Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

When I say I applied for a job I mean a service call, or actually a site survey. I don't think I would like to have a job where I have to go there every day for eight hours a day. That seems like it would get really sickening to me.

It does indeed suck to work every day. It sucks even more when you work seven days out of the week. It also really sucks when you're spending 12+ hours at work on a fairly regular basis, even on weekends.

So, I can see why one would not want to do those things.

I kinda work every day - by that I mean doing something for other people that I'm obligated to do.

After much research, I think a new guitarist would want this:

(I already have luthier's tools, and many of them.)

What I think sucks more than working every day is a job where you do the same thing every day, day after day, with the same people around you all day every day, day after day, doing the same damn thing you did last week or last month or last year and then doing it again tomorrow.

I am not built for that kind of a job. That is the one thing I like about the work that I do, it is always different.

That would probably be a handy tool kit to have for a guitar player.

I think this thing from that very page is something that a new player might really like

I have a tuner built right into my amp. I don't trust the thing you linked to to be even remotely accurate. Hell, I expect it to snap strings.

I do have a string winder. I even have a battery powered string winder - or three.

I used to work in a factory where I did the same thing every day. It was a bit physically taxing, but it really only sucked when something stopped production and you had to sit there for an hour twiddling your thumbs. Today, I'd just play on my phone during downtime.

It wasn't bad. While it was physical, it wasn't mental. You really didn't have to think a whole lot once you got good at your job. I didn't mind it that much.

Consider, I've done real physical labor - like lug concrete forms. A factory job ain't bad at all after that.
