Two other places I have found helpful when you want the true gear nerd experience: Acoustic Guitar Forums and a Facebook page call Acoustic Guitar Pedalboards. We are a savvy bunch here indeed, but we tend to be generalists. These guys are a whole new level. Guaranteed there are discussions both places that will beat the iPad page turning controller issue to death, but also give you actual helpful insight and ideas.
Thanks Tbone. News I can use.

Because their media does not tell them the truth. Only now, with the costs of food etc. well higher than just a few years ago are some of the dim bulbs starting to glow.
It's this right here. They live in a world that feeds them misinformation 24/7. I'm sure we've all seen it with friends and or family who - while seemingly normal in real life - will post or quote something that is objectively false on its face. Something that if anyone else in the world said it besides tfg, or posted it besides a right leaning source, they'd say, "Of course this is crazy!" But because it comes from tfg, or some source from his orbit, they will believe it. It's a weird cult full of people who go into a weird trancelike inability to discern reality from fiction when it comes to tfg. I can't wait for him to pass from the scene, and the bubble to pop.

Well, Mr. Lipman, the excuse is Trump is a fraudster. You were fooled by two conmen.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I'll get fooled again.

I can tell you that all the string players I know bring an ipad and a foot switch to their studio gigs. Don't know which brand/model, but obviously they can't make an audible "click" during a session.
Today, music stands are for ipads. The only time I've seen sheet music in the last few years is if the producer/writer brings it and hands it out.
What you're looking for definitely exists.
Oh I've seen many variations on the theme. They are definitely out there. I've just come to this august, refined and sophisticated group of pedal addicts for my fix because someone has usually had a taste of the sweet gear prior to me. It appears I may be plowing new ground amongst this particular group of gear junkies. Which is really saying a lot.

No. I tried a couple of different ways of turning pages, auto scrolling, etc. Didn’t like any of it.
Ended up sort of inventing a way that I put every song we do on a one page PDF. And just used a pdf reader. We have one we call the alpha master that has all songs on it alphabetically to make them easy to find (close to 300 now) and then we’ll have the set list for that show, both open on the reader.
Takes me about an hour to “chart” a song this way. It’s a fair amount of work. But I like doing it, I get the arrangement exactly how I want it which helps keep it tight, and I learn the song this way. I break all the lyrics down into musical phrases (UG is all over the place on this sometimes) so it’s really easy to follow.
That probably didn’t help you at all.
Edit: Here’s an example.
That's pretty cool. Being as I'm playing bass, I'm usually looking up tabs, not chord charts. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I mean, realistically, the best thing would be to keep poking at the iPad with my finger. But that is not a gateway to more gear, so I'm dismissing that out of hand.

I have an Epiphone 339 with the P90's. Killer guitar.
Can we all just agree that if you mention your guitar, even if we've seen it before, you need to post an updated pic for reasons?

One can only surmise that she is next in line for a lifetime achievement Oscar.
Had someone said Kennedy Center Honors yet? -

Apparently Trump is already vetting candidates to replace her. She's toast.
Just remember, it always gets worse with tfg.
Though I'm not sure why he'd want to replace her? She's doing exactly what Stephen Miller wants - terrorizing the populous - most especially people of color and those aligned against the admin.

I'm embarrassed I can't speak Spanish given the amount of classes I took in HS and college.
You can't truly learn a language until you go somewhere that you are forced to speak it. I learned this after spending my time getting a second major in Spanish at UT, which had like the second best Spanish department in the country while I was there. I took three years, could read and write all you wanted. Couldn't speak for shit until I lived in Argentina and Spain. Even practicing with Mexican friends, we'd always fall back on English.

Me? I took four years of Latin. All A's! But you're right about learning it. I got to fifth semester where there are only serious students and discovered just how much I'd failed to learn. My handle is an unintentional monument to that shame. Same story with Classical Greek. My powerful short term memory carried me at the beginning without me even knowing it.
I am teaching myself Spanish now. I don't remember the Latin palabras, but knowing many forms and constructions has helped. Me encanta estudiar la idioma espanol y apprenderla.
*EL idioma
Because words that derive from Greek and end in "ma" are masculine.
El programa, el idioma, etc.

My only issue is she’d be potentially running against Cornyn or Paxton. Having her on a debate stage with Cruz would be epic.
My guess is she could dress any of them down pretty well. Paxton has the most baggage. Unfortunately, they're plusses to most of the morons in our state.

Do any of you guys use page turning pedals for use with your apps? I tend to use Ultimate Guitar a lot in a gig context. But I feel like I'm constantly reaching down to futz around with it when I wish I had a pedal to press "go".
I've done a little research but would welcome any and all suggestions from you guys.

I miss guitar magazines. Was always my go to for a plane flight. Whatever guitar magazines they had at the airport bookstore.
They're still there on the shelves, though I rarely buy them.
I have a ton of them in my music room closet. I almost never go to them for info anymore. I use Ultimate Guitar for tabs these days. Yet there are probably half a dozen I'll never ever get rid of, like the one that has "Sultans of Swing" AND "I Can't Quit You Babe (live)" in it. That was like 16 year old Chad's biggest guitar mag score.
Man, brings back some memories. Like, I wish my mom hadn't found my stash and got rid of the 91/92 Playboy collection. Sigh.

More Les Paul sized than 335 as far as body dimensions. I’ve played a couple, never owned one.
This. It's essentially a shrunken 335. I've also played them on occasion and they seem like a great move for someone who finds 335s too big. I've seen lots of jazzers play them and get nice semi-hollow/hollowbody tones out of them.

Just in time for Christmas — the perfect gift for the guitar player who has everything but fretboard knowledge…
I remember seeing these advertised in guitar mags back in the late 80s/early 90s.

List is $1,799. While I was browsing, SW rep called and knocked off $150. The lowest price used I found was $1,200 plus $75 shipping. So I could have saved some $$ with some patience and haggling, but $40 per month is less than a family trip to Whataburger. I'll pay more than that and get it off the books quickly, but at 0%, I have a hard time turning down free money. Plus, I'll get a good setup and some candy out of the deal.
For comparison's sake, these were $1,200 new a few years ago. That's what I get for waiting.
Also, I had two to choose from. I went with 4 oz. heavier (8 lbs 14 oz) just to get the darker fret board. Priorities. My Les Paul Traditional weighs in at well over 10 lbs (doesn't feel that heavy when playing). So I ain't a scared.
This right here should be everyone's take away: Don't wait to buy that new guitar. Do it now.

Forgive me Surly, for I have sinned. It has been seven years since my last guitar-purchase confession. I coveted a guitar I have lusted after for many years. I succumbed to to 0% financing and will pay $40 per month for a relatively short period of time. In penance, I shall perform 20 rock-god stances and 15 guitar faces ever day. I will light candles and incense. I will howl at the moon. Amen.
That is beautiful. Rawk on!

Heard our good friend Alexander Vindman on NPR this morning. It's a short interview, and most people here would find it insightful:
