Biggest Lesson I've Learned in Guitar Playing...

You know it's really interesting to me how we all have such diverse tastes. What one loves and raves about another doesn't like and dismisses.

I have no love for the Mesa line. I tried one and never gelled with it. The same with my VOX AC15C1. Most people love that amp and I couldn't wait to get rid of mine...

You are not a lone! I returned mine and kept my Monoprice 15 watt amp over the ridiculously priced vox. I had to bring it up to a professional level, I don't know if I could ever do that with the Vox. A big Vox mess up is the AC 10 with the wrong speaker size.
 
Sometimes folks argue for what they say is "better", when it is really their preference.
Good point to point out the difference.

My playing makes doves cry.
Wait, that sounds familiar.......
(I am a pause dots fella too)

I got a Boogie fever!
The only prescription is Mesa..... and MORE COWBELL.

We Americans have to have the biggest, the best, the tallest or the greatest lesson or holiday. That event that tops it all off. When you tell someone their eyes get big and many will that your story and make it theirs. They may have mine if it ever comes back to me. It can't be very great if I can't say on it, maybe it never happened yet. It doesn't matter, few life changing things happen. Hold on to a thought, a taste, a kiss from when things mattered most. This event might happen today during a rain storm and it all will come flying back together like so long ago. Chase it if you want, I will chase my big lesson or wave of OH SHXT. I wish I could just hold on once.
 
Big revelation for me was how much faster I played - and with more accuracy and fluidity - on a 24.75" scale guitar with 1st fret neck thickness at around 1 inch. Others ask to try the double neck and complain that its too big and heavy, but it feels normal, albeit familiar to me...and other than less mass and weight, the Gibson S-G feels identical.

I spent years playing a guitar that always felt foreign to me....

Very poetic. Lately, I have come to believe that every moment is special, and do my best to honor it accordingly

Our view and measure of levels of perfection and seeing beauty is equal to how much intereet and care we have in it. Of the the amount of education and internal beings. The western mind we all have servers us well in our own back yard . Elsewhere we might just walk past the wonderful and close our eyes and ears. Eastern and middle eastern just is too far from what our views are.

I see your point all too well. Now the electric cow bell has moved into the forefront. I have some questions, how the hell do people keep track of the cows? We are looking at a tarnish problem world wide. All that brass just sitting on a barn gate. Sorry about the chill I just sent across this forum. I know you could have guessed that I'm not an alloy guy.
 
Our band has a new set list and to make it more interesting Linda wanted to sing with us last night at the gig that changed everything it was like a ghost town 5-10 people per set 50 at the end of the night. As few people they were throwing $100.00 dollar bills at all of us Linda said I got $500.00 I said keep it Joe our bass player said I have $500.00 also Doug our drummer said I got $800.00
I picked up $1000.00 off my peddle board. Guitars used 1962 Fender Esquire open G 1956 Fender Strat. Parker Fly Deluxe and a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard RO 1960
The Gibson let me down would not stay in tune it was raining humid the old Fenders stayed in perfect tune so did the Parker.
