As title, if you could click your fingers or download into your brain ( matrix style) and instantly have the knowledge and skills to be an expert at one thing, what would it be?
Mine would have to be guitar I think, can't play it at all but I know this would give me the most enjoyment.

I'm with specialone on this - knowing how to play the guitar would be right up there. In my youth I spent all my hard-earned (about 300 quid) on a guitar and it would be great to actually know more than 3 chords. Specially as my eldest is getting interested and I can teach him virtually nothing! Mind you, 3 chords was enough for Status Quo...

I've always maintained that learning guitar is easy!! Really easy. I reckon I could teach specialone to play guitar to within a reasonable level within a month.
All you need to do is learn to move your hands into a A C D E G F B position and you could play every oasis song or other song you want. Whislt it may not be precise it would get you playing along. Enough to spark something to get you willing yourself on.

It's true there are some chords that require some stretches but the fact it's the basic ones don't. And the difference between hitting two notes and once and the intended note is dexterity, which will only come with practice. There are plenty of guitarists with bigger fingers than you that make a career out of it.

I never tune mine by ear, I used to until I started jammin with much more talented people, and found the guitar has always been out of tune(embarrassingly), although intune with itself :(.
I have a little box I got for a fiver, it hears you play a string that flashes red or green for in or out.

That simply isn't true... You can't just reverse the gender, you lose the tenderness in the process and, of course, 'cause it's a double standard. The sex industry proved that a long time ago..
Owenski
19-10-11, 10:03 AM
The gender reversal is to prove the logic, the logic been that Its incest! Im concerned about how many people are defending it, what sort of forum have I joined here. Do me a favour count all your fingers and toes and confirm you've 10 of each please.
Pokey pokey sibling is baaaaaddddd, be it same sex or not. Imagine ur a female and you've got a girlfriend who one day asks her brother to join in the fun, at what point do you say "hang on... this isnt for me". Hopefully its before you find yourself smoking a cig and recounting the disgcusting act that has just taken place.
andreis
19-10-11, 10:19 AM
Well, dear sir, since we are talking logic, let me introduce to you the proof of incest:
You have 2 parents, each of which has 2 parents (your grandparents), each of which has 2 parents and so on.
So, your ancestors grow in number as a power of 2 as you go back in history... Which means, N generations ago, you required 2^N different ancestors.. But hold on, the total population of the earth is finite, hence there exists a level of ancestry, N_0, for which 2^N_0 > total_earth_population... which means some of your ancestors must of coincided, e.g. someone played the pokey pokey with his wives sister and they all lived to have children (and he was probably already related to said sisters..)
So you see, mathematically, we are all based on incest :D
How's that for perverted science?

However evolution would mean that during that original incestuous act its impossible the mating couple would have been homo sapian, homo ergester is our direct assention from apes but still animal in both appearance and mentality. and we all know animals simply dont give a do hicky what they pokey pokey lol so the guilty ones in your equation had no concept of morality.

Nowt wrong with doing two sisters, even on more than one or two occasions ;-)
Though those two sisters didn't actually meet until a year or two beforehand, so I guess the dynamic is different.
One of those two sisters quite liked a Menage a Trois as it turned out, the other one I lived with for 6 years.
My view, whilst you're young, live your life! ;-)
There's loads of time for monogamy, kids and a lifelong commitment, and IMO if you've played the field when your young, your better equipped to succeed in marriage. I've never been near another woman in the 10 years since I met my wife anyway.

First time it happened was early hours of the morning, the three of us were sitting/lying on the bed drinking, chatting, listening to music, started playing spin the bottle, there was a question about sexual experiences, conversation turns to menage a trois, the sister wanted to try it, girlfriend agreed. Right place at the right time.
