bouche Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'm thinking of quitting guitar altogether. Although I never had a goal to reach a certain skill level, I just digitally watched some shite that made me question humanly possible abilities...If you watch into 18:00 minutes of this, you'll see why I'm about to ebay my guitars. blew my mindfor the folks that don't catch my point, there is a guitar player doing some stuff I've never seen before.I sometimes wonder if I've not seen enough great players, or if there are just crazy amazing prodigies popping up here and there.

SaggyBalls Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 so you're considering giving up an instrument because you can't do what this dude did?? mike...are you ok? you can play guitar and sing at the same time. who cares if you're a conventional player. I'm not quitting bass just cause i can't double thumb like wooten or know all my modes and scales everywhere on the neck...if i weren't on dialup i'd see the video... guess the viewing's a prerequesite but come on...do you enjoy making music? i think it's just a case of wisdom getting passed down and people realizing their abilities. you do loads of other things. you don't have time to sit at home and play for 8 hours a day. i'm sure people would buy your guitars if they knew what you have. why not post it up...send a link over here. i won't be bidding but there are loads of players around here. too bad you're having a dilemma dude. i've gone through similar issues in the past little while.

bouche Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 [color:"purple"] sorry that i forgot to use purple It was just my way of saying that there was some crazy assed guitar lickin' going on in that vid. I would love to watch that stuff live. I continued on and watched some Garaj Mahal. Now, I loved listening to them, so seeign them on vid was really intense. I need to see that live too. That GrooveTV is goign to get raped by my harddrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Still haven't heard umphrey's...boo to the dialup connection! anyhow, fareed haque (garaj) is the only player i know of to be sponsored for the glissentar by Godin guitars... GLISSENTAR if you're feelin down on guitar, check one of these things out. almost a guitar...but definitely not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Canned Beats, you're a putz man. Slow down and don't take everything so gad damn seriously. As if Bouchey would quit guitar. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Apparently you don't need to practice your guitar as much as you need to practice your hyperbole bouche. Thanks for the link. Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Ms. Hux...be careful...i'm sensitive. and you're right. i need to chill out. it's so hard when i'm wound tight like a top and ready to burst...i feel for Jared...(not literally though...only figuratively.) but check out the glissentar. if you like to play wstringed instruments it's an awesome axe to sit down and play at a music store. if you can find one play it. especially with delays, filters, and mod...(it's a plugged in instrument...if you're trying it out what's the harm in trying out a couple of effects with it right?...just don't eat ALL of your mushrooms before heading into the store) have a blast...i need to go rock out. ciao.

Ira Hayes Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Garaj is doing three shows in BC this week. Thursday in Vancouver, followed by two shows in Whistler at the boot. Might be some of the last shows we see there as I've heard they are ripping down the Shoestring and Boot to put up some fancy ass hotels or lodging. Gonna be killer though, 3 night run of Garaj...woooohoooooo... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hey CB, yeh I second the motion on the glissentar. They had one at L&M on Bloor in Toronto for quite a while in the acoustic department upstairs - not sure if it's still there. Anyway I played around with one for a bit and it was indeed great fun! I think it would be one of those instruments where if you knew a bit of guitar or another stringed instrument you could do some cool stuff immediately, but you could spend a lifetime mastering. But I could see how it could fit into all sorts of music. Price was a bit steep thou, around $1200 if I remember right? - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 ill buy them all. man this video is f@cking SICK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 My guitars will never be sold. There's always room for more though. That Glissentar does look interesting. I would like to try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Mike, Centre Stage Music in Kingston is a Godin dealer and they carry the Glissentar. If there is a Steve's in Ottawa, they should have one too. But who needs Steve's when you can have a Lauzon? I'll take that 12-string Rickenbacker that you never play off your hands.

bouche Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hells no, I wasn't going to sell my guitars. Jaimoe, that ricky is not going anywhere, and sh!t...I do play it. You need to hear the 12-string rickenbacker's sound when we (ms.hux and the skanks) covered The Slip's "If one of us should fall" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 So no on the guitars then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 HAHA. i bet you could easily talk a dealer down to $800 on a glissentar...'nobody's gonna buy THAT - look at it. only a wierdo would buy one of those things...and i'm a wierdo with some money in my pocket...want some CASH??it'd likely work.of course $1200 is steep but it's a finely crafted instrument. I played those godin acoustic electrics and they're great. as easy to play as an electric but sound and feel acoustic (not totally acoustic but they resonate nicely and sound AWESOME through an amp...awesome jazz tones with chorus)i hope people check out different instruments...if you like wierd string instruments, check out the warr guitar Warr Guitar I think it could be the next step for BQ's Olivier....or not(the stick is mighty thick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
