Sorry rabbit. I used to love playing the guitar in my younger days, but my hearing is gone and I miss the sound of good music.

I like all sorts of music (well, perhaps no rap). I admire all good players especially guitar as that's my chosen instrument.

A lot of people don't appreciate really full on guitar. The control that is required at those volumes, to bend notes to exact pitch and not have any extraneous noises coming through is amazing.

Thanks for sharing that, talented young man.

I couldn't play the guitar for toffee but I spent years playing the piano. Arthritis means the most I can manage is chopsticks. All the harder stuff I used to know would be impossible.

But....if I was able to play the guitar, I'd like to play like Hank Marvin or Tommy Emmanuel.

Yeah, me too. 🙂 I saw these guys perform once. I had a front row seat and my feet resting on the wall of the stage.

Hank Marvin and Tommy Emmanual - two very different players.

I have everything Hank Marvin did until recently. I think he is doing Django style now - haven't heard any of that.

Love Gibsons. Hubby had a 1969 rosewood Gibson.

Swapped it for a modern Fender Strat copy!!

I cried - a lot!!

Didn't complain when he invested in a Maton though

The guy who lives behind me, has a Maton and a Cole Clarke and some really nice 80's valve amps.

I had a '63 Fender Stratocaster - sold it for $220 - worth $20,000 now of course, but you don't know it at the time. It was back in 70s when Les Paul's were all the rage.

I have a Profile Silhouette now - bought it 25 years ago. I recently put Tonerider pickups in it - I love it - everyone says it sounds BETTER than an American Stratocaster. It must be my excellent playing - lol.

I haven't picked it up for 6 months - fingers are really sore and bent.

I also bought a Les Paul Studio about 12 months ago - like the one in the first link I posted - only white.

Why am I writing all this? Who knows? Maybe someone will know what I'm on about.
