here are some tunings i use on the guitars
I mainly use open E and I’m starting to use open G
Standard tuning E-A-D-G-B-E (Eric And Duane’s Guitar Beats Everything)
Open G: D-G-D-G-B-D (the most common slide tuning, EC’s favourite Dobro tuning).
Open E: E-B-E-G#-B-E (Duane’s favorite tuning, Delta Blues, stress for the neck)
Open D: D-A-D-F#-A-D (also with capo for open E)
I must admit its nice to get comments on my blog posts and trackbacks
but I’m getting spammed so I’ve disabled them sorry but sick of emails every day for them for no reason!!
TA TA !!
quick fox for licence problems with mac osx – i just remove the licence and test from then on…
because of the decency and respect of john the landlord of the golden lion pub last night after the first spot he came over and asked us to turn down just a notch and because of having the same conversation with members of the band a few of the lads may not agree with me and the way I work this reminds me to write this blog before i forget.
we played the stonewell tavern about a month ago, personally i have been going in the pub for over 20 years and like a pint or a glass of wine in the pub on a thursday at the jazz session or over the weekend when they have various bands on. now I’m not saying our band isn’t loud but the lass behind the bar chirped up while were sound checking saying she was shutting the place down if we played that loud, i went out front and listened and it didn’t seem quite bad considering the place was empty and the volume would get absorbed when the people we had coming to see us came in. so we started our set after few songs the land lady started to shout across the room from behind the bar at me saying turn down which i said ok and went to tell the band and then some other random woman chirped up and interfered which made her start up again shouting at me while i was performing on the stage so i asked her to carry on with her job and i will sort the band then she got high rate and told me i was rude so by this point I’m boiling so i told her she was annoying me and was ready for packing down my equipment, I’ve never had this happen to me in over 20 years of playing and personally will not put up with it fair enough if other band members want to allow this happen to them thats there choice in this case I’m not putting up with she can screw herself she is a jumped up bad excuse for a landlady end of. So i gets of stage the lass behind the bar says you going to apologise were i replied I will if she does for being so unprofessional so then I said I’m sorry so she said she wasn’t so i retracted my apology and basically barred myself from the pub. She said all the band had apologised which was a lie as my honourable band member and cousin jimmy never and said she was out of order, so thanks for the loyalty i really appreciate the honour and decency for you to look at the situation properly. So apart from getting electric shocks from the dodgy wiring and the piano taking up half the stage I’m really pissed of about it because it aint a bad pub and i like gerry but i aint playing in the pub again till i either get an apology or the place gets a new landlord well land lady. Plenty more other band places in lancaster to play instead. I also consulted my farther and other decent musicians for there option and they say I’m correct so to the other people who may disagree with me man up get a set of balls and don’t be walked over by somebody who just manages a pub whoopee shit anybody can do it, i don’t care if she is apparently a nice person i think she is a disrespectful old boot and can go and suck egg wind – end off – check out my google review aswell I haven’t finished there trust me more to come don’t like it read this TUFF SHIT.
1. Good gig at the golden lion last night, we had richard on drums as our drummer pulled in the week and didnt want to let the place down! we got a one hour rehearsal in at the coop before the gig at the music coop were two things went wrong, number they turned the electric off without any warning which isnt good for the tubes on my amp so im going to suggest they let bands know about this fair enough you pay for time and they chop the electric but who pays for the knackered valves o my tube amp? ok we mentioned you are meant to watch you watch but why do i want to watch that when im rehearsing in a zone? i cant see some kind of indication IE a light that flashes in the room warning you 5 minutes before costing that much money to implement? certainly a lot less than a full set of replacement tubes for my orange amp?… then i gets outside and in the same place ive been parking my car for over 20 years ive got a damn parking ticket? I couldnt see no sign so i went and had a look this morning and there is a sign but on the other side so im going to the council that traffice warden is a wanker and should play by the rules. any way the gig was great! it was looking empty around 8.45 but by 9.15 the place was cooking!! went down a treat. John the landlord came up to us after the first set and set bloody great but can we notch it down just a slight touch which was decent of him well certainly better than the stupid cow in the stonewell tavern who has a full on argument while your performing on the stage but thats another story….. overall great night though. I took the new gibson in that i bought for a G tuned slide guitar and played it in concert instead of the thunderbird, i have to say a great guitar the only thing that lets it down is the single coil pickup which yes its a cost saving guitar but single coil and gibsons just dont go im afraid do im either going to put on a seymour p90 or a seymour humbucker… hard choice. The gibson junior i got sports a p90 and sounds amazing and the thunderbird has humbuckers and sounds amazing but cant figure which is best!! im thinking p90…. have to say im glad i swapped the strat for it as the guitar i once loved was sat in the corner gathering dust, the one i said id never get rid of simply couldnt cut it after i bought the thunderbird and got the gibson bug!!!! anyway great pub the golden lion in lancaster get your assss in and try some of there traditional ales or maybe a hendricks gin if they got some cucumber?……!..
HOW TO RESET WINDOWS TERMINAL SERVICES 3 MONTH TRIAL
Make sure you’ve installed “Terminal Services Licensing”. By the way, this method only makes sense if you need to use Terminal Services in Application Mode, which is the one that requires licensing.
The idea is quite simple.
First, disconnect all users from the terminal. If you need to do this remotely, you can also disconnect yourself, and access the files remotely.
Go to %WINDIR%\system32\lserver
Notice the file TSLIC.edb. Rename it to tslic.old
In every client computer, remove the CAL TS registry keys, located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
Restart your server.
Or change laptop /computer name
In every client computer, remove the CAL TS registry keys, located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
Restart machine
When double clicking on remote desktop software for 1st time
Right click on remote desktop and run as administrator
