Ok I’m not sure what thread it was but Gil Bang brought up the Mike Campbell book that recently came out.
Reading it now on my current sabbatical in Maui and it’s fucking fantastic. My advice is to drop whatever you’re doing and read this book stat. Preferably in Maui if you can. Just awesome.
Guy I work with put one on a while back that said I’m out from x to y. If your email is important, send it again after y. I need to circle back and reach out to connect and see if that worked.
I sort of throw this idea in the general category of dynamics. We try to check out as many acoustic players as we can. Of course, some can really play, but it’s interesting to me how many I see playing out that really just have no concept of dynamics at all. Some guy who apparently played in the Temptations at one point came up to us after a show and all he said was “man, you have a great right hand”. Pretty close to my favorite thing anyone has ever said to me.
Depends on what I’m playing, but yeah up by the neck can be glorious, especially on acoustic. I’m always surprised at how many guitarists I talk to that don’t know about getting different tones by picking at different locations. Ok, I don’t talk to that many about it, but when it does come up I’m surprised at how often I hear they didn’t know that. Was sort of always obvious to me.
Who cares how much it is. It’s a lot, whatever it is.
And I’m not talking about illegal shit. I’m just saying how would you use your fortune as the worlds richest man to get over on the worlds most powerful man. If you wanted to. Which you know he does.
So here’s an interesting question to ponder - if you had $400 billion, and you wanted to disarm, defeat, neuter, (whatever you want to call it) Trump, how would you go about it?
