    Hmm, maybe I should use this to replace the pedal that my GH: World Tour didn't come with. Maybe instead of using my cousin's pedal I should have actually emailed to get a replacement pedal.

    So a flaccid whammy bar is a common problem? I told her that, but she didn't look like she believed me.

    @Lite: split a beer atom.: The FAQ says it can be powered by 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 time, as well as by high expectations, unpaid bills, friction between band members, and a lack of interest from record labels and the general public.

    That he missed some notes made it better. In the beginning he hit every note and I thought that it was just a video of one of those computer glitches when it hits every note, but when he missed a few, it proved it was actually him.

    @MichaelBrazell: I'd like to think he probably would have hit it perfectly if he had inhuman amounts of stamina (and judging from the beginning, he probably would have). I can't believe he managed to do as well as he did, playing that quickly over a course of seven minutes.

    If you have ever tried to play the guitar using drumsticks, you were probably drinking the same paint thinner as I was drinking, because it's impossible.

    I could swear I've seen a photo of a guitarist with a drumstick. He probably was using it like a violin bow, though.

    @Hyman Decent: No, guitarists use a violin bow like a violin bow. You probably saw something like this:



    Both Lee and Thurston from Sonic Youth are fairly infamous for using drumsticks as a third bridge on their guitars, a lesson gleaned from their years in the New York no-wave scene with Glenn Branca and the like. Efrim from Canuckistan band Godspeed You! Black Emperor also often employs a drumstick for the same purpose.
