Refuse to buy an otherwise great guitar because you don't like the way the neck feels.
Drop your guitar and then realize it’s not the end of the world.

Grow your fingernails out.
Adjust a truss rod without any outside help.
Learn an open tuning.
Buy a 12-string guitar.
Scratch and sniff a piece of Brazilian rosewood.
Conduct a photo shoot with your current guitar quiver.
Own at least one guitar made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Own at least one guitar made in Fullerton, California.
Learn a song written by a musician who died before you were born.

Things I have almost done, would like to do, etc-

Miss a day of work because you were up too late playing.-I have showed up to work tired because I was up too late playing, although not at my current job.
Build your own cigar box guitar.
Play a vintage Weissenborn. (I've played a copy of a Weissenborn, and played a current Weissenborn.
Try to play a harp guitar. (I'd love to try this out)
Capture a Les Paul Monday at the Iridium in New York City (bonus points if you actually saw Les Paul play when you could). If I had made it to NY while he was alive I would have done this.
Buy a ukulele in Hawaii. I would have, but there were only cheap toy type ones, and ones too expensive for me.

Anybody else?

Done quite a few on that list, but here's the ones still on my bucket list...

Make a jam at the Green Iguana in Tampa w/ Arjay and Cedar Blues on a Monday
Retolex a Fender amp.
Learn to play slide well!
Find my old 59 Tweed Harvard!
Build a Champ From a Kit.

That is all...well for now...the great thing about a bucket list is you can always add some more to it...up to a certain point.

What time is it? It's Fender Time.

There were only 3 items on my guitar bucket list:

1. See SRV's #1.
2. Play a real vintage 60's Strat.
3. Own a real vintage 60's Strat.

I knocked #1 and #2 off the list a few weeks ago when I went to Austin.

#3 is going to take a bit of work.

Tune Low, Play Hard & Floor it!

I made it to the Iridium about this time last year. Steve Miller, Les Paul's god son showed up and did a couple of tunes.
I built a couple of pedals from kits and painted the outside, they're so hideous you'll never see anything like these at GC, but they sound good.
My list includes retiring soon, playing hours a day and some day getting proficient enough to actually perform, maybe even in a band. There's a little voice in the back of my head saying something about singing as well, but I've resisted adding that to my list.

Here's the only ones I've done:

2. Join an online guitar forum.
3. Get into an argument with someone on an online guitar forum.
7. Have at least two quotes from This is Spinal Tap committed to memory.
21. Swear off a particular brand of strings.
26. Teach a kid his/her first three chords.
61. Drop your guitar and then realize it’s not the end of the world.
74. Learn an open tuning.
75. Buy a 12-string guitar.
88. Learn a song written by a musician who died before you were born.

Looks like I've got some work to do...
