Man, you look to young to have two kids.

I have a theory that as soon as you hit 35 you can no longer handle heavy music. I know very few over 35 year olds that can.

Today, in the car, my parents put on some of my smashing pumpkins stuff. By track 4 their "Ears were hurting".

I only have 22 years left. Help!

Ouch

Okay then. Hot off the press.

Q: Which guitar technique does George Osborne struggle with?

A: Economy picking

I was wondering last night of a way to use multiple phasers/flangers without running them into each other, so series. Oviously I could send the guitar signal to multiple amps, each with a separate phaser, but if you only have one amp, then?

I have the footswitch, yes. In all fairness I have no income, and so this is literally the best thing for the price range. The only gigging I do is in Church really, and where my band practice there's decent amps, so I have no use of a top of the range for practice.

I do love Glenn, though he is very annoying.

I found a few to pass the time on the net,

Q: What’s the difference between a Lead Guitarist and a terrorist? A: You can negotiate with a terrorist.

Q: What did the blues guitarist’s tombstone read? A: “I didn’t wake up this morning.”

Q: What do you call a successful guitarist? A: A guy whose wife has 2 jobs.

Q: What do you call a guitarist who breaks up with his girlfriend? A: Homeless

I lost my notebook! I'll start remembering.

How the hell did you trade a behringer for a bugera! Lucky bugger.

Not that I'm aware of. It has a footswitchable channels.

Is there a model of SG with a floating bridge, or would I have to mod one.

A laney vc15. I've mentioned it on so many threads...

I have got a reliable tube amp, I just need to add it to my equipboard.

I play out of necessity. I'm no prodigy, but I play the stuff on my recordings, because I have to...

I'm thinking of buying either a rocket train, or rock highway. Which is more bang for your buck?

I posted this on the guitars, and bass thread, but obviously it should've been in general, so here it is. I saw there wasn't a thread for this, so...

Any ideas for toxicity, or chop suey by SOAD.

I keep coming up with little nerdy, sad guitar jokes. If you'd oblige me I'll put some up, and if anybody else has any I can add to my collection it'd be cool if you could put them on as well.

Just force him to listen to some four hour grindcore playlist. If you're not awake, or high on energy after that then you must be dead. Maybe that's what Jesus did to Lazarus, I'm sure Judas had some underground metal links.

Looks quite nice. Definitelty not ugly, but I've heard the pickups are crappy, low output pieces of junk.

Well I saw that there's no set thread for song/lyric meaning queries.

I'll kick this off, with SOAD's Toxicity, I guess it's partially about American Society, but I don't really know. It's got some weird-ass lyrics too.

Can I request for permission to be paid £1 for every time Jimmy uses the term "AC30".

I'm not offended, it's fine. Everbody has different viewpoints dependant on what donomination they are, and what their background is.

In this day, and age, yes St Paul is correct, all you need to do to honour God is pray, belive, and worship.

However everybody prays in different ways, personally I prefer not to pray out loud, and if you think about the three points of prayer (Thankyou, Sorry, and Please) then worship is a big part of that, and then there are a million ways people worship. I've encountered singing, dancing, praying, clapping, and watercolour painting, among others.

Hey it's really cool that your a Christian as well. Might slightly help my case next time my Mum, has a go at me for using forums. It's encouraging to know that there are guitarists out there in places, that aren't just opinionated atheists, that constantly take the piss. I don't really know of a nice way to say, it's not your problem, or your responsibility to fix/unconvert us.

As narcist has pointed out that is I guess, a way you could take the story of the rich young man, however, Jesus told him to discard his possessions as they were becoming a barrier between him, and God, and was hindering their relationship.

If we are using that money (So maybe a worship budget) for the honour of God, and to develop ours, and others relationships with him, then it is allowed.

But then you need to make sure you don't go over the top. Down South there's a church a friend of mine went to once, called Christchurch Bristol, and as much as they put their heart, and soul into worship, having a full set pf brass, strings, and all sorts, as well as the ususal Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drums, is a bit mad Ted. If you're spending more time orchestrating, and working on the music than the worship you need to rethink what's going on.

I built my own board using Velcro, some wood from B + Q, and duct tape.

Yeah, For a bright sound TV Jones -tron things just sound great, but they aren't very versatile. Personally I really like Lollar pickups.

Damn its late, but since you woje me up Liam I thought I'd at least reply. I've played a few bare knuckles, and they're just so overated. The cleans sound like crap, and the metal tones, are nothing special. I think I've played mules, painkillers, and cobras. The misha mansoor pickups might be OK

Hey Jim, can you attach a link to that soundcloud you made with all your fuzzes on please?

Is Lucian a name from Harry Potter? It's kind of cool.

Is Obama care really bad or something?

Can I change the name of this thread to "Problems With Obama"? This sounds like it's set to be fun

Didn't know you Americans even had this until, you posted your comment on some thread a while back saying,

I might buy this pedal. Depends how much Thomas the Tank crap I buy my Son for Christmas.

Literally one of the funniest thread posts I've seen, and I'm not 100 percent sure why, it just cracks me up.

It's less about seriously blocking hi, and more about making a statement. I must say I'm not aware of Obama's wrongdoings, as I am British, Fell free to fill me in.

It'll be heard TO FORGIVE you for that one TONIGHT, TONIGHT. I have ZERO tolerance for people who don't LOVE dawn to dusk. Stare down the MUZZLE of my gun you JELLYBELLY.

Can't find one, but it's pretty sick.

I'm considering buying one, just for the features. Not sure completely...

How would you spell it then? Ton?

Bodies is amazing, but Disc 1 is still so much better. It has hits for a reason. Even some of the not so big songs are amazing, which is uncommon, I mean Jellybelly, to forgive, muzzle, cupid de locke, Galapagos, love, and here is no why, are all brilliant songs.

1 is definitely better

Tell me what's happened! If I got an email saying "Jack White has new gear", I then do not want, to follow a link. Just tell what's going on.

Make sure you've got a few decent VSTs, and a fairly good DAW.

There are a tonne of guides on the internet, but otherwise just play, around, and fiddle with stuff. I learnt most of my music skills from working out what works, and what doesn't, but I must say I've learnt a tonne, on this site, as well. It's an amazing resource, for all sorts.
