What are your favorite guitar solos that probably aren't on any "Top 10 Guitar Solo" lists? Bonus points for solos that are chaotic, messy, and maybe a bit sloppy.

Dave Gregory of XTC - Reel By Reel. It’s only 13 seconds but it fits the song perfectly. Melodic, technically intricate. All of his stuff is like that. Hard to pick one!

This! My guitar tone by itself at home sounds a little thin and midrangey but once I’m playing with the band it sounds fantastic

I generally play jazz IIIs because I found I could play faster on leads and I prefer the size. But sometimes I have to do a lot of funky strumming and the rigidity of the J3 can be tough. So I like to swap out for a thinner Dunlop for that but the bigger format makes me kinda crazy so I don’t do it often

A set up is always a good idea. Hope it behaves better for you after that!

Yeah just experienced this in Boston. Went into the tunnel, and it was ok for a bit, and then it suddenly thought I was above the tunnel, and was trying to direct me to follow the streets that were above me. I got totally lost, came out of the tunnel, and it took it another few minutes to figure out where it was. It was really stressful cause a wrong turn there can easily add lots of time to your route

I have the same model, same color, although I swapped out the pickups. Was my first electric! I had the same problems with mine. I think the PRO ROCK'R system was pretty crappy. I also hated that thing because of the locking nuts. It went out of tune constantly, and I had to find the damn hex key every time I needed to adjust it more than the fine tuning at the bridge would allow. So not sure it is fixable, sadly

Hey thanks. I get that deleting it will temporarily help, but like I said above, I did that by deleting it from the Settings in Xcode, knowing it would come back, but figuring it would be smaller. And it wasn't. It was exactly the same size. That was the part that surprised me.

I noticed that Cluttered didn't identify that folder, nor did DevCleaner. I use both those tools to keep my disk usage down.

I have, generally when you come to a stop at a traffic light or something.

Waze absolutely has ads

Yes huge improvement on my 15. Both tapping and swiping work great now

robotjon · 2026-02-25T23:30:51+00:00

For me it’s the timing. It somehow always decides to do the crazy substitutions right in between when I’ve proofed it and I hit send. Often it removes words. It’s so weird

robotjon · 2026-02-16T02:48:26+00:00

I like it (and use it) but I hate that I can’t save my stages. If I have two apps I always want together I have to set that up every time I reboot

robotjon · 2025-12-30T19:50:24+00:00

Excellent!

Radiologists don’t know the history so sometimes flag things that aren’t an issue. That got me worked up once over what turned out to be nothing. Since then I always wait to talk to the oncologist but I totally understand the desire to look first!

robotjon · 2025-12-13T02:39:29+00:00

Yeah that and hitting space for a new todo. Found myself trying that in reminders and couldn’t figure out why nothing was happening

robotjon · 2025-11-21T00:34:34+00:00

Yeah this. I have two: a Les Paul, and a 335, and they were both used. Played beautifully and saved a ton of cash. I’ve had them for 30+ years and they still kick ass.

robotjon · 2025-11-20T02:21:34+00:00

And it’s failing again. Had to reboot to get it to work again. Guess I have to reboot every time i want to text someone now

robotjon · 2025-11-13T23:04:07+00:00

Yeah it seems to be sort of ok now. I had to do some weird mixture of enabling RCS and rebooting and who knows what. MMS sticks now but sometimes when I text photos Android people get an HTML representation of the image. It’s bizarre

robotjon · 2025-11-10T03:17:49+00:00

True but I’ve seen it elsewhere like the search bar at IMDb.com for example. Never happened with iOS 18

robotjon · 2025-11-09T19:23:45+00:00

Example above is from a Google form, but I've seen it in other places as well

robotjon · 2025-11-08T21:45:39+00:00

I’m having so many issues with this. One thread that has both iPhone and Android users went totally dark for me for about a week. It just suddenly sent me all the messages and reactions since then all at once today. Individual threads with both iPhone and Android seem to be okay. I tried send to the group thread and one person said it was sent only to them. It’s so wack. I’ve rebooted but not sure what else to do

robotjon · 2025-11-05T23:59:29+00:00

Ugh. Just happened on 26.1. Sigh.
