You're such a fashion plate.

Being shallow, I appreciate Veronica's attention to the visuals.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Bula!

Bula Geoff!

It's difficult to only be fabulous two days a week - Girl problems!

 

[BklynKen]

I need to do that one of these days. There's no doubt that my technique is awful.

Yeah, but you look good.

Started plucking the feathers off the '66 NR to begin the process. Already moved the claw back to where it should have been originally. I'm on vacation this week so I'm hoping to make some progress. Get the electronics out, filling holes and hopefully some sanding. It's a shame the body is so shot up like Bonnie and Clyde. The wood is pretty would make for a nice translucent finish.

I never think about doing a route like that for the pickup wire...I have long drill bits. The good thing is I can swap the pickup on my Bach without removing the pickguard.

No way in heck! I’d be looking for a new job, I ain’t wearing those kind of shoes for nobody!

21 holes to mount the bridge! Looks like the previous owner was using the #4 12ga buckshot method.

Screws pulled out and instead of plugging, they relocated… or there was a badass/ Hipshot on it at one time.

I use tab to help me find the notes, especially with busy passages, and often, on the app I use, I make changes as the where I play the part(s) on the neck vs where it’s showing me to play it.




Yeah, I have a few times over the years, and I have yet to find someone I click with. I’d like a teacher that “gets” how my mind works and understands what I’m trying to achieve. The last guy I used was always stoned when I showed up and seemed to just talk “at” me. I also kinda need a lesson plan, with reachable goals, and the few people I’ve tried over the years didn’t seems to understand where I was at. I’ll also take some responsibility here, my discipline isn’t always great, and, literally “at the end of the day”, if it’s not a practice night, I usually won’t touch a bass. Mornings and weekends are when I play alone a lot.

I had a similar experience when I was just starting. I went in for the one and only lesson I ever had and the "teacher" asked what kind of songs I wanted learn?
I said Sex Pistols.
He countered with Hotel California.
I continued to "negotiate" and said how about teaching me theory (I did not know what that meant).
He wrote out a whole bunch of stuff on music paper, handed it to me and told me to "learn all of that" and come back when I had.
I never went back.
I don't know scales or really that much other than notes. I keep meaning to get to a teacher and get focused but since I only play original music, I simply write my own stuff and then teach it to other people in bands, add their contributions and then we have "songs."

All of the above!

A lot of well-known bands have done it just that way.

Any Brittany Force fans here? New top fuel record set. No Thunderbirds harmed.

Back in like 2007 there was a show on A&E I think that featured the Force family. I always like it when the not usual suspects make strides like this.

2015?
