Res...
Just forced myself to put down the guitar...
Mannnn, that Tone Bridge is nice! I could play with that thing for hours.
I never even got to the other app I got today.
It's cool that you don't have to try to figure out how they got their tone, on the tunes you wanna play.
I'm in the same boat, but I still try to make time for @jack walsh13 when I can. He's really into it.
Hey…..can one of y’all play Bobby Brown My Prerogative or Prince Baby I’m a Star on that motherfucker? How about Bo Diddley’s riff from So What You Saying? Damn…..man y’all make me wanna go pick up Guitar…..Hero

Grew up playing piano and the upright bass. Mad at myself for not continuing. Can’t read music for shit anymore but can still play a few songs on piano by earYOU PLAY THE PIANO? I'M GONNA LEARN HOW TO PLAY THAT SOON AS WELL. WHEN I BUY THE YAMAHA CLAVINOVA CSP-150 DIGITAL PIANO I'M GONNA CREATE A DOES ANYONE PLAY THE PIANO THREAD. I NEED YOU FRONT AND CENTER RES.
I never knew that Cash. You gotta check in the thread when I create it too. My goal is to become a professional guitarist, bassist, pianist and saxophonist. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!!
I never played that song but yeah I could.
Too bad Ike's gorilla pimp hand ended up getting more shine than his insane music talent.
Coolness.
Unless I change my mind beforehand, I plan to gift myself with an upright bass for Christmas.
That's a bucket list thing for me, actually.
I played classical string bass in college. Also, my best friend at that time had an upright bass. When we'd be conversing about women and life, I'd be plucking jazz riffs on it. Love those instruments. I'd want one just to look at sitting in the corner of my living room or my music space as much as I'd want it to play. lol
My older cousin played his cards right growing up. Got into music early and stuck with piano and guitar to this day. He’s about 46yo now and played in 2 bands during teen years. He’s a music teacher at an elementary school that 2 of his 4 kids attend. I remember thinking “man, he’s smart. He’s got his little part-time jobs here and there, but he’s making real $$$ off his side hustle with teaching people both instruments.” Better yet - setting his own hours and people coming to him. They were paying quite a bit too.
Bruh, that's a classic. It's going on the list for songs to learn... plus, it looks pretty straight forward.
Bruh, several years ago, before I picked up the guitar again, I had 3 guitars hanging on my wall...just decorations.
It wasn't til I realized that one of them that was all beat up from my son playing it on tour was still nicer than the guitar I tried to play, as a kid.
So, I decided to fix it and learn how to play... best decision I've made in a long time.
I'm almost as much a collector and tinkerer as I am a player.
It's like riding a bike, man...
You have more of a foundation than I did...I only played for a few years as a kid...and then I was TERRIBLE
You'd be able to get your groove back in no time.

Bruh, got my FOURTH Fender amp today...FREE. I damn shole don't need it, but I may sell it or package it with some other stuff for a trade.
Of the three I already have, I spent only $100..a Frontman 15G..$20
Mustang v2...$30 or $40
Performer 650 $30 or $35
The new (used) one is a KXR 100. It's a keyboard/guitar/ mini PA.
This bitch is massive! 27" high and 55 lbs, but feels more like 75 lbs.
A big 15" speaker with a dual piezo horn.
Claims to do 80 watts, but it looks like it'll shake the windows.
3 separate channels, headphone jack, and an effects loop jack with a mic input.
I scan Craigslist, often, for free stuff...you'd be surprised at what people give away... especially rich ones.
I cleaned it up and tested it...it only has a clean channel, but it has a lil EQ built in. This is perfect, cuz I can use my own pedal or ToneBridge for any effects. It sounds nice.
It's in pretty good shape. The only thing missing is the plastic Fender logo and the handle...it's so heavy, I'm not sure I'll replace that. It damn near needs to be on casters.
One day, I'ma come up on a Twin, Deluxe, or Super Reverb...or Marshall.
Ya man Fred Sanford strikes again.

Great job. You do get some good deals. You be checking out Reverb too right? Great deals there as well. Everything is authenticated too. 
I love Reverb. I check it out to find the value of stuff I buy. I saw that amp for sale between $150-$200.
The only problem I have with them and any other online site is buying before you get a chance to play it.
I bought my Squier Strat like that.
That thing needed MAJOR fret work. It was so bad, that it would scrape my fingers, when playing....I had to file the edges of damn near every fret to get it playable.
Then there was the fret buzz, that I learned how to fix...that took forever.
I'd buy nicer ones online, as long as there's a return policy, and you can see and research the serial number.
I'm sure some of these deals on Craigslist and others are bootlegs...when someone is selling a $2000 Les Paul for $300, buyer beware.
The thing, now, is the quality of even bootleg Chenders and Chibsons (Chinese bootleg Fenders and Gibsons) is pretty damn good.

On Reverb I only fuck with 5 star guitar and bass shops around the country. That's the best way to go. Can still pick up phenomenal deals that way too. But of course if I can't find a deal, Sweetwater is my main go to spot. They ALWAYS what you want when others are out of it.

I can look at Sweetwater and Reverb all day, just checking on deals...
As much as I'd like to be the guy in love with one guitar, I can't...there's so much cool stuff out now.
Absolutely. I'm learning that. I love my Strat but I can't wait to get my hands on that Gibson!!!
Yesssirr, he's one of the best!
Dude can play anything...and teach it as well.
Absolutely. And has great musical guests on as well.
I started with Justin guitar lessons and went through all his lessons, until about the last few. But then, I figured I knew enough to learn from several teachers.
There's a buncha good teachers on YT..
Marty Music, Eric Blackmon...
Mannnnn, how you like it?
You know the 1st thing I'm doing is Good Times by Chic. Bassline then that guitar over it!!!Just started messing with it. It's phenomenal!!!!!

Post that up, when you do...I wanna check it out.
What's new with your progress?
It used to take me a day or two to learn a new tune. Now, I can figure it out in a few minutes...often, as soon as I see where the initial hand placement is.
Also, just starting to know which chords are used together... especially in rock songs.
That A-D-A or D-A-D combo is used all the time.
I was learning an old Montrose tune, and realized that at the end of another of his joints, he uses D-A...the one I just learned, he just reverses the chords.
Then, figured out that Sammy Hagar, who was the singer for Montrose, used the SAME chord pattern as well on one of his tunes.
There's some great rock guitarists, but I've found that there's a lotta lil shortcuts and cheat codes they do to make stuff easy.
As a kid, I liked alotta rock tunes cuz, to my ears, they just seemed to be doing more.
Now, I see that the strumming patterns in R&B is wayyy more intricate than I imagined.
Worked on C-G-D-Am cord changes using the Fender Tone amp with the Mustang amp. You literally don't need any effects pedals with this Amp and app. Over 200 effect pedals are there. Only pedal I'm gonna need is a wah pedal. I'll need that one. Been using the 80's Hysteria Experience preset with those chords. Sounds real nice. Has Delay, large hall reverb, Simple compresser and pedal detune pedals already set to it. That app and amp is a game changer!!!
That's a must have, bruh .
Can't play that 70s funk without it.
