I know y'all have done this before. I tried to run a search to find the thread that had Spudman's roof shot, and got nowhere. So anyway, it's been awhile since we got all the kids together for a family photo. Here ya' go.

Wow, look at all those nice guitars and the two taking front and center:
I didn't realize you had three amps - I know about the cube and the Behringer Acoustic (don't remember model#), but what's the third?
Those two latest additions to the guitar collection are real beauties.

There doesn't seem to be enough letters & digits to specify a guitar. It could just as easily be a cleaning product.

Hey Strum, sorry I missed your question first time around. The other amp was the first one I bought when I got my OE30, based on the recommendation of Wingsdad. It's a Behringer GMX110. Sweet little solid state amp with 30 watts and a buttload of effects.Originally Posted by just strum

I commented about that amp in another thread this weekend. It looks to be an impressive amp and zZound has them for $120 (B Stock). I didn't realize you had that amp. Hell, you're set - well, until you sell and then buy more guitars and amps and...Originally Posted by luvmyshiner

Strum, it's a sweet amp for someone like me who just wants to noodle around with different sounds to learn. I don't remember exactly what I paid for it, but I think it was about twice that. The cool thing is that it comes with a pedal that allows you to switch over to the effects. That's why Wingsdad recommended it and that's what sold me on it.Originally Posted by just strum

Thanks y'all. We do enjoy them. I think I'm getting ready to thin the heard a little bit though. There's a few other ones out there I've got my eye on, and we need to get rid of a few that we don't play to make room.

That is great. I have utmost respect for your efforts. I am not at the place where I can write yet, other than in the crude limerick sense.

on a weird side note on this subject... for years, i would write not just poetry but what came to be known to my 'Inner Circle' as 'kimmie stories.' they were quite popular in law school, helped keep us all sane. and what was funny, is that a lot of times, the story reminded me of a song, past or present, and i would start the story with the lyrics of the song that the story evoked. if i could do that in another sense... i'd be there, i think.

Good lookin' family shot! Tell me 'bout the 'lectrics. Is the black on in the corner a Guild? Can't quite make it out. And the Tele, a Fender MIM?
Since I asked questions I'll also give some answers, even though they were questions asked of Spud, the ones regarding writing. It seems everyone has a different methodology to how they write. A large batch of people start with a musical riff, or a beat or rhythm, and see what that evokes lyrically. A large number of working bands, particularly ones that have a lead singer who doesn't play an instrument, will make up a whole song instrumentally, based on this sort-of "jamming" method, and then expect the vocalist to come up
with lyrics for it. But the method can work for a solo-type person too, just play some random chords, find a progression you like, and see what kind of mood it evokes. It may be that some lyrics/poetry you've already written will "fit," or you may need to start from scratch.
All that said, that's not how I write. I can do it if in a collaborative sitch, but that's not my default methodology. I tend to write songs "internally," all of a piece. In other words, typically I don't write with an instrument. I write the words with a specific melody in mind, and (if no one's around) will actually sing the lines a capella as I write. But this can be done entirely "in your head" as well. I've written entire songs, for example, while mowing my lawn.
After I have the melody and lyrics written (again, I do this all at the same time, jotting down or memorizing the lyrics as I go), then I pick up a guitar and figure out the chord progression of the song. One advantage of writing based on the singing side rather than the instrumental side is, you'll never write a song in a key you can't sing it in, or one with notes outside your vocal range. For "singers" (and believe me, I use the term loosely) such as myself with an extremely limited vocal range, this method of writing is a godsend.
Good luck with your writing!
