There's all manner of gypsy secret tonics that will cure what ails ya and give you glorious tone. I'd be surprised if rattlers' tails didn't find a place in there somewhere.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

I'd be tempted to turn that rattle into an instrument of it's own.

I sharpen picks and use them as weapons. I'm a guitar ninja.

I sharpen picks too but only because my dad taught me to be frugal.

Waste not, want not.

When the points gets worn off I sand it back to shape with a course nail file. I'll get 3 times the normal use out of a pick.

Shazam! Does anyone have tips on how to play guitar behind my back?

Play guitar behind your back? Sure just turn the other way and have your buddy stand behind you and pick some tunes.

Oh man! I am laughing at myself now. Come to think of it, I have used it as toothpick! Usually after I eat an apple.

Thankfully they look to be too big to pick a nostril or an ear.

My sister-in-law has one of those cheese slicers that uses a stiff wire on a pivoting arm. When the wire broke, I replaced it with the G string from a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinkys. She's been using it that way for about three years now!
