JoeyJJ, I love your style! Is the 6 string banjo something you can play around the campfire for a few laughs? How different is it from a guitar. I am only looking for enjoyment and to sing a few songs, don't plan on anything professional, just fun.

I reckon I need a banjo and I am thinking that a 6 string may be the way to go. This would save me learning new scales, tuning etc. in my old age. Has anyone had any thing to do with this style of banjo (ganjo)

I support Geo's comments above. Go into a guitar shop and play all the guitars in your price range. You will know the guitar for you as soon as you play it. Dont get to hooked up on brand names, there are many alteratives out there in the same price bracket as Epi's. I am thinking Ibanez as I type. Just my thoughts.

I only ever wanted to play a guitar, and have several 6 string accoustics, a 12 string acc. and 2 elecs.
Then I bought a mandolin because I wanted one. Having a lot of fun with it although my big fat fingers and skinny mando necks just don't seem to be meant for one another.
I now want a banjo and will probably get a 6 string type. (any comment on these)?

Pete, us old fellers better get a move on if we are ever going to be famous playing music. I have made a start by having my own groupie living at home with me, does that count?

Jerome, Pete and Dino, just so you can't have this outstanding thread all to yourselves, I thought I better jump in. (wink)
You fellers are discussing a topic I have a great interest in and the info here is invaluable. I have just started the journey with recording that you guys are already miles down the road on so be prepared for a barrage of questions soon from me.
Pete and Dino, stick with it.
Jerome, you are a champ.

Zurf, I once complained of sore knees until I met a man with no legs.

I don't care what anyone says or thinks about me, I love my guitars. My wife even calls my Matons my babies. Maybe she is just as crazy as me. LOL.
All the best to all the other crazy Chordie folk.

Jim, congratulations on getting more toys. Maybe a pic?. Maybe a utube link down the track?
By the way, my wife goes to bed with me. Some of you Americans sure do have some funny ways. (wink)

Dino, I also saw the Gibson CEO on sat TV a couple of nights ago. I thought he was very honest and open about the Gibson predicament. My first thoughts were that with all the turmoil happening in the world today, these people trying to shut down not only a very fine guitar factory but also an American icon, should invest their time shutting down real criminal organisations and leave alone the fine people that have no criminal intent.
I could rave on all night about these enviro-nazis but I doubt it would serve any purpose as they seem to have their own agenda.
They are obviously not on the same team as most of us are, in USA and here in Aus.
Guard your Gibsons folks.

Greetings and welcome to Chordie. Always good to see another Aussie join up, even if they are from S.A.(wink)
Chordie is a great site, I am sure you will love it.

Good call Pix, well said.

Hello Tugger and welcome. A suggestion on parodies if you don't mind colourful language is an Aussie named Kevin Bloody Wilson. Be warned though, R rated.
Another Aussie is Chad Morgan, much more family friendly.
Both on Utube

Thanks Jerome, some good tips there however I may have to wait until my 12 year old grandaughter shows me the way around this software. LOL. I agree with you on the Apple gear, I like it so far. 'Garage Band" is amazing.

Pix, coming from the bush, I cannot understand why anyone would want to go surfing in 17 foot waves. for fun.(wink)
To all you other folk in the danger zone, take care.

After watching Pete on u-tube, I am working on "I will love you all my life"
Thanks Pete for the nudge. By the way, I think you did very well. Gonna have to give this u-tube thingy a crack one day myself.

Hello folks and thanks for your comments. I am presently downloading "garage band", only $5.50 here in Aus so will see how it goes and keep you posted. I think I will need another lead with 1/4 inch socket to plug in guitar and connect to ipad. Does anyone know anything about this, Jerome maybe ?
All the best
Bushy
I have seen a demo of the "Garage Band" programme on ipad and it looks like a lot of fun. Anyone have any experience with or knowledge on this programme?

Hello pfalcon. I can not comment on the Galaxy but I do have an Ipad and it works a treat for me, very happy. I travel a lot with my work so my guitar or mandolin and Ipad are perfect companians. Chordie access on my Ipad is brilliant now that a lot of the bugs have been sorted out. Many thanks to Admin.

My 'puter is sometimes slower on weekends, but weeknights is fine and has been like this since I joined Chordie. I have no complaints.

Yep, it was a long post but the intent was well explained. I admire your social conscience and conviction.
Good on you Mate.

Thanks for your kind words folks.
I have not seriously considered a travel guitar, not sure I have actually seen one. Anyone have any experience with these? I do have a mandolin and I thought I may take this with me although I cannot play the mando very well. Might be an opportunity to brush up on my playing.
All the best

Hello all, I've been away for a bit and have not been able to get my daily dose of Chordie. I have taken on a new position with a company that has a lot of work in remote regions and as such have spent half my time in planes and the other half in the middle of nowhere.
I am home for a few days now and realised I have not picked up a guitar in 2 months, far too long. Of course I have tried to jam a couple of months of non playing into a few days of playing with the result that I have very sore fingers at the moment. With all the travelling involved in my new job, it is difficult to take a guitar with me and I very much miss my daily strumming session over a couple of beers.
Good to catch up with all you old hands again and welcome to all the new folks.
All the best
Bushy
Like Pete, I feel I am a decent beginner (as opposed to being an indecent beginner). Those people thay can't play at all say I am OK, those that can play usually offer some good advice, feels good either way and that is what playing a guitar is all about, feeling good.
All the best
