I play bass pretty decently already, so I don't know much about guitar but I know all of the fundamentals and stuff that translates over.

So far it's much harder. The sole reason why I bought a guitar was because I was getting tired of the limitations bass set without installing more strings. But it's fun so far, dicking around with the chords i'm learning like the D chord or whatever.

I bought a guitar once and quit within a month and sold it. But you already :rock

:rock

Please post some update how hard normal guitar playing is in comparison to bass guitar ok?

I've played both, very little, but the bass was always much much easier than the guitar.

I could beatmatch and mix with a MIDI controller, that's about as close as I come to an "instrument"... and I've programmed drum patterns on a 909 emulator once. Though I want to get that Korg DS game...

I inexplicably just bought this on a whim from Amazon.co.uk. On a whim. Because it's not available in the U.S. on Blu-ray. On a whim.  ???

Loved the movie and the book, so why not? Have a huge list of blu-rays I want to buy that just isn't getting smaller, don't know why I started with this, though.

After 15yrs of having shitty PC chair at home, I splurged on this beauty:

(http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/asworkshop/cabinet/hara/nietzsche_or.jpg)

I tried it out in a furniture store, then scored it online for $150 or so less. Steal. The sections hug and support the buttcheeks in a very pleasant fashion indeed.

I need to take video of it i think; it's really interesting how it moves to support you when you sit on it or lean back.

It's by a firm called 'Hara Chair' btw, the model is called 'Nietzsche' for some reason. I like 'Baboon Ass' better though :lol

Yeah. They fold in and clench your cheeks when you sit down. As soon as i sat down, i was like oooooh, this is niiiiiice.

The only way it could be improved is if the seat was made of thin mesh, like the uber-awesome Herman Miller chairs we have at work. That stops them from getting sweaty over long periods. They're way out of my price range though.

I've seriously thought about putting on some overalls, grabbing a clipboard, and just walking out with one of the unattended ones in the office.
