Winding down. Thanks to SouthpawGuy who will be the LR next week!
I guess my meeting with my partner yesterday was a great thing, we were awarded a contract to do a 7.5 KW Solar PV system on a house in Port Colbourne, Ontario, wahoo. Planning for that starts today! Installation begins in May.
I better get my partscaster done by then!
LUNCH
As my lovely wife has reminded me, I need to lose about 20+, so no breakfast today and lunch will be a stuffed chicken breast and salad.
G&L QUESTION
Currently I have the 2008 ASAT Classic Bluesboy, the 2009 Legacy and a 2011 ASAT Classic Special Deluxe on order. Stupid me is already thinking, what's next.
As far as tonal qualities go, I think I will have a lot of the bases covered.
In premier guitar magazine, they asked a guitarist to create a set of guitars that would have all the major tonal qualities covered and he had 7 must haves in the set.
Here's the article:

So, question is, what in the G&L line am I missing to provide a different tonal experience? I am assuming an S-500 would be one I would think about, but what others? A dual HB, rampage, what?
NON G&L QUESTION
Two Questions today,
First, about orientation. Being a lefty, it always interests me what orientation a person is. For example, I have all my life been totally 100% left sided, left handed, left footed, etc.
I was asked recently, why I wear my watch on my right arm and my answer was that at 10 years old, my first watch had a strap and I couldn't do it up with my right hand on left arm, so I switched.
I do everything lefty, except.............for some unknown reason, I play hockey right handed, golf right handed and at baseball, I could switch hit. When I started the guitar adventure 4 years ago, I guess I could have bought a right hander and learned that way, but there was no question in my mind that I would go out and buy a lefty. So, what orientation are you and how does it effect other things in your life, like golf, etc? (I read recently that Jimi Hendricks was right handed and wanted THAT hand on the fretboard, which is why he learned to play lefty)
Second, just curious how many of us still take regular lessons? I go every two weeks for an hour to a wonderful guitar teacher. He challenges me every time with a new tune that I have to learn, I try to play it in the first hour as we go thru it and then the second half is learning some theory and a new tune. Currently I am learning a song called Alka Selzer, aka Brian Selzer style, its perfect for the Duese and is vey tough being a grade 5 lesson. Without this constant challenge, I think I would just play the same old stuff over and over again. Now, when I go back and play the stuff he gave me years ago, its much easier, ahhhhhhh progress.
