My needs, goals and rules for this years camp. Dan, Jason - Listen up!
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2015 12:25 am
Rule #1 - No Beer/Wine/Hot Damn/followed with Tequila with Dave - not gonna happen!
*NOTE to everyone - Dave cheated, he didn't have to be anywhere the next morning until 10:30! Of course, that was less than 6 hours after we quit for that night? Or did we quit?
Rule #2 - I will bathe sometime during camp. Regardless the facilities, I will bathe.
Rule #3 - I will not overeat, at best not every meal.
Rule #4 - I will find the courage to remember a song to play with Cory da Cat.
Rule #5 - I will.............
Enough Rules! I hate rules anyways, who needs 'em? I was made for Cracking Codes!!
Needs and Goals - simple -
This is where Dan and Jason come in, you guys are going to be a part of our 'group' night, the three of us. Better get to figuring out what we are going to play (I chose for Jason and I last year) so it's up to you guys. I can guarantee I will need the extra practice (especially if I'm going to sing - you know how lyrics just mess with me). My wife will be there yet she's used to seeing me do silly things, and she knows all about my memory - claims it's 'selective' at times. Imagine that! Kind of like my hearing?
In all honesty, I still have not firmed my dates in and out yet. I will be there, that's for sure! Donna (she flies in Saturday) and I are thinking of staying around and maybe heading to Tahoe that next weekend or sooner, doing a wine tour, and such.
And just for Shel - open a piano, any piano. See how the fat strings are long and the skinny ones short? - Kinda the same 'theory' behind the 'multi-scale/fan fret' thing. The fact it's 'ergonomic' is just a side effect. There are no 'hard rules' to the extent of the difference in the scale between strings, not one anyone can really pin down. The guitar I ordered has a 3/4 inch difference. 3/8 of an inch on both the nut and the saddle as compared if they were parallel. First 'parallel' (at a 90 degree angle to the board) fret is the fifth.
As for the arm bevel and the 'Demi' cutaway, just for comfort and bling for myself, maybe there's something to it, maybe not. Someone like Dan would be much better at telling that story than I. Looks cool though, don't it?
And 'volume' was the word I was looking for. Martin built the first "Dreadnaught" for exactly that, more volume (room) inside more 'volume/sustain' out.
Perhaps I should go even further and say "songs"?
Anyone else wanna play?
