>>>The sweetest revenge would be a black President in the whitehouse.<<<<
How so? It's not like YOUR country is blameless with regards to racism. Australia ever have an indigenous Australian as pres.? Wasn't Oz kidnapping aboriginal kids and placing them with white families until the 1970's? Look, most of us understand that Bush has hurt other countries besides ours. Including tanking the economy. Most of us didn't even vote for him, at least in 2000. But, get this straight. Most of us voting for Obama are not voting for him because people in Europe or Oz or Kenya think we should. We're not doing it because you "told us so". Or because he's black and "it's about time!" It's not about "revenge". Barack is one of the first "viable" candidates who happens to have African ancestry(with national coverage, i'm sure there were others who were great, without much coverage.) For instance, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would never have gotten my vote first and foremost because they are also religious leaders. So, most of us couldn't care less about the amt. of melanin in his skin. We care about getting the country on track.
I'm not sure who I'm voting for, I don't like ANY of the major party candidates this time around. But if I vote for Obama, it's not going to be for some world wide popularity contest, or because of how I'll be perceived if I don't. To paraphrase hilbilly, I've already done alot to fight racism, sexism, homophobia etc. I don't need to "prove" anything by voting for someone based on the amt. of melanin they do or don't have. If I did, that WOULD be racist.

Nah, blues slide is easy!! Pinch harmonics are hard. Just put your guitar in open d or g, remember to slide to the fret, not in between, and your set. Couple o' youtube lessons, and your golden. If you have the precision to do pinch harmonics, slide is cake.

I play a little blues slide in open tunings, I'm learning anyway. Fun stuff, but I've always been into sound, tone, technique etc long before I picked up an axe. Fascinates me.

Billy Gibbons tone kicks A$$! His sustain, and use of "false harmonics" is just unreal. You guys got most of my faves. When they do straight ahead blues it gives me chills. And, well, Y'all missed one.....

Who knows? Lots of people think that. I've worked with folks w/ HIV. I've also seen folks w/ HIV who never took HIV drugs die of full blown AIDS.
