Well, we had a frost this morning. We've had a few. That means winter is on the way. The foliage has lost its luster and many leaves have fallen to the ground. That's okay... We still haev the Friday Night Guitar Thread! Come join us! - Upgoat

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.

Yup. We had frost this morning too, and the forecast is looking pretty chilly going forward. Seems winter may be starting a little early this year... which I suspect means it might be a cold one.

I am optimistic. I love the snow and cold.

If I didn't, I'd not live where I live. LOL

Some mountain areas already have seen their first snow (here in the US). We probably won't see much snow, if any, until mid-November. I'm also at a higher elevation than many (in my area). I'm about 3400' ASL.

Well, I don't have anything new. I should have something new. We have a project that's nearly done. It was supposed to get finished but then I had a death in the family and had to travel across the country. Then, for reasons, I had to drive all the way back across the country. (That's not as big a trip as it seems to be, if you've never done it before. You can do it in a few days if you've got an iron butt and a good bladder.)

So, then, what to share? Here's something from the archives:

Classical Variations

It's kind of funny... People hear the quick rills and the like and think that those are the hard parts. Those are actually the easiest parts. It's more often the slow parts that are a challenge for classical guitar. You're doing things like very complicated chord patterns that stretch across as many as seven frets. Those are the hard parts. The runs and rills are relatively easy in comparision.

Sure, that's not always true - but it's true more often than not.

Anyhow, enjoy and...

Rock on, Goats! Rock on!
