We don't want you looking like Arnold (steroids) but it's great to hear the news. Brave man.
-
Like the book btw !
-
You haven't seen the In Betweeners film then, ES. (Campsite guitar) After that I've never taken a guitar camping again.
-
Wow ! Now those have mojo ! They really do sound old.
-
I'm keen to have a look at one of those ARE treated Yamahas to see if what they say is true about artificial wood ageing. Not available in the lower price range though.
-
The reasonably priced Yamaha acoustics are what would be found in school music departments alongside the Pacificas. A sensible choice, I agree.
-
True. The build and QC is unsurpassed at Yamaha. I find, however, there is a mysterious quality called Mojo which is why I wouldn't go for Yamaha. I find them quite generic and there is nothing wrong with that. They are very precise and competent gu…

I kick myself that I sold the Roland Cube Street (RCS) but that was at a time that none of us were interested in electric guitars. It would have done the job but my decision was based on the fact that he needs a practice amp... and his next should b…

What a waste of effort and material.
-
It's the sort that you would use at a gig while leaving your real vintage one at home. A really authentic tone.
-
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra aren't the originals playing Bach. Is there any point in training to be a professional musician, do you think ?
-
I don't suppose it's a case of either/or... I'm happy to watch both.
-
Just suspend a bit of belief and you can easily think you're watching the real thing. The musicians are worth every penny to watch. I've yet to see a pub band do an authentic representation of FM it takes a lot of skill and talent which I'm more tha…

Vintage V300MH - an utter steal at £170 and winner of best guitar under £1000 one year by The Guitar Magazine. It has certainly cured my GAS.
-
Want.
-
Keep in touch Lester. The Power of Now is a good book by Eckhart Tolle which has a section on facing illness and is the one I have to hand for when the inevitable hits me.
-
I couldn't even carry a guitar through those containers without banging it into them !
-
I had wondered.
-
Further. It's not a competition. Some of the best musicians I've heard have not been that good technically. It's all about attitude and personality.
-
If you're talented it all comes easily. I found, eventually, that no matter how hard I worked I did not have talent and was never going to get it. So my guitars have been in a corner for years - just for me now. I rarely play in front of people. A…
-
It's a really good light show too. The audience were on their feet - all those hips creaking made a bit of a noise.
-
My biggest payout was a London gig in the nineties. I got £200 for a three hour (double) set. What happened to those days ??? It's hard to imagine now.
-
I rarely played for free but did it for 'meal vouchers' rather than cash. I'd pick a restaurant I liked the look of and took my guitar in to do an impromptu audition and offer to play a free gig as a trial. It cost the restaurants very little to emp…

"1x10 powered speaker of good repute" Unlike the 5'2" Speaker of ill repute in the House at the moment.
-
"then a gig I was to do covering the pop band got cancelled due to lack of ticket sales." I told you the Gary Glitter tribute band wouldn't work.
-
Could you find it ? A lot of famous and brilliant guitarists choose them. The guy at Mansons handed me one last time I was there while I was playing the D35. It was not in the same league, I'm afraid.
-
A bit flat for my liking.
-
Fantastic photo of the LP btw.
-
I once heard a band and they were all playing Epiphone. They kept their real Gibsons at home. I couldn't tell the difference to be honest.
-
No. All he has to do to inherit those tools is slip something in granddad's tea ! But joking aside. I am now acutely aware (fast approaching mid fifties with the months zooming by) that life is short. I'd go with his ambition. Build a stonker of …
