I almost wish that I was starting again. Reliving that adventure of twisting your fingers around the strings and making the chords sound tuneful.
So, all the best with your great adventure, come back often and don't be afraid to ask even the most silly question or the most difficult, there'll always be someone to give you a solution.

Due to financial reasons my first guitar was really, really cheap and nasty! The action was high and octaves were further out than Pluto! But it did strengthen my fingers. After saving for a few months I had enough to buy a better one which made playing a lot easier and tuneful. As time passed and I got more proficient and had a better cash flow, I got to the stage where I could choose a guitar that suited me as a player instead of my pocket.

So, I would suggest (unless you've already gone through that stage) get a cheapie, strengthen your digits and find out if the guitar is right for you before paying out great sums of money that might be better spent elsewhere

Abe Lincoln...you might have heard of him? had a set of wooden teeth. Just thought I'd impart that bit of trivia...

nicely done Jim. i never realised you knew rude words. so glad you *'d it out otherwise we'd have to ban you...no just kidding!

i've just had a quick strum, you said it's a rocky blues, i may have gone a bit fast? we'll have to wait till you put it up on soundcloud to know how you planned it. good song though

You must have got a big chest Roger, as that happens soooo often!

I wholeheartedly agree with CG on this... in a way we all use Chordie for our own ends, allbeit to promote our latest work, or get ideas for our next work...or like me and most of our regular posters that enjoy the friendship we've made here the help, guidance and support from our friends.

I get gooseberries and sometimes raspberries

This is why I asked this question.... everyone has their own thoughts on the subject. Long live the guitar

Thanks Peatle, I'm a rocker at heart, but I've always played to the older crowd so I begin with country, 60's and ballards. Towards the end of the second half, it's Don't stop believing and Another brick in the wall etc. But for some reason when I write a song it tends to come out country... don't ask me why

TF, love that Wilson quote. It describes an all round artiste, someone who can sit in with just about anyone in any style. Peatle Some session men/women can do that and play to the style of the artiste, while some artistes want people to know who's playing on their records. After all if any of the names mentioned above would grace my music with their presence I'd want the world to know it!

Come on let's have some more views on this subject....

thank you Graham, nice to hear from you, hope you're well. Will you be going back to Grease this year? or are you going to grace us with your company here in the UK? which ever way, keep us updated with your songs and videos.

big thanks to everyone that gave a listen.

Roger, apart from your vocals being a little distorted your rendition was great, and the deliberate mistake!!!!!

i think other members might like to hear your version, i wont put it up but why don't you?

Sounds like a plan....
