simondo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I've been playing for about 40 years. In normal times I play or jam with others about 3 times a week. Mostly electric guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simondo Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi there - another reason that I've joined up is the musical isolation of this lockdown business. How are you coping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyman Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I’m missing the band although I’d never admit that to their faces Other than that, I’ve taken the opportunity to practice more and try to improve my technique. It’s working slowly so progress is encouraging and making me want to keep at it - but not that fast that there’s no challenge and I get bored. The big problem I have with lockdown is GAS and the siren call of internet shopping. Who knew I needed that boutique compressor pedal?

BleuFrançais Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hello everyone, I apologize if this is the wrong place to put this. Just joined the forum. in case I shoud have started a new thread, will just then say ""Hello"" to Simondo too my computer skills are as basic as my guitar....lol Looking forward to reading all whats going on. Have been learning guitar for a few years, its taking me forever (got arthritis in my joints) but absolutely love playing guitar, singing and generally making any sounds, that make me feel like some hip rock chic........ I know delusional....lol but its great to have so much fun..... it also helps having a sick sense of humour...... but a tune is a tune... right........so thats my reasoning ..... Love tons of music stuff, from all different genres....heavy metal - country Want to learn about amps too, I have one, but finding it difficult to get the sound i want. I have an elelctric acoustic crafter guitar and an Ario pro2 electric. Might treat msyelf to a new guitar if i become a better player, to at least beable to join in with someone else.... so very excited at joining this group to see what I can pick up and learn from everyone...... would like to take this chance to thank you....in advance.......Thanks...

Blues Rick Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hi everyone! I'm Rick from West Sussex. I'm into blues and looking for some buddies who into the same thing. I can't stop buying guitars I can't play very well ha ha! My favourite has to be the Fender Blues Jr. I love Gary Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t stop buying guitars, eh? I’m afraid you’ve probably come to the wrong place if you’re hoping for any help in that regard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
