Location: When??		You have any??

One for me is that I always.. always.. play an intentionally fouled up chord with some dead strings or a fret buzz as the very last sound before I put a guitar away. Another one is.. well.. maybe later.

So I'm a weird duck. Certainly no big news there. I'm just curious if there are any others who'd care to divulge their own instrument superstitions/traditions.

After doing that, I would be afraid that she would use that "G" for a Garrote!! Never close both eyes at one time after making that doozie of a mistake! LOL!!!

You guys are Hilarious!!! I Love It!!!
I think the only reason that I am not superstitious, is because I never remember what I do from one time to the next, on any given thing. It makes it hard to re-do any one thing time after time.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I don't know of any "superstitions" other than Not letting strangers play my guitar.
That's not really a superstition...
If you come up to me outta nowhere and ask to play my guitar, you are an asshole.
If you want to play other people's guitars, go to Guitar Center.

Location: Utah		Superstitions? No. Traditions, yes. There's one particular song which is the first I play on a newly acquired guitar, and the last song I play on it when I sell it to a new owner. Weird? Yup.

Location: When??		@Arthur-- "Not letting strangers play my guitar."

I can go with that, too., Arthur. Musical instruments can definitely have a personal boundary line. In fact, if a 'total stranger' is THAT close to my guitar I would probably be concerned by how/why they got that close to it in the first place.

That's a good one, FlySig. Doesn't seem weird to me. I do the same thing with new computers since way back in the 80's. The VERY first thing I do with a new computer is type out the full first verse to Bennie and the Jets, then keep it on there for the life of the machine. Where that superstition came from I do not remember.. lol.. but I have done it a few dozen times.

Location: When??		Damon.. that was fun to watch, no doubt.. but I'm still with Cavalier.. hoping for a wine glass slide with no spillage. Heck, even with spillage would be fine as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, good show.. thanks for posting.
