Not sure I am winning the war against the grass. Not sure how much it matters though. And because July rocks....

Breakfast was pretty damn tasty. Eggs benedict on biscuits with ham and Yukon gold smashed potatoes.

The black color is supposed to make it harder to reverse engineer. Turns out it makes it easier with the appropriate lighting and photoshop. definitely the black color makes repairs harder, but its really the size of the circuit lands, the 1 oz copper and the diameter of the pads that makes it worse.

Drove to Danville pa to check out a potential location change. I liked it a lot but it made me like oak ridge even more.

My guitar teacher today asked me if I like metal. He was wondering why I wanted to learn 7-string. I gave him the above run-down of metal -- how they downtuned and downtuned until finally they said fuck it and introduced the baritone and the 7-string; of Taylor Roberts and that whole backbeat school of playing where they have the 6 strings of a regular guitar and one bass string, and he thumps a bass note and then strum strum strum and diddle diddle diddle (yes, I made onomatopoeic noises for all those parts); and of me (who just wants a wider range, and otherwise not that far from the backbeat school). He was going to go look up Taylor Roberts later, I hope he finds this video, because he does exactly everything I just described at 0:17:

Strong support.... you can say that but it's much more than that. In fact for a lot of people it's a religion here in Québec. And the inside story about PK is quite simple: he was adored by a majority of fans but the sentiment inside the team was quite the opposite. You can believe me the other players will have a hard time trying to hide their smiling faces for quite a while. PK was unable (even refused to change under the coaching pressure) to become a team player even with all his obvious talent. Amicalement

Nice playing. I think the point of my teacher is for the quality of the deep bass notes from a 7 or 8 strings guitar, more than for it not being useful. You cannot make it as large and long neck as required if you still want to keep the high notes tone good, so you have low notes, but not really good sounding. He plays mostly jazz so the metal point--which I find fitting a different category since they don't care that much for tone quality--isn't applying to him. To me it's hard enough playing a 6 string, so no way I'd learn with more strings

Happy Birthday G-Man! Have a nice bottle and raise a little hell.

I don't (play with a bassist). But yeah, that's exactly why I went 7-string -- because I come from a piano background, and I want as much of a range as I can handle. Eventually going to work my way up to 8 string (NS/Stick). But also, there's this whole school of guitar playing called gypsy jazz, and yes, that's exactly what the 7th string is for -- it's for the bass back beat. Here's my favourite 7-string jazz guitarist (I don't think this is gypsy jazz, though): And finally -- the metal players. So what happened was, they (starting with Black Sabbath) started down-tuning their guitars to sound heavier, and down-tuning some more, until they ran into issues with scale length, so finally just started playing baritones or playing 7 strings.

I changed the LT1021-5 for LT1021-10. Now, psu it´s fine. HV: 402,5 volt. / -401,5 volt Bias, 578 volt. LV: 15,4 volt/ -15,1 volt. Thanks

Those look awesome! I really dig the yellow one for some reason. The bridge in particular looks very well made, with no pointy sections. Never played fanned frets. I think i'm unqualified. In a cruel twist, I took delivery today of my mesa amp, but no connecting cable was sent. *cries* But sweetwater is giving me a free mogami gold one since I did so much business recently. Pretty awesome. I really dig the different colors. Originally chose this combo since the blue 1x12 cabinet was out of stock.
