Strangely I feel better about my own original material now so I guess that's the upside but I'll take the overnighter in Guantanamo instead of hearing that again if that's an option here.

Sums up my feelings on modern art pretty well.

Neither is me being at your beck and call posting clips. *shrugs

Beck and call? Exaggerate much? That's probably the second time I've asked you. You claim to be this great player, gigging every weekend (while posting here during friday and saturday gig hours, and got a grant to do a album, yet no clips. Not one.
You also claim you're a heavily invested orthodox, despite posting here every Sunday morning all morning. :unsure:

Where did I claim to be a great player? I gigged friday night and last night. There are plenty of hacks who do that. Nice to see you keeping track of my schedule here tho. Church is 20 miles away and I got home at about 2 a.m saturday morning and after midnight this a.m so yeah, many sundays I don't make that trip. I gig most weekends so do the math.. Show me where I said I was a "heavily invested orthodox". Do you need clips of my baptism too? I don't owe you a thang.

You're so full of it. You told arch that you wouldn't post clips that were "head and shoulders above his" because he would just find an issue somewhere with it. Your constant interjection of your religion into many comments "in orthodoxy we believe, the church, blah blah blah"
You don't owe me or anyone a thing, I'm just calling you out on the obvious. You couldn't even translate the most simple sheet music :ROFLMAO:

I appreciate the call out, I figured it'd have happened much sooner but I thought it would be more of a god hater calling me out. Nice flex but I just don't feel any obligation to share on demand especially when you're gettin' all scorned earth policy on me over nothing. You say post clips and I say become orthodox and you get all triggered like the lefties you rage on in OT. You're just in a bad mood today or something. I have shared clips with people here, just not with you. Maybe one day, just not today. No roasted harshed mellows.

Hey! I don’t think the lefties deserve to be compared to her
 
Years (decades) ago, I genuinely believed I had the goods to play in a signed, touring, recording act. I definitely had ‘the look’ and I had pretty quick and pretty clean chops for the time. Had good gear. Played in a couple of bands that were on label radar. When I listen back to my my playing back in those days and compare that to someone like Doug Rappoport / Eric Steckel / Al Estrada I just have to have a good natured laugh at my younger self. All mechanics - no style, no soul, nothing to say. I still absolutely love gear. I love old tube amps. I love building my own guitars from disregarded spare bodies an necks discovered online. I still love the feel of a guitar across my lap in the evenings and I still get a big grin when I feel my picking hand FINALLY start to lock in with my fretting hand. I often wonder if some of the feel and style would have developed had I latched onto the gig that led to the gig that allowed me to play full time. I’ll never know.

I do have a buddy only 2 years younger than I am who never quit and met a guy who knew a guy who introduced him to a guy that got him a gig with a major touring country / rock act. He has been to more countries than I can count and damn near every state. He has played on Good Morning America, the TODAY show and the County Music Awards. He spent weeks at a major LV casino in residency with this act. I cannot imagine how cool that life must be.

He readily admits that the secret to his success was being above average at multiple different styles - and focusing more time on chords, chord voicings, and rhythm playing than 3-note per string scale sequences. Be no doubt, he can shred if and when necessary. But his musicianship and versatility made him a very desirable commodity when opportunity knocked.

For every 1 full time paid position in the music industry, there are arguably a dozen equally qualified equally talented musicians in the green room at the audition. And 1,200 equally qualified, equally talented musicians at home working regular jobs to make ends meet who never were in a position to get the call in the first place.

Your tactics are weak. "Triggered""Scorned earth policy" "On demand" "I've shared with others in secret" "You're just in a bad mood today"
AKA: You've got nothing, because none of those things are accurate. You def are predictable with your go to sexist crap (not me, she's just being a woman rants), though.
:rolleyes: Anyways, back to our regular scheduled program.

I don't want to denigrate others anymore, I want to start saying nice uplifting stuff to people from now on best i can, especially at rig talk cause everyone here is pretty dang cool and easy to love so I don't have an excuse.

That’s what I like about the Hungarian shooter memes. It’s rare to find one about people being good at things

You were sexist thinking a woman can boss around a man about posting clips. I'm orthodox so getting told don't happen in my happy home.

Boss around? Dude, you really go all out when you do. Your "wife" ain't happy.

You really thought you could guilt me into clips, lol

I hope you have a nice sunday.

Guilt? I simply jokingly requested, just like my first response to the OP. You're taking an obvious to everyone but you joke from someone that full well knows you aren't going to post anything and trying to turn it into something it's not. A lot like Dan. Don't be like Dan. Well, except in that he posts clips. People on guitar forums should be more like him in that regard. If he were to say, you should try this with your tone or I've had success recording with this method, I would be more inclined to listen, because he's a guitar player.

Anyways, same to you. Have a good Sunday. Sorry about the wife quip, that was being a bitch.
