    I love to listen to someone playing guitar. The last time I went to hear someone playing was in, The Sir Walter Raleigh pub on Raleigh St about 8 years ago. My nephew gave me his electric yahama. But I cannot play it. I am going to look for a teacher in a couple of months to show me. It is so relaxing to listen to.

    If you have a computer you have all you need, The nice thing is you can learn when you have the time & can repeat it as many times as you need

    There are sites that are free & very good like Justinguitar.com never a hint about money unless you want to make a donation or licklibrary that charges a small amount per month

    I did try having lessons years ago but couldnt make all my appointments & found i forgot most of the lesson in about the time it took to drive home.

    The trick i find works for me is dont put the guitar away, Buy a stand & have it in sight & you will be more likely to pick it up

    Electric guitar easyier on the fingers , Steel accoustic harder, Nylon classical wider fretboard so more room for fingers can be electric like the new one i have.

    I do find myself playing more fingerstyle since getting the classical guitar + it gets played the most

  13. Fancy a LITTLE camping ???

    Our Sams dosnt sell gas ,It looks like they are not doing too good as one nearby has closed & our local is giving away memberships & still the parking lot is empty,

    There is a Walmart within 300ft that sells the same stuff cheaper it dosnt make sense to pay a membership.

    Our gas price is $3.69 for regular a bit more than yours

    I was going to take it to the NASCAR race this weekend at Ifninion but decided to go boating instead ,I dont like sitting in traffic for hours

    $4K - WOW! We had to buy new tires too - but they were about $1200 for six of em. I asked how long they will last - the answer was "we don't know, nobody has ever worn any out, they always need replacing because of age first!" My aim is to change that!

    Mine has a TAG axle that means 8 tires $420 each $60 mounting each + TAX & disposal fee - $4000 & a bit

    Mine has almost the exact layout as yours inside

    At least i can afford to put fuel in it again last time it was $360 but i did at least take it out 4 times

  18. LCD Monitors.

    You're thinking of 450-550 volt electrolytics!! The low voltage ones tend to dry out, the tops show convex structure instead of being flat. What happens electrically, is they lose their ability to store power.

    I've had high voltage caps scare the crap out of me, ie 5000 volt rating when they blow, they sound like a gun going off! Low voltage just fail, and the circuit just doesn't function anymore.

    Thats what happened to my video card the tops blew off but the stuff was to small to replace funny thing though it still worked

    Then my LCD Monitor did the blue flame thing but it was under warranty but not made anymore so they sent me this great big one, Thanks Samsung

    Anywhow it sounds like you are a electronic tech so i have a Question ,I just noticed that VHT guitar amps have a handwired amp really cheap but made in China do you think if i got one i could replace all the caps & stuff in it if need be
