F wound need to be D minor. 

There I fixed it.

My music theory is . . . well I have none. Thanks for the fix. I'm surprised I can remember the cowboy chords.

On the piano?   Yes...of course....but not when I was alone.....THAT would be weird!

But you're right....about half of what I post on here is pure BS.

All of what I post here is BS. And I'm not really a Sargent. Actually anything I said I have done, or places I've been, or shows I have seen, I have not lied about.

I'm thinking half of everything posted here is PURE BS.   (incl. this thread).   The other half -    Chinese/Mexican  Imported BS.

And THAT is why I NEVER get my panties in a wad about anything posted here.

I do enjoy several people on here.... I became friends with a few members who are no longer active, (Leslie, Fred & Stephen). 

But, if someone disagrees with something I said....heck, I don't even agree with myself 100% of the time.

That was why I stated that one thread Post Whatever You Want. That is all we need. Everything here has been discussed on this, and every other guitar forum 1000x over and over.

ha!  you're fine without it really 

it can be stuff that can get in the way at times if you over thinking, but can helpful when those times come.

I've been in originals bands for a long time, (Well one band really.. same guys mostly)

I tend to be the guy everyone turns around an looks at when we get stuck on a modulation or middle 8.

That is why I have tab books, so it shows me where to put my fingers. Mostly in the wrong spots of course.

DON’T PLAY GUITAR WITH CHEAP JEANS
(a Country song)

C
Don’t play guitar with cheap jeans
                                                        G
I remember my mama used to say

“And make sure your drawers are clean”
                                                                 C
She’d wash, dry and fold them ever’ day


C
Don’t forget to brush and floss
                                                      G
Gotta protect those pearly whites

And if you’re gonna douse your eggs with A1 sauce
                                                                C
mind your napkin and chew each bite


              F
When she went off to Tutwiler Prison
                                      C
I cried and cried all day
   F
As sure as the Lord died and arisen
                                  G
I can still hear her say

 


C
Don’t play guitar with cheap jeans, Johnny
    G                                           C
Look pretty when you go to play

(pedal steel guitar solo)
C  G C G    F  F  C


              F
When she went off to that women’s Prison
                                      C
I cried and cried all day
   F
As sure as the Lord died and arisen
                                  G
I can still hear her say

 


C
Don’t play guitar with cheap jeans, Johnny
    G                                           C
And send me some of your pay

(spoken)
And cigarettes, and magazines.
Maybe a case of Tab diet soda

C
(fade)


Okay, I'm gonna shut up now.

Love you, too Sheepdog1969.

Whenever I go back to try and play and sing that composition, I end up changing the chords and adding more, for more nuance.

But yes, that's the essence of songwriting and collaboration.
We always strive to improve, and to evolve a song.

🙂

I fear you're right. 

Actually, your thread was a good idea. I'm not sure why it was removed.

I do. Someone when to a place they shouldn't. A mod saw the post and it went to the Forbidden Zone, like in Planet Of The Apes.

I can read music like a book, but tablature for me is like watching an octopus trying to put on socks.

Paul McCartney read music just as good as I do. Oh wait we both don't. I'm just a bedroom rock star, and it would be nice to be able to do, but I don't need to, to make a living.

I don't think any of those Beatles could read music. EVH didn't either.

EVH took piano lessons so he knew how to read music.

Ringo knew how to read music, but the others didn't have any formal music training, but playing in a rock band you really don't need to.

The internet does lie, but EVH is #4. Isn't drums more like tabs. Smack snare on this beat and that beat, Hit bass drum on beats 1, 2, 3, and 4. Hit Ride cymbal here and here ect ect?

You guys might need a room.

Naw.

Sheepdog lives many miles north of me.
645 or so.
Nearly ten hours drive by car.

Even IF we found ourselves attracted beyond intellectual discussions regarding music and musicianship, the distance alone would put the kibosh on any chances of a serious relationship.

So I was playing my les paul traditional with some cheap walmart jeans, and the dye from the jeans rubbed into the laquer on the binding in less than 10 minutes of playing.🤦‍♂️Does anybody know a way to sort of make it look better?

I had a new leather strap that bled onto the binding of my Rickenbacker 620 guitar.

I taped up the finish next to the binding where it was stained & used a Mr. Clean dry eraser to rub the stain out.

Seemed to work for me.

Be careful with cheap tee shirts too…..Especially the designs.

Don't Play Guitar In Cheap Jeans

(And With A Cheap Mexican Whammy Bar)

If that doesn't have Hank Williams, Jr. written all over it I don't know what does.

Would more so if it said,--

"Don't play guitar in cheap jeans in a cheap Mexican whammy bar."  [wink]
