Hi There!

[EmilyR]

Hey all, Emily here - New to Guitar Tricks. Only been playing gat for 1 year.
Whats the go in this forum? All about guitar, or anything you feel like posting?
I've joined some other forums in the past, that have been full of assholes and smart asses. I'm hoping this isn't the same!

Keep me posted! Would love to chat music some time.

Thanks,

Emily

this website for the most part is about guitar and bass and acoustic and stuff.
i've never referred guitar as gat. kinda sounds cool. i'm gonna use that word
with or without your permission. anyway in guitar tricks you know everybody's
personality and stuff its like a little guitar playing community. you dont even
have to be a subscriber to be in the forums. I'm the most artistic and coolest
guy to ever play guitar and go to guitar tricks.

[bigbuda]

I always thought a gat was a pistol. Anyhow, welcome to GT!

You hear the word 'gat' a lot over here, I thought it was a pretty universal nickname for the guitar. I guess not.

Welcome to GT..

Watch out boys the girls are soon going to start taking over... :p

[Julian Vickers]

My favourite girl guitarist is easily Emily Remler, she's amazing! She's dead now though :(

[Lordathestrings]

Welcome to the GT forum! We have thousands of members, so your questions may well get hundreds of answers. Some of those will be right!

I wouldn't actually dare to call it just a 'pistol' :p

Welcome to the boards, say Hi someday ;)

[jiujitsu_jesus]

Welcome to the GT forum, hope you like it here. :)

[elklandercc]

Welcome, this is no Ultimate-Guitar forum, we respect each other here........ (unless you get into heated debates about religon or politics.)

[suicidalmoose]

if you wanna be real gangsta about it call a guitar a G-tar. yer this forum is by far the best forum i've eva used, ppl are actually pretty helpful and kind hearted here and so far i haven't experienced any flaming, even though there are sometimes disagreements and differences in opinion.

Welcome aboard Emily this forum is awesome we mods keep on top of things so the idiots usually go elsewhere.

[Andrew Sa]

hey Emily...I like it here...I guess we all like it here...I dont know why people dont like it here...its nice here...I love desk...I love lamp, I Love Lamp!

anyway, yeah, we are friendly folk...talk about what every you want in the open discussion forrum, every other one has a title telling you what to talk about...the mods get a tad annoyed if you post in the wrong place, but they normally just move your post and we all get on with it.


hope you also like it here...as Tonja said, soon the girls will take over these forums...I cant wait

[Akira]

[pure]

I bet Im one of the only people to get that.

here's where the hello-ing goes off topic. ill join. i never saw that post, but i get it.

[jeffhx]

i think i got it...how's that? :cool:

[rockonn91]

nah, what he meant was theres an entire "Hi" thread here in Open Discussion that bascially only me and him post in.

but that could change.

[aschleman]

You hear the word 'gat' a lot over here, I thought it was a pretty universal nickname for the guitar. I guess not.

I grew up decently close to the southside of Chicago... and even closer to the once revered "Murder Capital of the United States" Gary, Indiana... The only time I've ever heard the word "Gat" is in rap songs... and/or right before I heard ambulances and cop car sirens.... But it's pretty cool...


Welcome to the boards... I hang out in the Tech and Gear sections mostly... So if you need any help with any of that just holler.

[humbledan]

Hello to all!
New to this. . . I'm an old guy who used to play coffee houses in the 60's. Put my axe away for 40 years or so and just recently picked it up again. I don't believe I've ever been an asshole to anyone and I'm not planning on becoming one now.
After re-discovering the almost magical calming powers of the guitar (no matter how rusty I've become) its like having an old friend come home.
My passion is the blues. SRV has to be my favorite but also love Muddy, Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, and of course Robert Johnson.
Best wishes to all my fellow guitar addicts!
Dan

You guys have a place called Gary? hahah

why didn't Aschleman go to California?

because he was stuck in Gary....!

as usual, the answer is in white text

I'm actually from a rural town outside of the suburbs of Chicago... but I use to spend a lot of time up there. I've only been to Gary, IN maybe twice... both times were on accident too... we got lost... It's the birthplace of Michael Jackson... if that tells you anything at all about it......... It use to be called the Murder Capital of the US because it's murder rate per capita was higher than anywhere in the US... and it ranked in the top 10 in the world... So no, haha, I was not stuck in Gary, IN...... (which is also featured in the lyrics of a song in The Sound of Music)....... I was stuck in a far safer... more boring place called Rensselaer... until I moved to West Lafayette... Which are both much harder to pronounce than..... Gary.... in which I am NOT from!!!! hahaha.

Oh, yeah. Been there, done that. And went back for more.

I took a break for a few years when disco was polluting the airwaves and nobody was hiring live bands. When I started playing again, I felt a bit like Rip Van Winkle because all of my reference points were older than the guys I was jamming with. Go with it - its all good. :)

[ericthecableguy]

Welcome Dan.

hmm dont even remind me...gets real hot...welcome aboard nonetheless!! yes there are no smart asses here...only wannabe smart asses...like me...no that cant be right...

I was once joined there. I was horrified by the way they treat eachother there. Once apon a time i liked zakk wylde, and asked if the brewtality articles were anywhere on the web. The only reply I got was from member #6 of the atheists against God club (I know, a contridiction within itself) saying all you need for brewtality is a pair of fists and to listen to cannibal corpse as if it was the bible. Needless to say, I haven't stopped in since.

[rockonn91]

So no, haha, I was not stuck in Gary, IN...... (which is also featured in the lyrics of a song in The Sound of Music)
apparently it was actually from the Music Man.

[aschleman]

apparently it was actually from the Music Man.

Same thing... either way I don't care... haha. Last time I saw it I was in the second grade...

[Andrew Sa]

... It's the birthplace of Michael Jackson... if that tells you anything at all about it..........

Michael Jackson was also in Gary once...that just makes my homosexual joke (that no one seemed to find amusing...or to catch) even funnier.

[earthman buck]

I thought it was funny. Sort of. Vaaaaguely.

[Andrew Sa]

hey, shut up Canada Boy! it was very very very very very funny...!better watch out, or next time I tell it, Earthman will be stuck in Gary! so nah...


actually it all started because we have a town here called George! Gary and George should be near eachother, but they are not

[earthman buck]

actually it all started because we have a town here called George! Gary and George should be near eachother, but they are not
George should be some district of Gary. Then you could say George is in Gary.

[aschleman]

Though I was never stuck in Gary... I did one time get stuck in Laura on prom night...........................

There really is a small town close to my hometown named Laura........ and ironically my last girlfriends name was Laura...... I just now noticed that... which makes the joke that much more funny to me...

[Andrew Sa]

Laura, George, and Gary are actually all mates...they go way back

[mmcintosh]

Well, to keep from getting them confused:

The Music Man : Hilarious and excellent musical comedy.

The Sound of Music : Tedious and boring.

[CW14]

Welcome aboard Emily...

And nah this forum ain't full of ass hats like some I've been to.

[Andrew Sa]

ass hat...? I think we may call them chairs here...or maybe cushions...yeah, tis probably a cushion
