No.

Being a believer doesn't make you a scholar and my guess is few of us on this forum have the scholarly chops to seriously debate any religion's compatibility with another.

Speak for yourself.

Christians should read the Koran. There you will find that Mohammed instructed his followers to follow the teachings of Jesus Chapter and verse please? I missed that the first time around... http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e1196 That is not compatible with Christian teaching. S...

WELLLL...I have 2 thoughts on this subject. 1. If I wake up in the morning and there's no roots growing in my face..I'm probably good for another day. 2. I practice every day trying to get better with my pickin.... cause when I meet up with old Saint Pete..I'm gonna say..." hey man I brought m...

Opinions are what the man asked for, I believe.

...I am quite happy with it that way - don't need any "constructed shelters" to protect me from whatever that same reality and increased understanding of it may bring now or some time in the future. Neither do I, I just want to know. And when someone asks a question about existence I try ...

Mike Perlowin wrote:I define dogma as somebody who says "My way is the ONLY way.

That is not correct theological usage, but if I were to use your own definition, your statement would be, well, dogmatic.

Michael W. ... as a though-experiment: if you leave out that and all related man-made dogmas and religious beliefs, what will be left? That's where I am and have been for a long time, and it is more than enough - for me. It's kinda like this: if "dogma" is defined as authoritative tenets ...

Bill McCloskey wrote:I draw a distinction between spirituality and religion.

That's one particular dogma I have been questioning for years, but I will refrain from doing so here.

Well, I am not 82 but I think having nearly died three times in my lifetime qualifies me to speak on this topic. One time, lying on the operating table, I prayed to whoever is up there that if it was my turn to vacate the planet I was down with that, but if all possible I wanted to spend more time w...

I suppose I should be flattered that this guy reproduced my neck design. He even put one of my brass nuts on it. He says he's retiring, so to quote him, "My niche is safe". That's good to know and I'm satisfied he's telling the truth at this point. So go buy his version of my invention an...

I also believe that tone is in the hands, but that can only go so far. No matter what your hands say, the factors that are involved in a good quality sound have a lot to do with good quality equipment and how it's constructed. Of course, there are things that influence a guitar's sound. I have smal...

albert really likes them. kind of strat like in tone and feel....he gets a beautiful lyrical tone out of them and can be a monster on the 'wanger' bar. if he's happy, i'm happy. of course we all love teles, but whatever makes you comfortable enough to be a great picker is good! i would say every gu...

I have a copy of Brad Paisley's album "Play". On it there is a cut named "Cluster Pluck" featuring James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, John Jorgenson, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert and Steve Wariner. I guess their guitars are all about the same vintage, all Teles unless I miss my ...

This is true - a 30's fedora hat.

Lap Dawg for both.

I'm a total noob when it comes to lap steel. (I've played guitar for 25+ years but this thing is all new to me!) I got one for Xmas and have dabbled off and on with it since then. I was originally shown some things in E7 tuning, and, although I do plan to dabble in that a bit more (for blues and ro...

OK, my wife & you guys have talked me in to staying with it. Guess I'll just try to do a little of both. I never have been satisfied with my playing so I thought it might be time to move on. But I still like my electrics and want to learn how to play them. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix...

Well I've about decided to end my Steel Guitar playing after 28 years. I've never really got that good on them, so I think it's time to concentrate my afforts more at learning how to play lead. I've got my Telecaster's sittin here just callin out and saying "PLAY ME NICK" :lol: I think th...

Let me start with this. I can play the good ole fun sweet sounding tunes from back in the day. But I kinda wanted to let some of the new players realize the PSG isn't limited to one genre. I entered this contest which is the second reason for the video. Also I did a no-no as far as tilting forward....

I like my Fender Champion 600.

I have often said that musicians as a group are egomaniacs and guitar players are the worst. I have seen enough of them and been one myself. Although I mostly play for myself these days or play in church (I usually get drafted for "contemporary" music) the last memorable band I was in was ...

Michael, the price is certainly right on those strings - but they come with the dreaded .026w third string. Dobro players have been telling the string suppliers for years to lose the lighter .026w and go to a .028w or .029w and most have listened. I am new at this so I wasn't aware of the shortcomi...

I'm going to give these guys a try on my next go-around:
