• Hmmm, how do you order a soda that is not a coke look a like? - Like Orange flavour Fanta? Orange Coke please!

Orange Coke please!

I found that the Orange flavour Fanta in the UK is yellow! In Afrika it is Orange - don't know about the rest of the world. In Hong Kong the Coke in Coca Cola cans taste like pepsi...weird ...almost a caramel taste.

I just think that there are some that call soda, "pop".

Never heard it being called "Pop" before! Here we just call it soft-drinks or cool-drinks...don't use the term "soda" much. Coca Cola is the main soft-drink maker here in SA - you can get pepsi - but it is very scarce.

I remember as a kid we called it "soda pop", don't hear that much now though.

Here in Scotland (mostly the Glasgow area i think) a lot of folks call it ginger.

Then you must try Pine apple Beer - Very power full stuff

See, Frans. You need to implement an on-line chat system. Banter like this is better viewed in real-time. And besides, I need a better distraction than your forums to keep me from my work - yours only distracts me once every half-hour and that's just not good enough. That is, unless I go through the trouble of actually logging into the forums themselves. But, oh ma gaw, that is so, like, 2002. (that's a California valley girl impersonation for those it was lost on)

Jeff...

BTW, it's 2:30 a.m. here. Where am I? On the LLBLGen forums...I'm slightly ashamed...I should be looking at porn like any self-respecting male web user...

Jeff, Why can't you sleep? Whats Wrong?

Don't suppose you're a Frank Zappa fan by any chance?

He's a psychedelic guitar player, very good, but a lot of his stuff is only listenable if you're... well... under the influence

haha That will be the case for several months. Just try to play a song without barre (F and up) chords. Try patience of guns & roses or one of U2. Pretty easy songs to start with

FB, who owns 3 electric guitars and mostly listens to progressive metal. Click here for an own composition on guitar(mp3)

haha Regular Smiley That will be the case for several months. Just try to play a song without barre (F and up) chords. Try patience of guns & roses or one of U2. Pretty easy songs to start with Regular Smiley

How long did it take you? I have a Vender Electric with a little 15Watt amp. - still want a classical guitar - bit of a slep to plug the amp in every time. I try to practise for an hour every night.

Is that MP3 yours? Are you playng to a songs background are you part of a band? Sounds pretty good -Excellent - Will be a while before i sound that good.

A Fender I suppose?

A classic guitar is harder to play, you have to press much harder than with an electric guitar. I started on a classic guitar, never took lessons though , just try to learn to play some of your fav. songs, just the chords first, then later go into the more advanced stuff.

thanks Yes, that's me playing I wrote it, then programmed the drums with Cakewalk on my comp using soundblaster soundbanks, then played the bass lines and rythm guitar and then the melody. I used a POD I of line 6, which is an emp emulator, so the guitar sounds like as if you're in a studio

I was in a band, but after 10 years or so we split up, the drummer moved to london, bass player up north and the singer quit, so just 2 guitar players wasn't that productive as a band . If you think you're good enough for a beginners band, you should join one, it's great fun and you'll learn a lot

A Fender I suppose?

Fender yes - sorry spelling.

Where to find the time?

Exacly what i am doing - i have a few friends that can play. But for now its me and the dummy book.

Cool, i play bass (badly). Seems a lot of IT types play a musical instrument of some type. One company i worked for we could have had a full band (including an accordian and a brass section!).

I played for my mate's band Tommy's Magic Arse for a short while when their regular bass player wasn't available. That was a laugh! You can also hear me in the background on a number of tracks and i even sang a couple of song live with them at their regular new year bash in our home town.

I have a Black & White Fender.

Otis - do you have any more tracks?

ahha what a cool band name

B&W fender with sunburst or totally black with white plastic inlay around the pickups?

Tracks, only a trance track I made with reason Sounds pretty cool though I had my tracks up at mp3.com but they dissapeared after the site went down...

All my mods and xm mods I made are also available online (good old demo/amiga music! ), go to: http://www.xs4all.nl/~perseus/
