Those videos won't play for me!

The first few posts hit every one of mine! When I was a kid, one evening I decided to eat my peas before everyone else sat down at the table. I wanted to get it over with so I could enjoy my dinner. I put some on my plate and asked Mom if that was enough. She said it was, so I held my nose...

The older I get, the more I lean toward KISS. :)

In general, cramps can be caused or made worse by not getting enough potassium in your diet.

I don't know of any company that levels frets on new replacement necks. Not that I know them all, but Fender doesn't level frets on replacement necks either, for example. The two Warmoth necks I've bought were close enough to not need leveling. They even had a little fall-off out of the box.

Read the link that StratUp posted and you'll know. The principles are the same for right and left hand.

That makes sense, although I'd add that the spotter should wear a hard hat!

Same with my '76. It weighs 8 lbs, 0 ounces and has been a great instrument for me since I got it used in late '76.

He's sure right about being dangerous, but I've wondered what good someone at the bottom can do if I'm on a 28 foot ladder that starts to slip. I'd mainly be concerned that I might fall on him and we'd both be hurt or worse.

I can hear a small difference, but it's when I don't quite fret properly and allow a little buzzing. Then stainless is a little zingier. But when I fret properly and the string is held firmly to the fret, I don't hear a difference. For me, the difference is completely unimportant, and the...

Yes, but the story stuck with me, and makes me think whenever I'm high up, whether it's a tower or a ladder, or anything else.

A tower climber friend told me about a guy who worked for the same company, who was young and fairly new to the job, who went way up a tower, put his belt's lanyard around it, accidentally clipped it to his paint can handle instead of the ring on his belt, and leaned back. I use a belt and...

The height takes a little getting used to, at least for me, but the tower isn't going to fall over, and you're wearing a safety harness so you're always attached. At least that's the way I do it. I know pro tower climbers who free-climb to the top and then attach. The views are a big fringe...

I wish you many years of safeness. I don't like ladders. I'd rather go 150' up a tower than 20' up a ladder.

Like some others above, I need a choice that says, "They sound different, but one is not better than the other."

Welcome to the board, blues2blues!

I've added those to all my purchased amps, and included them in the amps I've built. They're very handy to have.

Welcome, argbluesman! Very nice playing, and guitar tone. I grew up and spent the first half of my life in North Bethesda. What part of MD are you in?

It was either that or they realized they weren't going to get anywhere with you so they moved on to the next number.

It seems like if you started slightly more than 1km from the north pole, and went 1km north, you'd be slightly off the north pole. Then if you went west for 1 km, you'd go in small circles for a while. If you're at the right distance from the pole (1/2π meters), when each circle is one meter...

Well, you're in good company. Walter Trout has one like it.

They're all crooked in the same direction. When they're too wide, they get fanned out. My guess is they were sitting off center when the strings were installed, and they stayed that way.

If I break the e string, it's usually at the 9th fret. It's something about bending the D to E that does it. Strat or non-Strat, too... it doesn't make any difference. Welcome to the board, Old Picker!

Thanks, it sounded excellent! Your YT description says "We recorded this live in a small room in my basement which gives it this LoFi sound." Before I read that I had already figureded that it was one those simple, realistic recordings that are my favorite kind. I used to record basement jams...

I realized I misread your post, relative to Chris, but I'll need to find some recordings of you and Kofi.
