I would like to welcome you all to come gather round the campfire with us for the Friday Night Guitar Thread. We encourage everybody to pick up an instrument and share your musical talents. Be it impressive or ordinary. Be entertaining. All skill levels are welcome. Music is for sharing!

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Upgoat.net go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @TheRealBuddha or myself)

If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.

By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

Hello everybody. My buddy Chris came over this week Monday and Tuesday to jam out some music after being up north in a cabin for three weeks after quitting his job.

Well on Monday, all the talk on upgoat here was about @peckerwoodperry and his unfortunate accident and subsequent arrest.

Due to that being on my mind I suggested to Chris that we learn this song

After we were jamming a couple hours my phone rang and it was this drummer guy wanting to know if he could play with, why the fuck not?

I'm just getting in. I had a medical appointment that was late in the day and a long ways away.

Well I hope you are in good health medically, and this is some damned good Texas blues jamming right there man!

They're concerned about my heart and have finally decided to send me to a specialist.

I have no idea what to expect but they think just taking some meds will get me squared away.

I'm willing to hear 'em out and see what they have to say.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 4 points 10 monthsJun 14, 2024 21:24:31 ago (+4/-0)

Is there some anomaly they are concerned about?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 10 monthsJun 15, 2024 19:26:43 ago (+1/-0)

Just my tachycardia and how it responds. My blood pressure drops while my BPM increases sometimes. My BPM is in the 140 range sometimes. So, yeah, they're a bit concerned.

I came home and fell asleep. LOL I made it up the stairs and it was mid-morning when I woke up. I don't even remember going to sleep.

Thats when you stand up and get dizzy like you had described to me before?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 10 monthsJun 15, 2024 21:51:48 ago (+1/-0)

The two issues are probably related. That's why I'll be seeing an expert.

My blood pressure drops - even though the beats per minute increase.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 10 monthsJun 16, 2024 00:06:56 ago (+1/-0)

Well I hope they can figure it out and fix it.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 10 monthsJun 16, 2024 13:25:54 ago (+1/-0)

We'll have to wait and see.

What the fuck?

I was driving along on a residential street coming up on a 4 way stop, there's a car behind me, a car stopping across from me, and a car coming up to the intersection to my left. No big deal, I am downshifted into first gear and hitting the brakes. I pull in the clutch and give it more brakes to stop. when all of a sudden the bike is sliding sideways somehow,

what the fuck?

Its slipping out from underneath me. I put my feet down to catch it, and my fucking feet are sliding along with the bike and there is no grip, what the fuck, its slippery as wet ice all of a sudden, and next thing I know, the bike i layin on its side and so am I.

What the fuck?

I get up onto my feet and shut off the bike and go to pick it up and I notice the whole fucking area of the street there I am on is completely covered with fucking dirty oil and is slippery as can be.

I never noticed that coming up to the corner cause I was paying attention to the cars making sure they are going to stop and watching for danger from them. I should have been watching for the danger of the fucking oil.

Then I was pissed.

Then the guy who was behind be pulled up along side of me and asked me if I was ok. I told him, fucking oil, it all slipped out from under me, and he says I know, I saw that, are you allright?

And I was ok, and my bike stared up and got me home, I'm going to look at it in the morning in the daylight, but it looks like the back blinker thing got scratched, the mirror on the left handlebar got loosened but I was able to get that back in place. It's probably scratched too. And my footpeg is all bent. And there is something squeaking that wasn't squeaking before.

Damn it.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 10 monthsJun 16, 2024 13:27:55 ago (+1/-0)

I'm glad you're okay. Bikes are inherently dangerous when compared with cars. Hopefully, the damage is minimal and you can get up and going again.

Hmm... First a tree and now oil. LOL Someone's trying to kill you! (Probably not...)

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 10 monthsJun 16, 2024 15:04:26 ago (+1/-0)

Thanks. I hope you're OK.

That really freaked me out when i put my feet down and they slipped right along with the bike

My left side is kind of sore today

Guitars are gay. If pianos and guitars were locked in a jail cell and one of them was forced to be a women it then guitars would be pregnant.

No fucking way

I dunno...

Picture Elton John vs Slash...

Nah man, guitars rock. I'm a hardcore keyboardist (pro-grade) who's been playing since I was 3-years-old and I love guitar.

We also played this here song that I truly and honestly never in my life thought I would ever play, but here I did, what the hell

SHeeeeeeeiiiiittt!
Now when I see your moniker I'll get a visual of that travolta faggot with his hand up in the air and his other one on his hip, like a faggot. LOL

Oh no!

I'd love to, but you have a ton of hoops to jump through just to listen!

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 10 monthsJun 15, 2024 02:37:24 ago (+1/-0)

there are hoops to jump through to listen?

i thought you could just hit the play button and it plays
