were clearly not even close to my Genre of Music nor were they even close to the nearest Star in the furthest out reaches of my Musical Orbit ...not even close . Unless Magix thinks a 100.000.000. Light Years away is close enough to being and nailing a bullseye in my Musical Galaxy . Here on my beloved home Planet ...The Planet Tele X..... we have high standards lol... any way thanks for the views you expressed ...it was nice rapping w you Kenny PS , please don't mind me or my mini rant, it is all in good fun . I guess I like to kvetch a lot .

Very helpful post Sir .Thank you for taking the time . Hey Starise , yes I do not fall into their target market either . At the prices they want to get for this I simply will not go there . Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding CCLarry in for the Win ...Amen my brother . Acid 7 is good for sure . I have it , yet honestly , as good as 7 is I still prefer Acid 8 over 7 by a long shot . I may have different reasons than some ...in my case the short answer involve this . I go back a long time w Samplitude . Many of the stock plugs that come with Samplitude I happen to use and like very much . I hated the idea that I could only use them since they were locked down in Samp. when I got a hold of Acid 8 I was happy to see that 8 came with all of those plugs I like .Then when I factor in a couple of Humble Deals I picked up I was very pleased to have all my SONY apps tightly integrated w Acid 8 ..All the plugs from Sound Forge , Spectral Edits and the Magix Vintage Suite showed up in Acid .. In addition to that ,The SONY apps I mentioned are already integrated and can be used for editing within Acid 8 .... For me that's a big one . I would consider $99 bucks for Magix Acid Pro Next ... Not a penny more UNLESS you buy me a hamburger with a side order of Acid Pro Next . I will gladly pay you on Tuesday ...lol Kenny

Kenny

Hi all , This song Remembering The Heartbreak is basically me playing my guitar over The Twanger Central Challenge Week 193 BT . I sincerely hope you enjoy my guitar playing . thank you in advance Kenny

Ouch .....he he eh whew ...that hurts Yeah I wish .... Yeah , where are they hiding that Info ? I certainly couldn't find it I agree with you on that ...I don't care for Magix pulling something like that . all the best , Kenny

I have and use Acid Pro 8 so I wonder , if that's the upgrade price from having Acid Pro 8 or if that's the $299 Acid Pro Next price for any body regardless . Kenny

... at least you can be grateful he didn't kick you in the balls with his peg leg . Kenny

I haven't touched a drop of booze or done any illegal drugs since August of 1983 . Living One Day At a Time ...is challenging even on a good day Kissing a girl that has the taste of booze and stale smoke on her breath ....nope ... No Ken Do ..been there and done that enough times to have learned my lessons. My fingers are crossed on that one because I may still suffer from the whole delusion of "this time it's gonna be different " I will take a life of not so much fun over the roller coaster ride of a life of Drama ..... There can only be One Drama Queen in my life at any given time . So if ain't gonna be her it's gonna have to be be me Kenny

Since Guitar playing has been real good too me and brought me Great Fame and Fortune . Lets make it more interesting for ya and worth all the time and effort you will need to put out . Instead of going for my guitars , Why not go for my 60 foot yacht , my Ferrari or my Lake side waterfront vacation property with the Sea Plane docked over by the boat ramp ? In my underground climate controlled Car Vault Bunker , I keep a full collection of Vintage American Muscle Cars that would make Jay Leno green w envy. Even have every year Corvette ever made from the first year they came out right up unto this year in two colors. They are all low original mileage and many of the Corvettes are convertibles . Do you need or want the keys to my house ? They are hidden over by the front gate under the blue rock with the white stripe next to the rose bush ... BTW, when the thrill of that Fairy Tale Fantasy wears off , the sad truth of it all is .... This is what it's all gonna be about in the end anyway Home Slice ....lol .... Kenny

Talk to me when you can play a different guitar every day of the week for over a month and a half with out ever repeating your self . ....then you and I will be closer to being on the same page . Kenny

I've have over a dozen DAW's with 100's of Virtual instruments I don't play very much . Is it wrong to have all these DAW's and Virtual Instruments and not play them every day ? Kenny

I'm biased ....The Ibanez is and was so much more than just a Midi guitar the neck and bridge system alone was a marvel / masterpiece . Neck = Ebony finger board Graphite reinforced .Gittler style tuning from the bridge ....need I go on ? https://www.joness.com/gr300/img2010.htm I wish I could get some of the hardware Ibanez used ....I would slap that on some of my other guitars ...IMHO , Ibanez was way ahead of the loop . I sold my Roland to get this thing ...lol Then I would go out and listen to John Abocrombie play his Ibanez ...he used to make fun of me ...lol As far as the Gittler goes I'm sure it costs a fortune in materials alone just to make one .....Titanium ? Either way I scalloped one of my Fender Esquire maple necks back in the day ..a full scallop like the guitar John McLaughlin, played back in the day I know I can dig that type of feel ....a big reason I gravitate towards my interest in The Gittler Say , if you build it , and if I ever come passing through your town I will check it out nice talking w you , Kenny

I knew you would like that keyboard chick Dave ... I had a feeling you wouldn't want to touch the "Pick Muse" with a ten foot pole . She hung around with a couple of dogs and I was interested in her , Those facts alone may have tainted her reputation I like your story about the girl in the club ...too bad she left before you could hook up ... Kenny

Get Well soon Dave Signed w Love " The Pick Muse " In other Island News Kenny

Hey Bill , I have a Historic Gibson R8 VOS ...I LOVE IT Don't listen to all the negativity on u tube . Life's to short Why listen to them anyway ? Most of those guys wished they could play half as good as you play on your worst day. I'm glad to hear you are happy with your new Les Paul . Peace out, Kenny

Now I'm feeling all nostalgic ....I'm thinking about dusting off my Ibanez Midi Guitar and slapping on some new strings . As a guitar it is a fantastic guitar . I'm beyond happy w it . I have used it on countless recordings and played plenty of live gigs using it only as a regular guitar . As a midi guitar it was very good for a 24 pin interface . I remember I actually rewired the interface cable ....whew ..... I got her brand new in 1987 , Both Ibanez and Mannys Music gave me a super deal on it ..... As far as the Gittler guitar goes , I used to see one at the Museum of Modern Art ( N. Y. C. ) my first non museum Gittler sighting was memorable . I was working at The Bowery in a furniture store . I went out to pick up lunch at Katz's Deli ...on my way to pick up lunch I stopped to pick up some subway tokens . I was shocked as hell when I saw a NYC subway token booth clerk jamming away playing his Gittler Guitar in his bullet proof glass both ? Guy was super nice too me and he enjoyed talking up his Gittler ( at the time it only cost 2 Grand ...now they are 8 grand ....I think the price must have came down because the last time I checked I thought they cost more ) Of course I didn't even try to ask him to play his guitar or any thing ...I did go back a few time to chat it up with him ... Here's a realistic review of The Gittler guitar ...VIA a u tube video by someone that enjoys playing Classic Rock type of tones ... Kenny

Nice guitar Craig .....I always wanted to get a transtrem Steinberger ..never seemed to make it happen ..still on my list Kenny

OK FWIW , I do like all types of wacky guitars and strange guitar variants . The weirdest guitar I still own and play is this model . ( stock Photo ..mine is just a clean ) Back in the day in the early 1970's I had a ten string Chapman Stick # 4 ...sadly I sold it because I need the coin ... A guitar I still dig the idea of getting some day . is "the Gittler ....I knew a guy that had one chances are that one may never happen ....oh well at least I had a dream lol. Kenny PS , if I was still doing dwugs which I'm not I would probably want one of those Relish Guitars ...it's secondary function and design options scream I am the ultimate in stash guitars

Welcome to Guitar Pick Island Kenny

? I don't know what to think , seems like a cool guitar in it's own way ... FWIW, I'm more into the skill of the Indian and not so much into the what features of his arrow are ? All guitars sound exactly the same when they are in their case ... that is until you pick it up , plug it in and start to play it Kenny

? It came naturally for him ...he loves the attention ... I myself don't care for all the attention ... even though I talk about him a lot ...I'm more like the proud parent . I kid you not when I say this .. . Duke stops surface street traffic . People in cars laugh , honk , wave , yell things out phrases like " I like your dog ". I can't help but feel like I'm walking down the street w Brad Pit or somebody on that level of fame as far as every body knows .. Even though I often kid around I don't hit on the women ...I feel it's too predatory ... When I went w out a dog for a couple of years I took care of some horses that weren't mine ..it filled the hole in my soul , so I let it be that type of moment of joy for whomever has the need to go there w my dog . He is a big friendly dog and people like being around him Kenny

?TMI ? nahh this next section will certainly be though , I have seen him go face first into a mini skirt on more than one occasion . Once he gets up there he does the ole nose nudge and lifts the lady clear off her feet . Once that happens It's a blush fest for the lady and myself . He don't seem to have a care in the world when he does that ....in his mind he is innocent ..in my mind I'm like Duke your such good boy .I want to be just like you when I grow up .lol Kenny

You caught that ? lol .... ? Duke's cold wet nose has gone places I only wish I could get too. Glad to see my teeth made it .. Say ... what 's this taste Duke ? my teeth taste sort of weird . Please don't tell me its your butt hole... all the best, Kenny
