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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
