    OK. It's no trick' date=' just a bit of knowledge.

     

    Sometimes mediocre is good enough. Keep practicing and honing your craft but don't hide yourself away because you think you're "not good enough" yet. I've never considered myself better than mediocre at any instrument I play but I've always had work when I've wanted it. I haven't played out in more years than many of our members have been alive but now, simply because I recently decided to accept an invitation to jam with some friends, I've been asked to contribute to a recording project and do a few supporting gigs. These guys play all the time and they want ME. I don't get it.

     

    But that's the way it's been my entire life. When I put myself out there and have some fun with other musicians, it always leads to paying work. (Yes, you actually get paid for doing this!)

     

    So don't hide! Don't be shy! Don't think you're not good enough. Practice, practice, practice...and put yourself out there with some other musicians and have some fun. And don't be surprised when someone wants to hook up with you.

     

    Great advise Cruzn.... Thanks! I was just thinking after band rehearsal tonight how much I suck and I'm the worst player in the band. i still can't figure out why they want me....[confused]

    Thanks Guys..[/quote']

     

    Hey thanks man... Your avatar is very cool as well! I love special FX... ;)

     

    BTW... Did you do a Tim special guitar cabinet too? When I saw his I loved it and asked him to send me the plans. There were no plans but he sent me some good photos and I had it made from that. I get so many comments on it and I always give Tim his credit. I hope you post some pics of it I'd love to see your version. I did mine slightly oversized and it can hold a couple more guitars than Tim's original design. He suggested that I make mine a bit bigger. I'm glad I did too because my JP EDS 1275 just makes it in...

    One thing for sure the 1959 burst phenomenon will never happen again... As kids and computers take over the music scene guitar legends are fading away... There is a better chance that your guitar will go up in value because of a shortage of wood rather than because the Rock Stars of the future are using them...
