Ask Scott Grove Answers Part 5

[@groovydjs]

Many thanks my friend and spread some love back your way! VERY APPRECIATED!

[@keithg1313]

Scott, thanks for answering my question and looking forward to the road stories. I'm really sorry to hear about your health. Chin up and everything, many of us enjoy your words and insight . Thank you.

[@groovydjs]

I appreciate it Chris, I was going to give the EXACT same advice.

[@groovydjs]

I love the RP200. I've got like 4 of them right here! I've done plenty of gigs with just one of those and nothing else, no amp, no nothing....turned out great!

[@groovydjs]

I agree, I think that it's a must!

[@groovydjs]

I think that most are simply ignorant to how they work. They are virtually flawless. There are even others that run each string on a separate spring and even if you break a string, all of the others stay in tune. Nice feature. For everybody else, there's the Digitech Whammy Pedal if it just eludes them all together.

[@Kyuslydian]

Hey Scott. I love your videos. I've watched a fair few of them now. I must say I'm looking forward to the road stories videos.

[@groovydjs]

Thanks so much Tyler! It's been a fun ride for sure and I hope to bug the hell out of people for another year or so! As long as I can stay on my feet, I'll be raising some kind of hell just to piss off the traditionalists and such and to have some good fun with my great friends! Cheers to you my GREAT FRIEND!

[@groovydjs]

You rock Keith my friend!. The road stories could easily get blocked on here, but.....so be it. It's a WHOLE BUNCH of truth. No different than any other DOCUMENTARY out there. So, I'll shoot it, post it and see how it all plays out. Cheers. lol

[@groovydjs]

I'd be honored my friend. You name it and I'm there, wherever it is.

[@xkukubax]

nice to see you in good spirits, Scott!

[@wishwizard100]

21:36 i was practicing along nicely, but i lost it (in a good way) on the turd word... Cheers, Scott. Great series, man.

[@cordovanbee]

Love the frankness. You are doing a really Great production, this is Groovy!!!! Wide seats/ Kardashian....LOL thanks dave

[@jasonlangford2689]

Yes musicians JOKES! A Whole series please.

[@groovydjs]

LOL. I hate that I know the words. But, some of that stuff is so infectious if it's pounded in your brain enough. Especially when I have to DJ a bunch of school dances in a row. The SHATNER stuff is always great! Gotta love it. I loved Stewie's take on Shatner's "Rocket Man" on Family Guy. Classic!

[@groovydjs]

Yes it is.

[@groovydjs]

I hear you my friend. Neither of them are getting any younger and at some point....they have to go up for auction (if they are not donated to the Hard Rock or something). If I'm still alive, I'll put my bids in for sure.

[@ShaunOGX]

Cheers Scott - made my day hearing you read out and answer my question about when a beginner can call themselves a musician and I can now move forward as a result. So far i am up to part 6 of "Ask Scott Anything". Some challenge you took on there i must say!. Here in the UK you would be known as one of life's characters and what an amazing life you have had so far and I do hope it goes on longer than you think it will. S

[@kammhron]

Thanx for the past 5 hours of " answers".It has been a gas! I learned some good stuff. I learned that there is a new instrument out there called the 'Bone-a-Phone"! Heee Hee.

[@groovydjs]

Yeah, I'll take all late requests as well my good friend!

[@groovydjs]

LOL, My pleasure. Yeah, the Bone-A-Phone, Skin Flute, Meat Whistle and any other names that people can come up with. I'm sure that those can't be the only 3. lol

[@christhesnaildriver]

Scott, like others have said, you will be greatly missed whenever the time comes. And also as others have said, the first time I watched one of your videos I did take you the wrong way, but so glad I subscribed and kept watching. I so wish more people had your views on life and everything else. I really appreciate your frankness and sense of humour too! I can't stand the majority of folk who live live like sheep following the herd and talk bullsh*t all the time!

[@groovydjs]

I have a few laptops here with cameras. I could probably hook that up via Skype or something. It would be fun. You know, I've always wanted that pinball machine myself and my wife loves pinball as well, so it would be no problem to put one in here and she would continute to play it after I kick the bucket. I'm having a hard time finding one withing 200 miles of here to go pick up. They all seem to be on the East Coast for some reason. If one shows up in Las Vegas, It's mine!

[@groovydjs]

I'll have to catch up on the Mickey Moused and McGyvered gear for sure. lol

[@aaronmcbryer3980]

Thank you so much for answering my questions even if you weren't terribly sure about what/who they are.Also,absolutely loved the Married With Children reference,it's my favorite show.Christina Applegate(Kelly,of course) is definitely my number one babe!I own two one-of-a-kind autographed photos of her.

[@TheButtonMashers]

That groupie story. Everybody goes right XD! So, she was painted white like KISS, too funny.

[@groovydjs]

I guess until you stop listening. I'm going to keep going and going and going until each and every question is answered. I keep my promises.

[@marklofaso9201]

Been watching your videos all day learning and laughing. I have this time because I'm fighting cancer and and man do I identify with part of your struggle...we're too young for this shit. You're right, life ain't fair. I'm not gonna pretend I know what you're going thru otherwise. Just knowing that my expiration date statistically has been moved up changes everything. In the meantime. I respect that you aren't sure about God. I'm sure God led me here today b/c I needed encouraging. Thank you.

[@groovydjs]

I 100% agree. We should pass a law that states that if a player isn't to a certain "Level" by a certain point due to lack of practice, they should simply hand over their shit to someone who can use it. lol

[@mikelandreth]

Hey you showed a fiddle . Can you post a lesson ? Getting my Grandfathers fixed now. Thanks Mike

[@groovydjs]

Sometimes it just has to be said. lol

[@groovydjs]

I watch at least 6 episodes of Married With Children every morning. They are all on in a row before I go to bed. I keep looking at those breasteses and feeling so sorry for the fact that they are laying in a garbage dump somewhere being eaten by a bunch of birds and grub worms. WOW!

[@Kyuslydian]

I almost spat my coffee when I heard that. Go right it's the bro code!

[@groovydjs]

LOL, my pleasure. Yeah, I bit off a whole bunch for sure! I'll put together another 4 hours tonight and upload them as fast as my slow ass connection in this dust bowl of a town will allow. lol

[@masterstacker2833]

I have always enjoyed your videos. What ever happened to the one where you called out the good and bad PA speakers? Also the one where you trashed 2 way PA speakers. These are the grooviest, Dr. Groovy, but I can't find them.

[@M.M_Music]

Hi scott. Im just curious as to what you think about the Digitech RP200. Keep up the good work!

[@hanoibomb]

Of all the 1959 bursts out there (all, like there's a ton of 'em, right?), the two most befitting your wall would be Aces' 9-1878, or Pauls' 9-1876. Would be killer, man!

[@sloeleek]

I think i seen you in a keith whitley video on that ralph guys show out of nashville?

[@groovydjs]

It's the world we live in now. The vintage folks will be dying off soon and people will be bringing less and less gear and getting better and better sounds.

[@bondovxm]

Any recommended source for a standard set of measurements so that make my own fingerboard and saw fret slots. Odd maybe, but I make instruments, not fretted yet. Thanks Dave (wolf)

[@TopDawg6800]

Yes

[@groovydjs]

I have no clue how the Beatles became what they were, but........I don't see how most people ever got a record deal either. Hell, they handed over awards after awards to "Milli Vanilli" and they never sang a note. Shows you what the corporate "Suits" that own all of the recording industry REALLY know. lol

[@christhesnaildriver]

Hi matey, have a look on the Stewart Macdonald website. On the left lower down somewhere is a link to their tech articles and there is a scale length and fret position calculator. StewMac aren't always a good thing but that tool might give you a start. (Sorry Scott for answering for you ;-) hehe....)

[@fretzombie]

Hey Scott, The second guitar that i bought had a floyd rose. Once I figured out how to set it up properly it never went out of tune 99.9 % of the time. Why are people looking for a bridge that will keep the guitar in tune if it already exists? Are they just lazy or just ignorant? I meant it looks cool and you can hit an open harmonic and do stupid fun dive bombs.

[@zigote]

Auto-motion tracking is craziness! ahahah

[@groovydjs]

Thanks my friend! Yeah, most of them do judge on just one video. They don't know which ones are meant to be a joke or a "Spinal Tap" parody type of thing and are founded on nothing but the stupid shit that people spew on forums every day. I don't make any disclaimers at the beginning of THOSE videos and then people lose their minds and the lynch mob comes out. lol Amazing how fast people can turn on a guy when he simply tries to be funny. lol Cheers my man! Scott

[@hrblocked]

Scott, do you have any thoughts on guitars with fanned frets? Thanks.

[@poppyonepug1]

Hey Scott! What's your take on studio musicians (Brent Mason, Tommy Tedesco, Larry Carlton, etc) being superior to the usual names people throw out as being the "best". Also as far as strings on acoustic guitars go, is there a downside, besides tone being affected, to putting a set of 10s on my Baby Taylor acoustic. Taylor insists nothing less than 12s should be used since the neck might get warped. Thanks man.

[@PlaneCrashClub]

do you live near henderson?

[@SarcastSempervirens]

"always having to send death threats to everyone..." :D:D:D:D:D:D

[@aaronmcbryer3980]

Well,she's got a new pair now and as far as I'm concerned I'd still do everything to that girl!She always has been one of the sexiest women I've ever seen.PLUS,she can really fucking act!Her best movie is called Streets and it is definitely my favorite movie,it is easily the best indie/cult/underground film you can find.I'm one brutally honest bastard and am not afraid to say I cried at the end of it.A very dark and honest movie for sure.All in all,I love that woman.I'd love to interview her.

[@groovydjs]

For the simple reason that nobody wants them made right. They want them to be made the VINTAGE WAY. WIth all of the problem built into them. They've simply heard that Vintage is the way to go and why fix what isn't broken. But, they don't realize that they've been broken for decades. lol A few companies have tried and they were out of business in under a few months. Parker Guitars tried, but were forced to build normal crap to stay in business. Modulus still isn't a huge name. So sad.

[@jime6688]

Lol! I LOVE the raps. I know all the words to one rap song. Young MC's Bust A Move, but enjoy Shatner's take the best. You should do "shoop" all the way through.

[@keithg1313]

Ha, Scott's road stories are gonna be filthy. To be fair, i also asked for micky moused or Mcgyvered gear... and the dirty stuff.

[@guyegardner]

Scott + rapping = no. Dear Scott, I made it through 24 minutes of the Kardashian show in hopes to find out exactly WHY they have a show, I failed. Please enlighten me with your worldly wisdom. And is there somebody behind the camera?

[@wiziek]

C'mon those videos keep going and going, how mane hours i'm going listen to you?

[@2619bowman]

You know, a question has occurred to me. Why hasn't someone with some sense manufactured guitars the correct way on a mass scale like fender or gibson? Roller bridges and nuts, with artificial body and neck that isn't subject to moisture?

[@51MontyPython]

So have you ever actually seen anything strange out there in the desert, as far as inexplicable phenomenon go? I almost had the chance to see the Marfa lights when I was out in west Texas as a teenager, but, it was a choice between that and the observatory on the one extra night we had left on our trip, and unfortunately the grown-ups decided on the stupid observatory (which was nothing exciting at all, unless of course you think waiting in a long line just to see a white dot on a telescope is exciting), because the Marfa lights don't show up every night, and so they weren't sure we would even be able to see them. Man, I'm still pissed about that >:( The one time I had the chance, but nooooooo, we had to go to that stupid observatory....lol

[@51MontyPython]

Oh, I see you went on to answer that in the vid. Carry on, then. :)

[@groovydjs]

51MontyPython Dude, there is so much cool stuff out here. Between Nellis Air Force Base and Area 51 (both right here), all you have to do is drive in that general direction on a back road through the mountains and you are pretty much guaranteed to have an INTERESTING evening, If you get bored.....just pull up to the gates at area 51 and stir up some tension and then drive away and simply watch the protocol work its magic to make sure you are on your way. It's fun to poke the bear with a stick. lol

[@51MontyPython]

67-72 is the _median_ age???? Holy fuck, dude. lol

[@fafafuhi]

im sorry scott by saying this but i heard you mention suicide well as of right now i just got home from the psych ward for an attempt (i was too stupid to hit the right vein or find a gun) lol ive learned to joke about it but for what its worth please dont cause theres people on here that love the videos. i dont know ur situation but please dont do something like that to ur family on here and in real life

[@NameWithheld999]

Q: How do you make your drummer faster? A: Take the Dominos Pizza sign off the top of his car.

[@groovydjs]

WOW, you do have a lot of school left! You'll breeze through it though. You're a smart dude! I'll gladly do a disgustingly filthy video for you for sure. We'll see what kind of people end up subscribing BECAUSE of that video and who all UNSUBSCRIBE because of it. lol People have to have a sense of humor. It's so rare these days for some reason.

[@groovydjs]

I guess it's supposed to be illegal to do that, but.....I honestly don't care. lol

[@stonedrocker666]

When i get married, i want you to Dj my wedding. Ill fly to vegas with the money and wife and whatever LOL

[@SixStringHarmonies]

Nice answer, Scott. It only took 5 hours....but you got to it! Fantastic. I figured you'd been probed by ET's once or twice! It shows! JK, Cheers!

[@NexusCapital]

Scott Im sure its in one of your videos but I am confident I will never find it.... Im curious what happened to your health. I know you said a stroke but it seems so impending that your health will continue to decline? Just curious whats going on with that brother.

[@MrBobcat1964]

Do you have a job? Do tell.

[@groovydjs]

Yep, I have many jobs. I've already pulled in over 5k (profit) today and the day is only half through. I'm the boss in all situations. It's good to be the king.

[@EricMetalhead]

groovydjs You da man

[@AdamLitchfield13]

Hey Scott just wanted to say hang in there bud. Keep up the great videos and screw the haters. At least you got nice comments I have 1 comment from some jackass. I hate the fact that you had to go through what you have with the stroke. I am in the medical field and I know that you can't help you. But hang in there. Sorry for the shit grammar
