Got to spend a few hours of alone time with the Nova. I've been tweaking the setup a hair each session and think I have it dialed now. Absolute beast of a guitar.

The hipsters ruined it for all of us. Got tired of people asking where the nearest Local Brewery was in every town I've ever been to.

Jim ever hear the song by Jimi Hendrix called "Hey Baby... Land of the new rising sun? The beginning guitar riffs are one of my all-time faves. Can you play it? TY

Who's this Hendrix guy? Will check it out. BTW, used my Charvel for a session last night. OMG, it's like driving a Porsche. Reached out to the Reverb guy and canceled. He totally understood. Even used the whammy bar on the song. Did this Hendrix guy use a whammy bar? ha

Just gotta string it backwards and play it upside down, then light it on fire when no one is looking.

Also, I was a Guitar Center exchanging a pedal and ended up buying another guitar. It's the same as the black RGA42 seen above, but with a maple neck and it's blue.AND It's an RG42 instead of an RGA. Passive vs. Active pickups. It will be gifted to the boy for Xmas, but will just end up in the rack.

Dope. I should buy more guitars and pedals and amps and then not practice and complain about how sloppy I’ve gotten when I play for two minutes once every three months.

This is a good strategy.

were you "playing along with music" or just noodling here? (i don't know the terms)

is there a vid where you are isolated? (again don't know the term) -
don't need to hear what you are playing with.

Were I?

Does the boy shred?

Does the boy shred?

He's First Chair in Orchestra and started teaching himself guitar last year. He can hold his own pretty well at this point, I figure another year and he'll be above my level.
