    Just do what i do.
    speak in ever diminishing circles until you disappear up your own mouthhole.:D

    Wow, your drugs are way, way better than my drugs.....

    F# F# G G F# F# G G..A C D A.......repeat...

    I just felt that strangest compulsion to write down the chord progression to the verses of "White Rabbit".......

    Dum dum da-da-da dum dah......Dum dum da-da-da dum dah.

    (I tried to work, " one pill makes you disappear into you own mouth hole", into the melody line, but you really have to force it.

    Oh great. Now I have the bass-line of White Rabbit on a loop in my head with Hendrix's Star spangled banner crashing in randomly.

    You're welcome! Think nothing of it! That was the least I could do...:rolleyes:

    "Remember, what the door mouse said, "Feed your head", Feed your head"...........Clang, clang, clang..., clang, clang, clang....., clang CLANG!

    (I always forget the chords to that last part, the song changes key) :confused:

    I'll say..:rolleyes:

    are you working the Les Paul, or the Gibson?
    ..or was it a Fender strat you had?

    Nothing so extravagant. Right now it's 3 left handed Ibanez'. (2 Acoustic electrics, the other is a "sort of" Les Paul, loosely copied (ART-100)).

    I "remembered" to buy this for myself for Memorial Day; http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guit...t-handed-exotic-wood-acoustic-electric-guitar Again, it was the least I could do. The onboard chorus is really cool, you can get Byrdsey sort of sounds without wrestling with a real 12 string. :)

    I should pull out some old "Airplane" slides, to see exactly what Paul Kantner usually played. I think he was a Strat kind of guy, not sure though.

    23 processes using up 490 MB on start is the best I can do. Although my computer is wide open without any anti virus right now.

    Nice! :) i am always envious of those of you that have...you know...talent.
    Is that Birds Eye Maple? *** I just spotted Ash, unique cut that is.
  10. captaincranky TechSpot Addict Posts: 8,783   +279

    Nah man, I have to work hard just to be able to suck.

    It's figured ash. That's the only model in their "Exotic Wood" series, offered off the rack left handed. http://www.ibanez.com/AcousticGuitars/Series-ew I'd commit all sorts of indiscreet acts if they'd build me one of the 12 strings.

    I thought you played keyboards?
  11. red1776 Omnipotent Ruler of the Universe Posts: 5,795   +24

    Oh i do, ( i have a CME UF8) but as some one once said...some play the notes...and some make music. My dad played Guitar, acoustic/ electric and the drums. he actually has talent. I have to work awfully hard at it just to amuse myself.
  12. captaincranky TechSpot Addict Posts: 8,783   +279

    That's my sole motivation. Fire up the stereo with my favorite tunes, strum along, and be thankful my cats don't judge.

    I don't know how much you've kept up with musical equipment, but this floored me, "digital modeling amps" : http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/peavey-vypyr-15-15w-1x8-guitar-combo-amp#used

    I have that little Peavey, it'll easily to keep up with the stereo. Funny thing though, it will, on occasion crash like a computer! Wow! Oh well, you can't blame it on Windows.

    Four different botnets are fighting for control of your computer.

    I pay attention to them as needed. When my computer runs slow or acts strange you better bet that's the first place I look. And with windows 7 resource monitor you can sort them by the cpu ram and network they are taking up. I know there are probably all sorts of similar tools but for a modest user its pretty damn handy.

    I thought it said what the door man said.
