Are you married to my wife too? Just because I'm in my 70's she wants me to sell all my stuff before I die. I may have given up gigging but not living or playing my acoustics(4), my basses(2), my keyboards(2) or my drums(2 Alesis kits). I do have to work hard not to buy anything else I like my meat and two vedge where they are     

I'm 73 and in reasonable health yet my wife is nagging me to sell my 7 guitars .
Does she know something I don't ? It is true you can only play one at a time but different sounding guitars on multi track recordings is cool. I also have a couple of amps 2 sets of speakers etc but I'm loathe to get rid of anything in case I go back on the road... real at 73 ! unlikely     

Hi Grah. Yes a lot of spam gets zapped by the prog itself, maybe you don't get to see that? I'm glad when members bring this nonsense to my attention and I take great pleasure in moving the posts to spam or as in this case deleting must be around 30 posts. I usually investigate them thoroughly before taking action so thanks for bringing my attention to this cretin.     

Hi Welcome. 1 wish that chord finder was around years ago when I was struggling to find the chords to a song. Chordie does that for me now . Though it spoils half the fun of discovery ! some of the guys here have tried it but it's not my thing as I'm old school. I write and record the old fashioned way by playing each instrument and writing each word. If you think it helps you great. Let's hear some of your work.     

Look forward to that     

I have 2 go to guitars; my Fender Telecaster that I got for my 60th birthday and my Crafter acoustic. They were both bought when they were put in my hands, in different shops at different times, but once they were there I haven't put them down. Love at first sight?     

I've also heard that top artistes have had to get back to live gigs to make money as records dont do it any more. Not such a bad thing until the artists you grew up loving dont have a voice anymore. Sad but true unfortunately. On YouTube there are some fantastic cover bands that sound almost like the original vocally but spot on instrumentaly.     

yep, came through loud and proud. nice rendition, i expect it's due to the chord progression but there are echo's of "if i were a carpenter" and the reference to "tide is high". did the AI write all the words and suggest the chord sequence? i like it though     

Hi Richard. Thanks for the link. The intro saw me drooling over the guitars on show and I very impressed with that pseudo guitar thing,loving the sound etc. At first I wondered why you got rid of it but after watching the vid for a while I understood perfectly. It's not the same as the girl was playing in Petes video but it would take a lot more convincing for me to get one, either one!     

Yes Pedr that was special. Beautiful voice. I noticed she had an acoustic guitar also? Now the instrument she was playing....it wouldn't surprise me if it was an Xbox guitar or some such, all she had to do was put her finger on the correct fret and touch the stickee out bit, all very clever and techno. What next a robot shaving razor? Can you imagine the conversation as you're driving to town? "YOU MISSED A BIT UNDER MY CHIN" If anyone gets any ideas, I thought of it first!
