Thanks for the replies, Old Doll IMHO the music you listen to is the music your more likely to emulate, broaden you horizons, if your intention is to write a song like that, listen to the people i listen to feel how they feel and you will be doing it without even thinking about it.

Re: Buskers!! (10 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Cheap sh**ty karaoke machines do the trick, although power is the problem, maybe busk outside a shop and pay them to use their electric?
The beauty of the karaoke machine is that you could plug your guitar into it instead of plugging in a mic.

Re: Acoustic night.....I want to enter. (25 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Thanks for all your advice guy's, I went along last night and had a little shifty, only stayed to watch 2 acts, one was good one was not so good but it was a relaxed atmosphere and there was no pressure on anyone, every song was applauded etc.
So anyway i've decided that next Sunday is when i pop my public cherry and I'll let you all know how it goes

Topic: Acoustic night.....I want to enter. (25 replies, posted in Acoustic)
In a localish pub they have acoustic night every Sunday night, i want to enter but i'm not sure i would be good enough, I think its more lack of confidence in myself more than anything else, but i so want to stand up and let people hear me do some covers and a couple of my own tracks.
I always have to think to myself that I've only been playing for a year but I feel pretty advanced compared to some people, has anyone been in my position? Got any tips for me? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
