As long as they look happy and engage with the audience a guitarist could be playing through a toilet tube for all I care. I can't stand self absorbed widdlers.
-
That sounds really great !
-
Probably correct. But surely. Bono or someone like that could have combined with him to send those guitars somewhere ? I still think the best thing Gibson can do now is produce fewer VERY expensive guitars of superlative quality and keep putting th…

Think of all the third world kids who would have loved playing those.
-
I don't think books are the way any more. My own retailers tell me tuition books hang around the shelves for years. What would interest me is something similar to the Mavis Beacon touch typing course which I did years ago and which got me to the sec…

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.
