Thanks Shane Sanders.

I don't use tabs. So stop asking me for tabs.

I got kick out of that, too. He sounded really certain that he needed to say it one more time.

They might teach you how to bend into the actual pitch you're aiming for!

Thanks for giving me the inspiration for a new semi-clever band name.

What if you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain?

First off, I'm not miffed at you at all, but I am ribbing you back in equal force because you have recently taken some sort of morbid pleasure out of taking a dump in any thread that's about Gibson (ironically the self-tuning Gibson Les Paul comes to mind), or in this case isn't at all about Gibson but utilizes a Gibson domain name to reference free AC/DC guitar lessons.

I just found it humorous and ironic that you'd be implying that learning AC/DC songs is like an easy children's game when many if not all of your own songs suffer greatly from intonation problems, some of which have to do with bending strings. You may not agree or hear it, but I do. I think AC/DC rocks and grooves like crazy, and their recordings are in tune, bends and all. Lessons can help people reach and maintain that quality.

For example, in your song "Sleeping Giant" there's a fine bent-note train wreck around 2:08-2:12, but much of the whole melody is quite out of tune, imo. On some songs, I think the delay is repeating into other notes so much that it obscures your tonal intention. But mainly, the whole catalog just sounds like it was executed on a badly intonated guitar. Please don't take it as a personal attack as it's not meant that way. You did ask, given that I'd ribbed you about it. I'm happy to be wrong and perhaps some others can either confirm or deny my ear in this. I'll gladly admit to being on the wrong side of my perception of your intonation if several regulars will step up and tell me I am.

ouf!

well tbh you're probably right, I'm not perfect. I make mistakes and probably miss a lot of things. I really don't completely agree and some people actually do like my music as I do as well. But I certainly will listen to your criticism and be more aware.

However one thing does trouble me, I take shots at Gibson all the time and for years before you started working there. I would think having known each other as long as we have now and considering you a friend. But then a friend would probably also know if they heard something that needed attention that they could tell me and more important would want to tell me as a friend (I call it constructive criticism). My jokes have never been personal, but when you have a criticism, instead of giving me constructive criticism you save it to take a shot at me. Tell me Shane what do you call that?

oh yeah and I am miffed I just lost what I thought was a friend.

[Shane Sanders]

I call it ribbing up until you took it kinda personal and asked me to make sense of my ribbing.

Pistols at dawn then?

[manytone]

Perhaps explains why a lot of bands only have 1 guitarist?

In AC/DC's case... they were brothers.
I hope you guys still are.



Cheers for the lesson links Shane... I passed them on to a friend who is just learning this exact stuff.

Thanks Shane Sanders.

I don't use tabs. So stop asking me for tabs.

I got kick out of that, too. He sounded really certain that he needed to say it one more time.

Oh believe me Shane, you'd make sure of that as well. After getting 1000 messages of kids daily begging for tabs. Or "where did you get that tab?". Sigh. It became unbearable. How to let everyone know that I really learnt by ear? So I had to point it out. And I still do, daily!

Anyway. Thanks for spreading the word about my tutorials. When Gibson asked me to be on their site, I had to pinch myself. Didn't think it was me they were asking. Didn't think I deserved that. But oh well

Just fell here because of a search I was doing on google. Found my name and got curious.

Thanks,
