I noticed that too, but the whole idea of a multi-neck is to quickly go between instruments and some notes on a guitar can be played without the left hand.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing, that is Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen.

Oh, I'm sure he does. It just amused me. :D

I was just on the phone with a lady and she put me on hold. Then she picked up the line and started yelling at me about how much money I spent, getting my lazy *** off the couch and getting a job or she was leaving me.

Some people should really double check to make sure they pick up the right line before they unload on a caller.

In related news, some dude in Lithonia, GA is probably gonna get murdered tonight.

Pants, does a 12 string have 2 necks or a very wide one.

I need sleep.

Same size. Sets of two strings just sit close together. So you have a set of two high Es, two Bs, then every other one has the regular string and then the other is one octave have, so G and one octave higher, D and one octave higher, etc.

Not sure if serious. A 12 string has strings in pairs on the guitar so when you play it you get the two strings sounding together. Generally when you see a two necked guitar it is a combination of a 6 string (one neck) and a 12 string (the other neck) You can tell if it is a 12 string by looking at the tuning pegs. If there are 12 of them you are looking at a 12 string.

If you listen to stairway to heaven, Jimmy Page starts the simpler portion of the song on the six string of his double neck guitar and as the sound gets broader he is playing the 12 string.

And no, I don't play the guitar so if I got something wrong someone will have to correct me.

Of course this doesn't even touch on acoustic vs. electric.

I should have read through before answering, because it looks like Velo covered it.

I think the "benefit" of the two neck guitar is that you can tune them differently and not have to switch guitars/have an additional guitar. So one would be standard tuned while the other is tuned to a different key and you can switch mid song.

Personally, I think they're strictly for showmanship.

So your phone conversations with Mrs Cooler are very similar to the phone conversations I have with Mrs. JCyclonee?

Also, Lithonia means City of Stone.

The first concert I attended was REO Speedwagon and Cheap Trick. The Cheap Trick guitarist was very proud of his guitar and had named it ****.

I remember weird things.

Lew says that about me...

You & I would get along great IRL. :)

(Doesn't hurt that REO was my favorite hair band)

Being that we were both at that giant Twister game it seems as though we've been friends for almost 30 years now.

I have pictures of that buried somewhere in our storage room. That was sooooo fun! I still play occasionally with the grand kids, but I pay for it later. :)

Lew has some NSFW of me competing with our boys when they were in their late teens...I was doing some weird contortion to get my leg moved underneath my body from one edge of the mat to the other...WHILE I was underneath one of the guys. I managed to do it without touching my knee to the mat, but it was punctuated with ****! ****! ****! the whole time! Grandkids will have to be a lot older before they get to see that tape.
 
Here you go, JC - this was a couple of years ago. Pro-tip: If you value the muscles in your legs, don't let a 5 year old run the spinner. She spent more time giggling than spinning.
