Hey all. Ive been around for a bit and have 5 years university in cell and microbiology/bacterial effector proteins. Ive tried nearly every mainstream drug and am recovering from a horrible heroin OD. Im a pseudo-intellectual and find myself in good company here on BL.

Hobbies guitar, absurdism, existentialism. Classical literature. Reading burroughs Naked Lunch at shit and bed time.

Tonight. Fish Oil, magnesium, in my skivvies about to watch A Scanner Darkly bluray. I have vicks on my nose, I love the smell. Probably work one out and go to sleep afterwards. Im drinking Horchata tonight, Que Onda hermanos?

Almost forgot, smoking camel crushes.

I wish I could tell my boss that and not get fired. Apparently they take you seriously when your a security guard, guarding a fuel/chemical storage facility. Ppffffttttt, whatever.

Ha! Yeah I think we'd all feel better if you refrained for that job!
 
Nah, but I bought one of the better quality instants. I bought a cheap one once and it sucked the bawls. There is this woman vendor where I live and she sells mexican treats, and my favorite is the arroz frozen treat. its basically frozen horchata with rice bits in it, its divine. And she has a great ass. Buen culo, mi corazon es solo para su culo. My spanish sucks, sorry man. No puedes.
 
Yes, sucky Spanish is an eternal problem in my life. I travel, it gets better. I return home and get lazy and it defaults right back to sucky. Right now I have a neighbor from Honduras that I try to practice with. His English is on par with my Spanish so we communicate like toddlers but we are infinitely patient and empathetic!
 
Thanks. I try. You're more mid, and Im more west. Im about 2 hours from Omaha.

I od'd for something like 16 hours before I was found, probably wasnt vented til 17 hours. My pick arm is partially paralyzed from it but its coming back, my hearing is off too. Not sure if thats from the fever, I was at 103.7 when they narcanned me or hypoxia from slow respiration. If you click my name and read my blog I detailed the OD there. My pick hand is awfully sloppy right now, but Im working on it. Mostly just playing strumming songs to get it back. If you want to hear some of my older shitty direct plug in recordings I used my sg and an instrument cable and a 1/4" to 1/8" headphone adapter plug this is my old myspace page with 3 songs http://www.myspace.com/emptyflaskcatastrophy Under the Whether is an adapted Under the Bridge, with 2 channels of my playing, the other 2 songs are single tracks. Martha Focker is about this married chicks ass I used to work with. And Another day I wrote when I quit graduate school and was depressed about what the hell I was going to do.

From my myspace describing my sound "Sounds Like: Have you ever heard cicadas? Its kind of like that, but more like when you get a cheap hotel room and the UPS man is next door giving brain damage to some poor house wife as the headboard smacks her senseless. Combine that sound with what Letterman would be like if he were ACTUALLY funny."

For guitar, I basically know pentatonic/blues scale and minor dorian. I dont like to memorize leads because its a pain in the ass, I prefer to learn the muisical gist of a song and just play in the key for my leads. Its lazy, but I prefer improvisation to memorization. Im not a juke box or a sound recorder basically.

As far as semi complex songs I have memorized except for the leads would be Jimi Hendrix vodoo chile, Hey Joe, Purple haze, spanish castle magic. Redhot chili peppers under the bridge, dont forget me, soul to squeeze. Incubus Mexico. A couple of pixies songs, Third eye blind crystal baller. And then like 2 dozen chord songs like knockin on heavins door etc. I play hendrix using his chord shape with the overlaid thumb on the barre chords. freeing up the pinky.

My rigs Gibson sg 61' reissue, Texmex white fender strat, Epiphone Casino(which I love to death), Acoustics: A bad assed ibanez 12 string, its gorgeous. An epiphone ej200 jumbo.(natural) A Dean Ganjo. My moms old 70s alvarez which I lent to my sis, it doesnt have a bottom end but has gorgeous tone. And a Fender Jaguar bass. I have a crate 200 watt solid state, and a crate all tube(both have just 2X12 combo with 16 digital effects which mostly suck. And an Acoustic bass head and single 15"(I hooked my 12 string into this 2 weekends ago as it has a horn loaded tweeter and it sounded like heaven.

For effects all I run is a ts808 tubescreamer, vodoo labs superfuzz, and a fasel inducter crybaby wah. I think thats all.

Just added 2 more recordings I had on my pc, Nicky Times is a little jam my brother and I did. And strange excerpt was this part of a dorian recording I had made that sounded cool to me, so I cut and looped it, its sloppy.

+ times a day-fucked up,i know... bc of that i discourage ppl who have never IVd to not pick it up. i am brutally honest-probably more than i should be,but why hide who i am. took me over 30 years to realize i am a good person,i am human and i take responsibility for my choices in life.

Hey Thrillz, I was never super needle freaky. I only shot coke and meth each once. And heroin about 12 times. My latest set of rigs were 17 gauge and 4 inches long with a 15 ml luerlock. Thats what I od'd with. The bruising from that big bastard is ungodly. And it takes forever to see when youve hit cuz of how long the needle is. Im threw out my kit. Probably had 30 syringes, 12 needles, 25 .2um wheel filters and a shitload of alcohol wipes.

FUCK!!! 17 gauge...are you 8 ft tall and bullet proof??? holy shit-and i thought my days using a 25 gauge were rough. damn. where the fuck did you find a vein to handle that? mad respect for ditching your kit and quitting that shit.sucks that you OD'd and your lucky to be here. so am i. when i have steady bud connections-that is all i do-get stoned. i've gotten off of too much shit-like chem detox from alcohol and quitting opiates(hard core habits)on my own... i even have a fucked up leg and i'd rather deal w/ the pain than risk going through opiate WDs ever again.

anyway...how did you get into music? are you self taught or did you take lessons. i taught myself to play keyboard as a young child-5 or 6. i played the flute in middle school and was 1st chair in my school and 3rd chair in state. at 14 i got my 1st guitar and taught myself to play. i really did it bc i wanted to sing but a near fatal car accident in jan 2006 paralyzed my right vocal chord and i can no longer sing. i sang in high school and church-back when i did the religion thing-solos,show choir,even sang at my high school graduation in front of a crowd of about 3,000. then i left home for school and really got into it-first at parties-small and huge then in clubs across 3 states and although i never wanted to be a rock star-i was when i sang. i moved mother fuckers bc to look at little me and hear this fucking incredible raw yet sultry voice explode from me and see the look on ppls faces and hear that fucking applause and have standing ovations...it was powerful-spiritual. i still grieve over losing such a talent and since 2006 i've picked up my guitars only a handful of times. it hurts,but i miss playing. i am trying to force myself to pick it back up and go from a rhythm player singer to a fucking insane lead. David Gilmour is my fav...the 2 solos in "Comfortably Numb" are the most powerful solos to me. each one reflects the verse before...it's hard to explain and most ppl wld prob think i'm nuts-which i am but it's good crazy,not evil crazy.
wow,that made me a bit emotional and i am not communicating very well so let me cut to the chase...what would you recommend i do to get my ax back in hand? i want to re-learn to play like Gilmour,Clapton,Hendrix and so many more. i need some sort of structured plan to pick up the instrument i love most but have neglected terribly...it's either that or start fresh w/ the violin or cello.
sorry so long-the writer in me takes over and i tend to post novellas. lol
any advice???
 
17 gauge is what they use for blood draws as anything smaller shreds blood cells. Its doable but I wouldnt reccomend it.

For hand strength alone chording an acoustic for 2 weeks should do. Chord your acoustic until failure, then go to your electric to build dexterity. If your finger tips are too sore dab em with super glue. Im not that technically skilled. What I did that led to my best improvisation improvements was record a simple 3-5 chord repeating part. then play the appropriate scale over it. Use your tuner and you can play along with recordings. My favorite to jam over was Cream White Room. I think its just e minor blues scale. Thats my best advice. Like I said, Im not joe satriani.


Oh, how I got into it. When I was 14 I took intro to guitar after 3 years of trumpet. My dad said "Son, if you play guitar you'll get more puss than you'll know what do with". From then to 18 I basically just knew major chords and dicked around not advancing. When I went to community college I had a lot of free time and literally just wen to the library and checked out a book on guitar. It had blues, pentatonic, and dorian scales, and all the chords for each key. I just copied the pages with the scales and started working on them. At university I got my casino and became a raging alcoholic and would pop adderall and play 5 hours a night for maybe 10 months. That was my time of most intense growth as a guitarist. Then about 1 year ago while unemployed I decided I would learn how to play like hendrix, and spent 2 months working on the thumb barred chords. Now its second nature even on my 12 string. Learning new things is the only way to advance, practice time should be spent 50/50 on review and new material, but I usually am more like 99/1. I play for my own enjoyment.

Also with hendrix style is double stops. So from an A position major chord you slide up a whole step bar, and play 2 strings at once and hammer on and pull off with your ring finger, this works with the DGB strings, and on B you can bend it. Instead of playing the chord you can double stop the whole time and it adds a whole different flavor. Then on the chords you play in the E position, you use your pinky on the whole step from your bar on strings GBe.

I recorded a demo of the double stops for you. Its called Hendrix Style on http://www.myspace.com/emptyflaskcatastrophy. On the recording I misspoke, It starts on D5 double stops for D5 are done at E5 postion, then BM, then A Major G Major , I do it twice.
Its not in the list on the main page, you have to click See ALL Featured.

Dude, thanks! Had no idea. Cleaned up two unnecessary posts.

Gak- You are interesting as fuck!
 
@gak- sweet jesus... 17guage!?!.... get some insulin syringes... I don't iv/I'm but once in a blue moon these days but even back when I was a dilaudid junkie and doing it all day everyday I never have stuck myself with anything bigger than like a 26g

Go to the pharmacy and get some BD brand 1cc 28g x 1/2" insulin syringes... or 5/8-3/4" if your veins are harder to find (I'm skinny and my veins are shallow... so I like super short needles... if your huskier then a tad longer up to say 3/4" is better....
 
so hey, i'm back from my self-imposed internet exile, needed to catch up on my reading, school's starting soon and i'll have little time to slog through beckett's collected dramatic work once it starts. miserably broke once more. which fucking sucks. living on ramen and rolling tobacco for the time being, my own damned fault, got robbed for hanging around the wrong part of town at the wrong time, looking to score smack. eh drug habits... i'm all about done with them.
