Hey all, can someone refresh my memory on how to do this on this forum?

oh yea, absolutely.

We record at my sons studio. He sends me the Pro Tools tracks on Work In Progress stuff, I can take my time develop my parts, after I import them, when I am done I just ship them back, and he drops em into the master project in Pro Tools All done via drop box. I just wish I was more proficient in pro-tools once I stop working full time that is one of my projects to embark on

100%

amen to that! nothing annoys me more that this crap right here.

I've been at this since I was 10. I'm 67 in about 6 weeks. I think wherever I was getting to, I'm probably already there. There's always something to learn, some elements theory I could improve my knowledge on. Or a new number that I'm interested in, that's maybe a challenge, like some of Tommy E's stuff or guys like that. (Gerhard, De Grassi, etal.) Is that practicing, or "learning" something new? Scales, chord changes, chord voicings, I don't practice those. I mean, sure.. we all I did at one time, but now , after all these years with a guitar in my hands, they all just come without thinking about it. I still play every day. how much time varies. Could be a whole Saturday morning, or afternoon, could be a half hour after work is done and anything in between. The only woodshedding I think I still do is when I have a solo gig on the schedule and I want to add a few new tunes, and warm up the pipes so I can perform 3 full sets of singing. Good topic, made me think about it a bit. I need to practice thinking more!

These are two great musicians. I've always liked Walter, I think he's great. Beth is tremendous. As for the song, I like it.

That is a swing and a miss. LOL that label is hysterical

yep, more than likely America loves it's cheap labor! Just look at what has happened to the IT industry. Offshoring has destroyed it.

Maybe that's true Ben, but I don't see it. Certainly not to the degree that happens with the complaining about Gibson Prices. Nothing new either.

20 dollar tuners are expendable items IMHO. I have three or four of them. that ball joint on the Snarks wear out, and once that happens, they get real flakey, well actually they stop working all together. When they start acting up, I toss em and I don't replace them. The Peterson Strob-o-clip HD I've had for about 4 years now, has held up quite well. I guess it's still down to, ya get what ya pay for.

Nice guitars are getting expensive. That's from any of the companies doing this. I'm not sure why no one talks about the prices the "other" guys are placing on their upper end line ups.

You do seem to have a lot of knowledge and history in your head. We appreciate that kind of insight. There are better ways to participate on this forum. We're mostly an opened bunch and we like talking about this stuff. There' really little need or benefit in talking down to this crew. First impressions last the longest. Take that for whatever worth you can find. This is the last reply I'll add to this thread.

I’ll start the Jiffy Pop. Scott, that be an excellent idea, definitely gonna need more popcorn!

Sparky's right as I too have been shamed on stage for playing Les Pauls with no long neck tenon, And years of counseling, and I've still not gotten over it...

I just got a picking sound with no tone. If I read this right, seems that the D string is fretting out not producing notes on those frets. Do I understand you correctly? If YES, this isn't intonation. Intonation is the pitch of the string struck "opened" (not fretted anywhere) and the pitch of the same string at the played at the 12th fret. when intonated properly, the pitch of that string should be identical when played OPENED and played at the 12th fret EG: It should not be sharp or flat when using a tuner, from the "in tune" open "D" note to "D" note played on the D String at the 12th fret. if you are not getting a note to ring out on those frets, that is to do with relief of the neck, a reverse bow in the neck, high frets, or something else. Take it to a setup tech

so plugged in, but not turned on... hmm, a bit of a paradox isn't it! (not sure if this is really a paradox. but I just really wanted to use the word paradox today) and there it is THREE times no less. I'll show myself out.

here we go again...................

the bridge assembly isn't right. It COULD have been replaced, but that's definitely not stock.

The wife wanted to do a super bowl party, even though we have no real affiliation to either team. (Pats fans, so yea yuk it up! We'll be back soon orrrrrrrrrrrr maybe not..! LOL! eeesh!) so I guess a super bowl party we're havin... what evah!

no actually I have not, I'll have to look that up.

I like Marshalls! good idea!

I guess the easiest way to describe it for me would be the oils in your skin are penetrating the top layers of the finish. Nitro takes a long time to cure and it's quite mailable until it does. My J200 (bought in 2016) and my wine red lp standard (new in 1995) both show the arm haze. darker finishes, seems to be a bit more noticeable. I have other Gibsons where it's not as noticeable. You can buy "guitar sleeves" to cover your skin where it touches the upper bout. some guys cut up white knee socks.

"young and stupid is no way to go thru life people" eventually the young part goes away,, so what are ya left with then?

how loud is this hum anyway? Some line level noise is normal.
