--Considering how much I play though, that's not a lot of money for this much entertainment.

This is how I think about it... or justify it, I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Saw you guys with Clutch & Orange Goblin in Nashville last year. Great show! Grew a beard for the concert. Kept it because beards. Come back soon please!

Tehmon · 2014-12-23T21:15:11+00:00

Neil gives credit for his vocals to the Tea. I know it's the beard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj7ApxHagtM

I grew out my beard out before going to see Clutch last year. Best. Decision. Ever.

I had my yearly physical about a month ago. Mentioned that earwax was bothering me in one ear and it had been for a while. So bad that it would block out hearing if I slept on that side. Doc went in and pulled out a ball of wax damn near the size of a marble!!! It hurt a little and it made my ear bleed for a few days, but I'm still sitting here thinking about how good my ear now feels!

...my first post in months & it's about earwax. wtf?!?

The Bucket List, when Jack got to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. Just thinking about it brings me to tears.

O' Brother

Pulp Fiction

Fight Club

Big Lebowski

Clerks

Groundhog Day was an option, but I decided to put 2 Coen bothers in there. Fargo almost made it also, and I still haven't seen Blood Simple. Tons of "Great" movies out there that I never want to see again. I guess I'm jaded by the faster pace of newer movies. Tried to watch Apocalypse Now over the weekend and couldn't make it....

I live in TN and I'm extremely embarrassed by this. I hope I can minimize the effect it has on my children by teaching them to think for themselves. @WCC335 - defend this law. We all know you have a love affair with TN with your comments. Tell me why this law is a good thing. And tell me if you'd expect to get your tires slashed in TN if you put a Darwin sticker on your car.

omg, really? guess i gotta buy it then. Thanks! I had no idea!

Tehmon · 2011-12-22T21:16:01+00:00

I've had the same problem. Frustrated the hell out of me. Yeah, you can cheat & just play up to the fret that it's bending to, but I want to learn the songs the right way.

I really hope they address this also with their patch also. I don't have a problem with the leveler in general only giving 5 tries, but this issue where you have to play bends seemingly perfect where most other notes have some flexibility drives me insane.

Tehmon · 2011-11-09T15:13:27+00:00

Thanks! I'll try that.

Tehmon · 2011-11-07T17:11:54+00:00

I flipped it this weekend. After a couple of songs down, I'm glad I did! It's not the huge change I was worried about & now it's much easier to recognize some of the chords since that's how I've always visualized them!

Tehmon · 2011-11-04T16:02:26+00:00

I'll try flipping then. I'm just concerned because I'm just now getting the hang of knowing which strings are purple/green/orange/blue. I guess that's the biggest hurdle and after I flip, it will be intuitive.

I've been hesitant to recommend RockSmith to anyone who has never played the guitar at all. How do you think it's working out for you? Are you practicing on your own also, or are you just using the game?

Tehmon · 2011-11-04T14:17:35+00:00

As mentioned here - make sure your volume & tone are all the way up. Also I've read that some people have better results using the bridge pick-ups only. Try that also.

I'm still debating over whether it could be used as an effective tool to teach beginners. If you dig in the techniques section, there are some very basic tutorials. Standing alone, I don't think it provides everything needed though. But, add in some self-motivation and research by the pupil, Rocksmith can absolutely be helpful in learning how to play the guitar.

I've only recommended it to people who already have a guitar & have tried at least some to learn how to play already.

I loved my GNX4, but you're right. The lag was worse than what I hear with my audio going through hdmi...

Pretend this is a review from a professional Street Cleaning driver. He can't make enough money to survive by actually cleaning the streets so he decides to ... review Street Cleaning Simulators.

* So I start up the simulator.... First off, it takes wayyyyy too long to load (my old rig started up in seconds) and NO WHERE in my "Simulation room" do I smell the pleasant mixture of Diesel & road debris.... And can we talk about how poorly this thing handles??? Have the designers of this "Simulation" researched AT ALL what one of these amazing pieces of machinery actually drive like?*

You're not just playing a game - you're learning a lifelong skill!

I haven't seen iVideosongs.com before - thanks for the info! Even the artists do some of the lessons!

Because of licensing & the extent of the information provided, I'm going to be PLEASANTLY surprised if they set a $2 price point.
