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.

Here is another one from a while back, this one includes my buddy Chris, here is him and I playing Mr Bojangles

LOL You shared that one not long ago. That's okay, I'll listen again and I liked it the first time.

If I ever make it out that way, Chris is gonna have to come sing for me. I'll play - and even lead him in with a nod to show him when to start the vocals for tricky timing songs. We're gonna do some wonderful songs.

That would be so awesome. We could spend days jamming with you, wouldnt even want to stop to sleep, maybe to take a leak cause im sure there will be drinking involved, but theres a sink right there where we jam, if necessary. Or a door to the outside right next to the sink

Don't you live in the suburbs?

crazy_eyes ago

kind of, where i live theres really nobody around except the cars that drive past on the road. I have on neighbor, he dont give a shit what we do. Across the street is a huge cemetery and theres a couple acres of woods behind me and on one side, theres city all round in a mile in every direction except toward the water but its a little secluded spot in between at the end of a commercial area so theres no noise ordinance and we can jam loud all night if we want to

That's not nearly as bad as I was picturing.

Sweet!

You can piss right off my porch, if you want. I also have ample bathrooms. The bathroom next to the game room has a urinal, even. Yup, it's got a real urinal! (I planned ahead!)

Shit, you can shoot firearms off my porch. Ain't nobody gonna notice.

LOL I can see me making a trip in the RV, so I can bring a couple of amps and some equipment. We'll see if your neighbor still likes you after that!

I dont know if he likes me or not. Hes never complained. When I moved in here a couple years ago I went over and introduced myself one day and asked him if the loud music bothered him and he said he's never noticed it inside his house, as long as its not drowning out his porn he's all right, and he's never come around to complain about anything, we wave to each other once in a while. I dont know what he thinks of whats going on here. There always a lot of people coming and going

That seems so foreign to me now.

LOL I used to live similarly but I've changed. Maine has changed me. I know every neighbor quite well. I see them very regularly. We stop in and visit. If one of us is going into the village, we may call a few other neighbors and ask if they need anything - or if they want to come with us.

Maine has changed me significantly. I really only notice when I contrast it with other people.

I think its more just we dont really have anything in common, and we really havent spent any time together. I usually have things going on, but I usually know my neighbors, I always have in the past. I think its more like there in that respect here than it is in a lot of other places.

It's so different than the way I live now. Ah well.

I'm pretty sure they've seen plenty with that crew around.

That does seem likely, but they haven't seen TheBuddha on a bender!
