Well, I hope you do find your woman, but it may be hard to find one that doesn't

mind your playing at 4am.

 

There's got to be a blues song in there somewhere...

My wife (of 33 years) was a friend of John Lee Hooker, and Van Morrison.

She thought being married to a musician would be fun.

I was the cure for her!

She once was my biggest fan, but she's caught my act now.

I joke with her now and say she picked me out from across the room saying, "Now THERE'S a project!" She doesn't laugh quite so heartily at that anymore.

It's funny how that works..My last girlfriend was musician..(Percussion) I thought I had it made..NOT!! But, I still hope, and play my 140..(at 4am)

Same for me! THAT doesn't take long, does it, backline?!

[peterbright]

You just have to pluck the right strings. Good luck.

Seriously, one of my favorite times to play is early in the morning! I usually start out with a nice clean tone and see where it takes me. I usually get up a 4:30 during the work week and I've been doing that for so long that I usually do the same on weekends. It's my favorite time of the day.

a blues in E...

You guys that get up at 4 or 5 in the morning, what time do you go to bed? I only need 5-6 hrs sleep lately, but can't seem to fall asleep much before midnight or so.

[backline]

I got up up for work so early for so many years, I now think "sleeping in" is getting up at 7AM on weekends. I used to go to bed at 9 or 10. Now, I go to bed maybe 12:30 - 1AM, and am up by 6:30 generally.

My eyes just don't stay closed past 7AM even with a big back-logged sleep deficit.

Ah, a romance story between a man and his wood! Wait, that didn't come out quite right...

As long as she doesn't beg for m6th chords.... those can be a real stretch.

Really?

The one I usually use is easy!

 

'Course with my technique, it wouldn't hurt my playing were my hands webbed.

Speaking of firing up 140's.....

 

 

I have this psychobilly project (rockabilly on steroids for those not in the know) and I have previously used my Japanese made 83 Ibanez for the punkish guitars and the Gretsches for the clean lead tracks.

 

Well, I tried the 140 on for size... WOW! JUST WOW! You could hear EVERY chord. As fast as I was strumming and with as much gain as I was using.. you could hear EVERY one! When I put the Ergo electric upright in there... I was just in hog heaven. No joke. I loved the jazzy tone of the 140, now i too love the gain tone! Just.. SICK SICK SICK!

[Thundersteel]

You just have to pluck the right strings.

 

Would those be the "G" strings?

"pl"uck?

Yeah..They are unbelievable..even with the humble Schaller pickups..Very versatile..the only thing that you probably would not be able to play on a 140 might be hardcore country..Still probably need a Tele for that..But with the right amp, Who knows?

Yeah. I know a few that go the Tele route... I actually am more of a fan of the old Gretsch tone for country. Just me I suppose.

Yep A Gretsch has that country "Somethin".. I just can't get past the way they look.. I always preferred the look of a Tele..But I guess I need to get over that..It's really about the tone..

I saw Martin Grady playing a black LP on some program yrs ago. Pretty good country tone from what I remember. Wasnt really into country back then though so maybe it wasnt. Maybe it was p90 equipped.

Yeah..Buddy..Gotta love that P-90 tone..My next Heritage, (Which could be years off in this economy) is definitely going to have P-90s on it..Thats the one thing I miss about my Gibbon LP BFG..The P-90 in the neck position..Oh Well..It gives me a goal for the future..

Have you considered installing a Phat Cat in the neck position?

[barrymclark]

Definitely with you there Smurph1! I do have my eyes set on a 137DC with the P90's! Who knows when I can afford that one though. We shall just have to see!
