Once again, it's time for the FNGT!If you don't know how this works,
click this link.. If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Upgoat.net go down.
NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @TheRealBuddha or myself)
If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.
By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

Yeah, I did a lot of work as a session musician. I needed the money. It paid fairly well, all things considered. It just wasn't consistent enough to be my only source of income.
I think I'd find a way to make music even if my hand was fucked. I always have, at any rate.
I was hit while on my motorcycle and superman-ed into the windshield. That broke a bunch of bones in my hands and one wrist. I was playing soon after and my physical therapist decided that it was a good workout so they gave the okay for me to play as much as I could play so long as it wasn't seriously painful. I had to cut some of the cast away but I was eventually just wearing braces which made it easier.
There's something about playing guitar... I just have to do it. I've done it pretty much every day for decades. If I don't play, it feels weird - almost like an addiction.
