I was in a band called Sylvester. In the beginning it was great playing rock music with some pop songs and standards included. After some time it all got a little harder for me and the other guys I expect, I was something of a premadonna! I was on the verge of jumping ship when they turned up for a gig. I had my gear by the door, had my bath and asked if we were ready for the gig. They said yes we're going but you're not. No written warning....nothing! Ah well     

Bill, i smiled all the way through, in fact i'm still smiling. i laughed when you said "had enough yet?" you're doing fine mate with the singing and playing, sorry cant help with the kids lol     

Hey Jim. I find that I sweat quite a lot while playing, not just gigging but recording too the result being that the strings pick up grit, grease, dirt and if a player has acidic sweat then the strings will wear and break or just lose tone quickly as well as burning off any coating.

I love the tone and feel of new strings and I tend to slide up the arm quite a lot, when the strings are dirty it's a lot harder. I'm also lazy so I play with dead sounding strings for weeks before I bite the "bullet" (pun intended) and change them. That sounds contradictory doesn't it?     

the elite will have to wait for me unfortunately...i'm thinking about joining a duo on bass, so we'll see?

glad to know your so happy with your new baby. what strings are you putting on....fender bullets?     

Hi Shaggy, welcome to Chordie. Posting using chordpro takes a bit of getting used to so check out the stickies that you'll find at the top of each forum. You will also be able to post links to your recordings on SoundCloud or YouTube.
Not to be pedantic but you should have posted this one in chat, but don't worry, we haven't crucified anyone for a while...lol

One thing though, we do not allow bad language in the forum's..?? that's a given.

Please make use of all the resources, advice and help which will be freely given.

Hoping to hear more from you...soon

The pic came up with me! I fell in love immediately. Then I checked out Jim's vid and loved it even more. So I checked out the price on UK websites...£1400 or there about, lefties are £1800 ish and that's with the rosewood neck. If I'm going to get one, and I really want one, I want a maple neck. I wonder how much they'd want for that?
Just as an aside. Clapton saw various Americans playing Strats in the late 60s, but couldn't get the maple neck in the UK, so he bought several in the US while on tour with Cream!     

SWEET. need i say more?     

You've done a really great job. I must be honest, I've never heard it before, lots of verses must make it a nightmare to learn? I don't know about terrorism but I made out a lot of varying themes, maybe I'm just shallow and don't look for the bigger picture? Thanks for sharing, how about sharing that hammock in the background and some of your summer heat?     

Speaking it hadn't occurred to me, I'll try it and if it works out I'll post it. Thanks Jan.     

Thanks Jan, probably not. I wrote it as a jokey poem thingy. I bet Easybeat would make a good job of it though? Or maybe Peatle???     

Richard. It is a beautiful guitar but the post is a prelude to spam, I think. I may be wrong? You may want to buy a fire squirty thing from Spain, I don't know. But be assured, if and when they return to add spam they'll be gone!
Hope you're enjoying that beauty?
