I forget what I said I went nutso on pedals, considering I bought them before I had an amp (which i only just ordered) I bought an MXR phase 45. I like the more subtle, slow always-on phaser sound. I hate wah. Hate it. I made a list since I knew I'd lose track: check this one out. the vintage stuff i bought off of reverb or buyvintagepedals. yeah, i blew through some of my bitcoin funny money pretty fast... come to think of it, the tuner is the only cheap pedal in the lot. oh, and for the lols: (i dont have this one)

I came for the lols, and stayed for the pie.

woke up sore as shit.

Happy birthday

i want a flamethrower

this sucks. got my walkway, driveway and 300 mile sidewalk completely finished, my neighbor came home and parked partially in front of my house in such a way that that the plow basically only did the opposite side of the road, with a consolation prize of a mountain of wet, clumpy snow on the other half of the road going up to my driveway. i started to shovel out the road late this afternoon and the stuff feels 5 times as heavy as the first foot or so of snow I shoveled this morning. it would have been better if he hadn't plowed at all, i suspect.

i don't think Nate would do a local pickup, he's a few minutes north if i do end up shipping it to anyone, there is no way I could get it out this week. maybe we can do a MSPaint competition: temporary zany head-case banners? freestyle?

rock, paper, scissors?

campus is closed, yay

I still have the Simple SE in my den. I'm pretty sure it doesn't get too hot, but I haven't had it turned on in at least a year. Available for local pickup in Silver Spring, MD. I think I also have extra tubes for it. I can't recall what tubes it takes though.

shellac - at action park its an odd sensation to have to turn the volume up on something aggressive like this

are you keeping all of these? i used to have a taylor with a bunch of bling, even though i don't care about bling my theory was that blingy guitars necessarily require more hand attention, and stand to have the best fret detailing and intonation. at least in the case of the taylor, this held true.

No time to grocery shop. Just ordered 2 XL pizzas, 16 wings, 2L of mountain dew and a chocolate chip cookie. LETS DO THIS

like a non-sober Reznor doing ambient drone version of downward spiral or maybe if he did a soundtrack to breaking bad instead of social media point is, its fucking DARK

yep!

that looks like it will get the job done!

You have to work it. Play while watching tv, until you're not even thinking about it. At least thats what I did in college. Try to learn how to execute harmonics, and you'll learn different ways to hold a pick. I try to choke up on the pick, so only the tiniest portion is exposed beyond thumb and fingertip. Where you strum matters: between the soundhole and the neck is warmer than way back by the bridge. Upstrokes are lighter than downstrokes. Every little thing makes a difference, but thats part of the fun. I think I usually use three fingers to strum. No hard and fast rules against it imo. I remember liking thicker picks on electric, thinner on acoustic. I just got some Dunlop Jazz 3 picks, (standard and Eric Johnson versions) and the logo is raised, providing extra grip. Its a non-tortex material, which is a departure for me. Much smaller shape than the tortex too, which helps with choking up on them. I've forgotten 99% of what I used to know, but can read tab with ease compared to when it was 'new' for me. \ I wasted a lot of college trying to learn Tommy Emmanuel's ONLY album, but was never able to fully memorize any of those, or master them up to speed. I still remember a tiny bit of Jim Croce stuff. Currently working on a Joe Pass tune. By working on I mean just familiarizing myself with a small portion of it.
