I would call it Frances, because that is more fun.
Exactly, and just to spell it out, Black Frances, because your Les Paul is black.
Great post, would read again.
Actually kind of agree with your premise, with the exception that now that you mention it, Balrog sounds like a great name for the right guitar.
maybe i need to hire it then... because that's what i thought was missing when i saw it at the movies
Don't get me wrong, the scenes aren't very long and they're mostly just mini-jams, but I dug the vibe there. It was cool to hear Jimmy ask about Seven Nation Army and talk about Kashmir.
Aside from some retarded questions the press conference was cool. I liked hearing their thoughts on the finished film.
Ok, I finally got the DVD. Really digging the extra scenes, especially the ones where they're just hanging out talking about Kashmir and Seven Nation Army- not because the jams are so awesome but because they just seem like guitar players hanging out. Have yet to listen to the commentary...

Rhythm is so hard that most guitarist cant even spell it. Have a look in this thread for proof.
Remember children, Rhythm =
Rythmn Has Your Two Hips Moving.
Its very important that if you cant do it you can at least spell it.
It's essential.
When beginners are learning their chord shapes I tell them to stay on one and practice strumming in different rhythms. I think developing rhythm skills may be the single most overlooked aspect of guitar playing when starting out.
Yes. I carry it with me all the time. Easy to tune up guitars in stores and I like it's accuracy. You can see it anywhere and you don't have to be able to hear the guitar. Very cool. +1 to all of this. I happen to like it very much. Doesn't feel real durable but I've had it probably a year and haven't had any problems with it.
I like Jimmy and the Edge more than Jack but I appreciate that they picked him and not someone more like the other 2. I think the unique perspective of each player both in era and choice of music adds to the richness of the film, which I feel comes primarily from the highlighting of what they hold in common despite their differences.
I think you have to go into it knowing This is not a concert or performance film per se.
It seems to me to be about 3 individual guitar players and what shapes their love for music and performance. It's about their individual stories more than anything else - something I appreciate, as I also appreciate the adoration with which the film approaches the instrument itself. I loved it.
