along with other assorted vintage gear.

I hate replies like this. "Yeah, I used a guitar, an amp and some other stuff which I'm not gonna tell you but they did play a vital role in my sound."

Why did he bother to answer is he isn't really going to answer in the first place? Unless, ofcourse, 'assorted vintage gear' means a cable and a pick. :D
It was an interview, not an inquisition. He didn't mention what strings he used, what the amp settings were or what colour underwear he had on, either. After so long it's unlikely that he remembers exactly what was used, anyway.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I agree with moai. I think the musicians realise that the more people play, the more interested they are in music. That helps them become more popular and give's them a nicer sense of being part of the "community".

lol parker, it happens.

Everything sound good now?

Yeah man, it's all good. In fact, I have a lot of different tones that sound good to pick from now. You know, the personal taste and mood thing.

It's getting smarter. It's finally recognized that the browser I'm usually running on my Mac is Safari, not Netscape as it used to think.

Back in the '90s I had a similar script on my home page. Finally got tired of it.

Has anyone officially been kicked off this forum for being a complete dumb-a&&? I might be the first.

OK, so I finally found the tab for this tune. I try it, bust my butt trying to find some sort of hint of that tone I was looking for. I post on the forum, get some good answers. Try 'em out, still sounds like crud.

Then I see it on my print out. A simple little "capo at III". I'll admit it was small, but darn.

iv done some pretty stupid things....like post how much my old 64 would cost...

i havn't got kicked out yet lol

Are you saying I'm behind the times and need to retire it?

I use Safari on the Mac as well, and it always recognizes me correctly, FWIW.

I think it started recognizing Safari at the last sytem update. Maybe the one before it. I've seen several other sites recognize Safari as Netscape.

It's pretty much all about the engine that your browser is "built" off of.

I don't know the history of Safari, if Apple built it from a Mozilla derivative (like Netscape, Firefox and Camino.)
