Wanna know what pisses me off?

There are no wrong notes just bad ears.

That sounds like the words of someone that realizes he'll never have the skills it takes to play country music. Playing country requires you to articulate notes without gobs of distortion from a Bugera with the gain dimed. It requires dynamics and accurate string bending and chords constructed of more than the root and the fifth. When they harmonize in country they don't necessarily play straight parallel thirds but they do play double and triple stops at crazy tempos - not like when you pretend to be Yngwie with your Boss pitch shifter. And they don't need to use their neck pickup and tons of delay just to play above the 12th fret.

But hey, you go wave your little flag

oh yea, thats me. I am totally talentless. I just sit in my bedroom with my bugera on 10 playing a bad attempt at yngwie stuff. then I just get frustrated and stick to playing "smoke on the water" out of time with the strings slightly bent out of tune so it sounds like two cats fucking in a barwire fence. If I could only be so cool to learn country.

I hate carnies. They smell of cabbage.

small hands.

Jazz - is that the music where they play wrong notes?

fuck, I thought there were just 12 notes till I heard Jazz. I think those fuckers made up a few more.

Boxcar Wille!!! where the fukk have you been????

Hey Tommy! Just been living life man, after looking at a few threads on here I will have to retreat to my pitiful existence of playing and listening to shit music with boring gear and a closed minded attitude. Email me sometime if you want to catch up! ethanricks @ gmail.com

[VitaminG]

No, that's the music where they play the right notes... Because sooner or later, if you play all of the notes fast enough, you're bound to play the right one. :ROTF:

(Actually like PowerTube said, that works for most shred, too.)

oh, you mean like a Steve Morse solo?

hey Boxcar, there have been a few digs thrown about in this thread but don't take any of them personally. That's tonemonster's job

[tonemonster]

I did not realize I had a job. shit.......there goes the unemployment.

Really, I thought all it took was a banjo, slide guitar and a backwoods you gotta purty mouth accent??? Oh, and a jug. You learn something new every day!

Besides, one can only hear just so many notes in one evening. Ask Mozart.

[tonemonster]

Actually, I don't like most country either. Just stokin' the fire :ROTF:

Yea, right. we know your into your sister. we know.

Back on topic. Smokers being treated like 2nd class citizens these days. Some cities we cant even smoke in public at all(inside or out), but in the same city I can go to a bar get shit faced, drive home and wreck and kill your Aunt Bertha. Not that Im against alcohol(I am anti drunk driving however), its just absurd to me. Highly!!

dude, get this...........I am not a smoker, but I do agree with you on this smoking ban stuff. Our county board or council passed an ordinance to make smoking illegal in all public places in our county. now who the fuck died and made them god? outlaw smoking? come on people, you are county board members, not supreme court judges!!!! fuck there is no damn state law on this, how the hell does a county board get the authority to pass a law? they arent fuckin lawmakers, they are supposed to decide how much money to spend on road repairs, to shop health insurance prices for county employees, to approve budgets, shit like that, not make laws. too many fuckin laws......thats whats wrong with this fucking country. the government is just full of people that think making laws are going to solve everything. yea, go you on with your badself there lawmaker. we can already see how effective laws are........ I mean look how laws stop drugs, and stop murders, and stop arson and child abuse. yea, just go ahead and make some more laws. that will solve everything. I mean it instantly made my health better when they passed that smoking law.

I dont agree with the laws either(obviously), but Ill side somewhat with anti-smoking inside. 99% of businesses have been that way since the late 80s early 90s anyhow. The resturaunt biz and bars were the only hold outs and I understand that some anti-smokers just dont want to be around smoke for whatever their reasoning and I get that; but for you to tell me that my smoke in the open air is dangerous to you(by you I speak in generalities) is perposterous!!! The ppm solution of the smoke from my cigarette out doors in the air you breath would be in the hundredths of a percent maybe thousandths if not immeasurable unless you were standing directly next to me on a calm day and I blew the smoke directly in your face. Id really love for someone reputable and non-government to actually prove this.

My 200,000 mi. mid 90s SUV emits more toxic fumes per minute than a group of smokers could ever imagine to emit, and seeing that my model SUV was one the most popular in the 90s,I know Im not the only one, and its still legal to drive it(for now anyhow).
