I know you're a very sharp person, and know what you're talking about with music as well as shooting, but I'm still trying to figure out the guitar.

It's something that I will never decide I don't want to do anymore.

Stick with it!

one day, it will just click in your head, and then the real estate of the frets and fingerboard will just make sense.

the hard part is putting in the work to get there.....unfortunately there is no substitute for the time spent. Trusting the process is HARD!

To be fair, she had a point. How could you retaliate once she tazed you [Dunno]

Yes. Particular in his music instruction methods. His Schulwerk is amazing.

I told her that I would secure my safety using the minimum amount of force necessary if and when she ever threatened me again, verbally or otherwise. She remarked that I'd be tazed and that I wouldn't be able to respond.

Face. Palm.

Sounds like she like-likes you!

What about Wagner? Apart from his rampant anti-Semitic attitude and the incorporation of it into most of his works, I think his dynamic style and use of instrumentation, especially brass, was pretty revolutionary.

I think I need a replacement EDC flashlight. My 3yr old Fenix LD10, no longer will run in Turbo or Strobe modes, even with a brand new battery.

Should I stick with AA or bump up to a CR123 model?

Get ready to eat lots of BEEF, LOTS. I told you i have some contacts down south america way. Try the fried iguana with cactus leaves. Make dick HARD.

Your intestines on the other hand, very weak. I suggest you mix the toilet paper you use now with some newspaper. This way you're use to it when "In Rome"

Keep several cans of chick peas on hand, then toss in blender/foodprocessor/whatever when you have a craving. Add a few other ingredients and bam, homemade hummus. My wife used to make it all the time.

Most modern epic movie soundtracks are re iterations of Tchaikovsky and Wagner, and I enjoy the dynamic and emotional scores of a good soundtrack. Maybe Tchaikovsky and Wagner shouldn't be on your list, but I was interested in hearing your thoughts on them.

Mmmm... iguana, definitely an animal I haven't eaten yet, can't wait!

And [LOL] thanks for the tip, heading down there in 4wks for a 1wk stay, so I'll get an idea before I live down there.

Looking back I think I got stagnant after my first 4yrs. Went to college didn't play for a year. Went back to Hawaii and really got into it. Part of it probably due to depression.

My favorite thing to do is figure songs out. Billy joel and Elton John songs are pretty rough.

One day / night your minds eye will take over. You will not even realize it till you're finished . Like doing art, it comes to you without notice. One day struggling, next day you played without breaking a sweat.

Yep, we do this too.

also, you can make hummus out of lots of things as long as chickpeas are the main ingredient. Try adding kale, spinach, or basil and it becomes even healthier and tastier!

Its not really the instrumentation, its the motivations behind the instrumentation...... Sturm und drang!

Yup, it takes a little experimentation in the beginning, but if you stick with it, you'll soon find a recipe that tastes better than the store bought. And for what, a $0.50 can of chick peas as opposed to $4 for a tub of hummus with crap in it.

Pit took me four years to get the violin bow correct. I'm not a Russian style player, so I have to use my dropped right elbow to get weight at the tip of the bow. That's very difficult to do correctly, let alone making it look effortless (which is always the goal).
