Quote:Ha! I hope so. You know how kids are...

Usually when someone asks me a stupid question I give them a stupid answer, that's a fault I have. Your a better man than I. But it's much appreciated.

Any time duder.. Any questions, just ask.. Like i said, I've been playing for over 20 years and it never gets old.. I was in a couple local bands here in Jax, but I stopped because greed got involved.. I play for the love of it, not to make money.. To me, there's nothing more rewarding than to sit there and pick up the guitar, play what's in your soul and soak in it's goodness.. People can clown you, ridicule you, talk down to you, demoralize you, hate you and wish you were dead.. But you know what? When it's just you and your guitar, it's a thing of beauty that you can express without words..

I get it, I think it's pretty darn cool. I can't do it but have much respect for those who not only can, but put the effort into it to learn. I'm sure it's not easy. I was too busy in school chasing girls. If I had to do it over again I woulda tried to squeeze in learning how to play guitar or another manly instrument. Kill two,birds with one stone! Lol!

You're a guitar player.. You just don't know it yet..

Ha! I've played guitar hero and rock band. That is the closest I've ever gotten. I will say that I did feel kinda cool when I was doing well. But, somehow the endless lines of girls wanting my... Let's say autograph never appeared. Lol.

You play for the love of it man, not for others..

Doing good, building an insulated doghouse tonight. We've been having some sub-freezing weather out here lately.

Quote:Okay, that's what I thought. But wasn't sure. I feel kinda dumb asking but, hey, I'm not a musician. Thanks guys.

Don't sweat it, when I started playing I didn't know whether to buy a 6 string guitar or the 4 string one.

(The 4 string thingy was a bass guitar)

A few years ago when the game was really popular, I used to go to a lot of Rock Band parties. Lots of fun, but I can't play the game a lick! So no girls for me either.

I'm an SPCA mutt kinda guy. I never invest too much in animals because they typically don't last long out here.

Sub freezing?? Where are you from?

( The more you know) remember those PSA commercials? That's how,I feel Now. I am learning a lot!

WingerDinger · 12-15-2013, 02:13 AM

Never played Guitar Hero or Rockband either.. I actually laughed at those things.. It wasnt till I saw the commercial for Rocksmith where you use your real axe to play, then my eyes about popped out of my head haha

Central California. Very unusual for us - It's been down to 21 degrees a few times in the past week.

Darn it. While scrolling through the thread on my phone I accidentally hit the Like This button on one of TMD's posts. Should I say some Hail Mary's, or something?

Winger, did you ever record anything with your band(s)?

WingerDinger · 12-17-2013, 04:00 PM

Quote:Winger, did you ever record anything with your band(s)?

Nope. Most of it was parties for friends, a couple Battle of the Bands and some graduation parties. Most of it was all covers. Some improv.. Mostly Metallica, Pearl Jam, GnR, CCR, Skynryd ect.. No real money was charged. Most was just to put the name of the band out there.

**Senor Fantastico** · 12-17-2013, 04:38 PM

Nice covers! My band used to do a cover of Pink Floyd - Time. That was really the only one we did a lot though. The other guitar player insisted on it haha.

Did your band ever win any of the battles?

Not a chance haha. We could cover the whole Metallica black album though. Had tons of fun doing it. Still can to this day. Play it enough and you'll never forget it haha
