I am always optimistic kind of person. Let's see. I would say now you have completely expanded your dating opportunities by many thousands and the circle of friendship now wide open.

San Francisco

I have refrigerator magnets from most of those sities too.

Tonight I was collecting pics of the fireworks downtown ... too bad all I had was my phone:

I have the same collection. Most were purchased before Starbuck's was everywhere. We are getting ready to move, I was thinking about letting them go....

Quiettiger (was just going to call you QT but that sounded all wrong), you have become the new Mock, man. You're everywhere! You're right, though. I try to be optimistic as well but the mind is no match for pure emotion sometimes. On a side note, i have every intention of making her mine again when i get back home. Until then: Australia, Hawaii, Japan in no particular order.

What kind of guitars do you own?

I have a Japanese Strat I'm trting to sell on Craigslist right now.

I have a 7 string solid body ESP...with EMG pickups that I love, and Ibanez 540r (which is basically the Satriani model), A Legend cut away Black Ovation, and a couple of Mandolins.

Strat's are nice. I have never owned one, but I have played many of them.

I like Branch a lot, especially her voice...and I agree, she is very attractive. I'm not so big on The Wreckers stuff, but I think very highly of her solo work and feel her tracks recorded w/ Santana are brilliant. My fascination with KT Tunstall has overtaken her a bit these days, but that doesn't diminish my admiration of Branch one iota.

A Japanese Strat? Geeze, even I have an American one....albeit a "Wayne Stock '93" edition. I didn't care for the price I got it new for and the cheesy Wayne's World decal came right off with no residew..so WTF.

AH well, at least you're trying to sell it and you didn't waste time in getting a Mexican one.

So you're a Va native?

If the place wouldn't have been so damn hot and muggy and a breeding ground for mosquitos, I probable would have stayed there longer. Everyone kept trying to tell me "you'll get used to it", but after 13yrs I gave up trying.
I go back to visit old friends and do a bit of fishing about every 2nd year and do love all the trees.

Yes...born in Portsmouth..I have lived in Portsmouth, Norfolk, Richmond, Blacksburg, Vienna/Oakton, Mechanicsville, Glen allen, Midlothian, and Fork Union Virginia.

I love the lack of humidity out here. I don't really see a situation where I would leave Colorado. The outdoor experience is abput effing awesome

That's rockin' dude. I rock the ESP's too! I'm looking into getting one of the seven string Stephen Carpenter signature models. He's working on getting an eight string model which would just be sick. Drop that all the way back to E.

Insane.

I have a mandolin too man. Let's start a band.

...Which would be the 8th string? And extra low or high string..my guess is it would be a low G

Requiem · 07-05-2007, 04:04 PM

From what I read he said it'd be a low E. Which seems really odd.

Well..if he did it as it's "supposed" to be...it would be a G...but the low E gives you a doubled up/octive sound. I actually do this with my 7 string from time to time, but in that case it would be an additional low A string. Does that make sense to you? Either way it's really more for Jazz playing than anything from my experience.

That would be a full octave down in just two strings ....

I just can't wrap my mind around extra strings. I get around on SIX pretty damn well, and I've used numerous different tunings, at least on acoustic (I used to play at Borders Books in Santa Monica, Brentwood and Beverly Center) ... but a seventh string hurts my brain to even think about. If you want that throaty "Iron Man" sound, just tune down like Iommi or Van Halen. What's so hard about that?

At least that doesn't hurt my head ...
