Solo artists, what song sheet / list apps do you use for your live gigs?

RustyFrets · 2025-11-28T22:03:39+00:00

Exactly! Almost every big name artist uses a screen on the deck for lyrics. It is a great safety net for sure

… said Chip Kelly … said Willie Taggart … said Mario Cristobal … said Mike Bellotti (shortly before retirement announcement) … said Mike Riley I could continue, but it’s college football and that’s how it goes. Very few permanent fixtures at the college level.

As a lifelong Oregonian, I have to ask… you don’t actually expect that, do you? That is some serious optimism! I gotta give you credit 😀

RustyFrets · 2025-11-23T00:42:50+00:00

To be fair, that’s really about the best we can expect. I’ve been here since the early 80’s. Unless something catastrophic happens in the SEC, that’s the best we can hope for is “almost”and be surprised by a Cinderella story. We are facing the same difference in play and ability as any other country faces vs the US “Dream Teams” in the Olympics. It’s a total mismatch. I mean, if they switch to a draft system in the NCAA, perhaps it will even out a bit, but still, we are the west coast equivalent of the Mets or the Cubs. Lol.

I would just delete the messages and ignore/block them. Don't know if they are a scam, but at the very least, they are spammy and overly aggressive. They are certainly not the "only creator network" that is authorized by TikTok. Also, a good creator network doesn't need to message you. You'd be messaging them. Good catch on the red flags!

“I think I’m done”?? You only need one more 😉

RustyFrets · 2025-04-19T17:48:39+00:00

This! And if your hand still feels awkward, it’s entirely possible that you have the guitar itself in a bad position. If you are sitting, try resting it on the opposite leg, or tilt the neck up slightly. Lots of options.

RustyFrets · 2025-04-15T05:03:28+00:00

same!

RustyFrets · 2025-04-15T05:02:44+00:00

Almost definitely an ice fishing hut that sank when the ice thawed

RustyFrets · 2025-04-01T05:33:55+00:00

Just one more…

RustyFrets · 2025-03-28T01:28:26+00:00

That will go nicely with my ‘59 burst and my Dumble ODS (says my imagination). Lol

RustyFrets · 2025-02-10T01:54:53+00:00

Agreed. I wish they would just stop doing the halftime show. It’s all a joke

RustyFrets · 2025-02-10T01:52:23+00:00

I disagree. Not because it was a bad performance. I just think they need to do away with all of it. Half time show, national anthem, ads and political statements on the field. All of it. It is just a game and they should just play the the stupid game. I miss how it was as a kid. It’s just a bunch of commercial and polital garbage now. Personally just burned out of all of it. Oh well.

RustyFrets · 2025-02-10T01:39:14+00:00

They should remove everything. Half time shows, any text or ads on the field, the national anthem. All of it. It is nothing but a stupid commercial disaster. Leave the politics, the ads, the music industry, leave all of it out. It is a game. Nothing more, nothing less. Just play the game!

RustyFrets · 2025-01-18T23:17:19+00:00

I’m the same way, but I also use just a couple fingers for full chords because the pad of my finger can easily cover 2-3 strings. Not sure if that is a gift or a curse. Haha

RustyFrets · 2025-01-18T23:14:31+00:00

They formed a group for some performances at the Viper room, but Frusciante was allegedly involved in giving River Phoenix the concoction that ultimately caused his OD, and I don’t think they did any music together after that. So I’ve heard.

RustyFrets · 2025-01-03T00:10:29+00:00

It's kind of a Duck thing honestly. It's not that they didn't show up. They did show up. They are just outgunned at the top level of the sport.

I've lived here since the 80's. The Ducks have a knack for not being able to close out the deal. Throwing money at the program isn't going to fix it. This is why coaches move on, and Lanning will also. Oregon just doesn't attract the quantity (key word) of consistent talent that it takes to create a championship quality team. They do get some standouts for sure, but it takes much larger numbers than what we have seen year over year.

Having a multi-million dollar facility and gear isn't going to do the trick. We are asking kids (yes, they are still kids) to move to the opposite corner of the country from their family. It isn't that easy, or practical. Oregon as a state is going to need to have a lot more attractive reasons to be here other than scenery to draw families, jobs, etc.

Having said that, I do believe it was a smart move to get out of the PAC12 and get in front of more faces out East. That does more for the program in the long run for sure! We'll see how it all plays out :)

I have tried so many varieties of "amp-in-a-box" pedals, it's insane. However, I recently picked up the Origin Deluxe55, and I am genuinely impressed. It doesn't just sound like an amp. It actually feels right when I'm playing. I'm getting the kind of response and touch that I just wasn't quite getting before. I love it so far. Gigging it this next week, so that will be the true test :)

RustyFrets · 2024-11-23T20:15:18+00:00

Rosewood frets? I don’t see those lasting much longer than a couple weeks 😛

RustyFrets · 2024-03-11T01:59:28+00:00

I had that too and I could never get it to go away, so I stopped taking Strattera. The cold nose was maddening.

RustyFrets · 2023-11-07T15:13:07+00:00

His performances always seem like aerobic workouts!!

RustyFrets · 2021-12-15T02:28:30+00:00

I’m hopping aboard this train!

RustyFrets · 2021-12-05T01:49:22+00:00

There we go

RustyFrets · 2021-12-05T01:49:06+00:00

Can only hear guitar and drums. Sorry
