  1. Please, Cocaine. I'm a high class druggy.
  2. strange...since music must make sense logically and mathmatecally to be music yes, but don't you see, the Music Gods said that only music had to be logical and precise, and mathematical. The instruments you play them on don't have to make any sort of sense. Please. actually the guitar is a masterpiece of mathmatical precision... but you are a lowly walrus..what do YOU know? Yes, but that's only the BODY of the guitar which is precise and mathematical. You see theres also the ethereal 'guitar soul'. That's where the maple fretboards fastness property comes from. ummmn..... yeah. the "guitar soul" comes from the player...it is an extension of the player's own soul,not the product of maple or rosewood Well thats what you think. However, I think that anyone will realize that in fact it's the melding of the two souls that produces music... OK, I'm beginning to freak myself out now... and thats not easy to do.

  5. There's no logical reason for it, the guitar gods simply deemed it to be so, and it was.
  6. eh..anyone that loves "while my guitar gently weeps" is allright with me,even if you ARE crazy hahaha, you can't fault that song. <---man that's a cool smilie.
  7. Well I can't say much that way, because I started on an old rosewood Squier, didn't play for a year or so, perfect my technique for a few years with a Martin and then finally got my Fender, so it's not like I play an electric with rosewood anymore. And you can't really compare an accoustic to an electric. But that's what I've heard, and in my limited experience with the former what I've experienced. There's certainly not a huge difference, but it is noticable. I don't know, call me crazy.
  8. I don't know, I've certainly noticed a difference in the speed of my slides upon switching from a rosewood to maple fretboard (of course i suppose I could just be getting better ) But I seem to recall hearing from a few sources that maple was faster - more suited for blues guitar with all the slides and bends than rosewood.
  9. I believe maple necks are faster, you can slide around a lot more on them. Witness Clapton and his maple necked Strat. I'm not too sure about tonal differences though.
  10. Well what do you know I'm new here too. Right now I've got: American Strat. Martin D-16 GT Since this is a guitar forum I won't bother describing those... Up next, some sort of project guitar.
  11. Lets see... 1- Peaches and Diesel - Clapton 2- I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles 3- While My guitar Gently Weeps - Come on, I'd think this'd be pretty obvious. 4- Signe - Clapton 5- VooDoo Child (slight return) - Hendrix 6- Cry For A Shadow - Lennon and Harrison
  12. Hey, New to the forum. But I've got a question. Over the next three years I'd like to start restoring an old beat up vintage electric guitar of some sort. I don't want to spend a lot of money (obviously the more I spend the better position I'll start off in generally). But do any of you have any suggestions for a good first project guitar? What about resourses for restoration? Thanks!
