You are a great asset to this great community!
Aren't you off by two letters in asset? :shock: :P :D Just kidding Taso.

I wasn't bragging, I was commenting on the inverse relationship between posting and practicing.
i don't mean to come off as a "know it all" some stuff i know about, most stuff i'm good at Googling.
i could probably practice a lot more and still be barely concidered an intermediate.
this is my second "go-round" with the guitar and i'm barely playing Layla (unplugged version)
Chords:
Dm xx0231

D x57775

i still hold to the comment i made in the "what have you learned" thread,
you guys (and a few gals) have made all the differance in my progress.

I am beginning to think that having a large number of posts may have some impact on the amount of actual practicing that takes place but in some regards it is just as valuable. Having a large amount of posts also means having read a large amount of posts. Even an expert can learn things from others by reading about their problems and fixes. I have learned a lot from healthy discussions on theory, chord formations, scales, ways to practice etc..
Then add is the factor that answering someones questions takes some degree of thinking and investigation to provide the right answer which you can also learn from. And thinking about the answers is also practicing.
There are some exceptions to the rule like this post of mine. It adds to my post count but adds no value to the community and I didn't learn anything. Probably like most of my posts :lol: :lol:
Since I only post when I'm at work it never interferes with practice time...so you'd think the reverse would be true...less posts = better player...hasn't worked for me..maybe if I stop posting and stop playing I'll get better..yea I think that's it

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
The "official" Guitarnoise index....
I =(((P x (APT - (PTL/NSP))) x (L - F)) / GT) x ((HG/TR) x 100)
I is your official GN index rating; P = Number of posts, APT = Average time spent per post, PTL = Practise time wasted posting, NSP = New subjects practised, L = What you've learned, F = what you've forgotten, GT = Actual time spent playing guitar, HG = Help Given and TR = Thanks received......
My GN index is 42....now I'm off for some lunch at Milliway's...
:D :D :D

I'd have to agree with you anyways TF!
Does that equation really work vic?
*edit: Changed "taht" to "that". I always make taht typo. ;)
Does taht equation really work vic?
It is mathematically sound but you have to lie to make it come out the way you want :twisted: :lol:

Many people have lost fortunes believing that. And many have created fortunes exploiting that belief. :?

And that's the important part. But all to often the saying never gets there.

That's cause people forget to not believe everything they hear, or read. ;)

BRRRRRRRR , again my post got deleted :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
And I didn't even delete this one.
Couple of clues though, if it's full of words to defeat the censor, demeaning to women or anybody as a matter of fact, valueless or completely off topic, it stands a good chance of getting deleted.
You do post some good stuff. Just take the time to read what you just wrote before you hit the post button and you'll find you never get a post deleted.
