Any guitar players on TW?

So you work out of town/state?

 

Truck driver. Away from home two nights a week. 4/14 or so hour work week with 3 days off.

 

Today's my Friday. Be home late this evening.

 

Awesome!! You'll be jamming all weekend.

It's my fri as well. Plus we're off Monday.
Half thought about making a run home to Ohio to visit folks and grandmother, but it's just to early in this Rona world.

 

Excited to fire up the Blackstar as well!

 

There will be more wood in your house than what's stacked up beside the shed out back.

 

Learning some Iron Man today. Got some good progression on it. Still struggle to keep pressure on low e and a and have the rest of the strings muted with the pointer though

 

Dont feel bad Im having the same problem with full bar chords and my pointer not pressing the b down all the way on the acoustic.

On the bright side river of deceit is coming along ok nicely, kind of
....

 

For me tho, I know its fret hand positioning.

Its fine when Im standing and thrashing around and when sitting properly.

Its when Im laying back on the couch noodling & messin around is when I just cant get that dam string to sing for me.

Theres just no way to cheat with these acoustic guitars.
I tried my brothers martin d28 and yep
Its me.

 

So what are your guy's thoughts on the phil collen jackson in the transparent blue?

Havent been able to stop thinking about that thing since I watched the 2019 r&r hall of fame induction ceremony a while back.

 

I haven’t really starting learning any bar chords yet but I already know that’s going to be a major struggle for me. I’ve tried messing around with a few and it’s pretty bad. I’ll start on the electric for sure with those

 

Do whats fun.

"Close enough for rock & roll"



Main thing is have fun.

The only way I am ever going to get any better is to suffer a little. My gift only goes so far.
Thats why Im doing it.

Who knows, you might never even need to.

 

Honestly, I like the natural, with gold hardware, that's just me.

 

Yup. Been havin lots of fun. I've only been playing for a month now but have definitely learned a lot already. I try and play for at least an hour every day

 

Or satin trans Amber with gold.
I'm just not a big transparent blue or even sold blue guy.

 

During the interview part of the hall of fame show joe elliot said someone (I forget who now) taught him 3chords, "and it turned out he didnt even need those" or however he put it.

I know phil is more tecnical and steve was more, steve
Maybe youre one of those gifted players and you just dont know it yet.

Ive watched a guy evaluate the circle of 5ths for hours and hours with a notebook for DAYS and other guys that came up with something just as brilliant with no idea where that even just came from lol

Those are the guys you say,
Hey throw a lead over that
