That reminds me.  When I was in Beaverton earlier this week, the Burger King there had a sign saying they're hiring for "All positions."  Do you think they have doggy available for ya? 

Craig now that you're gainfully employed can I give you the bouncer handshake like a real man? :D:D

Let's get back to the topic of typical guitar players. Let's take a poll! 
 
In the old days, and I do mean old, distortion was bad. The only strings available were Black Diamond and no 3rd unwound G strings. All the amps I got to play on were cheap and distorted no matter what you did. But to me they sounded good. Later a few years and I bought a recorded and learned to over dub. I found that when playing with other instruments in the recordings the distortion didn't come out that way but more like a violin sound. It cut but sounded good. Now days unless it's something like Autumn leaves I prefer distortion on a melody because I can get a vocal quality out of the sound. What do you guys think?

I think I'm still trying to decipher this sentence...

With distortion comes sustain, naturally. Easier for legato playing, nice for top line melodies. Depends on the type of tune though. Sometimes it's all in the left (or right) hand vibrato, clean sounds can work too.

In one small paragraph, James pretty much covers everything!

Now that you mention it. There may be a hidden message in that statement. I bought a recorded This looks suspicious to me! What is it being over dub? How do you recorded? Peculiar I think!
