It is Friday! That means it is time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread - but you knew that already. Come join us!

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 upgoat 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 again. My freind Chris came over last night and we were jamming and my little Marshall practice amp thing went crazy as we were jamming out, some wierd buzzing sound coming out, with no guitar signal. Like what the fuck. I have never had any issue with that amp. We tried different cords, different guitars, nothing made any difference, it just kept on buzzing, so fuck it lets play acoustic. My 4x12 amp is still working, i can play bass along with him strumming his acoustic.

So we played Lynyrd Skynyrds All I can Do Is Write A Song About It

I haven't heard that song in a million years, or so it feels like.

A buzz makes me wonder if you lost a ground at some point. Today's amps are way more complicated than they used to be.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 20:24:02 ago (+4/-0)

I was thinking it is probably a bad connection in there somewhere or a cracked solder joint, cause now it comes on and plays normally until it warms up the the buzz returns. So it might be something about when it heats up causing it

That does sound likely. Good luck trying to figure that one out!

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 21:38:32 ago (+3/-0)

I have tasked my son to search for the problem and he is keen on solving difficult problems. I am hoping its just a loose wire, it's like 24 screws just to be able to see inside and see if there is a wire loose.

[ - ] bosunmoon 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 13:49:33 ago (+1/-0)

That's my favorite Skynyrd tune. Great job.

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 15:32:05 ago (+1/-0)

thank you!

Pretty good stuff! Great way to adapt to the malfuntioning amp and get something recorded

I'm still working on setting up apps correctly after installing a new operating system. I believe I can get Cakewalk to operate with Lutris, since my other wine version is crapped out.
I got my gear and computer setup while ago, so at least that's ready. Since I needed all that in one room, I guess I'm scaling down the bedroom PC setup, by installing more of a terminal RDC in there. Now I have space to record more than one guitar player at a time.

Thanks. We're not going to let something like that stop us!

Nice to hear from you again, and its awesome to hear you're still jamming. Keep at it.

Hello and welcome to another Friday Night Guitar Thread! Like normal, we'll go ahead and get you started.

You almost had something new this week... Almost... Put it this way, I did my part of the work. Ol' Buddha was on top of things and recorded his parts. Nobody else has done their parts, as far as I know. So, there's nothing new - but this is a fun track:

Metallica - The Unforgiven (B 2; J B; TB 1 P)

Metallica is always fun.

Rock on, goats! Rock on!

[ - ] Sleazy 5 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 20:16:25 ago (+5/-0)

I have heard this before and am loving hearing it again. Tell Biff she fucking rocks!!!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 20:22:52 ago (+4/-0)

She shall be informed... (She's not in this area of the house right now.)

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 22:53:40 ago (+3/-0)

Here is a nice groove song we played I dont know but it felt good with a buzz and I liked the vibe

put the lime in the coconut

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 0 points 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 18:04:39 ago (+0/-0)

LOL Always a favorite song of mine.

Everyone likes a little Nirvana in their life.

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 21:39:22 ago (+3/-0)

How could you not? Great song craft and performance

[ - ] Sleazy 3 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 20:59:21 ago (+3/-0)

We played a beatles tune that you might recognize, Twist and Shout

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 21:33:45 ago (+3/-0)

Always a fun tune.

[ - ] Sleazy 4 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 21:39:54 ago (+4/-0)

Yeah, you get to scream at least twice when you play that one, even if you're not the singer

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 4 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 22:26:54 ago (+4/-0)

LOL I guess that's one way to look at it.

I think I'm going to take the missus upstairs. That sounds like a good idea.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 12 monthsJun 21, 2024 22:47:30 ago (+2/-0)

That sounds like a good idea. I do love taking the missus upst...wait what? I dont got a missus, though I did have that one new girlfriend I told you about, but I might have fucked that all up a couple days ago. I was sitting here drinking a beer when my most recent x showed up with some hot blonde chick and asked if she could talk to me, then she asked me if i wanted to do some drugs and then her friend and her and I went into my bedroom and all of a sudden they were naked and so was I and I think I was supposed to have a girlfriend who lives 45 miles away and who I only spent the night with once and I fucked, yes I did. But maybe I fucked up

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 18:06:44 ago (+1/-0)

So, she was neither gone for good nor good and gone?

Why am I not surprised?!?

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 20:16:02 ago (+1/-0)

LoL What can I say. I am a sucker LoL

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 20:19:25 ago (+1/-0)

LOL Yes, yes you are...

Also, we have someone in the thread who thinks I'm a bot or something and that I'm not the real TheBuddha.

That kind of amuses me. It shows you the reasoning skills of your average site visitor. They are not bright people. I have no fucking clue why I keep the guitar thread on these sorts of sites.

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 21:34:57 ago (+1/-0)

I thought that post thinking you were something other than you being you was amusing as well.

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 12 monthsJun 24, 2024 02:02:53 ago (+1/-0)

Man I fucked up. Or I think I might have. I was looking through shit on a local auction house webpage last Tuesday night all drunk and I came across a jag and I clicked bid. I became the highest bidder and am still the highest bidder. Lol I was just drunk and excited to see it. I thought I would have to confirm. But no. Since I am registered to bid thats all it took. I called the place friday when I still hadn't been outbid and they said that's too bad, basically. If I win, I'm obligated to pay them, and they have my card number.

So I looked at the previous bids, and there were 19 of them. Until I bid, now there's 20. My bid took it from 2450 to 2500. So I'm hoping that someone is going to come through and bid more by the end of the auction.

I hope so

Speaking of cars...

This week is an English car.
It has a W12 engine.
It has four doors.
I own a few of this manufacturer but only one of these.
The company turned 100 in 2019.

You're not the real Buddha. Thebuddha had a nugent-esque geriatric charm. You're a bot or something.

[ - ] dirtywhiteboy 0 points 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 15:51:10 ago (+0/-0)

didnt he also groom an under age child

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 0 points 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 18:05:36 ago (+0/-0)

LOL Take your meds.

beep boop

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 0 points 12 monthsJun 23, 2024 02:41:12 ago (+0/-0)

Okay, if you're the real Buddha, what came out of the front of the swan car, and for what kind of event specifically was the swan car for?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 11 monthsJun 24, 2024 16:25:24 ago (+2/-0)

Steam came out of the car. I don't think it was made for a specific event, just for some crazy Scottish dude. I think it has seen some parade use.

Hmm... It has a horn that's played with a keyboard, which is probably the 2nd best feature. The best feature is spitting steam on the peasants to get them out of your way.

I think it actually went up for auction not too long ago. I didn't bid on it, though it would make an awesome parade car.

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 0 points 11 monthsJun 24, 2024 21:08:11 ago (+1/-1)

If you were to have a parade, what kind of people would feature prominently in it?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 11 monthsJun 25, 2024 20:34:00 ago (+2/-0)

If they let me pick? Oh, man, it'd have so man midgets!

There are few things more awesome than midgets and parades!

(I'm really me. I've been polite enough to let you know but it's all good if you think I'm some sort of bot r whatnot.)

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 11 monthsJun 25, 2024 20:53:18 ago (+2/-0)

Also, I realize that you're positive that you're smart and observant.

Give others credit.

Do you REALLY think I could fake this? How would I take control of fngt.gq and all of that?

LOL It's pretty much impossible for me to be anything other than I say I am. On top of that, I've now done things (including hosting visitors) that simply couldn't be done by anyone other than who I am.

I don't really want to make fun of your intelligence, but think it through a little better.

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 2 points 11 monthsJun 26, 2024 01:42:00 ago (+2/-0)

Tldr. Okay its you. Hi uncle ted. Nobody else is that pedantic. Hope you're well!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 11 monthsJun 26, 2024 13:36:34 ago (+1/-0)

I am just fine, I think - thanks. All is well in your camp?

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 1 point 11 monthsJun 26, 2024 23:12:41 ago (+1/-0)

Yes very well, thanks. Its summer and my people are thriving.

Unable to register. What the hell is a "invitation key"?

Are you having trouble with the fngt website?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 1 point 12 monthsJun 22, 2024 18:04:06 ago (+1/-0)

It's a key we send to those invited to join the forum. The forum is not a free speech zone, for example.
