The only reason I know what a Les Pauls is is because I saw it on an episode of Pawn Stars.
I never got into the music thing. In forth grade I quit playing the violin half way through the year. My music teacher Mr. Andrew's was a complete d*ck to me after that. About 10 years ago I saw him in a bar and almost punched him in the face, but he already looked like hell . During middle school I was "required" to either play an instrument (band or orchestra) or be in choir, but I refused to do both. For 4 years they didn't know what to do with me so they gave me a free period when all my other peers had choir or band practice (unitl 2 of my buddies joined me). It just wasn't my thing as a kid.
But I have to imagine that there are SOS members more well rounded then myself...Last edited by Big Time; 06-16-2010 at 12:23 PM.

Well we will have to start a SOS "Get Yourself Some FREAKIN Culture" winter camp, so this group can get a bit more rounded. What an embarrassment!! Stecz can you get that together please??

We had an old thread about this, Fund Razor is an accomplished drummer, Buoy plays guitar, I had a BASS for about a year but I was told I played like my fingers were taped together. Stecz has a lovely falsetto voice.......We should start a band.

Stecz doing Falsetto versions of tunes for a whole set at some drinking hole... who wouldn't want to see that??LOL
Fund Razor... that would be a horrible thing. Maybe we should limit things to musical instruments under 10grand only.
So those of you who have been debating about sharing the image of the family stradivarius, please refrain as we don't want any uninvited guests showing up while you are in Monte Carlo. :-)
Slandrew the 68 Ludwig set sounds cool...can't wait to see it.

In my neighborhood. They'll steal the "Aria."
The camp may still be needed.
Let's say under $500. I have a set of Mackie monitors.
I have a set of Sonors and my kid has a set of 1960's Sonors. She wanted a car. I wanted 1960s Sonors. She got the drums instead.
But she doesn't travel, so it's cool.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

I have a 40+ year old SEVEN stringged guitar, with an electric pick up.
Yup.. 7 string. Can't even find anyone to tune it. Elton John offerd to buy it from me once, I declined. Still got it. Wonder how much it worth.? I will post pic later.Life is: what happens... when you plan something else.

tells you how to tune a 7 string.

Seven Strings?? Is the seventh string set up right next to the low E? Like a twelve string... For an octave type set up. Taylor guitars is offering an 8 string like that these days. I never played one but I guess it would allow some full sounding strumming, and still give you the ability for running leads on the higher strings.
anyway.... Can't wait to see it. Sounds cool.

Thanks... interesting. So the high E is tuned to B as well. I wonder what this does to Chord shapes. (shapes that would occur in standard tuning) You could of course tune it to an open tuning and avoid any difficulty there.
VERY COOL
What make is that 7 string PARADOX??

I was mostly into keyboards - think ELP, Genesis, Yes and Rush. Don't play too much these days, but my son is an excellent guitarist (Electric, Accoustic and Bass) / vocalist and plays at some of the local watering holes in Maryland. Even played after a CBPBA membership meeting.
Here are some pics of my tools (Hammond C3 w/ 2 leslies, Vox Continental w/ 1 leslie, Roland digital piano, roland synth, roland drum pad and of course you can't play rush with out a set of Moog bass pedals).
