Ok I have questions about double stops. First, why are they called double stops that makes literally no sense at all to me? More importantly, is there a specific preferred method to follow for using double stops or is it an anything that works kind of deal? For example, without really knowing the theory behind what I'm doing, I typically rely on the top two strings (the high E and B) as my easy anchor for double stops and always play them together on the same fret following the pentatonic chord shapes with the A-shape as my easy fretboard navigation point. I know the pentatonics and full scale shapes well enough to be able to move up and down the neck in the key I'm playing but my crutch wrt double stops is always playing the E/B strings together on the same fret. I'll also try to use that shape to focus on just the middle two strings as well-playing them together at the same fret-- but am not really comfortable enough with string skipping and finger picking to play, say, the only high E and D string together. Or the D and low E etc. I recently watched a short video on this and the instruction recommended playing two notes at time to harmonize the full scale where you're playing the root and third at the same time and moving up the neck accordingly to imply the next chord in the key. So if you're playing in D and you're starting at the first position you'd start with a D on the B-string at the third fret and an F# on the E-string second fret, playing them together, then move up and play an E on the B-string and a G on the E-string (flat third) and then from there play F# on the B-string and A on the E-string, etc so that you're implying a chord progression going from D >E minor >F# minor >G >A >B minor> C#>D. This was definitely an eye-opener for me because I didn't know about using double stops this way. So is this the way to use double stops and have I been doing it all wrong? How do you all use them? And how the heck do you make those stretches on the low-E and A strings to play just the root and third???

2019 we played on Sat in the wc round and played the Chiefs the following Sunday in KC. It's not a certainty we play on Saturday. If anything I think it's more likely that Baltimore, regardless of opponent, draws the Saturday AFC divisional game.

Wow this thing fuckin rules. I feel like an actual kinda sorta guitartist now, and I understand the irrelevance of a headphone jack for this tube baby. My wife is happy for me but she hates it lol. She knows all i want to do is strum my tele into her.

Anyone here own a Collings? I wish I'd bought one of those back in the late 80s. https://reverb.com/item/84158685-collings-om2h-baaa-2004-brazilian-rosewood-adirondack-laquer?bk=

Posing for Cars is one of my favorite songs of the last few years. Michelle Zauner is an amazing talent.

Need advice/suggestions from you experts..... I have two acoustic guitars that I need to either sell as is, repair, or trade if possible. I have a Seagull S6 Cedar that's probably 25 years old and was my first guitar, which for a long time was basically a piece of furniture I'd play open chords on until I decided to actually learn barre chords and a few simple melodies etc. For that reason it has some sentimental appeal and the wear and tear of an old ass acoustic guitar. A couple of years ago I noticed the string action was crazy high and couldn't figure out why until I looked closer and saw a crack/separation where the heel meets the neck of the guitar. I loosened all the stings to take enough pressure off so it wouldn't pull away further and have it stored in a case in my closet. Is this a relatively simple fix a competent luthier can repair that won't cost more than the value of the guitar? Is this just something that can be clamped and glued or is the repair more involved than that? My main acoustic that I've been playing for the last couple of years is a PRS Angelus AE 50 that I really enjoy playing but about two months ago I stupidly set it down in a chair next to me when distracted by a phone call or something and she slid out of said chair and crashed hard on her side on the floor and cracked the shit out of the finish and splintered the wood a bit. I was very upset about it because it damaged it significantly, even though it still plays ok but slips out of tune more than it did before. The damaged area is right where my elbow rests when playing and I have to be careful not to damage it further. Well, my wife surprised me for Christmas with a replacement PRS, the same guitar (bought from GC). So now I have one damaged one and brand new one. My question for you guys is what should I do about this one? Do I sell it as is or trade in somewhere or is this a fixable repair that won't break the bank? Do I fix it and use the return money at GC on, say, a Jazzmaster/Strat/Jaguar to go with my Squier Classic Vibe Tele? Can anyone recommend reputable acoustic luthiers to contact for repair estimates?

Steely Dan is the fuckin shit and I've always loved them. Don't care for the yacht rock label they got pinned with. On a related note, for anyone who loves the vibe of Steely Dan you must do yourself a favor and listen to Destroyer's 2011 masterpiece Kaputt. That's one of my favorite albums of the 21st Century. I will always cherish it.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival (supposedly this Tuesday) of the Supro Delta King 12 15 W amp I bought like new/used online for $500. I've been contemplating an amp upgrade for the last year and a half as the only amp I own and have ever used is a cheap Marshall MG30DFX combo amp I bought years ago from a neighbor for about $150. I can't wait to hear the difference between playing with a shitty combo amp (which is fine I guess for what it is) and a decent intro-level tube amp. My only concern is the lack of a headphone jack. Any suggestions thereof?

textbook tackling by Taaffe. He kept his head up and wrapped up with his arms, did not crouch and launch forward or do anything of obvious intent to attack a defenseless receiver.
-
Maybe so, but it was anything but as certain targeting as all the blowhards online are making it out to be. It was close by a fair reading of the rule but I think it's total bullshit how they're all mischaracterizing the play as the "most obvious targeting play ever omg if that's not targeting what is?!!"
-
I've had this ongoing argument with my Okie State buddy via text and that's pretty much spot on. Granted, I don't watch as much college football as he does but I did take the time to download the NCAA rulebook and copy paste the actual rule and it's clear that none of the assholes on ESPN have bothered to do the same. The only aspect of the play that could maybe qualify as targeting is the facemask-to-facemask contact of a defenseless receiver BUT when you read Note 1 below the targeting rule it's clear that Taaffe did not commit a penalty. Namely, he was NOT "attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball."
-
Fuck all these ding dong dipshits on TV and twitter perpetuating bad interpretations of the targeting rule. I don't think any of them have actually read it but they're all just saying stupid shit like "if that's not targeting I don't know what is" without actually contextualizing said comments through the wording of the rules. No launch, no crown of the helmet, no lowering of the head to use his helmet as a weapon. Taaffe did nothing wrong, he just made a hard clean hit and the review was the correct call.

I think I saw it called in an NFL game a week or two ago, which that play immediately reminded me of last night. But importantly it's not just the non-call that's the issue, it's the complete ignorance on the part of the paid professionals who get to talk about these things. I mean, anyone with two eyeballs could see WHY Skattebo scored on that play but it's up to these ding dongs to inform their audience that it's a penalty and ASU got away with a big one on that play. For example, if there's a broken play behind the LOS and the QB is about to get sacked but his offensive lineman commits an obvious holding that isn't called only for the QB to then fire a TD pass into the end zone, do you think they show that without at least talking about the context of the play? It's just nuts to me how that TD gets shown over and over without any mention of the clear penalty on the play. YOU. CANNOT. DO. THAT.
-
there's an obvious difference though as defined in the rules. you can push your teammate forward from behind but you can't pull him forward. Skattebo was down and would not have scored if not for that blatant cheating.
-
this was insane and it still boggles my mind that sportscasters won't even mention the obvious illegality of this play even in doing the game highlights. not one time have I heard anyone say that was a penalty that should have been called but instead they're all lauding the ASU lineman for helping his teammate score. IT'S BLATANTLY ILLEGAL.
-
not sure if we're talking about the same thing but that fucking Skattebo TD in OT was fucking bullshit and fuck the tv booth guys for ignoring the obvious offensive penalty of helping the runner by pulling him forward. total horseshit.

yes. don't read anything into the timing. all the people involved from the players, agents, and team front office personnel are dealing with holiday bullshit and are effectively on break until the new year.
-
Why? I don't think you'd get more for him at the trading deadline since he'd be a half-season rental at that point and I much prefer going into the 2025 season without all the drama around Tucker's contract situation. I am at peace with this deal and optimistic--we could not afford another Springer/Correa situation with the player walking without any assets returned to our system. 100% agree

Santander to the Astros is a pipe dream. He's going to the Yankees of course.

True true. One great tip I learned recently is no matter what you're playing or what key you're playing in, you are never more than one fret away from the right note. So now when I make a mistake and hit a note that just doesn't fit, I try not to overcorrect and panic thinking I'm way off-shape but simply move one fret up or down and will find a note that fits.

Guitar Gate. Heavy emphasis at the beginning on learned the CAGED system with a good mix of technique, tricks, and theory interspersed. I highly recommend Michael Palmisano's course, he's pretty good. Another online instructor who I really like for his musical tastes and youtube shorts is Eric Haugen. I've looked into buying one of his courses but haven't tried it yet because I'm not sure which one I want since I have a full lifetime membership at GuitarGate and have all the bases covered. There's A LOT of content I haven't yet explored.

I am pretty comfortable with all the pentatonic shapes, minor and major, to the point where as long as I know what key a song/progression is in, I can solo up and down the neck hitting all the roots, 3s, 5s, and 7s. Basically I can sound like I sorta play some guitar. However, I want to take it to the next level but I'm really struggling with playing over the chord changes. No matter how slow the bpm, I stumble and choke when it comes to hearing those chord movements and hitting the corresponding chord tones to really sell the changes. If I am not thinking about it, I don't have a problem playing the notes of the major or minor scale and making them sound musical but that's not as advanced as I would like to be. I want to be able to transition my solos from, say, the 1 chord in a 1-6-2-5 progression to then target the root/3rd/5th of that 6 chord and then likewise target the 1/3/5s of the 2 chord etc but I am always fumbling my way from one chord to the next and getting lost, so that I just revert back to playing what's comfortable in the major scale of the key I'm playing. Can anyone give me some tips you may have learned to make it easier to see these changes and not just play the pentatonics but to hit those notes that underline the chord movement?

goddamn you're a real piece of shit. i hope bad things happen to you just for that comment. fuck off forever.
