thanks guys!
I didn't miss too many tours Sarge.
S & A was a cool concert. We pulled about 25/30 ppl together, hired out a bus to get into town and rented one of the luxury boxes at TD Garden.
The Guild sounds fine, and we'll give you a pass on the Rush artwork.
ha! That stuff has been there so long I kinda forgot it was there -- till I watched the video. yea.. - Fan boy much? I'll fall on my sword at some point.

Just paste the url directly into the body, nothing more.
so easy even a cave man could do it!
I thought there used to be a bit of a trick to it at one time, I've not done this in a while.
too easy
thanks Scott

so I'm a Rush fan, always have been always will be.
This tune is an Alex Lifeson instrumental off the Snakes and Arrows album released in 2007
Guild 12 string in DADAAD tuning. Recorded on Galaxy S10, which is these days good for like cave drawings and stuff.

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

By far, the hardest instrument I've learned to play is the voice. And yes, it needs constant use, at stage volumes. If you don't keep your chops up, the muscles will weaken and the vocal cords will lose their tone.
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

If you don't sing fairly often, and do so as though you are playing and singing for an audience, those pipes can get weak and become tired easily.

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

Considering there was not exactly a flood of offers forthcoming when the Rooney Pace Group put Gibson up for sale, if Henry J, had not stepped in the Gibsons you are buying today would more than likely be coming out of China.
yep, more than likely America loves it's cheap labor!
Just look at what has happened to the IT industry. Offshoring has destroyed it.

I'm sure they whine and snivel on those forums, as well.
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.

"I get it"
I doubt it.
"Why not introduce yourself, and tell us a bit about your years of playing Fuji-gen guitars"
Nah. Online forums just aren't fun anymore. Back in 2000 they were entertaining but now they enforce blandness and uniformity. I'm only here to talk neck joints.
So back to that- The neck joint is the root of all evil in gibson guitar construction. That's the one change they need to make to start building good guitars again. You ever notice that if you want to buy a 1971 strat you'd have to pay around 9 grand but the price of 70's les pauls never goes up? They have never become that collectible while japanese copies of Gibsons have gone through the roof. You could buy a 1965 gibson sg for 5k but a 65 strat would cost you 20 grand. Ever since norlin came up with this new neck joint, gibson instruments have been consistently subpar. Gibson still exists because every now and again a rockstar playing a gibson makes it big. This last time when Slash turned them around it for them he wasn't even playing a gibson, he was playing a replica. Gibson has thought of different schemes to stay in business but it would be really simple for them to return to being a quality guitar maker.
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.

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

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