So me and one of my guitar instructors at my shop were sitting around bullshitting about dumb college music poo poo and she dropped this on me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO9FVxJ4FE8 this is what they're teaching in college is guess these days.

I'll admit, I like the original of that tune, but man, it's not really a full instrumentation workout.

Also, singing it like Michael McDonald kinda ruins the effect.

one semester i had a roommate that was majoring in production and stuff like that video is extremely accurate

like, i am not very good at guitar. im just a hobbyist with very little real musical knowledge or slick ability but i did go to a school with a very big music college. people that go to school for music or production are trained jack of all trades with a very clinical knowledge of music. it makes a lot of sense theres a student band formed around something as arithmetic as midi music

Woah.

I had a great evening mixing bands at the local club, the previous soundman got fired and apparently hosed with some poo poo before leaving. Mysteriosly missing and misplugged channels, one of the speakers had its eq hosed with and all around weird poo poo. Not to mention being hungover.

Hey guys feel sorry for me, I'm poor and broke and have to play guitar for my medical care except for this weekend when I'll be vacationing on my multi-million dollar ocean getaway yacht.

The dude bought a boat, probably flush off that Pulp Fiction soundtrack cash, not expecting to get rectal cancer. Lots of people who were middle-age in the 90s wound up house rich.

Ah hell, she wins hands-down just for the SG and the Bama tat. But no, seriously, this one's not just a gimmick, she's good.
Here's a full concert from 3 years ago, she's changed her hairstyle since then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgLYcJTwW-I

blues is the one form of music where you can get a pass solely for being heavyset

still she suffers from white-person-playing-the-blues-syndrome: she feels like she's gotta play a ton of notes really quickly

Played a couple of the limited edition $1000 gibsons today. They're flat top and a bit bright sounding. The necks play smooth and they'd be amazing complimented with a bassy Plexi tone. I don't know what the pickups are but they're ballsy. The Guitar Center sales guy explained that Gibsons are classic guitars and you'll never see extreme designs from companies like Gibson and Fender. I asked him what about the SG-V and he didn't even know what I was talking about.

i guess robot tuners are "classic" guitar features now.

and didnt gibson have a bass with a pickup you could move up and down the body? i mean dont get me wrong thats actually a pretty sweet idea but still.
