Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). 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 you can donate.

It's usually just a session or two and then it's old hat. I also take a few minutes to adjust to different neck lengths.

Nobody is gonna notice, but I will. I'll make tiny mistakes as I adjust - but they're addressed quickly. I might not fret completely clean, I may even hit the wrong string if it's a major difference between the guitars I've been consistently playing with.

I'll notice the mistakes. You might not, though you might pick up on 'em 'cause you're used to hearing my normal stuff.

LOL Shit happens! Try as we might, we will never be perfect.

It's okay. Every performing guitarist, even the absolute greats, has hit the wrong string on stage.

Some sage advice:

"If you play the wrong note, play it a second time and glare at the audience as though you meant to do so."

One of the hardest things a performing musician can do is play through the mistakes. When you make a mistake, instinct is to stop and try over. You can't really do that in a live environment - unless you made some serious mistakes. You gotta keep on keeping on, 'cause the show must go on. If you do it a few times, it can fuck with your confidence. If I glare at you while walking over to your amp to turn it down, it means you've fucked up enough.

It also helps where there's a whole band that's also playing. They can hide your mistakes a bit.

I have resigned myself to that fact, I just keep on going
