being old and getting sick sucks.

started with sore throat and rapidly progressed to half past dead.

going back to bed.

you'll have to wait on pms and such as I'll probably sleep a tremndous amount.

If I can get enough over the counter in me, I hope so, anyway.

 

Here's a new thread.

gibsons suck! :^o

 

that ought to keep you busy. ](*,)

Nah' date=' has to be "How do you play your beloved Epi, whilst blowing the snot out yer head?"

 

 

Or

 

 

"Is it just Hammer ons and Pull Offs when sampling Kleenex's finest and playing at the same time??"

 

 

Maybe, Twang knowing the kinda guy you are you could practice using the middle digit only, if yer less that 12" then I suggest you try playing in triplets or summat.....

 

Get well soon an hopefully it ain't the Bubonic plague ( Might Feel like it though!):^o

 

Take it Easy Dude and we'll see ya when yer better! default_eusa_wall.gif

Hey.. I'm still sick.

whatever it is. It's lodged in my throat.

But at least I caught up on some sleep.

 

attempting to make some sense of these replies.

I have about twenty guitars, at least, not counting basses and acoustics.

I just don't spend the money on gibsons.

 

I dont know that I would. I mean.. I'd certainly check one out.

Is that true? When I go into the stores, I never do!

 

I guess I think I already know. I'd rather have lots of guitars.

 

Anyway, the whole thing was just a joke. Gibsons are fine.

I just can't justify the expense except for collectibility and resale.

 

There seems to be a general myth.. about perfection.. the idea that one scintilla of extra sustain makes a huge difference.

Or that there is one holy grail of tone.

It seems to me to be more a message of disatisfaction than anything else.

 

Perhaps in the next gibson versus epi thread.. we should just all go look up the actual gear our top ten favorite recordings were made on..

and post pics of the guitars.

Do you think they'll all be the most expensive? The most cosmetically perfect?

 

Doesn't it seem kinda silly sometimes.. that someone will tell you about the greatest whatever in the world.. amp, guitar, pedal. even a pick or set of strings?

There aint so sech a thing, cousin.

 

I have a feeling those Agiles are sometimes as good as, if not better than an epi. and for a lot less money.

I have a feeling those rondos are as good as the music yo guitars.. what the heck are they called?? and the fender squiers, too, sometimes.

I have a feeling that jimmy page put down a 'wowee' and picked up a dano.

But the biggest feeling I have is that all this pissing contest stuff comes out of people who just can't deal with not being seen as the top dog.

It's not about guitars at all. Just egos.

 

Here's one for ya. I've come to hate the sound of almost every Taylor six string I run into.

Generic, lifeless, midrangy, unresponsive. boring.

I despise my 310 dreadnaught.

I'd rather have a couple of cheap yamahas.

 

Nobody probably agrees with that. Do I care? Would I change my mind for them?

Would I feel somehow smaller, or lesser, if NOBODY at all agreed with me?

Nope. Not a bit.

I think people hope to make others seem smaller.. that's about the whole trip.

Like the bluegrass guy I used to know who, when he he'd finally quit bragging about his vast expertise on the banjar,

would then go into these huge social tirades about the leftys and the queers and the commies, and that darn 'jew' ex wife of his.

 

then go home to his mommys house, at 40 years old, and his job as a day laborer.

 

But there you go.. there are also non anecdotal points to be made.. gibsons are darn nice. got their reputation fairly.

and deserve plenty of accolade. People who defend them are not just morons with a grudge--every time.

And, hey, if you want one, you should go for it! I'd say congrats! post a pic!

 

It just wont make anyone a better person in any way. You gotta know that.

Get well soon.

 

Can I recommend a Hot Toddy to ease the misery?

 

1 Tablespoon Honey

1/3 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

3 Ounces Water

1.5 Ounces Irish Whiskey

 

Combine honey and lemon juice, heat until less viscous. Bring water to a boil and add to honey/lemon mixture. Stir in whiskey. Drink quickly, crawl under the covers, drift off.

You drop this in so that talking how good or bad Gibson will be easy to stay on topic.

 

You need to be off in another direction so they can twist it (you know, Indie bands liking Epi's)

 

 

Here's a shot at letting them have at it. - I purchased a bunch of picks the other day, the Big Stubby really is sweet when I use it on my Dot.

it's finally moved into my nose. oh joy.

at least I know what it is now.

and I left the booze out, but honey and lemon and tea aplenty.

chicken soup.

oj.

stuff from the med. cab. that no longer has any label on it. *L*

 

I tried my pick made of a half dollar out again for a while.. jeez does that suck or what?

Must have been the guitar though, cause the pick looks really cool.

TWANG' date=' ever tried this? I swear by it. Looks weird but works great.

My dad used to do that with saline. Said it was very refreshing. Keep in mind that he smoked cigarettes, cigars, and pipes all day long. The saline coming out probably didn't look so clear.

Get best, Twang (because better isn't good enough)

 

And, I figured out years ago that there are only two ways that people use to make themselves #1.

 

By helping others, and allowing them to raise you by acclaim; or,

 

Making everyone else feel even worse, so you appear better by comparison.

 

Guess which some of our correspondents choose?
