Giggz Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I'm new I need to do a business plan for a guitar shop for college… so anyway, could you guys answer some questions for me please I'd be grateful for any feedback. p.s. could you tell me if any of my questions don’t make sense because I don’t know the first thing about guitars thanks! 1. What type/brand of guitar do you prefer to play? 2. Do you own a guitar? (If you answered no, go straight to question 5) 3. What type/brand of guitar do you own? 4. Where did you buy your guitar? 5. What is your favourite guitar? 6. Do you own an amplifier? 7. What brand/type of amplifier do you use? 8. How many watts is your amplifier? 9. How long have you been playing the guitar? 10. Scoring from 1 to 10 how well would you rate your guitar skills (1 = beginner, 10 = expert/professional musician/teacher) THANKYOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Westheman, do you see the irony in the third post on this topic? why yes "mrs." doctor ,of course...first thing i thought of.i actually did laugh out loud at my screen when i first saw it yesterday what gets me the most is the irony on two levels..first..that you actually mistook her as a guy(the opposite of what i did with you) and second...that you referred to her as a "him" even though you said you were going to consider techs as female in your mind,so it would seem as if you would have at least taken a gender neutral stance in this case... edit i just noticed that there is ANOTHER level of irony....the fact that she reffered to the forum at large as "you guys",which rendered my whole"logical assumptions of gender through word choice" crap i spewed in that other thread irrelevant i am drowning in irony and in my own ignorant assumptions based on an obviously flawed premise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
