Bluesape Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Cool Strat - you wear it up high for a big guy. 'Zan and A String have the Photobucket thing figured out, and they're both very helpful. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never!

LPCustom Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Although that's a valid URL to your picture. The forum code here doesn't like some of the characters. I think it has problems the "&" in the image URL. Supposedly tinypic and photobucket have urls that don't have those characters. A String and GuitarZan can help you make it work, though.

I put that guitar together from "pieces-parts". I wear it high because the strain is too much on my right wrist if I wear it low. See, I had to switch from playing righty to lefty, and pushed myself to regain my chops, stressed my fretting hand/arm and now it's vulnerable. Besides, if it's good enough for Roy Buchanan...

Bluesape Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Nothin' wrong with wearin' it high - it would cramp the hell out of my arms, though. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Strat; you need a comfier strap, though! You just can't see the solar panel in back, is all... I dunno, my wife is always after me about how wearing my guitar or mandolin on a strap is not ergonomic and is giving me neck and shoulder problems. I don't think so, and I never experience discomfort that seems directly related to playing. In fact I feel most relaxed when I'm playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 How come you had to switch from righty to lefty? Are you a natural lefty? I know quite a few natural lefties that play righty, for a variety of reasons... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hmmmnn, works for me... Make sure that you delete out anything and everything that's already in the slot where you paste the URL info- in this case, http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/cft3/guitargod1.jpg - so that there's NOTHING in there at all before you paste in the copied URL (as above). Then, be sure to click on the "Set URL" toggle, and wait for the displayed image in the upper left of that 'page to change to what you want it to be, before you exit out of that 'page. Finally, be sure to click on the "Update Profile" toggle at the bottom of your Profile 'page, as well (I almost didn't do that this time, myself). It may take a little while for the network formed by your computer and servers in between it and the MP Forum's server(s) to reflect the change; generally, once you post a new topic or reply, the new image will be displayed on the new post and begin to supplant that on the previous ones.

Mass Effect Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I'm thinking he's either not deleting the http that's already in the url bar to begin with or just not scrolling down and clicking "update profile". http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/fragend/confused-smiley-013.gif quote:Originally posted by mdrs: It's pure B.S., and obvioulsy inaccurate.

Chad Thorne Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ta-da! Thanks, guys! Besides my Strat, this pic features the green shirt that I love, but which my wife hates because it's too big and makes me look like the side of a barn... Tedster, I had to switch because in 1980, after about 15 years of playing righty, I sustained an injury to my left arm that caused some nerve damage that prevents me from fretting with that hand.

Caevan O’Shite Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Wait, that's me! Ehrr, wait, I'm you! Ehrr, I mean, uhh... Wearing your favorite shirt while playing a great guitar is very important! Now I can go back to being me... sort of...

Yeah, your using a picture of me as your avatar seems like a kind of hero worship which, while flattering, is unnecessary... Thanks again, Caev!
