...I posit that playing Gittar in the dark on acid is one of the most exalted activities to which humankind may aspire...
Yerknow - they say that Keyboards are Simple - because all the Notes are plainly laid out. But being a Gittarhead - the spacing of tones & semitones just throws me completely off. Gittar may sem complicated with a net of six strings & so many frets - but in fact it is about Shapes you can drop anywhere...

"The country is named for its capital, the City of Djibouti. The etymology of the name is disputed. Several theories and legends exist regarding its origin, varying based on ethnicity. One theory derives it from the Afar word gabouti, meaning "plate", possibly referring to the geographical features of the area.[13] Another connects it to gabood, meaning "upland/plateau".[14] Djibouti could also mean "Land of Tehuti" or "Land of Thoth (Egyptian: Djehuti/ Djehuty)", after the Egyptian Moon God."

RevRab: Yeah, my paws are too big for the fiddle, but the bass suits me fine. The notes are pretty far apart at the bottom, but as you go up the neck they get closer. You can actually tune it either in 5ths (classical) or 4ths (jazz/blues/rock). One time I asked my teacher if I should try tuning in 5ths, he said "Yeah you can try that if you want, but then you'll have to find a new teacher.". R.
