Similar happened with me.... 12 years old I wanted an electric guitar for Christmas. Woke up to what I didn't know at the time a Vox Phantom copy, white full top pick guard, black body. What the heck is this thing, wasn't exactly what I'd expected. In hindsight pretty cool, weird at the time. A...

Isn't Brian May's tone at least on some of the recordings attributed to "the Deacy" amp, a solid state amp built back in the day by John Deacon? It's been a while, but I think I read for practicality purposes he uses Vox amps live, but has had replica Deacy amps built for recording purposes...

When I use one, which is rare, it's a schubb. Recording I may at times use without on one track, and with on another. I don't know, maybe gives it a Nashville tuning type sound. My nephew uses one a lot, leaving it in place for long periods of time. He experiences quite a bit of fret wear...

I think I've been there before just browsing around after I got the Dobro and was curious about pedal steel. Like I said, I'm seeing pretty much a consistent few grand as standard pricing on the used market. At that, one had best be prepared to put in the time to learn proficiency to justify the...

Are you running a volume predal for swells and general volume adjustment?

Yeah, I know they're not cheap. I'd love to have one. I've looked into wondering if I could, you know, pick up a cheap one. Even at that on the low end it's a bit of a commitment. I saw one in the pic you posted of your stable, didn't comment, but pretty cool. The only pic among those posted who...

You don't suck. Depending on what you're going for, which isn't my place to determine, it might be too busy. You might be upstaging and stepping all over the vocal. Try laying back on it, accompany the vocal, a call-response. Swells, then prepare some lines for the solo(s). Keep at it. I'd love...

"People music, some I like, some I don't. What kind of music do you enjoy?"

I can't say. But I do know they have 2 Ls, and i'm pretty sure one of the Ls stand for lips. Spitty lips. Foul, belligerent creatures, Llamas.

Incapacity. Strike the im and po with the tence word. I believe the word I was actually searching for was incapacity. I might have gotten a little carried away with the dramatics there. I blame the damn Llama. ?

I've decided the song is worth further consideration. I played it for others in the younger generation of family, they seemed to like it, said they'd never heard it before, and even said it sounded like something (my nephew) might sing. So I have another in the works that came quite easily to...

Crap. For some reason I can't edit it out. I click edit and it's not there to remove. Confused, and now I feel the llama is mocking my impotence. En garde, you loathsome beast! I shall pen a shanty which will forever more scatter your seed in the highlands far from the sea.

Interesting. Although i'm not entirely sure what you're getting at, I appreciate you taking the time. Speaking of swashbucklers, here's a photo of the nephew I was speaking of doing his acting gig with a touring company. The pandemic kind of put a halt to things there, hopefully things will get...

Yeah, my brother tells me I should do that. I've considered getting one of those little handhelds, zoom H6 I think it is. I went out of town last weekend and considered taking everything with me, had it all broken down but reconsidered. That's why I dropped by the house, to record the idea real...

I tried the google thing, saying "what's this song" then doing "dah dah dahs. Pretty wild, one came up that if you hold your head just right it vaguely resembles what I have. The other 2. either they have also yet to write lyrics, or they were in a foreign language. I think one was Japanese. lol...

We are a product of our influences. I typically don't sweat it. Even if someone says, "Hey, that sounds kind of like ____", or I recognize it myself. At times I may even embrace it. With this one, I guess that is why I kind of question it, because the genre of music if you will is not exactly...

Wasn't sure what to call the thread.... What to be done to determine whether something you've made-up/written has actually already been written by someone else? What to do? What do you do? Context: At least fifty percent of the time I write in my head before even picking up an instrument. I...

I don't know, I just threw that out there. To me a lamentation is maybe a bit more drawn out, a hymn of sorts, possibly. Yours stands well on its own, short. There are some lines I can't quite make out, but whoever the narrator or whatever he might have gone through seems to be offering comfort...

Did you ever see any of the documentaries? A very sad and odd case. The "West Memphis Three" is a reference not to the children killed, but rather to the 3 teenagers accused of the murders. They were in some senses railroaded by a corrupt local justice system. The documentary filmmakers got...
