Are you saying they’re mistakenly reenforcing the parts that DON’T cause total failure?

Agree. 98 with grip would be my ideal.

I’m good enough at guitar to do it professionally. Not my only job but part of my income is playing as a hired gun for local acts and artists touring the region. I play mostly country, a lot of chicken-pickin, bending style telecaster stuff. Been at it over 25 years.

I’d like a list of self-forgiving-for-being-a-piece-of-shit phrases. Example: “I just tell it like it is”, “tough but fair”, etc.

Lower the price.
