I now have a completely rejected and revived rig. All 3 separate pieces rejected in their own way.
The guitar...was broken and unused for years.
I fixed it this summer when I installed a new pickup.
The Amp head I tried to sell and was forced to take it back from the consignment store because of an awful buzzing sound that magically disappeared when I brought it home.
the speaker...
was an old combo amp from the 70's that got fried in a flood years ago...
I took a jack from the footswitch input...cut the wires...cut wires from the board to the speaker and attached the jack directly to the speaker...
then I ran the amp head through that and POOF!
SOUND!!
My revived platform all thanks to redonkulous injenuity and luck.
and the beat goes on with jangly vintage sounding guitars.

12 string?
Twid,
Hates the word jangly. Occasionally plays a 12 string.
I think jangly is a cool word.
What does it mean? :lulz:

It means a reviewer heard a 12 string guitar. :lulz:
They don't know how else to describe it.

Oh. That sound. Ok. Jangly. I like that.
Coyote, terrible person.
No, I like jangly too. I wouldn't have 2 12 strings if I didn't. I just wish there was more than one word for it.
What it is, is that 8 of the 12 strings are tuned an octave apart. So, you got the low E string, and the string right next to it is tuned to the E on the second fret on the D string (two strings away on a 6 string). The B string and the high E are tuned to the same pitch, but often are slightly out of tune with each other. Which also adds to the jangly.

I dunno why but it makes me think of elves and hobbits and killing (running from ) dragons.

There's a reason for that. Medieval instruments often have coursed stringed instruments. A 6 string guitar has one course, meaning there's only one of each string. 12 strings and mandolins are 2 coursed. Matter of fact, a mandolin is basically a two-coursed violin played with a pick instead of a bow. Lutes have 3 courses. That would hurt my fucking fingers.

We're a little off tempo, and my guitar has a shite capo on it. (In before holist.)
Also, that's Anne Marie's sister playing violin.

Oh that reminds me....that the internet hates me and I can't find what I wanted in relation to mandolins and metalness...

There's a certain cheese factor adding mando to metal. But it's gotta be done. It's like broccoli in cheese sauce.
Also, sorry for the threadjack. If you want a split, let the admins know.

I'll admit the flaws of this performance. I include it because I think it's a pretty good vocal performance. And I was being snarky here. Gotta admit though, it was a funny comment.
Truth be told, I bought a new capo after this. That one was pissing me the fuck off.

I'm afraid that's somewhat wrong. A "course" is a group of strings that are close together and are fingered and plucked together. Instrument with sets of three are quite rare (probably due to the finger-hurt factor). A three-course lute would have three pairs of strings, and in fact a twelve-string guitar has 6 courses. Lutes come in very many shapes, sizes and string configurations, but most of them have two-string courses with the exception of one or two courses, which are often single-string ones.

Right right. Got that a bit backwards.
I dunno about Bon Jovi being jangly. When I think of jangly I think more of a sound like REM, or Toad the Wet Sprocket. It's that folky-yet-rock-kinda-southern-but-not-twangy sound.
