It's Friday! You know that. I know that. We all know that! What we all should know is that it's now time for the FNGT - 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 upgo 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.

So it's time for another Friday Night Guitar Thread! Welcome to it and we'll go ahead and get you started...

Once upon a time, we were on Voat. We hosted the guitar thread on Voat for many years - until the end of Voat, the very last day.

That's when we moved to Poal. Their admin decided on a Shoah for us but this song (picked for a reason) was the very first song we shared on Poal as a new FNGT. That's right, the first guitar thread on Poal included this approrpriate song and quote:

"This track was one that has been in the works for quite a while. Then, Voat was closing - so we put a rush on it. Alas, we had enough tracks at the ready, so this doesn't get released until today. But, it'd have been rather fitting for the last FNGT on Voat.

Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (B L; J K; TB B, R, & P) "

I don't think it has been shared since, so you can enjoy it now if you didn't catch it then.

Rock on, Goats! Rock on!

This is fucking awesome. Take a bow! Wow

takes a bow

Thanks! I believe that one was ONLY shared once and I know exactly when it was shared.

(I save almost all of the comments I've made to open the guitar thread. They're all in a now-giant text document.)

Cool. I dont save anything like that. I am lucky if I can find the original tracks for most of my stuff

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 6 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:21:35 ago (+6/-0)

You know where all of your tracks are, more or less. You just have to remember the email addresses 'cause there's a limited number of minutes you can upload for free.

But, you've consistently used SoundCloud. All of your tracks would be there, in one account or another.

I have archives for mine, plus there are some that are uploaded. (Not all of 'em are uploaded.)

But, I started saving my intro text very early on.

The first one I saved was like 10 paragraphs long and was one of Biff's very first songs.

"I have been told to "Introduce us as the Eldest Hoodlum and TheBuddha Band." Don't blame me! I just follow directions and she's pretty proud of this week's work.

Ladies and gentlmen, give it up for The Eldest Hoodlum and TheBuddha Band, with Tom Petty and The Heartbreaker's "Mary Jane's Last Dance!"

https://instaud.io/2Gkv

;-) Yeah, that's my girl!

That's my <s>student</s> understudy, in whom I am well pleased!"

That's the quote used at the bottom of the text.

I've saved pretty much every opening comment since. I've even saved some from when I didn't open the thread.

I cant get the link to play!

[ - ] Sleazy 5 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:50:03 ago (+5/-0)

Of course I want to hear it!

And yeah I can find a lot of my songs on soundcloud but it is difficult being that I have so many different ones. I just started the 20th account this week. That means there are 19 of them with 3 hours each of me and my friends making music. Thats a fairly prolific output. The FNGT site is so much better for finding particular songs though and I use it all the time.

That's a fuckton of email addresses.

I'm surprised they don't check IP addresses and cancel some of your accounts.

And, https://share.fngt.gq is all automated. I don't do anything to it. I upload and it automatically adds the song to the category I chose. If I choose to create a folder, it adds that as well. It's pretty fucking handy but it's not maintained. It was the only script of the sort that I could find.

I didn't want to write it all myself. I don't have time (or skill) enough for that. I have modified it quite a bit, which I do have the skills for (as long as they're basic edits).

[ - ] Sleazy 5 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:59:25 ago (+5/-0)

I have never had any problem playing your songs from your site.
Continue thread

Nope. That site shut down years ago. It was awesome. It was the first site I used to share my tracks.

I tried a few others after they shut down. They kept nailing me for copyright strikes. So, now I just host my own shit and call it good. I use a script that keeps the HTML updated automatically. I upload a track and it appears in the listings. So, it's good enough and doesn't require any effort on my part.

But, no... No, that link will no longer work.

Damn that was good. Nice to hear some Led Zeppelin. Those guys were pretty good. I go back and forth into who's the best band. Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones. British dudes. Zeppelin blows them away musically but I love the melodies the Beatles make.

Saw a movie today called Ford vs. Ferrari with Chritian Bale and Matt Damon. All about racing and making fast cars to beat Enzo Ferrari at the 24 hour Le Mans. Fast as fuck man. 7000 rpms. Phew!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 07:36:33 ago (+2/-0)

That's a good movie - and one of the few movies I've seen.

And, it's hard to pick a 'best band'. There's a 'best band at the moment' for me. It'll vary, depending on what I'm in the mood to listen to.

Hello everyone. Last night I was talking to my friend Chris on the phone, he hasn't been over here to jam with me in a month or so, and we got to talking about Verle. Apparently Verle been robbed again by some woman he invited into his home hoping to get lucky with her. Chris said I should write a song called Buying Hookers with the Disability Check. Since there was an acoustic guitar in my hands and beers in my belly, it came right out.

Then my girlfriend said we need to make one called Got Ripped Off By A Prostitute. So we did LoL

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 6 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:17:35 ago (+6/-0)

Hmm... I think I prefer the 2nd one.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:28:49 ago (+4/-0)

Verle just texted me that he had some lady just stop by and visit him and she showed him her titties and he then texts "What's funny about that is after she showed me her titties I said to her I'm a punani connoisseur, and that's when she said can I come back later"

[ - ] Sleazy 6 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 20:51:35 ago (+6/-0)*

After my woman and I were done singing about Verle we found a new subject to sing about, Shrooms!

LOL Listening now.

This confuses me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqy_7lr6wuE

It took my brain a few minutes to think about it and then I understood it. But, it took my brain a few minutes.

[ - ] Sleazy 5 points 1 monthMar 22, 2024 21:13:26 ago (+5/-0)

That is interesting
