Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Mrrzy Date: 04 Sep 19 - 03:53 PM The first time I sang with musicians they asked me for a key, I had no idea. So I just sang and guitar turns to mandolin and says, They're a folkie... Play in G. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Backwoodsman Date: 02 Sep 19 - 12:18 AM ”4th string on a G-tar” Errrrrrmmmmm......Tattie, the 4th string on a guitar is ‘D’, ‘G’ is the third string. Guitar strings are listed alphabetically from the thickest to the thinnest - EADGBe - but they are numbered the reverse, from the thinnest - high ‘e’ - to the thickest - low ‘E’. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: DMcG Date: 30 Aug 19 - 11:02 AM I worked with a guy who said he got his PhD for getting one more decimal place on one of the constants. It was over 40 years ago now, though, so I forget which one. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Steve Shaw Date: 30 Aug 19 - 08:36 AM Precisely, except that I've argued for years that the 8 in that should be a 7. Or maybe seven and a bit. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: DMcG Date: 30 Aug 19 - 08:13 AM I think Steve meant to say "around 6.67408x10-11m3kg-1s-2" |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 28 Aug 19 - 07:35 PM G is a thing which rhymes with B, C, D, and E. This is often considered proof that whoever named the letters of the alphabet never tried to tell fellow musicians in a noisy room what key a song was going to be played in. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Aug 19 - 06:19 PM The true definition of G is that it's a note that, in a session, will be presented to you at least fifty cents either way if you ask a fiddle player for it. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 28 Aug 19 - 04:38 PM Ok, here goes again..... It has an air on it. Lowest string on a fiddle, 4th string on a G-tar. Preferred singing key for altos. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Aug 19 - 09:34 AM "G" (or "Gee") is a mild expletive used to circumvent the biblical commandment about not taking the name of God in vain. Instead of saying "God", the speaker only says the first letter of God's name. This keeps the speaker from going to Hell because God is totally clueless. |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: Jon Freeman Date: 27 Aug 19 - 07:25 AM Going back to the OP. The G in lamps seems to refer to bi pin lamps or there bases, most of which are on some ISO standard. See here |

Subject: RE: BS: What's a G? From: DMcG Date: 27 Aug 19 - 06:27 AM Sometimes, as in mobile phones, it does represent a set of distinct and incompatible standards. But more often it is pure marketing. I will not say which category is the better fit for Steve's example. |
