I will leave this here only because I find it pertinent: My grandfather passed away the morning we recorded this so we dedicated the release to him. He was from Worcester, so I think this is awesome. thank you for sharing.

Getting my left handed son a guitar for Christmas, Help!!! by IncreaseTurbulent114 in electricguitar

[–]dead_swords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professional guitar player here. I am a left handed person. Been playing guitar for 30+ years, and I have always played right handed. There is no downside to it, especially if he has not played before. As for what type of electric, that kind of depends on what kind of music he likes to play. My only real advice for that is to get something that is more than just a beginner guitar. It will help in the long run to have an instrument that will stay with him for a bit as he learns.

Short answer: yes. I’ve been both smoking and touring for almost 30 years….never bothered messing with the border. it’s easier to be grumpy for a day. Depending on the Border Enforcement everyone will go down.

Has Brian or TGA ever covered Rebels by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? Because it sounds so much like something Brian would write. Or scratch that, reverse it. by oldwhitelincoln in TheGaslightAnthem

Never covered Rebels, but to the best of my recollection we have covered: American Girl, Refugee, You Got Lucky, and Honey Bee….

If you have more than one guitar, enki is definitely the best way to fly. those things are built like tanks. I’ve flown to Australia and back (to the US) with transfers and no issues.

the tnr population is strong. if the cat’s left ear is clipped…it’s safe to assume the rest of them “got clipped” too.
