"No harmonic knowledge, no sense of time, a ghastly tone, unskilled vibrato, and so on. Chuck is one of the worst guitar players I know" -Gravity Jim
Not for guitar specifically, but sure, I remember newsgroups like that. Far too clunky. Modern forums are much better.
I even remember bulletin board systems, which predated newsgroups. I'd dial into 'em with my 1200-baud modem. Anybody remember Fidonet?
The web is better.

Haven't been there in years. Fat Willie was a guy I remember from there.
I used to hang on the Prodigy Blues BBS eons ago, when I thought I was a blues player. I then graduated to the Amps 'n More private dial-up BBS. Back when folks were rediscovering RDH 3rd Edition, and Tremaine's AudioCyclopedia. Back when you could buy NOS tubes for $1 each at hamfests.....
You had 12000 baud modems? I remember 300 baud and 110 baud modems with acoustic couplers.

I have posts on there from over 15 years ago...
"Oh, Mister D.J.,
I keep wondering why you don't play much blues anymore
I don't know what you got against me
Whatever it is, I sure would like to know"
I used to use newsgroups when I was with Compuserve. Lost all my access when I switched ISPs. Sad, but it was lost newsgroups or keep paying through the nose for internet connection.
Ahh, eNostalgia.
i bet this really annoy's you if your a grammar freak.
I active was on rec.music.makers.bass and alt.guitar in the early '90s. probably 92-94ish
A buddy of mine ran a BBS in the late '80s and early '90s. I'd dial in with my 1200baud modem from work to play text based games. Somethings never change! LOL!
I remember those newsgroups! Seemed miraculous at the time. Anyone remember Lord Valve? What an arrogant wanker he was....but he knew his stuff.

that can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."
I was always more into rec.beatles or whatever. They had a Beatle expert moderator who took a dislike to me, so it was fun to pull her chain.
