Sat night the guitar player missed a bar chord by one fret, oh was it bad. For fun I played a half fret out for the whole ride and the band about fell off of the stage.

One member of the crowd said they didn't notice a thing except all the bad was having a lot of fun.

Makes me wonder why I spent all of these years trying to play in tune. HA HA HA

As Vince Gill recently remarked to Tommy White on the GOO, "What's a half step amoung friends?" after Tommy and the band were a half step out of sync during Tommy's opening ride on stage!!

Someone needs to find that post and let us revisit it here!

What happened at the Vince performance was the band was all OK, and had agreed to modulate for the Steel solo.

Tommy was the only one who remembered to modulate!

If your a guitar player never ask a steel player to give you an E to tune to unless you wanna be a half step flat or sharp. Do all steel players love to pull that old trick on us gullible guitar players?
