4. The guy who didn’t offer to be your moral leader didn’t offer any moral leadership, just law and order, applied equally. His critics cleverly and predictably framed it as being soft on Nazis.

We can rule that one out. If the law were applied equally then Jeff Sessions would have been sacked & prosecuted for lying under oath in his confirmation hearing. Jr would be under indictment for criminal conspiracy.

Here's your law & order candidate on the campaign trail, just in case your memory is getting really convenient-

3. A mentally unstable racist clown with conman skills (mostly just lying) eviscerated the Republican primary field and won the presidency. He keeps doing crazy, impulsive racist stuff. But for some reason, the economy is going well, jobs are looking good, North Korea blinked, ISIS is on the ropes, and the Supreme Court got a qualified judge. It was mostly luck.

It's been mostly luck so far but he still has 3-1/2 years to impress his "vision" on America.

nice, what do you play? what are your influences, etc, etc, etc...
Click to expand...

I listen(and mostly enjoy) pretty much any music, except gangsta rap and corporate country. For whatever reason, I'm not really into this stuff. I listen to older rap music from 80's and 90's, and some 2000's. Corporate country has always kinda annoyed me, but I like Elvis, Johnny Cash, even Grand ole Opry

I had been wanting to learn guitar for about 5 years, and picked it up finally after discovering Radio 1's Live Lounge covers. Ton's of pop music covers. Songs I would probably not hear, as I don't listen to FM pretty much ever now.

So my influences vary greatly. From Yonder Mountain String Band(my favorite folk/string band), to power ballads, 90's grunge, or pop music. If it catches my ear, I try to play it.

I am learning by brute force practice, youtube, and the ultimate-guitar app. I find a song I want to play and hammer on it until I've almost gotten it down, and move to another.

Just a couple examples of what I've been hammering on this week:

Foo Fighters - Best of You
The Scorpions - Wind of change
Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know
Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

edit: Also, James Keelaghan - Cold Missouri Waters - This one I can play the chords, but can't play it like Mr. Keelaghan....yet 😛 Love this song though, I stumbled on to it about 10 years ago, and I don't remember how. The story behind the song is incredible.

Last month was mostly The Eagles - Hotel California and O.A.R. - Peace, played them until I know the chord patterns and words.

With the app, if the song I pick is too difficult, I leave it on my favorites list and come back to it eventually.

The kiddo's have a 3/4 electric, because now they want to do it also....so it's been good for the family as well.

You play? If so, influences / suggestions? I find myself in the OT music thread on a regular basis.

You seem to forget that if laws were applied equally that Hitlary would be in prison along with most of Obama's cabinet. Face it, laws aren't applied equally anywhere in the world, including here.

I thought the topic of this post was the antifa fascists being violent left-wing scum and the assholes that defend and support them are also left-wing fuckholes.

Which has nothing to do with Hitlary, but you already knew that. It has everything to do with the usual "They're just as bad! They're the real racists!" routine from the OP & from our feckless leader whom Boomerang defends so valiantly.

The only real difference between the antifa and the neo-nazis are the color of their armbands.

SIMON: Let - let's get to the Supreme Court now. Judge Neil Gorsuch of Colorado, as we mentioned, has been nominated. Columbia, Harvard Law, Oxford, Supreme Court clerk, appellate judge - is he qualified, and does that matter politically?

CARTER: There's no question that he's - he is qualified. And in any other year with any other president, I would actually expect a fairly easy confirmation, even though he's a very conservative Republican, but this is a very unusual political time. ................."

ABA rates Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch “Well Qualified”
The ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary submitted a detailed written statement for the record of Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Neil M. Gorsuch and testified before the Senate committee March 23 to explain the basis for awarding the nominee its highest rating of “Well Qualified.” "

Well, that and the fact one side explicitly supports an ideology and a movement that murdered millions and the other doesn't. Oh, and that one side have continued to kill people in the US in siginficant numbers over recent decades and the other hasn't. But, yes, the armbands are different as well, well done for noticing that at least.

They both use violence to intimidate opposition, they're both fascist.

And right back to the "They're just as bad!" routine, which is obvious bullshit. Nobody in America is as bad as the Klan & the Nazis.

When the fascist wannabees crawled out from under their rocks to scream their love of Trump, Antifa rose to oppose them, as has most of America. It's not like 40K anti-protesters in Boston were all Antifa.

And the apologist for a fascist organization speaks up again to defend political violence.

Well since this thread was started out of stupidity and spite, fuck it.

There are some really good youtube video teachers out there, my favorite is Justin Guitar
https://www.youtube.com/user/JustinSandercoe

And then it's a very close 2nd with Marty Schwartz
https://www.youtube.com/user/martyzsongs, re

There are literally hundreds of lessons out there, and span the spectrum of quality as well. My biggest influence, hands down is Keith Richards. I'd like to say it was Hendrix or SRV or Steve Howe or Jeff Beck, but it's truthfully Keef, and I have no shame in that, he's a walking riff machine who can still rip out some tasty blues licks even now with those gnarled up things he calls hands. (let alone what he's done to his brain)
And then there's Joe Strummer. Clearly I lean away from the lead guitarist type, however, I still try songs by Hendrix and SRV, even dabble with some Jeff Beck, but his stuff is more challenging than others, for me anyway.
I always liked bluegrass and really wanted to learn how to play it but don't have the patience to put in the effort to learn the fingerpicking patterns.

Just for grins, listen to the opening riff of this song, and tell me it's not one of the best guitar intro's.

Gary Clark Jr is a pretty damn good player and I think would qualify as a new kid, as well as Matthew Curry (southpaw) and Reignwolf

My influences are early blues, like Howlin Wolf (Hubert Sumlin on guitar) or Bukka White, Leadbelly, etc. Modern influences would be Jack White, Dan Auerbach, Courtney Barnett (she's really, really good)
And of course, the four saints, John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Keep at it man, it's a great tool to de-stress with. I find myself playing more Clash songs with the current fucktard in the oval office, coincidence? I don't think so. Keep on rockin' man.
