Invidiosulus Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Literally the day after I told Marvel I wasn’t planning on getting any more guitars for a while… I swear, these things just keep following me home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealMarkDeneen Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 What sort of songs do you all play on those fabulous guitars? I'd love to know about the music! This is a list from one of my play books showing the sort of stuff a decrepit geezer likes to play. Essentially, I've heard no new music made after 1980, and I am a total sucker for sappy love songs.

But, it wouldn't have any deep meaning to me if I heard it now, because it would be brand new to me carrying no memories. There would be no touchstones involved. Songs I love and play are songs that connect me to something or someone in my personal history. When I sing the old songs of my "time" it's very comforting in the way that your favorite old flannel shirt is comforting. Music is art. Art is life when you can see into it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the emotional ties from the memories. The music is almost like mile markers. My generation is a bridge from your time to the next, plus I had kids in the house. Sometimes I would run downstairs and burst into my son’s room and yell, “What the hell is that, it’s great!” Caught a video the other night on YouTube of Steve Winwood doing Can’t Find My Way Home. Just great stuff and that one never fails to get me a little chokey, because - reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealMarkDeneen Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Around the house when I was a wee lad in short pants........... -Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis -Ella Fitzgerald -Broadway show tunes -Big Band music -Jazz So, I still love that music too, which came before my own records at age 14 or so. I have a lot of that older music on tape. Sounds every bit as good to me as when I was 10 years old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The new little mutt now has good tuners at least. I also cleaned up the radius on the top of the lightning bolt wraparound bridge and took a little off the back corner which was all chewed up. I’ll get some correct slots filed in to set the string spacing once I can remember where I put my spare guitar strings when I cleaned up the other day… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in 1970, so my heyday for music was basically those years: new wave and post punk, a smattering of 80‘s metal, techno-industrial, shoegaze & dream pop, indie-rock, post-rock, instrumental and underground hip-hop- too many bands to mention… my tastes ran the gamut and still do. Even though those were my golden years, I’d posit there’s still great stuff being made now. Edited September 11, 2022 by gigantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I said I would touch back on the story in regards to my pearl pink B.C. Rich Platinum Warlock. So I at the time I thought I wanted to learn guitar, a buddy of mine says his dad has a guitar and some cabs ( cabs where line array 4x8 Kustom columns, which I eventually traded for some EV cabs). Picked up the guitar and cabs for $100.00. The guitar always had problems staying tuned, so it sat for 20 years. I later found out the neck was cracked and never had really been in the hands of real tech. Until i found out that the fellow I traded my Ludwig set with is the guitar tech at a local shop. I left it in his hands and after 4 weeks, just picked it up. It needs a little work for the floating tremolo to be set correctly, but this thing plays nicer than my Dean ML. Needless to say I am excited to play this beast. On a second note, does anyone have experience with VHT Redline amps? Demo'ed one at the shop I picked my guitar up at and thought it sounded very good, may consider one down the road.Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
