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.

I will share one more with you all tonight, this one is from a year ago as well, and it includes Verle. This is a song Verle had written some years back and he taught me how to play it so I threw some music together and had him sing it a couple times one night when he was over here having a few beers with me. Here's Livin' a Lie

I do realize how obnoxious requests can be, but I desperately want to hear Verle crooning 'Stand by me'. As raw, simplistic and in full on theater mode as only Verle can do it. I'd love to hear that :)

I think I am going to go by Verle's place tonight for a while. I am going to learn the notes for that song before I go there and talk him into it

Sweet :D

And a Happy New Year to you my dude :)

crazy_eyes ago

I will see what i can do

That does sound like something that should be done. Verle needs to realise he belongs to the FNGT world now and it would just be selfish to deny us his artistry.

crazy_eyes ago

I forwarded this message to Verle.

cynicaloldfart ago

Great. Whatever it takes to get him singing/talking/being Verle again.

TheBuddha ago

Yeah, I've heard that before. I wasn't sure, at first!

Also, does Verle ever have just a 'few' beers? When people say a few, I think 3 to 4. I'm not picturing Verle drinking just 3 or 4 beers.

crazy_eyes ago

Only if thats all thats in the fridge and he either doesnt have the money for more or doesnt have a ride to the liquor store

TheBuddha ago

Alright, that makes more sense!

Note to self: Look for beer in packs of 30. Get two. Plan on returning to the store.

crazy_eyes ago

We know of the thirty pack, thats whats running the bar in Verles bedroom

TheBuddha ago

Why is the beer in his bedroom?

crazy_eyes ago

The bar is in his bedroom, the beer is in the fridge in the kitchen

TheBuddha ago

I'm not sure I want to know the answer, but why is the bar in his bedroom?

crazy_eyes ago

Well, he took on a roommate for some extra money, and he was living with the owner of that bar that Chris and I had played at. The bar got shut down and they broke up so he basically moved the bar into his bedroom in verles place. Hes got a bar in there and decorated it all up with the stuff from that bar that was shut down so its like walking into a bar

I want to say that's awesome. However, that's a TERRIBLE idea.

That idea is so bad, I like it!

It's also sounds like the perfect location for a coke party! Coke parties always end up in a bedroom (not necessarily for sex) or in the bathroom. I've never figured out why, but they almost always do. I've done mountains of coke in bedrooms and bathrooms.

crazy_eyes ago

Im sure theres been a mountain through that bedroom
