It could and did get extremely lairy Last outfit was a blues duo playing the sweatiest pubs in leeds: best venue the grove. Guitar player got more or less permanently ill(i disagree with him but he is determined) so decided to learn guitar to accompany myself. Use a fender princeton 65 and a small valve amp Play a squier telecaster, epihone blueshawk, epiphone parlour guitar and a Yamaha electric acoustic that I would recommend to Robin Evans if he's after one.

Farmduck Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This was from a competition on a guitar site (2008?) limited to 1 min 30 secs, so I didn't finish the tune. I won and gave the prize - some kind of foot pedal to a newbie in the USA somewhere. I squirm a lot in this one because the strap is the most uncomfortable one I've ever had Here are some of the guitars. I also have a CIJ Tele and 3 Strats.

chuffer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I have a dean hardtail electric and an Alan black acoustic. Dont play in a band or anything, not good enough for that but I like arsing around with little riffs, arpeggios on them, particularly in different tunings (currently liking the Celtic DADGAD style at the moment) and sort of send myself into a mini hypnosis by discovering loops I like...sometime I hit on something nice but the next day I always forget what I've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmduck Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 For recording I use an old Laney LX12 - probably the best $70 amp ever, IMO. I also have a Farfisa 100W piano accordion amp which I use for getting loud. It's an mid 60s model made in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd started learning to play when I was younger, then I had an industrial accident were I lost the use of my left hand index finger ( I'm right handed ). In some ways it would have been better if I had lost it completely because I can't really use it but it gets in the way. I've got myself a " Fender " Gemini acoustic from a pal a year or two but I can't build up the enthusiasm to start again. I remember going watching " The Undertakers " ( Jackie Lomax's old band ) a few years back and I noticed the rhythm guitarist only had three fingers on his left hand also but he seemed to play pretty good. One day I'll start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just now, Tongs ya bas said: Jackie lorax made a great solo record called 'sour milk sea' I used to go and see them regularly. Jackie Lomax used to come over from California and sit in with them. They were a great live band, they always kicked off with " Matchbox " by Carl Perkins. That got the room bouncing. Jackie died a couple of years ago as did Geoff Nugent the three fingered guitarist. They also had a tremendous sax player called Brian Jones. He's still going strong.
