Welcome to the Friday Night Guitar Thread. Shut up and play is a song. Any instrument. Any Skill level.

Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link.. If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to. 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.

I've been wanting to do this forever but after years of not being able to register here it finally worked. I'm unsure of what to post as a guitar introduction, my shit's pretty weird and mostly acoustic. People seem to like the fretless since that's pretty rare, here's an old one that's mostly fretless. And yes, I still wear that shirt everyday.

Interesting, are you playing with a theramin in that?

[ - ] mahavishnunj 2 points 2 monthsFeb 2, 2025 11:18:07 ago (+2/-0)

That's the fretless. It's extremely versatile, and a fantastic noise maker.

cool

Hey fellers. I learned this from YT. Chose different parts from 2 or 3 videos and also changed some so I could play it.
Going to California Led Zeppelin guitar only. I also sang on another track. It's easy on the hands.

Cool. I like that you put the chords and all that in the picture. That does look to be easy on the hands.

[ - ] ChatGPT 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:29:36 ago (+3/-0)

I didn't do that. I did an image search. Typed in Going to Ca lyrics. I used one of the results. It's easy on the hands cos there's no bar chords. It's open tuning. You gotta drop the two E's to D. I'm figuring out if you use open tuning songs you don't have to bar anything.That bar shit on acoustic is a pain in the gazoo.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:41:13 ago (+2/-0)

Playing the barre chords has never bothered me. I can play them or the open chords with equal comfort and ease. my buddy I jam with always complains about when a song has him play the barre chords

[ - ] ChatGPT 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:50:06 ago (+3/-0)

Banging occasionally on Bar chords is easy but planting a bar on a finger picking song like classical is hard on the hands. My bar finger gets sore.

Lay Lady Lay by Dylan used a shit load of bars in the Key of A. I can't play that all the way through. My hand runs outta gas. I ain't about to start bar chord strengthening exercises if there is such a thing.

I uploaded that one before on Poal or Voat. Can't remember.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:59:45 ago (+2/-0)

It does take practice to be able to get every note to come through clearly on the barre chords especially if you're trying to do fingerpicking. I don't play that way so maybe thats why its easy for me LoL

[ - ] Freespeechplease 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 22:31:24 ago (+3/-0)

It's ai generated. But I think it's cool.https://files.catbox.moe/09j8p7.mp4

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 22:40:20 ago (+2/-0)

it does sound cool, but fuck ai

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 22:59:51 ago (+4/-0)

AI can be pretty helpful.

Can be...

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:27:57 ago (+3/-0)

AI is a liar, I do not use it. I go out of my way to avoid it if I have to. My son though, he likes it, he likes to talk to the AI Trump on YouTube that answers your questions. He thinks it funny. I think AI as it is now is mostly plagiarism and lies. Even my son tells me that all the AI lies to him when he asks it questions and he confronts it and it says yeah i lied, and then does it again.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 14:09:23 ago (+1/-0)

They're mostly just NN and LLM. They feed 'em data and the machine learns from that.

It's quite useful for all sorts of things. Like, say you had to write an article and you wanted to check it for spelling and grammar errors. It does shit like that and you can even tell it to format the output so that it's more easily read and understood.

I'd expect an AI Trump to lie. I expect the real Trump to lie.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:37:02 ago (+4/-0)

I have an old acoustic guitar that if I played I’d probably sound something like Kurt Cobain.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:50:52 ago (+3/-0)

Well then, Play something for us damnit!

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:35:59 ago (+4/-0)

Last night my drummer buddy J stopped over with a half hour to kill before he had to pick up his woman from work so we made some noise

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:38:02 ago (+4/-0)

Not bad!

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:59:16 ago (+3/-0)

Thanks! It was fun while it lasted!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 20:14:10 ago (+4/-0)

You have a typo in the headline. LOL Oops! It won't be the first (or last) time.

How about this:

Candlebox - Far Behind (B #1; TB P & B)

There's one from the archives.

We should have some new material soon. Be patient. You'll see. Well, you'll see AND hear.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 20:43:52 ago (+3/-0)

Damn it, that happens every time I try to type the word us for some reason!

I don't know why but that one sounded a little less polished than your others

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:08:55 ago (+4/-0)

I think this one was more or less done on a whim, but don't quote me on that. It's a pretty old track so who knows what the hell we were doing. It quite possibly involved wine... Or maybe rum... I'm not sure.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 00:39:19 ago (+3/-0)

I like Rum when it is mixed with Coke

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 2 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 14:13:30 ago (+2/-0)

I like it with Coke or just plain on the rocks. Fruity rum drinks are also pretty good.

Also, I keep forgetting to mention that I told 'em to go ahead and order the groomer.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 18:22:23 ago (+1/-0)

You got the big fancy groomer didn't you?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 2 monthsFeb 3, 2025 17:17:24 ago (+1/-0)

LOL Yes... Yes, I did.

Yes, yes I am going to drive it. It's not like they're going to stop me from driving it.

Also... So, that Trump fella is giving the US Treasury even more power...

https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/02/03/1855255/trump-orders-creation-of-us-sovereign-wealth-fund-says-it-could-buy-tiktok?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed

I giggled a little. Pretty much everyone that voted and uses this site voted for 'em. They really are stupid.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 2 monthsFeb 3, 2025 18:17:06 ago (+1/-0)

I saw the other day that one of the high ranking members of the treasury approved payment for every invoice that ever crossed his desk, for any amount. Apparently they never rejected a single invoice from anybody, the democrats apparently knew about this and would just send him an invoice when ever they needed more money. I would say that is quite a bit of power.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 2 monthsFeb 3, 2025 18:49:40 ago (+1/-0)

LOL If the Dems did that then the Reps certainly also did it. That sort of thing isn't just one side of the political aisle - if it's true. I can't find a reputable news site talking about it and the crackpot sites shared here are seldom telling the truth.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 2 monthsFeb 3, 2025 18:54:31 ago (+1/-0)

I have no doubt that they all do it. They really are two wings of the same bird and play division for the people.

Elon Must announced about it on x

[ - ] ChatGPT 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:36:32 ago (+2/-0)

That's real cool man. I bet this is a crowd pleaser.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 1 point 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 14:10:09 ago (+1/-0)

It's definitely one for the folks who are now in the middle age group. Even younger people will know the song.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 20:02:15 ago (+3/-0)

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 4 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 20:14:29 ago (+4/-0)

Everyone can play a kazoo!

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 20:44:48 ago (+3/-0)

I would certainly hope so!

How do you play a kazoo anyways?

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 21:09:44 ago (+3/-0)

All you gotta do is hum.

And, yes, yes they do make professional kazoos.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 3 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 00:40:09 ago (+3/-0)

I just have to believe that is nothing more than a marketing gimmick, probably the ones that aren't plastic are the professional ones lol

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 3 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 14:11:51 ago (+3/-0)

You can buy a cheap one and hum until it breaks. If you keep it from getting wet it should work for a while.

I don't know what the professional ones use for reeds. I just know that they have professional level kazoos. I've seen 'em in the music stores. I have never used a professional kazoo.

I should buy one to play with.

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 05:20:04 ago (+2/-0)

My kazoo is out of tune.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 2 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 14:12:25 ago (+2/-0)

Well, I suppose that means you're humming out of tune.

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 2 monthsFeb 1, 2025 16:12:25 ago (+2/-0)

That seems outrageously unlikely. My humming is superb!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 2 points 2 monthsFeb 3, 2025 17:15:33 ago (+2/-0)

LOL Well, then, your kazoo is also in tune.

Or you broke it... That's an option.

[ - ] ChatGPT 3 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:35:21 ago (+3/-0)

Didn't know there was a kazoo day. I learned something. Their motto should be: Can yoo kazoo? I think all the Chinese bailed. I don't hear any cool firecrackers.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:38:43 ago (+2/-0)

I did not know either until my friend told me about it, it's actually 'officially' the 4th Tuesday in January or when ever is convenient, according to the national kazoo federation, so we went with the 'when ever is convenient'

[ - ] ChatGPT 2 points 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:44:17 ago (+2/-0)

Trump should get rid of Juneteenth and replace it with National Kazoo Day. I'm sure niggers wouldn't mind.

[ - ] Sleazy [op] 1 point 2 monthsJan 31, 2025 23:46:53 ago (+1/-0)

I thought he already got rid of juneteenth and the black history month and the pride month and a bunch of other shit
