When your kid is done riding in that plaything, send him over here. I'll
take him for a ride in a *real* sports car.

Can I bring my guitar and hook it up in that room?



Sure.

I've been seriously trying to relearn the guitar, this time doing things the
right way and it makes a big difference.
Eric Clapton has nothing to worry about but my playing has improved
considerably over the winter.
It seems like the better you get and the more flexible your fingers get, the
progress gets faster.

I love the "Blackie". I bought a dedicated Fender amp for it because it
seemed to overpower the inputs of the Marshall amp I had been using due to
the built-in preamp. I like the "clean" sound, so any distortion bugs me.
It sounds great with the Fender amp.

I also took another inexpensive, but decent Peavey "Strat" clone and tuned
it in an open "G" tuning. What a blast! Easy to play and people who know
me and my lack of ability are blown away.

My favorite is the Les Paul Gibson. I got a Vox tube amp for it for that
warm, classic Gibson sound. Both the Vox and Fender amps have DSP circuits
in them (new to me) that can be set up to emulate the sound of many
different classic amps along with various effects such as chorus, flanger,
tremolo, rotation (Leslie speaker sound), etc.

It's been a good way to kill the winter.

Are you still working out on your elliptical runner?

I am embarrassed to admit no. Last April, after dropping 65 lbs, I stopped
the rigid diet and exercise routine because I was outdoors and physically
active but still tried to watch how much I ate or drank. I did ok all last
summer and for a good part of this winter, but now I have realized that I've
regained about half of what I lost.

That's next. I have to get myself mentally pumped up again and start back
into the walking/running/weight lifting routine.
I don't think I have to go as rigid with the dieting, but I need to lose
some. I got down to 195 lbs (from 260) last time and everybody, including
the doc, said not to lose anymore. I need to be around 205-210 and right
now I am at about 225.

The hardest part is just getting started. I use a health club, and I
have found going in the morning helps to get the day started and going
in the evening helps to control my evening appetite. I have never had a
problem eating correctly during the day, it is at night when I eat too
much of the wrong stuff.

Do four miles on a treadmill, then go hit a hundred balls at the driving
range. I figure that's as good as walking 18 holes.

Yeah, and more fun. You don't feel like such a klutz.

Yeah, it's funny that when I first started playing the first thing I
did was go out and get a distortion pedal for my cheap strat. After
buying my last guitar, I find I just want to hear the guitar, clean..
well, sort of. It has dual Sam Duncan Humbuckers which give it a
little fullness, but I can switch them on and off... The action is so
light and the neck makes a very cool sound (it's not wood). Right now
I am trying to find strings I like for it, but I really don't know
what I am looking for. I need to take lessons soon, I am getting
frrustrated that I don't get better but I just don't know which
direction to go. I love the sound of electric, but find myself playing
more old acoustic stuff... Creedence, Dylan, CSNY... I am soooo
confused...

Learning the "right" way IS important. I did the same thing. Knocked
around for years, then started taking lessons from a very reputable
local guy. He told me to forget about half of what I thought I knew. I
didn't see the reasoning until a couple of months later and I noticed
I was able to do things that before I had worked and worked on.
