Every guitar is a play it and don't worry about the dings situation. I've already chipped the paint on my '58 refin.

This guitar has been with him since 12/25

Since it's from the future, maybe the mark will disappear?

Dude I seriously was googling the Dunlop Flow picks, not that I'm ever going to change the same purple Tortex I've been playing for 25 years, and the first hit I got was a Reddit post about a yellow Tortex cake. I'm like there's no way this happened to two people....

So I got some picks to try, one of which was some Jazz III XLs, and I didn't even have to open the damn bag to know these goddamn things are way too small.

 

So if anyone wants a free bag of picks hit me up and I'll mail them too you.

Look at picks on this site.

https://bogstreet.com/

All sorts of picks to choose from that are “non traditional”.

This guitar has been with him since 12/25 and has likely had the tuner clipped on the entire time.  Two rings/indentations and we will never make that mistake again.  This guitar is really pretty and this isn't a "play it and don't worry about the dings" situation.
So, I'm off to the pedal thread to discuss in line tuners.
In other news, I'm taking him to see Bob Dylan play, which is nice.
 

We need to see the whole guitar please.

The guy mixing our record is incredible. He's making us sound way better than we deserve. So far we have rough mixes of 5 or the 15 we recorded. By rough mixes, these are for us to listen to before we go back and fix what needs fixed, then do a final mix. There's plenty that needs fixed, but I really like where this is heading. This is only my second time making a record and Im really appreciating what I learned making the last. 

Here's 2 selections for you guys that I probably shouldnt be sharing outside the band and my close circle, but hell, Ive been here so long most of you feel like friends and some of you actually have became friends in real life over the years.

Sally needs no back story. Typical scene that plays out every night somewhere.

Bear Song though, that was written before my time in the band and is funny. One of the songs that made me decide to join when invited. The idea is that your out in the woods with your baby when all of the sudden there's a bear attack. You can either fight the bear until it eats you and then eats the baby or, as in this case, just hand over the baby and give yourself time to run away. At least there's a survivor in that scenario. What they call dark humor. 

This is a good peak into what we got going on. Oh, and officially I quite the band due to "artistic differences". If thats not resolved my bass lines will be deleted and re-recorded by somebody else, but I've been told it it will be worked out and they are still acting like I never quit. Who knows. I doubt they'l ever get this out without me, amd they know that. We're called The Koffs for a reason.

Speaking of hybrid picking (which I never got the hang of):

I’m gonna miss Brent in Mastodon terribly, but I can’t wait to see what he does next. 

 

Interestingly enough I never really got the hang of it either, and I didn't set out to become passable at it, but I picked it up when I was doing triad practice. Once the muscle memory in my right fingers was there it's like can't unsee it.

 

 

I think the time had come for all involved for Brent to leave, seemed like a bad situation. I was never super into them, I gave it a whirl when Leviathan came out, but too plodding for my tastes, I lean more thrash. But they are a very talented group. Not sure if you saw but Ben Eller is filling in.

I had my J45 at my office for a while, and it had a snark and a cheap capo clipped to the headstock. I was dumb. I accepted the scars as stupid tax but I asked my guitar guy to see if he could do anything about it last year when I took that guitar guy in for a setup. He was able to touch it up - it's not invisible, but it's less visible. WIth the light up close and just right you can see the scars from the snark and then even that straight line above the D string is a permanent mark from the capo. From far away, less visible.

If I was in Austin, I would 1000% take it to my buddy Julio at Moon Music.

Julio used to be at Straight Fret, he opened up Moon Music with a friend after I left town, it seems like a cool shop. Julio is the one who fixed my Gretsch that got ruined through a combination of Warped Tour and long term alcoholic depression

I think I screwed myself early in my playing day by learning to hold the pick with three fingers. That leaves only my ring and pinky to do anything else and I’ve just been doing it too long to undo it. 
 

Plodding is not how I would describe Mastodon, but I am incapable of being objective about them. Absolute Atlanta legends, I’ve seen them more than any other band in my life, and I’ve seen a few. I did see that Ben is filling in, and he’s talented, but the other big gap is going to be Brent’s voice. Songs like Oblivion just won’t be the same. 
 

And to make up for no pr0n, here’s his funky 9 string

It seems like he’s super talented but a train wreck of a human. A combo that is not infrequently seen in our little corner of the world. Do I have that right?

Only seen them once and it was a great show.

Love that Gretsch. How does it sound through the Matchless?

Sounds great, super chimey, I got obsessed with ringing open strings when I started playing that gretsch and the matchless.

 

it’d a fuzzy time but I want to say that the main guitar on this song is gretsch and that matchless, and I think the baritone guitar also went through the matchless and a bunch of reverb

That’s awesome. I had one a while back. Was impossible to keep in tune. I’d be interested to know how that goes with the Taylor. 

He'll sell it the minute it's time for a restring. :)
