Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) once said something to the effect, that if he was ever complimented for having written a first-rate pop song, he'd consider it both an insult and a wake up call.
LOL - the conundrum of success!!

I have written some original classical guitar music
Please post some up!
Cheers
Richard
I also don't know who made that statement, but I like it.
Thanks - I haven't had the opportunity to use it for a while (and wasn't implying EB is a fool ... 
)
I can't remember the exact saying, nor who said it, but it's something like "It's better to be a fool among kings than a king amonst fools" ....

Thanks - it's interesting to strip down the "synth pop" songs of the 80's and see how they hold up; unfortunately I can't do the french vocal bits, as it was kind of the highlight of the song ....
But glad you liked it!!
Cheers

you are right it is the guitar you have asked about. Neals guitar is not a stock standard it is made for him as he has a deal with them to promote their guitars,
Ah yea, they usually make 'special' guitars for the promoters of the brand ...
i have recorded it and it lasts just a minute and a half. i shall post it when time allows.
Look forward to the recording ...
Thanks for letting us know; and thanks for wishing him the best from all of us ...
Hope Lindsey gets better soon ... !!
I wiill attach a clip of a song that Neil now does with Fleetwood Mac on their latest tour that he wrote.
Is he using a Maton Tommy Emmanual special, in a blue grass 808 body style??
very good richard, must admit I've never heard it before, who is it by?
It's by "The Church", an Australian psychedelic rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. When I was looking through their Wiki profile I noticed they didn't have a very high profile in the US - yet they have some timeless songs; search for their album called "The Best Of The Radio Songs 2010" for an aural treat ....

A cover of the song from Steve Kilbey and the Church, "Almost with you":

Yup, that there's a cool looking bass ... and probably a LOT lighter than my ThunderBird. I honestly didn't know Hohner made head-less guitars, and they clearly paid a fair bit of attention to this one, with the various electronics upgrades. A very cool instrument!
Here's a FB photo of me playing it in the 90's:
I like that photo Neo and the Amber Nector on the table to help with the music making. Looking at the neck of your instrument what is it???
That would be this one:
... and mine would have been the Bourbon ...
I like your "head-less" guitar, Neo, although I've never played one. What brand is it? Steinberger? Kiesel? Strandberg? I'm especially curious about the tuning stability of one with a tremolo. Steve Howe (Yes) plays a 12-string Steinberger in several songs, and speaks very highly of it .
It's a Hohner bass - the tuning part is licenced by Steinberger, but I think they went on to produce better bridges later, mine is the B2, which was one of the first they produced, then they had the B2A (Active pickup version) and the B2ADB, here's a review of it: https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.c … less-bass/
His lounge has the same cover mine used to have:
Got distracted, still need to watch video ...

That is great, I have never thought of saying that before. yet it will be better coming from someone other than myself. So I told my buddy to call him that. Its funny because his personality is nice but he also has a grumpy side, so calling him SONBEAM is like call a really big guy tiny. LOLOLOL
but here is your sunbeamand his Brother SonBeam1
Nice pic!!
Hahaha ... I read your description before I saw the picture of Wongy, and formed a whole different perspective of a womanizing rogue ... well done! That said, Wongy looks like a cat consumed with malicious intent. Do you have a "Beware of Wongy" sign on your front gate?
Nope, she was very placid ... the roughest she got was when she lightly bit you as you weren't paying her enough attention ....
My wife had her for about 6 years before she moved in with me, but she was an adult cat when shee got her; so we weren't sure of her age, but she would have been close to 20 when she passed last year ....
Thanks - it's unusual for a female cat to have that colour; her name was "Wong Mau", which is (one of the languages of) Chinese for "Yellow cat". I "Australianized" her name and called her "Wongy" ...
We had three, but one passed away last year ....
Today it's "Here comes your man" by the PIxies; not really a ukelele song .... and it goes straight to guitar tabs
It reminded me of some of the music from "A Clockwork Orange", nice!!!
That's one cool cat!!
Excellent - I really enjoyed the video editing on this one, you live ina beautiful area!!
Cheers
Richard
Well done!!!
