Dang, makes me wonder how emo bands are gonna look like in 30 years, and how they're gonna handle it!

When I was 12 years old, my family doctor said to me "You've got hair just like your daddy! (None BTW) You're gonna be bald by the time your 20!"

Just what a twelve year old wants to hear! He thought it would create some father/son bond--it just scared me. My dad has that ring around the sides though, so I swore when mine started going, I'd shave it all. I'd rather be radical & shiny (it WAS radical at the time) than look like a Jr. High Asst Principal. I made it past 20, but I've been shaving it for quite a few years now.

Your emo bands? They'll be here:

What a dumb ass of a doctor!

Sorry dude :D
 
Three more:
1. It's the Indian, not the arrow.
2. It's not how fast you play, it's what you say with your playing.
3. It's all about the song, not the technique.

For those of us who use their brain for more than hair food, I've been told that proud baldness is far superior to denial or fakery.
 
The Three Secrets of Guitar:

1. There are no secrets
2. Work to become highly skilled - ears and hands (they're different skills but linked)
3. Be sensitive to, and get enjoyment from, everyting you play... especially the smallest sonic and expressive details.

And so this applies to both the real topic at hand (guitars) and the digression (baldness).

I like my playing enough to be happy with almost any guitar; I'm okay with myself enough to groove on my shiny head! :D

What are three ingredients that make me dislike a band's music Alex. I'll take prog rock for $800.

Or for some of us: "What are three ingredients that make me love a band's music Alex. I'll take prog rock for $800.

I'm not sure I understand the disdain for prog rock. The main complaint seems to be that it's too technical. But technical isn't bad, is it? If done without emotion, sure it's lifeless--but that's true of all music. (Despite it's moniker even emo can be without emotion, then it's lifeless.) But when passion meets precision and a complex arrangement is filled with emotion--well, that's the best of both worlds.

I can't play half of what I listen to--and that half is prog rock. While I wish I could, it won't kill me if I never get there. In the meantime, Morse, Petrucci, Portnoy et. al. will only benefit me as they inform my playing.

As a corollary, these are not The Three Killer Guitar Secrets, but rather my own personal Five Guitar Truths.

1) No matter how much I feel like a rock star, on the video I look like a pudgy bald guy making weird faces while wanking on a guitar.
5) No matter how much I look like a pudgy bald guy making weird faces while wanking on a guitar on the video, I still feel like a rock star.

....And what an axe player looks like, has not a damn thing to do with his/her "true" Hotness....it's the way he/she uses those fingers....;):D
 
:confused:

Have any of you 8 string naysayers ever heard of Charlie Hunter?

Do a search at google or youtube.

Better yet.....buy one of his CDs.

:)

That's true ...... but it does make a difference in how much money he makes. You have to sell the whole package.

Metalhead ...... shaved bald is very cool for certain types of music and for certain people. I look better with a pony tail to my butt and a hat.
 
So, has anyone figured out the Three Killer Guitar Secrets yet?

Yes, but I can't tell because it is a secret.
 
There is only 1 secret: You must be smarter than your guitar.

I understand that...and my thoughts are, of course, what gets ME, all turned on about guitar players...:D They can strip me down and feel me up, without actually touching me. Hell, even Angus Young can make me close my eyes and shiver me liver....knee highs and all...well... not my liver, but you know what I mean...:eek::D
