This is it, folks! The final Voat Friday Night Guitar Thread - AND - Our traditional Christmas Thread! Like always, everybody's welcome! Let's ride 'er 'til the wheels fall off and make some noise! (guitar)

submitted ago by TheBuddha

Are you ready to rock? Are you ready for a good time? Let's make some noise!!!

Today marks not an end to the FNGT, but marks a new chapter. There may be laughter and joy, or there may be tears and sorrow. For some, it could be both - and that's okay.

Let us huddle around the final embers that was the fire of Voat - but let us not go out silently. Let us leave this place with ruckus and merriment. Let us not just make enough noise to be heard 'round the fire, but let us make enough noise to be heard for miles around - so that others may appreciate our gifts.

Today it is the last guitar thread on Voat. If Voat goes down during the thread, look for us on Preview Voat

Like a Phoenix, we shall rise from the ashes and be enjoined anew on Poal.

Well I guess this is the Last Dance.

Jingle Bell Rock instrumental

I wish I could've played it better but what're you gonna do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ran out of Clyp space, went to these guys.

That's really bright and snappy. Very nice.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks COF. I like reading your articles of different songs and bands. I know you post them when some song triggers you to post about it. I know how that goes.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks. I also have a site with more involved write ups of songs. I've been lazy lately but I'm going to get back to it after the holidays. The table of contents lists them all by decade.

Love the sound of someone having fun while playing, nice track man

nigger_plz ago

Yeah that's a fun track to play. It's like you gotta hold yourself back from playing it too hard and it getting away from you. Like staying in control.

TheBuddha ago

I like it! And, you may not be last - there may be more. I like that you ALWAYS tackle something that challenges you. ALWAYS. That's how you get to the top. I made a claim earlier that I'm one of the best (top 500) guitar players in the world. I'm comfy with that claim. Why? I challenged the fuck out of myself and put my hours in. It's not ego when I say I'm in the top 500, that's just reality and is a result of the work I put in.

You too challenge yourself. I appreciate that. I appreciate that far more than someone playing it perfectly.

Also, you gotta do it all over again. We're playing another show tomorrow night at Poal! So, keep your energy and spirits up. We're going on the road! Two shows in two nights. The roadies are gonna bitch, but that's why they make the big bucks!

crazy_eyes ago

Top 500? LoL really? Come on man! I bet it's more like top hundred!

TheBuddha ago

Maybe. I can absolutely cover anyone in the top 10, but many of my originals are just phoned in. I'd have to fix that.

Hand_of_Node ago

I believe your claim. There was a point where I was well within the top 500, but with a certain type and circumstance of plant growth. Fun times in the 1980s.

TheBuddha ago

It takes time and effort to get into the top 500 of anything. I'm pretty comfy putting myself in that category. I think it shows in the work I put out.

It's "easy" to play your own thing. It's REALLY fuckin' hard to recreate something that someone else made and to do it so that it sounds identical. That's why you don't hear a lot of truly faithful covers, they're all a little different than what was originally recorded.

My goal, and by extension those with me, is to sound exactly like the album. It's not easy, but that's one of my favorite parts of the challenge.

nigger_plz ago

Thanks for your kind words sir. See I learned from Deshy. That's the way she talks. Real respectful like.

You're right I do like to try to extend myself. It's fun playing that guitbox.

I'm hit-n-run over there. I'll be there. Trying to do a different Christmas song. If I fuck it up, so be it.

TheBuddha ago

I never say ahead of time what we've done. So, there could be a new track for tomorrow night.

We actually considered breaking this week's track into two and sharing the first half on Voat and then the full thing on Poal tomorrow night. We decided against that.
