We have a new Moderator

Hi members.
Most of you already have some idea of who I am. I am now a moderator for the forum. I'd like to thank the Admin for the job at five times the salary he pays the other mods!
Anyway, I live on the east coast of the United States so hopefully this will help to spread out the time zone coverage and get a faster response to issues.
I'm here to help if I can and to help keep the "tone" of the forum friendly and to hopefully keep an eye on nasty behavior.
I can't possibly read every post to every thread so if you see a problem please bring it to my attention by sending me a PM or you can email me at phip1@verizon.net

Bribes are accepted via cash or credit card (no checks please)

Keep it friendly, help those who are just starting out. Be tolerant.
Thanks,
Steve

Now that us old folk have a friend in low places, does it mean that shred's out and music's in?
Congrats Steve, it's been a long time coming!

Thanks Deefa and all who gave me the thumbs up.
To answer your question, Yes, from now on this site is to be dedicated to elevator and super market muzak only!
I for one am selling my guitar and getting a shiny new kazoo
Phip

why does everyone bag on faster guitar playing? seriously I'm sick of it! it's fun!

+1000

MUZAK!!

No offence intended kids. It's just that I'm jealous of shredders 'cause I've got 5 sausages hanging off the end of my wrists and they just ain't built for speed.

congrats phip, maybe bring down the "phip hammer" to let us know whos boss!



Amen brother! not that im old or have fat fingers, broken and stiff wrists dont help the situation for me.

I'm with Case on this one. I'm old and I shred. I like to shred cause it's fun! It's not always good or musical but it keeps me in shape. A lot of times I will just play fast for awhile and then switch to just slow soulful playing and then I seem to be more accurate.

macandanga^^ you just explained my sex life going fast and meaningless then slow and soulful...

TMI

i say not enough information^•^
