You know damned well that it's time for the weekly guitar thread! Get on in here and play for us the merry tune of your people! We'll listen! (guitar)

submitted ago by TheBuddha

It's that time again, a time when we get together and share our work, talk about performing, talk about practice, ask questions, and see if we can push ourselves to new levels of enjoyment. The most important thing is that we enjoy ourselves.

Some of us play for fun. Some of us are professionals. Some of us play with our friends. Some of us are just learning. Some of us don't even really play at all. It doesn't matter, we want to hear you play as well as you can - or just play.

I don't care if you play a kazoo - I want to hear it and, if history is any guide, the rest of the folks who frequent this thread also want to hear it. So, no matter what you play, come share it with us. If we like the song, we'll sing along when we all get to the chorus!

Grab your guitar and your cell phone - and play us a song. Sing for us! Play a piano. Make electronic music. Play a kazoo, blow a trumpet, bang a xylophone! We don't mind - we want to hear all of it, not just guitar.

Hello everybody! This week has been way too busy and I have not got to play anything at all, I wanted to re-record this song, get the drums right and make it sound better, but I never even got through the drums, and thats where I like to start. So i decided to just share the old version of it that i did a year ago. I still dont have any lyrics for this one, but it still sounds cool to me without words. So without further adieu, here is fuck it

TheBuddha ago

Some Blackmore influence later.

crazy_eyes ago

This one has been in my head for a lot of years, so it very well could be. I finally got this recording of it done a year ago, but I know I could play it better

TheBuddha ago

Yeah, I'm quite positive I heard it before. I remember the Blackmore influence and the eerie part.

We do share a lot of music with each other!

Oh, and my Silent Night has an obscene number of listens! I posted it in v/Music for the holiday. It's like nearly 500. That's a record for my online sharing at Voat and only Voat.

It's not nearly the same as SoundCloud and is much, much lower trafficked and people can't comment and don't really search there. I'm pretty pleased that that many folks enjoyed it.

Me and Chris playing We wish You A Merry Christmas got 700 plays over the weekend, from me spamming it all over voat.

TheBuddha ago

Nice! That's impressive! I didn't feel like spamming it - and didn't have much time. I was pretty busy, too busy actually.

I re-injured my leg by being on it more than I should have. It's going to be fine, but it's like a week without being able to use it and I'm not allowed to do PT with weights. I'm to do as little weight bearing as is reasonable and to remain off it for a few days. I've got a consult on Monday.

You are going to need more patience with walking

TheBuddha ago

They said I could walk as tolerated. I could tolerate the pain - then. I still can, but now it's REALLY sore and it feels funny, like it wiggles. It turns out, it's just bone bruising - but bad enough that they can see the bruising in an x-ray.

Just going to have to stay on your ass for a while more

I have asked, commanded, directed, chided, pleaded, and threatened him for weeks now to take it easy. Does he listen? No, nope, none, ever. And I know the girls have been doing it all along. He's just a stubborn old fart. I'll bet he crutches through the house yelling "coming through!" (his famous almost-last words).

crazy_eyes ago

I have tried to warn him myself, i almost expected something like this to happen to him

cynicaloldfart ago

It must be very frustrating, I'm sure. I, and all of us, are so fortunate he didn't break his arms or hands. At least he can still follow his main passion. Can you imagine 50 years of dedication? The only thing I'm sure I've done for that long is breathe. It at least is comforting he now has 3 ladies to tend to him, and they do that very well.

crazy_eyes ago

I never even thought about that, how much worse it could be

TheBuddha ago

Yeah, but it's damned frustrating at times. I really, really miss my mobility. I was so happy to be allowed to walk.
