If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

TheMan , if you are intersted in expanding your chord knowledge -- and in my opinion, all guitarists and wannabe guitarists should learn rhythm playing and chording first, before they move onto the glory- and groupie-filled world of lead soloing wankerisms and stains * -- you cannot do better than ...

Strawkins , for your Sorella, I would recommend Duncan's, Johnny Smith neck mount (http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/custom-shop/specialized-1/jsmithneck_moun_1/) -- you don't want to cut into the arch top, as that would damage the integrity of the top, and fuck up the tonal qualities. As for h...

Ah, skewered is I. Yes, that picture shows me as being wrong. Thanks. Unless, of course, that was just one of those moments when he was giving the ol' cunnilingus to his guitar, rather than his usual Al Dente's to the strings. :dance: bhoytony , that Washburn looks really, really nice. Is that a mah...

bhoytony, what model of Martin do you have -- nevermind, I see: OM1. I love Martins. Well, I love all well made acoustics, but I think Martins are especially fine. JackSkeptic, I've been playing guitar, mostly professionally, for over 45 years now, and aside from the point of better technique, gener...

I have become a little obsessed.

Best way to be when it comes to playing a musical instrument.

bhoytony said: Do you never use your thumb on the lower strings? Rarely. I was shown the advantages of thumb behind the neck quite early on. However, as you say: It's hard to play a lot of fingerstyle country blues guitar without fingering some chords that way.... I agree with that for sure, and ye...

JackSkeptic said: (in the case of classical guitar, never put your thumb over the top of the neck as you see many electric guitarists do as this restricts hand movement, crucial when you get to higher levels..Jimi Hendrix never did this either) bhoytony said: A load of bollocks, Hendrix always play...

TheMan said (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=162986#p162986): Btw... Since early Jan this year I've been learning to play guitar. Even going to guitar school. Any tips for a beginner?

Ya, ya, ya, I'm gettin old; gimme a break.

For the most part, I like Ally Fogg. But his statement that Ronald McGabriel has written "an excellent blog" has me scratching my head. I mean, Ronald McGabriel is a terrible, terrible, writer, using mostly very questionable ideas and theories and concepts. And Fogg thinks it's excellent? /scritch s...

For anyone interested, the new Atheism Plus Blogs (http://atheismplus.com/blogs/) has finally got an actual post posted. It's title is Cultural Appropriation and How to Enjoy Other Cultures in 3 Easy Steps . As I am sure you will anticipate, correctly, the basic gist is that anytime white people, an...

Pitch, do you mean it Freezes the desktop (rather than actually crashing it)?

If so perhaps it's just taking a long time to open and overusing resources. Let it sit for several minutes, and see if it eventually opens.

Yes, they deserve the same rights and freedoms as anyo...

Fivers for teh win!

My impression was that Amy was being facetious with that one, using an obviously ridiculous example to point out how anything can be deemed offensive, even something as mild as the word stupid. That crossed my mind too, but you just cannot tell anymore. As many folks have mentioned, it's Poes all t...

Nose? Is that it?

L. Olivier used to insist that one of the best devices for acting makeup, a device that could transform the entire face without actually touching anything else, was to change the nose.

That Skepchick thread is a thing a chthonic beauty; a dark, yet hilarious, yet sad, yet perfect example of the pure insanity that is the SJL, Skepchick, A+, and FTB universe. The way they race each other to find the most victim points, and who is the most precious of the precious snowflakes; which i...

Jesus, damion's just getting worse as time goes by. What a maroon.

But Strawkins, you made it better than I did. I get all fudgey when I try to outline that kind of thing.

I should have added, the reason WhinyAmy can say such absurd nonsense is that she knows that anyone who disagrees, especially anyone who disagrees and can somehow show at least some vague proofs, will not be allowed to post. So, we therein have the kind of perfect false consensus that FTB and Skepch...

CryingAmy's comment, "we expect and even welcome vocal criticism from people who disagree with us. Itâ€™s one reason why we have a blog with a comment section" is a primo perfectus example of the kind of hilariously ridiculous hypocrisy and blatant deceit that goes on at Skepchick. Utter bollocks, A...

A couple of kooks over at Avi's blog are now actually, if obliquely, accusing the Pit, or someone at the Pit, of being responsible for the DDOS attacks on, presumably, FTB, Skepchick, and that third place that I've never heard of. 1. http://freethoughtblogs.com/amilliongods/2014/02/12/sorry-you-got-...

I continue to think that Avi's nuts. Hi latest long blog is, supposedly, about the so-called DDOS attack. Yet, it begins (and continues forever) with a long rant about how hard life is for Avi, and how awful the world is for not appreciating his hardships and for not liking FTB. In the extended rant...
