    Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

    Avi, walk away and learn how to play electric guitar instead.

    i've been playing electric guitar for close to.... 11 years?..

    Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

    Nice going Deebow. Right on . Still think Avi has the look of a metal guitarist.

    I'm not very great at metal music. more into surreal trippy kind of stuff on guitar. but for the last 3 hours i've been learning the hotel california solo and pretty well got it entirely.

    You shouldn't be. I'm a terrible guitarist by every account.. I use a stratocaster single coils for high gain metal with a JCM800 4x12 slanted.

    Post a video... preferably with John working on the whitewood in the background

    #10309 1 year ago
    Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

    You haven’t heard me play...proud!

    As of lately i've been working on a digital studio for music. So i'm able to hook up my guitar to my computer and play through my microphone. It's great for recording stuff to if i decide i want to get into covers or to teach people. I use to be pretty popular on some of those chat room games with the voice chats. it's been a hot minute though.

    Quoted from Daditude:

    Post a video... preferably with John working on the whitewood in the background

    Why? so he can play drums using hammers on the whitewood? i don't wanna bring my JCM800 to the workshop. John will smack it and it'll go up in flames like Marty mcfly.

    Quoted from pookycade:

    Can anyone with graphic design skill help out with that “Arcades For Sale” sign in the window ? Perhaps personalize for GWJ ? I think we can do better here

    Could bastardize this one I'm sure

    Beer total was only 1 can of Guinness Beer at the workshop. Went home & picked up a suitcase of Bud to keep the wife happy during the holidays. At the Irish Bar I go to young guys with money were sampling the whisky, near me at the bar. Nice to see a decent collection of brands. There are a number of locals in the music biz that play pinball. Avi will slowly meet more of them next year. Those hand made signs were mine, & it shows that I am not an artist. JWMG was my custom plates when I was 25 in Ontario with my wife the first year together.

    There will be a flipping white wood by Christmas, or not. But definitely a flipping white wood by March.

    Is that you shredding over the track?!

    #10319 1 year ago
    Quoted from Dee-Bow:

    Is that you shredding over the track?!

    Yup. i didn't bother trying to be perfect. the strings on my guitar are raised too high from the fretboard. it was literally killing me to play that.

    #10320 1 year ago

    I prefer not perfect! It sounded deadly man! Well done. I know you said don't ask.. but could ya post a quick vid of some of that spacey trippy shit you were talking about! all good if you're not wanting to tho. \m/

    Hmmm... I'm not really sure i have anything recorded at the moment. I'd be too embarrassed to share anything i personally did since in that regard i'm a psychopathic perfectionist. but here's something i've been listening to as of recent.

    #10322 1 year ago

    Threads taken another unexpected detour lol — love it! Also the jab about more time in puppets than the whitewood thus far- nice!

    Kim’s cabinet timeline post — man this build has clearly taken a rapid downturn in theoretical quality from the summer aspirations to now but the unchanging thread that is woven throughout is the lack of cares by John. No rush then, no rush now. It does make me curious what an actual homebrewer could do with the 10k (assuming they also are willing to build in their free time for free) and how far along they would be.

    Merry Christmas Aaron & the team at Fast Pinball. Glad Gerry is coming through since I am still likely still on the naughty list there at Fast Pinball. Just wondering if the coach & I had waited for the Fast Pinball platform if we would of seen it this year? Not going to blame you anyway with the slow pace here, opposite I guess of Fast Pinball.

    #10335 1 year ago

    This is "Trash" pinball, not "Fast" pinball.

    If Kim ever comes to Halifax for a visit, almost like Cheers. Seems like most of the staff know my name. 2 different bars to sit at. https://www.oldtriangle.com/about-us/#gallery-7

    Still waiting for Avi to get a government id & show him the bars with live music. I can drink beer & he can drink water. Our local bar by the shop does not say anything about Avi bringing in a bottle of pop from the workshop. My beer drinking is like 2 or more people.

    It appears everything is in stock now at FAST Pinball, so I assume if you ordered you would see it around the new year (depending on shipping time). It's a public business, so anyone can order. You are getting confused between "naughty list" and "give me special treatment" list. You were never on the naughty list. Stop playing the victim here.

    This is actually a very humorous post worthy of upvoting. Yes John is still salty. As he should be. He got snubbed pretty good. Not that it was without merit…

    Good times. It’s all just good times. Merry Christmas!

    Dang GWJ that place looks nice... not at all what my mental picture of the place you hang out would look like.

    I have never considered going to Halifax in my life but if I ever make it there I would love to try and go bar hopping with you... but I have to say up front I doubt I could maintain your pace... .

    Looks like I can be there in 39 hours. 40 hours with a potty break at Woodlawn Cemetery (NY).

    Tell Avi I'm bringing my 5 piece drum set so all we need is a Harp (Harmonica) player.

    Anybody wanna catch a ride along the way?

    For all intents and purposes Gerry and Aaron’s systems will perform exactly the same for your purposes. And by that I mean you have no idea how to program either of them anyway so it makes no difference which you choose.
