FRIDAY NIGHT RIFFS

so it’s down to me.
This is what the third stringer must feel like when his number is called.
Time to stop riding the pines and start riding the maple.
Get it! See what I did there? Because sports uses one wood and I turned it around because guitars use the other wood. I feel I’m over explaining it and I can’t stop because now I feel like I’m explaining the explanation… ahhhhhh forget it! I’ll pick out a stick and see if I can get something brewing.

I forced my sick, achy, crabby old self out to the garage and made up a riff for today.
I made it into work for about 3 hours then they sent me home.... I'll try again tomorrow.

More than I have done ..
And we had rain again this morning.
Which means the concrete I have been waiting to get poured is still not going to happen .. :-(
 
I figure I’ll post this here.
I went to put a riff together today.
So I hurried home and my grandson was there. So I asked him if he wanted to practice guitar and he uncharacteristically said no. I found that a little odd but I didn’t push the matter.
After he left, I turned everything on and BOOOOOOOM!!!! I hit a G power chord and my eardrums exploded, my heart stop, eyeballs sucked into my head and my butthole puckered! The cats looked like they lost 2 of their 9 lives and my wife used some colorful language.

Apparently, my grandson decided to start turning every knob on my amp and pedals like it was a launch at NASA.
Yes the master volume was dimed.

It was one of those rare moments where I was pissed, confused, excited and impressed.

Once my adrenaline comes back down and my heart starts beating normally again. I’ll reset everything. Right now I’m pretty sure the local bomb squad is in route to investigate the explosion.

I was starting to sense a “Back to The Future” Marty moment in Doc’s workshop.
 
My grandson and I were playing quite loud one night, and a neighbor got in between the sound waves for about 10 minutes or so and (we were on opposite sides of the garage) and he got a sound pressure headache, and had to go an get some air !!
@LiveeviL2000 I am sure that rattled a few things…

Yeah, most of my major organs
Can you imagine if I hit something in the high 15th fret region?o_O
 
Back when I had my full stack, Marshall JCM900 sitting atop two Carvin 412Bs, if you hit an open chord and reached up to turn the volume up, once you hit about 8 your eyeballs would start to vibrate so bad you couldn't see where 9 and 10 were on the knob. :rolf:

It was glorious!
 
While way not the same as you guys with your gazillion gigawatt amps….. I have had the stereo in my car cranked high enough I’ve actually felt the seat belt vibrate…… that counts for something……. Right?
