Shot In The Arm

[Ohiogal]

1. I liked that a lot.

It should be on Joe and Kamala’s Inauguration Party Playlist, if it isn’t already!

[Glamrock]

2. It is a great tune

But it’s kinda about heroin (shot in the arm). Prolly not so good for inauguration...

[Ohiogal]

3. Oh, oops!

My bad for not paying closer attention to the lyrics!

[al bupp]

4. Well, the phrase could be taken poetically, nt

[Glamrock]

5. True true

But if you’re aware of the band and their vices...

6. Met Tweedy A Couple Times

He was with Henneman one of those times.
They were pretty normal dudes. Given their unique approach to music, I perhaps expected more "tortured artist" attitude. (Yeah, Billy C I'm talking to you).
But, I was wrong!

[Glamrock]

7. I feel you man!

Glad to hear it. The “tortured artist” shtick gets old really fast!

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Hey, I'm Not That Old!

And, it wasn't that fast!!!

[Glamrock]

9. Bwaaaaaaa!

For the record, you speakin to a more David Lee Roth personality (or ego truth be told), than the “tortured artist.

10. Same Here

I'm a showy piano player & a showy guitar player!
And, a very affected singer.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be as fun.

11. Really?

Nice! What styles does you dominate my man? Blues, rock, jazz,etc.?

12. This Might Take Some 'Splainin'

I started playing piano at 4. Standard method.
Just before I turned 11, I heard Monk & Tuner the first time. Guy at the piano store heard me play and told my dad I didn't need a teacher but a coach. So, from around 11 to 19 I was a jazz piano player.
At 19, when I graduated from college (1976), I bought a guitar. I wanted an instrument I could carry, and with 9 years of learning harmony, improve, chord construction & the like, I didn't want an instrument I couldn't play chords on. So, I didn't choose guitar, it chose me.
I taught myself from listening to Clapton, Trower, Blackmore, Iommi, et all.
Then the Cars can along and figured out to blend guitar tricks.
Since I was mostly multi-keyboards and strictly second guitar, I plateaued.
But, in 1988 I got hooked on Satriani & got really serious again.
Now, I'd say the famous guitar player I'm closest to is John Petrucci.
I'm very fast, and combine runs with all notes picked and legato.
I play a lot in locrian & dorian modes when I'm not just doing typical pentatonic box.
I do the pick squeals and whammy stuff, so there's some noise added to my playing.
As a keyboardist now, I can sum it up easily. There is no such thing as a three tone chord!
