Topic: It's Quiet Round Here!

Before Christmas the forum was coming along nicely. Since the new year the conversation is fading fast!

I'm racking my brains for ideas for topics but my creative juices just aren't flowing  default/lol

So if anyone can help start any new topics to get the momentum going again I would appreciate it!

Thanks a lot!

You got everything here going for ya! And you are quite open to as what we can post

my lyrics, my guitar and my imagination

People are just looking at credit card bills, I am sure it will pick up again soon.

Thanks john - no problem about the theory. Theory is a tiny tiny part of guitar playing and the guitar in general. There is plenty of other things to talk about - how is your composing/recording coming along?

Thanks James - I try and avoid looking at mine - they tend to make me very depressed!

Re: It's Quiet Round Here!

Yeah,  Ive been here a month or so, and it looks like the same cast of characters, and not much going on.  I've done my part to kick it a notch here, but I don't know.  It takes everyone, to make it work, when you have such a small amount of activity.

In all honesty I have considered checking back less and less because there seems to be so little going on...

And with that, this makes my 200th post.

Re: It's Quiet Round Here!

In my opinion there's a bit to much technical and theory being discussed, which, (don't get me wrong is brilliant if that's what you are into)
But myself I'm completely self taught from day one, guitar and chord book, So have no understanding of theory, tabs, scales,
But that said, I do believe I can play, like I've said before, nothing special but it pleases me,
I think my main focus is on rhythm and melody,
But in my mind the modern young guitarist is more focused on technical ability and speed, so therefore needs to know more about what he or she is actually doing,  default/smile
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: It's Quiet Round Here!

Yes I know what you mean  - i think the problem lies with us being such a small community so we all get involved with every post.

If we had more people then there would be more theory chat for the theory lovers and more other guitar chat for the others. Generally with forums, people check the category or categories that they like and disregard the others but as I said, here we are a much tighter community (which is nice!)

Sorry guys, I've been very quiet of late but with the little guy around I don't get much of a chance to get on the internet and when I do, I go straight to Youporn to save time.

Yes when you have young children you don't have so much time to do anything so I admire how efficient you are Mikey!

Good to see you around though. I trust all is well and you are enjoying fatherhood?

Good well I am very pleased you feel this way. I would hate to think that people might not bother coming back because of lack of content! So if it ever gets to that point then just let me know before you disappear and I will do all I can!

It's fantastic thanks! The wee man's coming along great, he's a handsome little guy, takes after his dad  default/big_smile

He loves it when I play the guitar and sing to him! So he has great taste too.

How's things with you? Family all ok?

If the rest of you all feel it's fine, then maybe I'm the odd man out here.

No, I know what you mean. This forum is more of a small community at the moment - every member knows every member and contributes to all threads.

I am sure that is pretty uncommon, especially in busy forums.

It's a slow growing thing and hopefully it will carry on growing so do keep stopping back Instructor as it would be a shame to lose you!

Cheers

It does but I have neglected it quite a bit as it didn't really do anything much! I guess I should keep at it really but been real busy with other thing!!

I shouldn't make excuses I am keen to keep this forum alive and I am grateful for all the people that stick around!
