  1. do 2 or more string solos. it can be done, but you have to be able to play in certain keys; another option would be to begin playing songs in open tunings.

     

    play with your dynamics, quiet / mid / loud .... there really is a lot you can do with 2 instruments, it takes some inventiveness however. keep at it.

     

    i have buddies that were the 'proto' white stripes. the guitarist split his guitar so one amp was cranked with bass frequencies, the other with higher, i think he used a octave pedal too. the drummer played drums and keyboards at the same time. it was an interesting combo & they never really sounded empty.

  2. glad someone else out there recognizes eno's genius ...

     

    also, 801 Live is a pretty much awesome live album. eno does some of his 70s album tracks and also a terrific cover of 'tomorrow never knows'.

  3. Some people are arguing we are already in a recession but that the stock market is the only thing that doesn't reflect it -- and thats only because the stock market is being propped up by an activist Fed. I'm a bear.

    I wouldn't say I'm a bear, but reality (e.g. *a correction*) has a way of catching up with you, especially in an economy. How long can a nation dodge economic fundamentals? I guess we are going to find out.

  4. I'm no economist or expert, but if you have the head of the Fed Reserve saying 'slowdown coming up' it doesn't sound like a rosy boom happening. The dollar is weak, the u.s. has borrowed to the hilt, 'experts' are talking about inflation coming down the road --- seems kinda scary to me.

  5. What do you think of the Eastwood? Anyone else have an Eastwood or know someone who does? I just stumbled upon the Eastwood Guitars link on the Wilco website. I've never seen one before--but I am intrigued. . .

     

    i am actually selling mine right now on ebay---because i need some $$, not because it is a bad guitar. actually the one i have is well built & plays well. has a good vintage tone. no big complaints, only that the tremelo bar tends to throw it out of tune when used.

  6. I have a 2007 Gibson SG Standard with DR 10-46 Brite Wires. (main guitar)
