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.

Guess what?!?
Chicken butt!!!
No, more seriously, we have finished a project. Not only is it a finished project, it's a project I said we'd do. I always do what I say I'll do, unless something very major stops me from doing so. Someone needs to die (or the likes) if I'm not going to do what I said I'd do. Hell, I still do it then!
This one didn't take all that long from start to finish. We did move it ahead of another project just to ensure it'd be done in a fairly timely manner. Though, at the end of the day, I think Sleazy was the only one who knew I said I'd do this one. That's okay... It still got done.
Van Halen - Jump (The Usual Suspects)
Needless to say, I got some help with this one. Fortunately, J has a couple of keyboards that will happily make synth noises and it took her like 3 minutes to learn her parts of the song.
The missus actually did the rhythm work and the bass parts.
I did the lead guitar (though the missus could have) and the drum parts. I've previously played both of those parts so this wasn't a great challenge from a technical standpoint.
That said, getting the tone right was a bit of a pain in the butt. I used both an EVH model Fender and an EVH model amp. That got us 'close enough for who it's meant for' and that's the sound you'll hear. I think it's close enough. I actually used less gain in a few areas, wanting to make it a little smoother sounding.
Think of it as my improvement on a masterpiece.
Or not...
It's up to you. You get to decide that.
Anyhow, like always...
Rock on, Goats! Rock on!

The Niners are getting healthier. McAffrey's back. So, I'm going to have a wee bit of hope for today, but they'll probably blow it - if they play like they have been.
They're just coming off the bye week. That might help them out a bit.
I have no bets on the game.
I did watch the game in Germany this morning. The Giants blew it. They came back and got to OT. Then they fumbled on the first fucking OT play. So, they lost by a FG.

I was sure Moody was gonna miss and send it into OT.
And, man, the Niners tried REALLY hard to lose the game. Those fucking penalties damned near lost them the game.
Holy balls...
I am glad they won! It's about fucking time. They now have a winning record. If they keep it up, they can nab a wildcard slot and have a slim chance.

Thanks for support. Tonight's a dudd but folks will check in over the weekend, or so they normally do. It's still worth it. We've been at this too long to give up now.

I did record Jump finally, as I said I would.
