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 …

All my wife got me was one lousy dog for my *cough*tieth.
-
I went to a Kaiser Chief's gig and Ricky Wilson ran out into the audience and stood right beside me, singing. The thing is that I was so drunk I can't remember it at all. My wife told me it happened the next day.
-
I found time to fix an electric shower. Needs must.
-
AC/DC "lovely" Not sure the two go together on a highway to hell.
-
I think he's one of the rock guitar greats. He uses nothing but overdrive as a guitar effect.
-
Getting to the point where it's "Do I put the money into a better phone or buy a dedicated mic/recorder ?" Phones have made amateur video cams virtually obsolete.
-
Right. I'm not an electric player but those pups have got me salivating.
-
It needs giving to a keen teenager. It'll get hours of playing and copious deposits of blood and grease (and other yucky deposits) to revitalise it. If it's like my lad's student accommodation it won't see any furniture polish.
-
Do I note a little scepticism there ??? Gimme Shelter !
-
You can afford to be s*** at these silly prices.
-
As for the slogan - what it means is that, at this price, it is very easy to have one. For £600 outlay I got a really good slope shouldered copy and a really good 00015m substitute. The slope shouldered is 95% of what I wanted and the V300... well…

Vintage V300MH (not to be confused with its spruce stablemate which is not in the same league.)
-
I played a D35 Martin in Mansons today. An utter joy but returned to my two babies and my GAS waned within minutes. (Play your acoustics facing a corner in the room. You get great feedback from it.)
-
I'd have thought nylon strings on a steel string guitar would sound a bit quiet. Am I right ? I hope laddo isn't put off by the classical training but the teacher is right. If he is doing that sort of syllabus then nylon strings are a must. Dig…
-
I use his stuff to this day. My oldest (only original) musical item is a brass JD capo which I have had from virtually the beginning and has been at every one of my gigs.
-
Similar. Despite 35 (to be 40) years of putting into pensions. I can only hope of semi retirement really. Older police officers and the ACPO ranks on the other hand... They get lottery sized pension payouts and don't tell me that they paid for i…

Got an NIP for an SP30 this morning. 36 in a 30 trying to get an under powered (fully laden) car up a steep hill in Bradford on a visit to see one of my sons. I could face a fine based on my income which is way out of proportion to the momentary …

We're our own worst critics, aren't we ! No. That music is really lovely to listen to. I often by band CDs and find they are nothing like the gig I've heard. "No. I want a recording of how you sounded tonight !"
