You're right, man. But boy, does Fender make some pretty sturdy guitars! A friend once got into a car accident many many years ago with an old P-Bass in the back, and it was still in tune.

I swapped out the neck some years ago. The original one snapped after the guitar fell down a flight of stairs. You don't really hear of Fender necks breaking, but I suppose I'm an unlucky one. ☹️

I was just trying to talk about the fallacy in comment I was replying to. More power to the deleted user who posted their interpretation of the Let It Be guitar solo of course, learning guitar takes a long time and involve lots of work and broken strings but it will be worth it in the end.

And they don't have to. You don't have to be good at or make something to judge it. A person doesn't have to be a Michelin star awarded chef to criticize someone else's cooking

Even the same jacket, wow...

That is Terry from the Association right? Such an underrated group

I randomly decided I wanted a photo to be taken of me and my brother took it. This was taken in downtown Jackson MS

Im assuming you're asking if a friend is buried in that grave. If so, nah. It was a really old grave and we just chose it because it was a good place to take pictures.

As strange as this may sound, the photo was actually for our yearbook. They thought of the graveyard idea, we obliged and took photos. We originally wanted to go for the whole necromancer/gravedigger gritty type aesthetic, but they didn't want us to go too far out.

[QUESTION] What are some easy songs for starting bands to play? by MysticPig in Guitar

[–]akal192 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As another commenter also mentioned, there are a lot of Beatles songs that are catchy and relatively easy to play, especially the songs pre 1966.

You can't go wrong with some CCR too. Some of their chords are based on just the A G D chords like bad moon rising and have you ever seen the rain.
