See kids, that's what Skoal does to your teeth. :p:

He's a fairly good guitar player though.


I dip and my teeth dont look like that lol.

[GD_GC]

I thought he was pretty good, but the effect drenched tone wasn't my favorite. His playing was pretty good though, nice licks.

He would kick a lot more ass just playing with a guitar straight into a cranked Bluesbreaker though.

[Dimebag22]

I dip and my teeth dont look like that lol.
Yeah, but you're what, 20? He's like 55 and he's probably been doing it since he was 15. :haha

[Carswell98]

hey Kris, this is some nice weather eh?

[Vagabond21]

Yeah, but you're what, 20? He's like 55 and he's probably been doing it since he was 15. :haha


21....

[Dimebag22]

Oh damn I know man. Blows ass. I was supposed to go to dinner and a movie tonight but we had to cancel because of the crazy ass weather. God, it's like 100% opposite from last weekend.

[imgooley]

What is Junior Kimbrough's best album? I got meet me in the city but it seems a bit rough, can't hear the vocals and ****.

Chulahoma is great I love how Dan(? Is he the guitarist?) gets the vocal melody going on slide while he sings it in a lot of the songs, that is probably one of the things I like best out of all guitar playing. Just sounds so cool to me.
You Better Run, Most Things Haven't Worked Out, and God Knows I Tried are the only ones I could find, but they aren't even seeding anymore I think. You can AIM me if you want.

[gopherthegreat]

sounds like it would've been fun :(

[Dimebag22]

^ Yeah, now I am home alone drinking beer. Good way to spend a Friday night. :haha

[imgooley]

A fourteen year old alcoholic is the best kind

[Dimebag22]

You know it.

[imgooley]

:cheers:

Cheers, you maple syrup drinkin sunuvabitch!!!(I mean that in a positive way)


*its the alcohol talking*

[Dimebag22]

Mmmm, I could go for some pancakes right about now :p:


:haha :cheers: But for realz, I was drinking my beers and watching hockey, then some beaver walked up and ate a tree in my yard. The only thing that would have made me more Canadian would be to be eating pancakes with maple syrup :p: I'm so Canadian eh?

[Carswell98]

^ you make us look bad Kris :mad:


:p:



well, I'm about to go for a walk in this ****, if you don't hear from me in an hour or so, call somebody :p:

[imgooley]

Don't get raped by a bear, but make sure to pet the beaver.

[Dimebag22]

You're walking in this shit?! This guy has some major balls :p: Maybe he wont when he gets back. they might be frozen by that time. :p:

[imgooley]

Major Balls



He has courage

[Dimebag22]

Anyways, I think I'm off to bed.

Peace y'all.

[Carswell98]

^ drink too much already?




I'm back incidentally, it was pretty bad going for the majority of the walk, because the wind was in my ****ing face the whole time :mad:


In the time it took for me to go into the 7-11 and buy my coffee, it had switched on me :mad:

[imgooley]

The prodigal son returns, eh?


Why did you go for a walk anyway?

[Carswell98]

The prodigal son returns, eh?


Why did you go for a walk anyway?

I walk every day, (usually) I just hadn't planned on it today because it was ****ing deplorable weather


earlier this year I went for a walk in a similar storm, came back with my right ear frozen solid

talk about pain, freeze a body part and then thaw it again :cry:

On an unrelated note, I learned how to play a metal song today.

It was br00tal

[imgooley]

5 Minutes Alone by Pantera. Not super kvlt, but I like it.

5 Minutes Alone by Pantera. Not super kvlt, but I like it.

I'm such a bitch when it comes to metal, typically I don't like any made after about 1980 :haha

my cousin is obsessed with Pantera

[imgooley]

Eh, I like metal. Mostly southern metal and thrash. There is this band out of Texas called Ministry that does a few blues covers in metal style. I was impressed. But I listen to damn near anything.

Downloading some Burning Spear right now.

[imgooley]

yeah

[Carswell98]

^ timed out I presume? :haha


http://youtube.com/watch?v=tT8nE94I7uA

^That made me love motorhead again

[imgooley]

I like this one... You probably won't

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Btv1UWTX6x8&feature=related

and yes, time outs are a bitch

[Carswell98]

that was er... interesting, never liked ZZ Top too much anyways. :p:

this was cool though

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MNxNG_1zoPc&feature=related

man, it just took 5 hours to defrag my hard drives...

[imgooley]

How many do you have?

[Carswell98]

just 2 150 Gigs



shouldn't take that long :/

[ze monsta]

I've been playing metal this morning, in drop B :haha

I'm going back to drop D now though. Making metal riffs is so damn easy, but I guess they've all been done before somewhere.

[nightraven]

do what tommie iommi did (or whatever his name is), study blues and enjoy it - then play metal to make monies ;)

[imgooley]

love da monies

[gopherthegreat]

i dont like metal really. i just like black sabbath, motorhead, iron maiden, metallica, testament, skid row, children of bodom, megadeth, ozzy osbourne, dio, and judas priest

i respect it, though. im not one of those morons who think if they dont like something it sucks.

[ze monsta]

I don't even listen to metal, I used to listen to Sabbath but that's about it. Heard all the great songs though. I just like playing it now and then.

[imgooley]

Metal is for when I feel like breaking ****. I listen to a lot of stuff though anyway.

[ze monsta]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtHbxsdExlE

EPIC.

The only word to describe it.

[imgooley]

Moar epic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMW0t17Ft5o

[ze monsta]

Not as epic.

Jaco impresses me more than SRV.

[imgooley]

Well, this was epic


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKIV9ejNEY0

[ze monsta]

Yes, yes it was.

[imgooley]

And I was there. In front of that big ass light next to Pat.

[gopherthegreat]

you sound quite happy about this, braedon

[Carswell98]

well... I am, this is a big weight off my shoulders :)

[imgooley]

I should go to history class

[Carswell98]

now I'm starting my sociology paper :cry:


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

[imgooley]

Finals?

[Carswell98]

Finals?


yeah, school is over next friday, i have 2 exams that day, and a ten page sociology paper due before I go into the exam

[imgooley]

God, I just looked at the crying thread and had to stop. That is some sad stuff.

:sad:

[Carswell98]

^ damn you, I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't said anything

I lost :sad:

The Fresh Prince one really got to me, I miss my dad :cry:

[Vagabond21]

Braedon and gools what are yall majorin in?

[Carswell98]

^ I'm not majoring in anything, this is a sample year for myself, and it hasn't yielded any real prospects sadly, so I'm either going to take a year off, or take another sample year :/


I think, don't quote me on this, I think goolz used to be in chemistry... no engineering, but he switched to english...

or something :p:

[imgooley]

Well, right now, I am majoring in Chemical Engineering, but I'm switching to English, because math hates me.

[Vagabond21]

My old roommate is studying to become a chemical engineer. He has 1 year left. He's gonna be makin lots and lots of moneys.

Just to put it out there I'll go ahead and tell ya what I do. I went to college for 2 and a half years. Studied some business, a little landscaping, and autocad. Ive worked for a fire sprinkler company (grunt work and construction work) every summer since I was 14. So when I was at school I became bed ridden with panic attacks (although I had no idea wtf was wrong with me). I was hallucinating and ****. It was a chemical imbalance.

I came back to Nashville, got some help, and after about 3 months I was back on my feet. I got an office job at the fire sprinkler company aforementioned, because I had autocad and field experience.

So now I have a job that can lead me somewhere. I have my own office,laptop, desk, and business cards. It's a sweet deal. I draw stuff all day.

It's kinda funny how stuff just works out.

The crazy part is is that I'm only 21. People often have a bewildered look on their face when they see me doing my job because I'm so young.

[Carswell98]

^ I had a pretty bad bout of panic attacks and depression a while back, I had to drop 2 classes because of it :mad:

I be better now though :)


edit @ goolz
^ dude, math literally makes me cringe...


I really want to do something I like, something I feel passionate about, unfortunately, I haven't found it yet.

[imgooley]

Sweet dude. The only job I can get with an English degree is a job as an English teacher

[Vagabond21]

Sweet dude. The only job I can get with an English degree is a job as an English teacher

You think you'd like that?

Just gotta do what makes you happy.

Be careful though I know plenty of people with college degrees that dont have jobs.

Theres always a need for teachers though.

Ever thought about coaching football as well?

[imgooley]

Yeah, seeing as I completely understand both sides of the ball like it was second nature. And the reason (kinda) that I am switching to English is because I want to teach. I actually wanted to be a Chemistry teacher anyway.

[Vagabond21]

I feel for ya man. I know how it feels.

I literally thought I was going to be put in a mental ward bc I thought I had gone skitso.

I'm just glad I'm better now.

Well I guess thats what the blues are about... emotion.

[Vagabond21]

Yeah, seeing as I completely understand both sides of the ball like it was second nature. And the reason (kinda) that I am switching to English is because I want to teach. I actually wanted to be a Chemistry teacher anyway.

I have a lot of respect for underpaid people like teachers, firefighters, some social workers, policemen (the ones that aren't on a power trip)

Without them society couldnt function

[Carswell98]

yeah, it seems to happen to a lot of people, I'm just glad 2 of my profs gave me a second chance

[imgooley]

I'm bored

[Carswell98]

I'm bored

I'm watching dead poets society :p:

where do you want to teach?


just wondering

[imgooley]

Well, I kinda want to teach at my Alma Mater... I just hate Sacramento, though

[Carswell98]

Well, I kinda want to teach at my Alma Mater... I just hate Sacramento, though

some days, I think teaching would be fun, and others, I just don't know if I could do it

[nightraven]

i wouldn't mind being a guitar teacher. sounds fun and good pay if you have lots of students.

[imgooley]

Well, the main reason I want to teach is because all my life, I have wanted to affect peoples lives in a positive manner. That's why I wanted to be a Chemical Engineer (sounds weird but it works). Then I thought, who has affected my life the greatest? The answer is my teachers.

[Carswell98]

i wouldn't mind being a guitar teacher. sounds fun and good pay if you have lots of students.

I like history, I like english, I like art,

If I could teach anything, those would be the ones I would

[imgooley]

History, English or Chem for me.

I also had a teacher for an Empowerment class. I wish I could be half the man he is.

[Carswell98]

Empowerment?

what did that class entail

[imgooley]

It was awesomeness. It was sort of a sociology class, with certain other aspects thrown in. Basically, we learned about understanding the interactions between people around us and why people do what they do.

[imgooley]

The best thing about it was the teacher. A 6'4 former free safety out of Stanford University. Like a father figure to me (he was also my Football coach).

What the hell is engrish?

It's English spoken with a heaby asian accent.

High-larious when you aren't expecting it.

[ze monsta]

Question:

Is there much difference between the Fender Blues Deluxe and the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe?
Price wise, it's £10 or $20 difference. And I reckon the Blues Deluxe looks a whole lot nicer.
Is there much difference in tone?

[imgooley]

Well, I played the Hot Rod Deville, and I found it to be a little too bright for my tastes. Also, the HRdeluxe has an extra gain stage, whereas the blues only has one gain stage. I played the Blues Deluxe too, and it has a way warmer tone than the vinyl fenders that I played. I prefer tweed fenders anyway.

[ze monsta]

Yeah, I want a warm tone, when i get the cash together. Plus it is one sexy as hell amp.

[imgooley]

Do they sell Peaveys in the UK?

[ze monsta]

Yeah, I'll try the delta blues amp before you say. :p:
I think it's an ugly as hell amp, but I'll try it. :haha
It's £40/$80 cheaper than the Blues Deluxe.

[imgooley]

https://taweber.powweb.com/store/modshop/bluesdeluxe.jpg
http://www.zikinf.com/_gfx/matos/dyn/large/peavey-delta-blues.jpg

That different? Also, the Delta Blues is in a slant box, which is damn sexy too.

[ze monsta]

the hot rod/blues deluxe/deville are massive amps :eek:

go for the blues junior! :D

YEAH PICS TIEM!

http://www.harpdepot.com/productdetail/~Model/1512~/images/ACF1A7.jpg

[imgooley]

Eh? Boo to the blues junior, it doesn't even sound like the deluxe. It sounds more like a hot rod.

[ze monsta]

I was going to, it's like £150 cheaper, but getting a Blues Deluxe, I won't need to get another amp for like 10 years. :liplick:

[imgooley]

Listening to Gov't Mule right now.

Coolsies.


TBH, I prefer dark voiced amps, like the AC30 to really bright fenders.

[Vagabond21]

I have a fender blues jr....

I loves its

[Axegrinder#9]

yo why dontcha put on some live Miles with the Bew at Filmore and light up that phattyboombatty blunt.

i want to personalise my fancy strat in some way. i like this but nobody else does >=[

[ze monsta]

I think it's quite nice Nighty. Not really personalising it though imo, it looks fairly standard.

[nightraven]

meh **** it. everybody says it's stupid :(

so much for taking my guitar apart :p:

[ze monsta]

I think it looks good, but what are you changing?

[nightraven]

the gold hardware, white pickguard and white pickup covers, knobs and pickup selector.

[ze monsta]

Go for it.
It's pretty nice, a bit too girly for me. I want a strat though... :sad:

[imgooley]

Since my Starcaster is made by fender, and is basically like a Squier, real fender hardware fits on it, so I am getting new knobs, a new pickguard, and painting *Fender* on the head stock

Also, a P90 in the bridge and new pups in the other 2 positions, and new pots.

[nightraven]

Go for it.
It's pretty nice, a bit too girly for me. I want a strat though... :sad:
i probably won't do it. whenever i show my strat in public my friends will ridicule me. i don't know how one of them is in the position to, consider he has an sg with the worst burst possible, that yellowy one :puke:

i'll just keep looking for a blue paisley pickguard then. that is the best one ever and it'll look great. except we've just proved that i have bad taste :p:

[imgooley]

I like the Dead Kennedys. Hardcore Punk rocks.

[ze monsta]

I like The MC5.

[imgooley]

The MC5 rocks, as do The Stooges. Garage Rock FTW.

[Carswell98]

jesus

Of all the versions of Baby Please Don't Go I've heard, I must say that The MC5 version is my favorite.

Morning Brae.

And I bought a new pedal today :D

[Carswell98]

^ oooooh

what pedal?

[imgooley]

A Digitech Screamin Blues OD pedal.

I tried it against the Boss Blues Driver, and liked the digitech more.

[TeXaS_db]

what r some really good classic sounding distortion/fuzz pedals.
i've been looking at the Dunlop JH Fuzz Face
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Dunlop-JH-F1-Jimi-Hendrix-Fuzz-Face-Pedal-104376819-i1371742.gc

and the Electro Harmonix Big Muff
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Electro-Harmonix-USA-Big-Muff-Pi-Distortion-Sustainer-Pedal-101226793-i1124710.gc

r they both pretty good.
at the moment the Fuzz Face sounds pretty good, but i have heard alot of good things from the Big Muff

[imgooley]

Big Muff. The Fuzz Face is too bland for me. You can tweak the Big Muff a lot more, it's cheaper, and has true bypass.

[TeXaS_db]

doesnt the Fuzz Face have true bypass too

[imgooley]

IDK, it doesn't say on the link.

[TeXaS_db]

the dude in this video says it is, at about around 1:23
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0EqrQPbOhDo

[imgooley]

Well, I prefer the Big Muff. More faithful to the garage rock tone, and a lot thicker than the fuzz face.

[TeXaS_db]

does your big muff sound good on your Vox AD50VT, cause thats what i got

[imgooley]

Yeah, it does. The only thing is that you have to use it on certain channels. It sounds muddy on the B Clean channel and the Tweed channel. I usually use it on the AC30 channel and the Black 2x12 channel, and I roll the sustain down quite a bit. You've got to eq it right too, or it will suck your tone out.

[gopherthegreat]

i hate hardcore dancing kids so fucking much :mad:

[imgooley]

i hate hardcore dancing kids so fucking much :mad:
Me too. I went to a hardcore show a month ago and I was about to fight one of those fucckers for bumping in to me doing that ****.

[TheDev01dOne]

Hardcore dancing is awesome at the appropriate time/place..

Does anyone listen to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? Reallly been into them this week, really blues influenced and just damn good singers/songwriters and musicians. Been watching interviews and videos of them on youtube and they seem like really cool guys, passionate about their music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOU80QCRMms

Been learning that song, the riff is easy and sounds awesome but for some reason I just can't sing it at the same time as playing, just weird offbeat timings ****ing me up, I suppose I just need to practice it.

Also lately I've come to realise that open Dm = FTW.

Someone talk to me, I can't sleep and I'm bored as hell.

[imgooley]

I listen to BRMC!!! I love several of their songs.

And what do you play in open Dm?

[aetherspear]

^Lots of skip james stuff and bertonia school of playing is in dm.

[ze monsta]

MMMM, I love BRMC. I want to get a copy of Howl, i've got BRMC and Take Them On, On Your Own. I don't think theres any full acoustic stuff. My brothers seen them twice.
The first two albums are really different compared to Howl. I haven't heard the new album though. I think it's more like Howl. I really like their folk based stuff.

I have a "Rare and Unreleased" recording of them from Reading 2003 (I think) where they filled in for The White Stripes, and played an incredible cover of Hardest Button to Button.

[TheDev01dOne]

Yeah they're great, I like their other stuff too but the fok/blues/rootsy stuff they do is awesome. Howl is a great album.

And Goolz I don't now any real songs in Dm I tried learning some Skip James but I can't figerpick well enough, so I just jam and invent my own grooves and it sounds really good with minor tuning for some reason. I play that BRMC song in Dm aswell but it should be in D# I think, ah well, sounds the same since I fret on the Gstring for the whole song anyway.

[ze monsta]

Anyone else like Brendan Benson? Or is it just me...:sad:
Probably to much like pop music for you guys...

[ze monsta]

I've started finger picking againall of a sudden, I was in a more electric state before. But I listened to Key To The Highway by Big Bill Broonzy, and I'm addicted to piedmont blues again. :haha

[TeXaS_db]

Anyone else like Brendan Benson? Or is it just me...:sad:
Probably to much like pop music for you guys...
ya he's awesome, great singer/songwriter/guitarist.
im goin up to KC on the 29 (april) to c the raconteurs

[ze monsta]

Lucky guy. I love Lapalco, need to pick up a copy of One Mississippi.

[TeXaS_db]

has anyone played this guitar
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Guild-GAD30-R-Auditorium-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=513143

Anyone like Blanche apart from me? :o

[imgooley]

So does anyone like The Wu Tang Clan besides me?

[ze monsta]

Who? :confused:

I'll look em up.

[ze monsta]

Rap isn't my thing...

They aren't that bad compared to a lot of stuff, I suppose.

[imgooley]

....







I was making fun of you, Gus. :rolleyes:

But if you want to try something new, pick up Mos Def's New Danger album.

[ze monsta]

I half realised, but then thought " I might as well humour the poor guy!"
:p:

But seriously, most of the time rap bores me, only a few times have I ever listened to rap music and enjoyed. Those times were on playstation games. :haha

MONSTA EDIT:

I'm sorry I'm too damn white for you bitch. :p:

[Vagabond21]

Dirty Souf fer lifez........

Rap kinda bores me to. It seems like they all rap ab the same stuff.

Don't really like the stuff they rap about in the first place.

I do like a little Outkast and older west coast stuff.

For the majority though, it just makes my ears bleed.


Oh yeah, if I had the opporunity, I think I'd beat Kanye West with a blunt object.

[ze monsta]

I think we all would. :haha

[Vagabond21]

I don't know if any of you guys like wolfmother (i know goolz does) but here are some of their new songs performed at a recent gig.

http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=indiie

I particularly liked the beginning of "back home"

[ze monsta]

I love Wolfmother. I'll favourite that, and check it out soon. I'm watching Soul of a Man right now.

MONSTA EDIT:

I couldn't make out any of what he was playing, or singing, just sounded like a fart. :haha

I'll wait to pass judgement.

[nightraven]

i just took my first ever guitar apart :p:

everything has been dismantled except the underside of the bridge and the tuners. :')

that was my fun for the day :daisy:

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3582/img0379lo3.jpg

[ze monsta]

Just sand that name of the headstock, and I'd mistake that for a proper strat, looks wise. It's ply wood though, right?

[nightraven]

probably, it was very cheap. it's worse than a squier :p:

but i just noticed, it's routed for humbuckers :p:
i'm debating whether or not i should take my sg apart and fiddle around a bit more ;)

[ze monsta]

Most strats are routed universally, it that's the correct phrase.

[nightraven]

:O i didn't know that :O

i'm seriously considering this, since i prefer the feel of strats. with a bit of polishing this could be a good project :p:

[ze monsta]

It looks like Ply wood to me. When you tap it, does it sound kind of hollow? If so, it's probably ply wood. So it'll never sound as good as a alder bodied strat.

[ze monsta]

Night all. I have school tomorrow, and exams. No late nighter for me.

:wavey:

[Carswell98]

I wish I knew how to do electronics a little better, I'd start building my own guitar,

Just got back from a killer session, these guys: www.tomandgren.co.uk were there. Check out their myspace to hear the violin player, he is amazzzing. Anyway yeah lots of bluesgrass and country blues went down with great violin solo-age. I bought their CD and **** and am hoping to befriend the guitar player who is an amazing fingerpicker, maybe I can steal some of his skillz. They played some Skip James stuff and some originals, bah it was cool. I love the sound of violin on acoustic blues.

[TheDev01dOne]

So does anyone like The Wu Tang Clan besides me?

Wu Tang Clan are teh pwnz, awesome ****. I gotta admit though my favourite thing about them is/was their playstation game. Possibly the best fighting game ever to exist, man we played that game for years and never got bored of it. We could've been like Dojo Sensai's at that ****.

[Dimebag22]

So I played my show with my band last night. :) Good times. It was so much fun guys. :) We have another show in about a month I think.

Thank you, someone else here know where it's at. Wu Tang Clan ain't nothin to **** with.

Never played the game though, I just love the music. I grew up on that ****.

Hey I played a show on Friday. It was a Battle of the Bands for Make A Wish but it wasn't actually a battle. It was probably the best we have ever played except we f*cked up the ending of our last song ALOT. It is supposed to change from 3/4 to 4/4 and have an epic outro but that failed....

[gopherthegreat]

Hardcore dancing is awesome at the appropriate time/place..

Does anyone listen to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? Reallly been into them this week, really blues influenced and just damn good singers/songwriters and musicians. Been watching interviews and videos of them on youtube and they seem like really cool guys, passionate about their music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOU80QCRMms

Been learning that song, the riff is easy and sounds awesome but for some reason I just can't sing it at the same time as playing, just weird offbeat timings ****ing me up, I suppose I just need to practice it.

Also lately I've come to realise that open Dm = FTW.

Someone talk to me, I can't sleep and I'm bored as hell.
i love BRMC. american x is my favorite song by them by far. its brilliant

[ze monsta]

I pwned my history paper today. :D So happy.

Seven A4 pages in an hour, of solid material. I was so pleased. I didn't finish, but the last question was only 4 marks, and the penultimate question was 10, so I tried to write a good answer for that, rather than 4 lines or something.
Latin tomorrow, a whole hour and 15 minutes of it. :( I'm ****ed. :(

[imgooley]

latin is dead

[ze monsta]

EXACTLY.
I hate it, I didn't choose to "learn" it. It would be a lie to say I learn Latin. I don't learn it, I sit there in the class wondering what the hell is going on around me. :haha

[imgooley]

Good man.


On an unrelated note, I procured (read: downloaded) some Blind Willie Johnson today.

[ze monsta]

What tracks? I have a lot of his stuff. I love it, worked out a few of his spirituals. I get "wha teh feh?!" looks from my mum, when singing them though, because I'm supposed to be catholic but I'm not really, that much. I suppose I stick to the morals and go no further.

[imgooley]

Complete recordings, son. Wondering what is next on the docket. I'm thinking some Charlie Christian or Django

this is what i hope to turn my beginner strat into. a shredz0r machine since recently i've been starting to study it properly instead of listening and air-guitaring to it :p:

i'm going to get a black HSH pickguard, off thomann, 23 euro.

spray paint my body (the guitar, stoopid) with neon-ey green if my DT department has it, if not, any green will do.

i'll get new pickups, probably from the guy who's a UGer and makes them for good prices. handmade ;) custom ;) awesome ;)

then i'll get a new neck, PREFERABLE an ibanez, more shreddy, i hope they fit on my strat body. if not i'll just get a regular strat neck. HOWEVER - it has to be a maple neck :') also i'll dab teabags over and some brown kiwi shoe polish over the neck to make it vintagey :) :) :)

then i'll get some more screws since mine have all been basically broken from lying around in my cupboard for a few years.

maybe, once the basics are on, i might get locking tuners and maaayyybe a new tremelo.

that's going to cost me a fair amount of money but this guitar means to me and i want to make it yummyscrummy. hopefully you lot will appreciate it even though it's not a blues machine :p:

[imgooley]

DON'T GO HSH!!!!!! There is nothing better about a strat than the neck single coil! And a new bridge is a great upgrade for the cheapo strats.

[ze monsta]

I wouldn't bother with any of that if it's ply wood to be honest. But it's down to you in the end.

[imgooley]

Depends on if it's a good slab of plywood. The glues used to make it could mess up the tone a bit though. I would still do it for the experience of modding a guitar.

[ze monsta]

Oh come on, it's a starter guitar from a starter pack, it's not going to be good...it's not a tone wood, I wouldn't bother personally. That's just my opinion.

[nightraven]

i want a humbucker on the neck, i've got singles on my real strat. and i think i will use the body of this, it r personal guitar for me. besides, tbh, i'm not really as fussy about the tone as i would normally be, i just want a good project and i know by the end it'll be very satisfying. also, very nostalgic of the good ol' days ;)

Tone wood schmone wood. 90% of tone in an electric guitar is electronics anyway. Alder was firewood until fender started using it.

And if he messes up on a crap guitar, what is the harm done?

better to learn on a cheapo than **** up a good guitar

[ze monsta]

True, I suppose painting it's a great idea, to learn, but soldering is piss easy, as is putting in new tuners.

So.......

[ze monsta]

My band is gonna play Have Love, should be awesome. I'm singing, which I'm pleased about, and I've arranged it. :) I think I've done a fairly good job. :D
And we have found somewhere where we could play gigs, to like 1500 people, and I don't think they really care too much about who plays, or so it seems. I went on the website and just laughed and laughed at all the stuck up dicks there were that go! All the girls look the same (hawt but kinda boring looking), all the guys look like jocks, and they all look like Public school dicks.
:haha It's the kinda place I'd feel super uncomfortable going to, let alone playing in.

In England:

Public School = You pay. (also called private school)
State School = Free (I go to one, but it's like, the best in the country, and is practically a private school)

Me too, back in the day. Only for like 2 years though, because I live in America, where the men run around in armor and smack each other around at full speed. Hockey is just as brutal though, the only thing is that it's Canadian.

Anything happening?

I need to go to class for once in my life

[TheDev01dOne]

Well I'm bored as hell here.

Is there another name for Catfish Blues? I swear I've heard the song and it had a different name but I can't remember what it was, or who it was by. Possibly Buddy Guy?

[TheDev01dOne]

hmm I'll try searching that and see what comes up. Thanks.

I never knew Sickbed Blues was a Skip James song, I'd only ever heard it done by Collard Greens And Gravy, I thought it was an original.

Yes, yes I am back on a Skip James binge.

You should check out Bukka white if you haven't already, he usually playing in Dmin too, with modal done type stuff going on. Listen to Aberdeen Mississippi Blues for sure.

Lazy Bones, FTW.

Did he write Bad Whiskey? Because I have heard it played by others and wasn't sure.

[TheDev01dOne]

I always thought it was Buddy Guy & Junior Wells that wrote Bad Whiskey?

EDIT: Since someone mentioned it yesterday I am now compelled to watch 'Soul Of A Man'.

I forget who it was.. but who-ever it was: Do you have the whole set of all those DVDs??

[imgooley]

I have a version of Skip James playing it, and it sounds like it was in the first batch of recordings in the thirties.

[imgooley]

I forget who it was.. but who-ever it was: Do you have the whole set of all those DVDs??

I have them on my comp, if you want to get them from me, IM me

[TheDev01dOne]

I have the DVD box set, they're awesome but the 'warming by the devils fire' one stops about halfway through for some reason, I have to re-buy that one.

Anyway I'ma watch that now 'cos I'm bored as shiit.

[imgooley]

Do it. Or you could talk to me about teh blooz, seeing as I am equally bored

He names 3 songs, a traditional folk song (Best done by Blind Willie Johnson, I may add,) and a son house tune? :haha And then he says that The White Stripes have more bluesy songs than Trucks? :haha

Trucks played with The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND!!!

For god sakes...

I did see the Canada defense coming though (nice Hip drop by the way).

Can y'all do me a huge favor for me and my band?

My band just played a show right? and there's this thing called a wild card vote, where you go online and vote for a band and if you win you get to go to the city finals. So i was wondering if you guys could help me out and vote for my band! :)

So you gotta go to www.supernova.com and make an account as a fan, then click this link: http://www.supernova.com/shows/1721/vote and put the Tasty Jam Project, and then click vote.

It only takes about 5 mins at the most so please help us out! And you can vote once every day!

Thanks :cheers:

Where you going to see him?

On Jack White, I much rather hear him play country, folk and blues music than I do his garage stuff. I'd love to hear him do an album of covers with other than Meg White, would be so much more interesting to hear him do some good covers of Bob Dylan, Blind Willie Johnson and stuff like that. :liplick:
