Don’t ask me why. I have no use for pedals because I don’t perform publicly at all, but my neighbors just figured out I play guitar and have a Strat to go along with my acoustic. lol

I’m improving. I’d say I’m squarely in the intermediate range now. I occasionally actually play a really nice lead to an 8 bar or 12 bar blues to go along with all the times I land on a bad note and remember I still suck.

It’s the one positive that’s come out of the lockdown and pandemic. I play every day now for at least 15-30 minutes. I tries to add something new to my playing almost every week. As the weeks and months passed, I slowly became less bad. I still struggle with some aspects of picking technique. I try to alternate pick as much as possible, but some fast patterns feel more natural in other ways. It’s a struggle between what I think may be better long term and what works better now, Next year it’s on to slide and some Robert Johnson and hopefully improved fingerstyle using alternate base better.

Z-man:
I’m not big on Vassell, Hayes, Williams or Anthony (who seems to be safely out of the picture) but would be okay with pretty much everyone else. Even if we wind up with one of those four I’d hope that the scouts saw something that I didn’t.

I’m OK with Vassell and Hayes but I’m OK with a lot of the choices at 8. I’m not OK with Williams and Anthony. I’m more interested in moving up from 27 or 33. There’ll be some quality players in the 2nd half of the first round.

TheClashFan: Yeah, that Wall contract is more than a “tough pill to swallow.” It’s more like a handful of pills to swallow…

It is. I don’t want any contracts more than 2 years long. And I don’t want a player, known for his speed, who last played in 2018 and ruptured his Achilles. Speaking of a fist-full of pills…

Saw it (very good) and signed up to play on Chess.com today. I won my first game 🙂

Prince used Boss pedals extensively.

The Honorable Cock Jowles:
Do you know what chorus he used? CE-2 or Dimension C is my guess. Weren’t a lot of options when he was being a weird mainstream jazz fusion star.

I seem to recall he actually used multiple delays rather than a straight chorus pedal. I remember because teenage me was always bummed that my even with the front pickup tone rolled all the way down and running thru a CE-2 my Strat sounded nothing like Metheny.

oops- JK beat me to it.

Seems like a lot of work but you gotta admit that’s a pretty nice chorus sound
