brapppp

I will share with you an awesome candy recipe for the holidays.
- Pretzels (I like the square ones)
- Rolos
- Pecans (can be replaced by your topping of choice

Steps - just heat the rolos up slightly on top of the pretzel, take them out of the oven and press the pecan in.

Boom Shakalaka…Santa will love you forever!




…you could always step it up a notch, and drizzle ya favorite caramel or chocolate on top too…

 

Merry Christmas!

Man, I got Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket. Really gassin for this "81" Kramer strathead Pioneer imperial in trans-caramel. With original tweed case. P bass killer!!

 

$1500 after it's said and done. Not sure how i feel about something so vintage and that long being shipped all the way from NY.

 

I've been playing bass in local metal bands for 15 years. We just played blue ridge rock fest back in September. Look us up. RoachZilla

 

Gotta ask the obvious. Who's wearing the dress?

 

Vocalist. Long story short, the festival had a fan page on facebook. Our band got interacted with fans months beforehand and one of the people dared or made a bet with him to wear it. Him being a f×ck it type dude, he did it.

 

Thought maybe he was just airin his junk out on a hot summer day.

 

I'm really surprised no one even tried to eek out jingle bells this year. I'm dissapointed.

 

@jungleman would have done it.

 

Mid 90s standard. Sunburst with Tortoise Shell Pickguard. Love this combo

 

This is an excellent channel for beginners. He only uses three very easy basic chords (G, Cadd9, and D). I started playing 5 years ago at 45 and play almost every day. Once you get a few chords down and your fingers stop hurting, it becomes extremely enjoyable. Good luck and don’t quit.

Thanks, will check it out!

Funny, that, about the fingers. I watched a couple videos and started practicing some chords, and the next day found I couldn’t feel the tip of my left forefinger at all. Weeks later it’s still semi numb. Must sacrifice for the music.

 

It will take a little numbness. Make sure your not squeezing to hard it only a takes enough pressure to make the note. Keep your hand loose and shake it out !

 

I’m 100% pressing too hard, getting the right grip and getting my fingers to be perpendicular to the neck so I don’t press on multiple strings, part of my basic initial challenges.

 

Stretch your hands before you begin. This will help you, if you begin to cramp up, take a break and stretch. Come back at it.

Don’t overdue it when you begin, it’s better to come back and sit down multiple times a day vs 1/2hrs straight when you begin.

 

@Hook78 look up Justin Guitar - he has a website with structured courses. He offers a free beginner’s course that is outstanding. One of the best that I have seen and it builds for quite sometime, so you continue to see progression in your knowledge that is also applied to songs. You will really enjoy it.

Also, you may need to have the action of your strings/guitar set up a bit different to make it easier to play, or even lighter strings on your guitar for a while so you get use to playing and not have pain.

And like Built2Ride says, don’t over do it to start.

But enjoy, the guitar is much fun!
