Sometimes I am creative and sometimes I am not. Part of it is wanting to be creative. Not that you can turn it on or off, but wanting to write can sometimes make it easier. ( sometimes harder) Picking up a different guitar can help. Hearing different songs can help. but thinking about life in general rather than your specific life can also help. Sometimes when things are going good for you, you have to not think about your life but think about a fantasy, or daydream. Something other than your everyday existence. Anger and frustration have always helped me but I tend to be sorta blues based.

Because of another thread... ZZ Top.

84 proto II. Talent show as a teacher. quick crop to remove the kids.

Yea, that is Eddie and what I loved about VH's music on those first 4 albums.

Yep, dreamhost has been flakey for me also. Didn't realize the hfc was on dreamhost.

Some great choices in this thread.

Life is fucking amazing! Congrats on a masterpiece!

That is now a lotto guitar (see bold). This custom is just freaking awesome now that I have been properly slapped. edited for clarity.

Letters fail me. Love it.

Duh, I did not catch that. Thanks for the slap in the head!

Awesome. What kind of tremolo is that?

Thanks. Well just to balance the scales. My daughter turned in her application for Nation Honor Society today. She makes me very proud. She is also multi-talented.

Sorry to be debbie downer, but I got notified my position is being eliminated but I can apply for a pool for the positon that will replace me and two other staff.....! Happy days!

Don't know if this fits in multiple ways but love this solo from this one of their Power pop songs. Video cuts the solo off though. :-(

Well, 41 pages isn't exactly 104, but it took the Boobies thread almost two years to get to page 41. This thread is only 3 months old (to the day!). Really, Caddie... What were you thinking? Hang your head.

I bought a Pecan log roll at cracke barrel. Yum!

@ robbie that what I intended to say but you said it well. They are both responsible. Jobs had many of the ideas first, But Gates had the MUCH better execution of the ideas. We wouldn't be where we are without both of them.

Let's get one thing straight: Gates changed the world, Jobs followed a distant second for decades. It is the 20 and 30-somethings that are too young to remember this fact and have held Jobs up to the God-like status he currently holds (even posthumously). It was Bill Gates' dream that everyone would have a computer in their homes at a time what this was simply ludicrous. This is what brought Internet into every home. You can debate that Jobs improved on Gates' ideas, but that's not the point. The reason we are all here discussing anything on a message board in the first place is because of Bill Gates. Jobs stole the computer mouse from xerox in or around 1976. Apple and Jobs created Apple I and II by 1977 and built the first GUI based interface for a computer some years later in 1983. The lisa was a colossal failure. Ibm create the first ibm computer in 1981 running ms-dos created by Bill Gates. By 1984 apple released the Macintosh with GUI and mouse. IBM added a mouse in 1987 and windows 3.0 shipped in 1990. I would argue that Gates improved on Jobs ideas or at least incorporated them into Windows which really started the business use of computers. Many home user were buying atari's and comodores and such as well as apples and IBM's with Windows. Gates took it mainstream with Windows that really started the use of computers at home. Jobs also revolutionized home computers with the iMac. A simple machine designed for home users. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/?year=1976

For a 9 year, sounds pretty good to me. He is getting the parts and will no doubt improve many aspects of his playing in later life. As to the bolded part on timing issues. There's my new excuse. I've never grown up!

Just wanted to give a big hell yeah! Still having problems with this but I probably wouldn't be playing at all if not for this stuff. It's on the tips and I am rocking out right now with some new Amplitube Jimi Hendrix Marshall sims

Btw, I don't cuss much, just wanted to reinterate just how FUCKING HARD it can be...

Mixing and mastering is hard. Really fucking hard. Drive you fucking crazy on the rooftop hard. But it is really fucking fun too!

I don't have as much of a problem recording my self playing really. I've always recorded myself playing. I actually still have a tape or two of me playing in the first few weeks of starting to learn. (what this says about me.. ) It is singing that I can't handle recording myself. I totally tense and change my voice. Rarely can I get relaxed and not pay attention to the mic.
