Guitar Discussion V10 - February 2013 edition - General

[IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/aqua-lover/2011-06-16_15-46-52_679.jpg[/IMG] I need to come up with something interesting to do with the old NASA Explorer, it's not getting played at all anymore. Today I taped off the back of the neck and rubbed it down with steel wool to make the lacquer less sticky. It helped a bit, but the fretboard is still sticky and probably needs cleaned. It might be cool to get a safety cover for the 3-way switch, like you see on aircraft and such. Fits the vibe.

it might be cool if "nasa" weren't upside down too [editline]1st March 2013[/editline] aside from that I think the knurled metal knobs would look more aircrafty than those

If I were to buy a gibson It would be an '84 explorer or an old school flying v.

Fuck how come every time I drink I spill beer on my guitar, this time my guitar wasn't even in my hand... My guitar is gonna smell like a brewery pretty soon.

be more careful

[QUOTE=absinthe;39768239]be more careful[/QUOTE] Impossible when you are drunk...

well

I'm drunk as shit, 12 bottle of beer I am on now. Oh well I can't imagine beer being all that bad for a guitar.

Don't ask how much has been poured on Elvin Bishop's Red Dog. Poor ES-345.

It just adds to the sentimental value to me.

Nothing could sound close to Red Dog. That guitar's been played since Paul Butterfield was a thing.

You know as I sit here the keyboard looks like a giant blur but for some reason I can make perfect sense and type with perfection... I am probably gonna look at this tomorrow and wonder what the hell I was talking about though :downs:

It's a good experience for me, it makes me feel like I am a better player but I have yet to record myself drunk playing guitar.

Hahaa I should try that but it's late

[video=youtube;KjgD1HIVFC4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjgD1HIVFC4[/video] Do you guys know anything about the Peavy Vandenbergs?

[QUOTE=absinthe;39768598]yeah anyone that starts typing all fucked up when they're drunk is just a tool because being drunk doesn't make you type worse[/QUOTE] Yeah I can hold an intelligent conversation even tough I am wasted. I would guess that is because I have the chance to think while typing. Unlike a vocal conversation.

[QUOTE=Nazereth666;39768429]I'm drunk as shit, 12 bottle of beer I am on now. Oh well I can't imagine beer being all that bad for a guitar.[/QUOTE] Remind me to not spill any Jagermeister on mine tonight :v:

[QUOTE=absinthe;39768598]yeah anyone that starts typing all fucked up when they're drunk is just a tool because being drunk doesn't make you type worse[/QUOTE] Nnno dude its totally fkcus with yor handadweye coordinates MAN I hate that shit as well. It's one of those indicators that the person probably got "drunk" off cough syrup/vanilla extract/O'Doul's. [editline]2nd March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;39768642]Do you guys know anything about the Peavy Vandenbergs?[/QUOTE] I know that you misspelled Peavey and that I think they're ugly.

[QUOTE=Nazereth666;39768531]It's a good experience for me, it makes me feel like I am a better player but I have yet to record myself drunk playing guitar.[/QUOTE] I did that at a christmas party, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as it sounds good to you.

that applies to most music

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;39769204]I did that at a christmas party, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as it sounds good to you.[/QUOTE] How do I make original stuff that sounds good to me, though? That's my biggest issue so far, I haven't written any songs because I feel that everything I come up with isn't good enough. I compare it to what I like to listen to or what I like to play and it's not even in the same ball park. And of course it's not, I already know I'm nowhere near as good at composition as say Brian Wilson or Brownie McGhee, so why do I compare myself to them and how do I stop? Or, how do I get on that level to where I don't feel like everything I write is shit in comparison? Also posting under the influence is the story of my life, but I practically never misspell things. I just happen to sometimes say things that people think are dumb.

I will say that texting while pretty drunk is hard, especially with a touch screen. I honestly give up sometimes if it doesn't autocorrect it for me

I can barely use my phone's touch screen keyboard stone sober

printing that picture so I can dance on it

I have a feeling he will lurk.
