Jack is probably one of the best unknown guitarists there is. And he plays mostly cheap Squire guitars. However he is so good, any guitar he plays he sounds awesome on. I saw a video of him playing Duane Allman’s SG and he was awestruck. Did you know that Dickey gave his SG to Duane because he didn’t like to wait on Duane to retune during live shows on his Les Paul? That was after Fillmore and not long before Duane died. Duane has been my favorite guitarist since 1971 when I was 16. -
@Texas10pt_MLBTS Jack is also just an incredibly humble and nice guy.
Go to YouTube and find a video of Jack and Tommy Emmanuel playing Avalon together on two acoustics. I am the one who filmed that.

Tried the DQ. Won every moment/showdown. Got Springer.
Played the second stadium game. Set it on veteran because I didnt want to risk itFirst inning, single, stole second and third. Ground ball > thrown out at home.
Second inning: single. stole second and third with 1 out. perfect perfect line out
Third inning: perfect perfect fly ball to deep center (with the exit velo perk and 102 power)
fourth inning: another thrown runner out at home, and another perfect perfect fly out
fifth inning two run homer
bottom of the fifth: 2 run homerwon game in seventh. did not get card. At least I didnt lose Springer, but I think I am done with the game for the year

Hi Guys, ha ha. That second chord is just D with the F# bass note on top. That Beatles All You Need is Love little downward riff. And yup - G, Bb, C. I remember right before I left home for college, yelling the chord changes to my Dad who was feeling no pain and talking to one of his Army Buddies on the phone. Oh my God. The Fillmore East album came out when I was 4 and my parents wore out their copy. They were both in their late teens when I came along and always seemed to be fighting when Whipping Post was playing. My Dad was a bass player mostly. As the song goes, I know all the chords but I’m strictly rhythm, I never made it cry or sing.
-
I'm kinda embarrassed that I did not recognize the D chord even after knowing that the F# was in the bass.

Tommy is a fellow Aussie so I was lucky enough to see him live many a time in my youth.I saw Tommy and Slava Grigoryan many times, despite largely growing up an emo/hardcore music fan in the early 2000s.

I know it's not baseball and it's definitely cheese .... but if you get a guy on third base against cpu and you absolutely need that run, you can take a 3 step lead and they will throw over 3 times and balk you home .... I have only been picked off maybe 1-2% of the time this year.
Taking a lead on first base is an entirely different situation though.
-
Never take a lead at first vs cpu your rate of being picked off is super high. Always steal without the lead, 99% success rate of stealing 2nd.
