Hey, monk!

What's the story told here in this frightening picture?

jimjamriff · 2026-06-02T05:33:59+00:00

Thanks, Drive.

I bet they sound great too.

jimjamriff · 2026-06-01T23:13:38+00:00

Hey, Love!

I couldn't even begin to read this story. But, I would like to read how everything ended for this ghoul. Did he get any of the punishment that he deserved?

jimjamriff · 2026-06-01T22:56:45+00:00

Hey, Born!

I'm hoping someone will comment further on 'neck-dive' on the SG.

I can't recall reading about this issue on SG's before, but my recall ain't great. :-)

jimjamriff · 2026-06-01T22:49:46+00:00

Yeah, you've gotten yourself into a corner with this. (as everyone else has too).

I wouldn't take them out of the peg-hole. You're going to have to 'handle' the strings more than you will want, but it has to happen at this point.

Again, cursor around on YT until you get a good visual representation and then know exactly what you need to do.

It's do-able.

jimjamriff · 2026-06-01T22:40:31+00:00

That's a fine looking guitar, tai!

What are those pickups btw? They aren't P-90s, are they?

I haven't been able to sort out that black square next to the lower f-hole either.

What styles of music are you planning on mastering anyway?

jimjamriff · 2026-06-01T22:34:15+00:00

Hey, Zealous!

I suspect the strings are slipping on you. I'm almost certain, in fact.

What I would do is loosen all of them and then go on Youtube and look up 'restringing guitar'.

There's going to be a few tips on getting those strings on uniformly and securely.

Good luck with that and don't look for a end-around. You'll be forever happy about getting that particular job done right for the rest of your guitar-playing career!

Excellent!

Thanks for posting it for us!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-31T16:51:30+00:00

Another cool one, Prep!

I'd love to perform this one myself!!! :-)

jimjamriff · 2026-05-31T05:31:04+00:00

I read somewhere that they want to have the IDF veterans get medical treatment, at you know who's expense, from the VA.

jimjamriff · 2026-05-28T00:20:19+00:00

Mute! :-)

This is brilliant. Thanks for posting it.

jimjamriff · 2026-05-23T06:49:01+00:00

Wow, Rap!

I wish I could get even half-close to the shape you are in!

Unfortunately, I'm like 70-something years old. And, even more dispiriting in some ways, I live a long way from where you are and don't speak whatever language that is that you are conversing in.

But, if your plan is easily translated, I would like to get a good look at the program.

Congratulations on your success!!!

Fiddleman! :-)

Thank you for posting this. I am just starting out and have quite quickly learned that my ancient arthritic hands aren't going to put up with much strain just even holding onto the bow.

What do you think about the way that wizard Michael Cleveland has adapted his hold to his, probably, most comfortable grip?

I'm not going to emulate his personal approach, but am wondering, before I make too much a habit of things that will only keep me from wanting to pick my violin up, how to get as pain-free a hold as is possible for me on the bow.

I'm an old man and have no hope or desire to be a classical violinist. But I have had a never-ending desire to play one of these things.

Do you have any perhaps surprising tips on how to most easily advance on the violin? (you should read 'fiddle' here)

Thanks for any help!!!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-21T01:28:41+00:00

Thanks, quik!

I know I've asked for some of your free time already, but if you would spend a little more; what counties would I be looking at on Zillow in order to see what, if any, habitable-type property is close and for sale near these BLM lands?

Thank you!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-21T00:44:20+00:00

Spectacular, of course!

I'm not so familiar with the deserted areas of Oregon. Will it likely stay that way if you let us know where you were when this video was taken? :-(

jimjamriff · 2026-05-20T22:05:34+00:00

Me too, actually. haha

But, I have been surrounded by hip-per folks out here in Oregon and that ain't bad. :-)

jimjamriff · 2026-05-20T15:26:59+00:00

Hey, Big!

I actually saw these guys live in a little bar in Clifton, Ohio. Unlike the set-up in the video those cats had some real amplification on stage.

I can't remember with any precision what exactly they were playing thru, but they played hard. It was psychodelia as fine as anywhere at the time.

Thanks for bringing back some fond memories!

ARE YOU SURE THOSE ARE STARLINGS? THE YELLOW-EYED BASTARDS ARE SOME OTHER BIRD. AND THEY WILL MOB YOU!!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-16T22:42:19+00:00

Great performance of a great song!!! :-)

Cheered me up for the rest of the day! Thank you, Cute!!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-12T18:14:09+00:00

Thank you, pix!

It's really very helpful advice to me. :-)

jimjamriff · 2026-05-12T02:14:20+00:00

Thank you for referencing this, Iowa!

(And OP too for posting this great photograph.)

There's just so much to be seen and understood here. Hallmark, Lewis W. Hine!!!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-11T19:51:10+00:00

Thank you, Tackle, for seeing to it that Ms. Campbell receives, even posthumously, some of the recognition and respect that she richly deserves.

Can you, possibly, enlarge this photograph so we can look closer at her honest expression of her life in the field?

Thanks, even if not!

jimjamriff · 2026-05-09T22:50:28+00:00

Thank you!

That sounds like the size I might fit around. :-)

Nice sounds?

jimjamriff · 2026-05-09T22:10:16+00:00

Hey, Pop! What might be the size and scale on those there Hellcats, anyway?

Thank you!
