Do you know what day it is? I do! It's Friday! That means it's time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread. All listeners and players welcome. Come share the joy that is making music with your peers!

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.

I'm running a minute or two behind. That's okay. I have this!

Without further ado:
John Fogerty - The Old Man Down The Road (B #2 & B; TB P #1)

That's something I've not shared lately. It's just the missus and I tonight, as J is off performing. I may go join them next weekend. We'll see...

Sounds just like the Fogerty. I like the ripping high notes at the end

Thanks! Glad ya like it.

I have a guest tonight. Well, I guess you can call 'em a guest.

We're probably going to play some pool as they have a couple of friends with them. I'll take my laptop with me.

Well I'm just hanging out at home by myself here tonight so I will be here.

Sounds really great! Are you using one those hollow body guitars? They'd be cool to play, but I'm just sticking to my one electric because it suits my needs.Great work!

I don't think so. That was recorded a long time ago, so I'm not sure. I think it was just a Washburn Falcon. That's what would have been used in the original recording, so that's almost certainly what I'd have used.

I pretty much have a guitar library. I use the instruments the original artist used. If I can't, then I use something similar. The same (often) goes for my signal chain. I'll use the same effects, pedals, and amps that the original artist used. I have a stack of equipment that's embarrassingly thorough.

You're really stocked well for accurate reproduction of about anything you cover! That's the dream but it takes a good amount of space and $. You all get great sounding recordings and I bet it's a lot of fun getting it all set up to reproduce the songs.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 6 monthsNov 18, 2023 11:37:23 ago (+2/-0)

I have hundreds of guitars. They sit in cases or in wall-hanging racks like you see at a guitar store.

I'm an avid collector. I buy so many that I don't even bother mentioning it when I get a new guitar - unless it's something outstanding.

It takes quite a bit of space. Right now, three large rooms are full of guitars. Two of the rooms don't have racks, though one has metal shelving. I've shared pics in the past.

For example, this is me testing a few of the guitars that I had in storage:

I would say you have a few to pick from. LOL. I think I had 5 guitars, 2 basses, and an acoustic at one time. I would probably have as many as I could collect too.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 6 monthsNov 20, 2023 17:39:53 ago (+1/-0)

I regularly add to my collection. I don't know how many guitars I own. I counted them once and had about 250 but there were 100+ guitars in storage at the time. So, I have somewhere around 400. I'm not really sure.

I think I'll have someone count 'em at one time. I need to document them all at some point. I've made efforts to do that before, but not recently and not well.

That had good vibes!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 6 monthsNov 18, 2023 11:21:43 ago (+2/-0)

Glad ya liked it. It's a fun song to play.

[ - ] Sleazy 6 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 20:09:04 ago (+6/-0)

I did not get to play any music with my friends this week either, that's two weeks in a row. Chris is gone to the north woods to kill deer, he got one with a bow the other day and the gun season starts tomorrow, so time for another one.

I made up this here song in the free time I had this week, Raegae

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 5 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 20:31:33 ago (+5/-0)

We're limited to one, though we have giant whitetail deer.

Interesting track. The person with me didn't show much interest. I don't think they're much into music!

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 20:39:14 ago (+4/-0)

Anybody can get both a bow and a gun deer permit here

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 21:46:46 ago (+3/-0)

Here too, assuming you're old enough (and can use a firearm legally). Anyone can still get a license and tag.

If you're unable to use a firearm, there's bow season.

I am not here tonight. Well, I am but I am not.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 22:01:44 ago (+3/-0)

Hope you're kicking ass on the billiards

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 22:17:05 ago (+3/-0)

I'm making a few bucks. I don't give lessons for free.

We're playing 9 ball, but they're headed out soon.

At which point, I think I'll hit the hay.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 22:19:23 ago (+3/-0)

You have had a pretty productive day

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 23:16:45 ago (+3/-0)

I am also now pretty buzzed. I was already pretty buzzed but now I am more so.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 23:35:06 ago (+3/-0)

Nice! I'm jealous. I have no buzz at all!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 18, 2023 08:51:12 ago (+3/-0)

I'd try to help you out with that, but my PayPal is still fucked. I have no idea when it'll work again.

I don't trust any of the other payment apps. I'm unwilling to give them any of my information.

Interesting. Something about the music and smoking weed seems to blend well LOL

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 21:03:22 ago (+3/-0)

Thanks. I thought so myself. I was listening to the music and those words just came out of my mouth without thinking

[ - ] paul_neri 2 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 21:06:13 ago (+2/-0)

Ok but please don't invite @Anus_Expander .His guitar-playing sounds like a romantic meet-up between two alley cats!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 6 monthsNov 17, 2023 21:50:39 ago (+3/-0)

We're really not all that picky. Anyone with nuts enough to share is alright by us. They at least get credit for that.
