*sniffs the air* Yup. It smells like a Friday. That's right. It's time to jam out with your peers! If you want to join us, you're quite welcome 'cause it's time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread!

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. 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 Talk.lol go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @Sleazy 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.

Hello and welcome to another FNGT! Like normal, we'll go ahead and get you started.

We've covered this before, but now it's complete with synth/keys thanks to J.

Ozzy - Mr. Crowley (the usual suspects)

throws horns

Rock on, goats! Rock on!

The beginning sounds great. Sounds like Phantom of the Opera song. Music of the Night.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 0 points 6 monthsNov 11, 2023 12:30:29 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, the person playing the keys/synth is pretty busy. She nailed the tone, I think.

If you're unfamiliar with the song, it's a pretty solid piece of work. Glad ya liked it.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:06:45 ago (+3/-0)

Fucking excellent. Top fucking notch. Man. Spectcular!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:12:34 ago (+3/-0)

Thanks! We actually have some live stuff to weed through but it was easier to finish this project as it was mostly done. Big thanks to J for doing the synth/keys. She really made the song.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:22:12 ago (+4/-0)

The keys really do sound awesome!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:31:07 ago (+4/-0)

J's a great keys player. She finishes school this year.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:35:20 ago (+4/-0)

Damned right!

Good for her!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:38:52 ago (+3/-0)

Her contributions will be missed, as I'm sure she'll search for a teaching position somewhere and be done with her youth. That's a good thing for her and a good thing for society. She'll be a great teacher.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:42:58 ago (+3/-0)

She's planning on quitting the band?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:47:37 ago (+3/-0)

I suppose that depends on where she gets a job. She's not from Maine originally. So, I can't speculate. I have no idea what's going to happen.

We've enjoyed some years together and I'm sure we'll remain friends. She's got a whole big wide world out there in front of her.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:51:14 ago (+3/-0)

Does she want to move away?

I just tried playin Girl from Ipanema, but forgot some of the middle chords, now I'm depressed

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:33:35 ago (+3/-0)

I do love me some jazz. Maybe practice a while and it'll come to you.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 22:07:19 ago (+3/-0)

I got it. Bossa nova chords are a bitch.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 22:16:41 ago (+3/-0)

I did the lunch shift at a jazz club for a long time. I learned a great deal while doing so. When I started, I had my classical training but no real jazz experience.

The overall situation was shitty, but I did learn a great deal.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 2 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 22:06:43 ago (+2/-0)

I already relearned it. Next: Corcovado.

[ - ] NamelessOne 5 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:49:36 ago (+5/-0)

Smells like burning blueberry fields to me.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 5 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 21:02:20 ago (+5/-0)

Not until spring. There's hay scattered on the fields now, waiting for snow. (It's not a heavy layer of hay, but enough to dry out and burn off in the spring.)

The berries are in bed for the winter. Some will sprout new leads and grow more berries next year - as others die. Interestingly, each blueberry plant has its own distinctive DNA. But, a single 'plant' has multiple shoots above the surface. They're a pretty nifty plant.

Hey everyone, I havent seen my friend Chris in a couple weeks and I can't get a hold of Verle again for some reason but his caretaker woman messaged me asking me to tell him to stop begging for pussy. LoL

Anyways. I made up this riff or whatever you call it the other day and I recorded it so I wouldnt forget it.

Some idea

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:11:31 ago (+4/-0)

Open that with Audacity, highlight everything, and increase the tempo to 170.

[ - ] Sleazy 5 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:23:28 ago (+5/-0)

like this?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:32:27 ago (+4/-0)

It'd have to be smoother, but that's what I envisioned when I first heard it. You'd need to sweep pick for fluidity but it can sound pretty heavy.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:34:45 ago (+3/-0)

So you're saying play it faster!!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:37:57 ago (+3/-0)

That's what the jam makes me think of. It's a sweep picking riff that can be played quickly.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:12:45 ago (+4/-0)

did you do that?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 20:30:42 ago (+3/-0)

Yes. I did that.

[ - ] ChatGPT 3 points 6 monthsNov 10, 2023 23:36:24 ago (+3/-0)

Damn good backing riff. Carries the song.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 6 monthsNov 11, 2023 00:25:11 ago (+2/-0)

Thanks!

Great music this week! I didn't make any individual comments, so great work everyone!

The archives are done through September, but I seem to be having trouble logging into the fngt website to do some more at the moment. The site seems to load fine and work fine else wise. I'll keep trying while I'm at the PC today to see if the issue could be on my end.

I'm moving in about a month, so I should get caught up then if I do not do it sooner. Lucky for me I am moving here, so it will be pretty easy. I will just have to get this PC set-up in the bedroom and unpack my stuff.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 6 monthsNov 11, 2023 17:48:54 ago (+1/-0)

I'll take a peek at the site this weekend. It was acting funny the other day, so it's something for me to look into.

[ - ] popticalillusion 1 point 6 monthsNov 11, 2023 21:47:03 ago (+1/-0)

I did finally get signed in and completed 1 week, when I realized the date didn't match what I intended to archive. My browser had sorted the posts different than normal and almost got me. LOL I didn't have any luck at all with the Wayback Machine, so I assumed I was having some issues at that point.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 6 monthsNov 12, 2023 11:17:57 ago (+1/-0)

Ah, sweet! I'll take a look today, assuming I have time.

There are people coming to sweep the chimneys today and I'd forgotten that I'd said I'd join them and help on the other houses. So, they'll be here in about an hour and then I'll be gone for a while.
