A cover for Mediocre Guitar Player magazine often makes the rounds on Facebook.

I saw the latest one (below) and thought the pickguard shape was distinctive.

So I started poking around and found another cover.

Turns out Antsy McClain is a real professional musician with a sense of humor and at least one Guild.

LOL, never seen this it is outstanding. I love the F Chord myth--Is it even necessary. Oh my.

So, uh... Which brand guitar does attract redheads? Asking for a friend.

Canada .... brrr
This is way above my league. I'd need something for people who dream of being a mediocre player but lack the necessary talent and/or motivation to develop the skill.

You just need the right pedal!

I wouldn't be laughing so hard if there weren't some truth to all these article titles.

Hey, why don't you and I start our own magazine?

hey Richard, have i ever asked you what Guild acoustic you play the most, regularly? I cannot imagine you have one favorite, but with so many great and quintessential Guild flattops, I wonder which one is the one you play more than the others?

thanks

I really can't just do one but here are the ones I enjoy playing the most. Some I have are certainly more pricey but these just get it done for me and tend to be the ones I pick up most often.

Hello

Downright hilarious - so it woke up an old memory - I have it printed and delivered from RANE somewhere - but here is copy of it from www


screen-shot-2019-02-13-at-23.02.12.jpg


Full description can be found here

https://www.rane.com/pi14.html

- ps - how do you make it so that it says "here" and contains the link ?


RANE had some humour in their serious publication, too - like the early 2x3 x-over manual explaining how to use a x-over for (audio)bandsplitting - ( saying it happens all the time ) - to manipulate each frequency band differently and the combine them - which they called "Band Reunion" . . .

interesting! but one Westerly made the short list. I think on LTG New Hartford has the most emotional attachment of all.

You mark a word and click the little Earth you see left of insert picture. One is "Hyperlink" and the other "Unlink". You can additinally mark this word in bold for instance. Test.
