   Oh, there's music, and there's dancing. And a whole lot of sweet romancing! When they play the Friday Night Guitar Thread! They all get in the swing. Every time they hear that. Everybody feels so. They want to throw their cares away. They all go!!

   bopper  It was 20 years ago today;  My brother taught me how to play;  I've been going in and out of style;  But I'm guaranteed to raise a smile;  So may I introduce to you;  The guy you've known for all these years;   Bopper's Crazy Acoustic Compilation.  (I'll do better next time this is pretty rough but I did want to do something.)  Man did you see that last Friday Night Guitar post, I think it had 800 comments!

   Grandmacaesar  Hi guys.  I hope you all had a good week.  Mine was okay, except for the whole Jeff Beck dyin' thing.  I wrote and recorded this today, then I spent 3 hours tryin' to make it sound like I did somethin' before i said fuck it that's good enough.     Flaming Skull Nightmare

   TheBuddha  I'm sure I'll be better soon. This was the track I meant to share

   Crazy  I hope this is what you were going to share, this is from the cof files, it is J, it is simply called #7

   TheBuhdda  Yes...  Your Song  Oops... I was exhausted and fell asleep.

   Crazy  Chris and I also learned and played the Bob Dylan song, Shelter From the Storm

   Crazy  Hey there everybody, my friend Chris came over and we jammed out till the cops knocked on the door at 3:30 AM.  I asked him if he had seen Verle and he told me this funny story then we jammed the Grateful Dead's US Blues

   CrazyI loved to plug my guitar into the amp and turn it up to ten and just do this!

   Well, you can stick your nine to five living, and your collar and your tie... and stick your moral standards, cause it's all a dirty lie. You can stick your golden handshake, and stick your silly rules, and all the other shit that they teach the kids in school. Its the Friday Night Guitar Thread.

   Grandmacaesar  Hi guys.  I spent some time with my new Les Paul-style guitar this week.  Her name is Misha.  I wrote a song this morning so you can hear what she sounds like.  The Way You Say Goodbye

   hit-n-run  Hey. Hey. My. My. Welcome to Insurrection die (day in Aussie)  I don't know why in dafuq this song popped into my mind. Maybe it was cause the dude that quit his popeship kicked the bucket. I read the woke folk hated his guts so I figgered that is a good dude.  Saw this song back in the day on The Last Waltz by The Band.  Loved it immediately.  Old Time Religion

   Crazy  I made this little ditty up the other day and sat down and whipped it out for you all to hear.   I present to you the  Hassle Free Kemosabe

   Crazy  Here is another little ditty I came up with recently, the  Step Back Blues

   TheBuhdda  Ol' Buddha went to a doctor's appointment. He was feeling just fine. But that's where sick people go, so I feel like I'm gonna die.  Have some fuckin'  Fur Elise  Yeah, you've heard it before, but I'm snuggled up in bed with a heating pad - somewhere between shivering and sweating. I'll survive. It takes more than this to kill me.

    I need to open the thread early. I will barely be here, maybe? It's time for the Annual Christmas FNGT!

   TheBuddha  Hello and welcome to another FNGT - except this isn't our normal Guitar Thread, this is our Christmas Special Guitar Thread! So, welcome to your annual CSGT!

   This year, we did something a bit different. It's more like our earlier Christmas tracks than it is like our last few Christmas tracks. We did still crib from TSO, as they (and others) include The 5th as a Christmas tradition. So, give it a listen and you'll see...  Christmas 2023

   Grandmacaesar  Hi all, I hope you are all warm.  It's about 50 F outside.  I don't even have to turn on the heater.

   I covered a Clarence Carter song.  This is Back Door Santa

   Crazy  Holly Jolly Christmas

   hit-n-run  Merry Christmas you cool cat, guitar whizzes. Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano

   Crazy  Blue Christmas

                White Christmas

                Black Christmas

   unclecarl  Merry Christmas Eve to one and all. I have an oldy but goodie, hope you like it. White Christmas on Shoreline Music Monthly. Story of my life a day late and a dollar short. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night !

   Crazy  Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

   TheBuddha  This is Silent Night again, but has Nadeshda singing along with it. I miss her and her contributions.  Silent Night  She's remembered fondly.

                           This one you'll hear again in a few minutes...  Silent Night  Trust me, listen to the second version... Gimme a minute...

                            I'm dumping tracks when I can, as I don't think I'll be here long...  Greensleeves  That is actually also a Christmas song and was the first Christmas song shared in the FNGT.

                            I had nothing to do with this, thankfully... But, it's from a dear friend... So, don't blame me!  Gotta Rock for Christmas

                            Another one from the archives:  Christmas Wizards In Winter - The Usual Suspects

                            Enjoy! Christmas Medley - The Usual Suspects

   Crazy  It is my friend opie's birthday today and I went to visit him and give him a birthday gift. He never heard the song I wrote about his owi. So he got to hear it and see the video I just finished making for it! Opie's An Idiot

   It's the Friday Night Guitar Thread! Let's make some music and share it with the world. All instruments are welcome, any skill level, any songs. Make it hip and snappy so we all get to singing and dancing along. Everyone is welcome. Now get on in here!

  Grandmacaesar  Hi guys, I hope all is well.  I started this song about two hours ago, just started stackin' tracks till I was happy with it.  It's named for a lost night in Portland when I couldn't find the fuckin' parkin' garage where I parked my car.  I growled at people to make 'em think I was one of them.  Vicodin Pub Crawl

  TheBuddha  Anyhow, I have something special (or not) that I don't think any of you have heard before. This is a BDE (band) recording and I can't be certain about the origin. It was either a soundboard recording at a live show, or was from a rehearsal session. The date on it tells me that it was probably live and I was probably seated for the show (as my femur was still really fucked up at the time).

  Alas, my voice isn't quite right. I like to think I did it justice, but there's at least a couple mistakes. I use pedals to add effects to my voice and I was slow getting to them twice. That's another clue that it was live and seated, though I seem to recall doing the middle of that session standing? I'm really not sure what went on, as it was that long ago and I was really high on opiates still. It was definitely against doctor's orders, but the show must go on!  BDE - Creep (Radiohead cover)

  hit-n-run  I saw this video on Voat back in the day. I loved the song. Learned it off the video. Should have been a top 40 hit but I guess it wasn't politically correct. Gnome sayin'?  Send 'em all back to Africa

  booper  Anybody feel me on this?  booper's song

  Crazy  Hello everybody. My friend Chris came over earlier this week and we jammed out for a while. Here is our version of Up On Cripple Creek

  Crazy  Here is a song that I don't remember who did it but its a real cool song. This Is Satori?

   Well, well, well. Here we are again on another lovely Friday night, and you all know what that means. It is time for the Friday Night Guitar Thread! Dust off your instruments and play us a song. Throw on your dancing shoes and spin us a jig. Everybody is welcome. All instruments. All skill levels.

   Minimalarch  It's a bit long and I did try sing more so and focused a bit on tone. On my phone during playback the bass sounded miffed inside the rhythm don't know why but lead was fine. I'm going mess with recording a drum beat off you tube so match back ground then re record bass and rhythm then redo lead but here's today's variant.    Only Darkness

    unclecarl  Greetings Friends! It's Veterans Day, and as I promised him this is my Friends story warts and all. Out There In Country?

  Grandmacaesar I hope everyone's had a good week.  I've been invited to play bass in an Iron Maiden cover band.  Has anyone here ever heard of those guys?  Meanwhile I'm sharin' one from some time back.  Walkin' Shoes

  unclecarl  This is an oldie Titled.  The Calm Before The Fall

  bopper  Be careful what you wish for lol. Anybody ever heard this song before?  I screwed up the very last line, oh well. Supposed to be "not good enough to take his daughter's hand."  And I can't even blame it on alcohol.   I wonder if anybody here knows this old song

  TNN  This is the only recording I can find of me trying to play guitar. It's pretty funny so go at it...  Rock And Roll All Night

  TheBuddha  Today is Veteran's Day here in the US, Armistice Day really. WWI ended today, on November 11, at 11:00. Rather than make any political statements, I figured I'd share something we've not heard in a long time. This song was made just for the thread and it's...   The FNGT Theme Song

  Some of you will have never heard that song, more than likely. It's a pretty old track, from February of 2019! Some of you will have heard it, but probably haven't heard it in a while! So, it's a good day to dig it out again.

  Yesterday was the Marine Corps birthday. Rock on!

  Crazy  Hello again everyone. I hope you are all doing well.

  Earlier this week my friend Chris came over and we were jamming out some songs when the two guys I had recently met and jammed with called and asked what I was doing. I told them I was jamming with my buddy Chris and they said can we come over? Hell yeah! why not?

  So when they come in Chris and I are playing this song and they asked, can we join in and of course we said yeah. So the one guy jumped on the drums and the other one grabbed a guitar and we went for it.   Best friends girlfriend

   Crazy  So then my new friends and my old friend decided that we would play one of the new friends' songs. Chris learned the chords and away we went. Here is She goes 

  Best friends girlfriend

  Crazy  So after we played that Cars song, my new friends and my old friends were talking and trying to figure out something that we could just jam on together without having to spend too much time learning the music. You know, so we could just get to playing.

  Someone mentioned Sublime, and all three of those guys was like yeah I love them.

  So I set up another mic on a stand and now I have three guys who want to sing. I have been for years looking for someone to sing for me when I am playing cause I dont like my singing. Now here I have three of them at once. Abundance. Then they all decided to sing it together! Which sounded so fucking awesome to me. Then when that was done they took turns at it. Meanwhile I am playing two notes on the bass and a dancing away   What I Got
