    Do your fingers stink after playing the guitar?

    Only after playing the G string.

    Ran into Eric Johnson and later saw Monte Montgomery!!

    Very cool in all respects. I can hear why EJ likes that song. Great post, Tex.

    When can one call themselves a guitar player?

    You're a guitar player until you hear someone esle who is so much better than you that they make you realize what it takes to be a real guitar player. Then you go home and bust your ass and become a guitar player again.

    Easiest Floyd Song/Solo

    That's a good point. In fact, in one of the cuts on the new solo record there appears to be a 6-string lead track that morphs into a pedal steel track, back and forth woven together. I think it my be the song "The Blue." The result is very cool.

    Easiest Floyd Song/Solo

    "Time" is a good one. Very melodic. But perhaps my all time favorite to play is "Echoes." The Pompeii version.

    BR1600CD-ENDLESS recording

    That's seems wierd. Are you saying you can't record a song longer than 5 minutes? My 1180 doesn't stop itself.

    distortion pedal?

    The Ibenez Tubescreamer is the best sounding "mellow" disortion pedal, IMHO.

    Guitar solo performance

    How about a 12 bar blues in G, with lots of chord substitutions and embellishments. Use a bunch of nines, raised nines, flat 5/raised 9's, 13's, a bunch of half steps into and out of chord changes, etc. Can be easy to execute but really impressive.

    Please help w/Boss br1180cd

    You don't need to erase the presets. You can create "User" rhythm patterns and arrangements. And you can adjust the BPM of imported loops. I've done that, but only once or twice and don't recall the procedure off hand. But I haven't tried running a drum machine into it. There is a...

    Please help w/Boss br1180cd

    I'm trying to visualize the machine, and I hope this is correct. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain it better: To adjust the BPM on the 1180, activate the Rhythm Arranger by pressing that button, then press the Rhythm Arranger edit button. The screen will display a bunch of info...

    Phasing

    Good explanation, Benny. A follow up question: how does a newbie recognize a phase "problem." What does it sound like?

    Re-coning speakers

    The reason I asked was . . . I have a pair of Rogersound Labs studio monitors. In the '80s these were among the best on the market (or so I've been told). I've used them continuously for 20 years, and they still sound great. But I wonder if a little service could maximize their performance...
