What a wise and intellectual woman she must be. You must be very proud, that's not a question it's a statement. I've had three strong women in my life; my grandmother, my mother and Ann my beloved.
I have the same relationship with my youngest granddaughter as I had with my grandmother, mutual love and respect. My mother gave me my love of music and taught me to respect women. Ann has given me everything else.

Shame about your mums bad history with men, relative and spouses. Just had to say not all us Europeans are bar stewards.

Happy birthday Peatles mum. Xxx

Hi Max, welcome to Chordie. Sometimes I wish I was starting out learning again, then I realise I still am.... learning to play properly. Take heed of what Doug has written, it's very good advice. 5 minutes here and there throughout the day learning chords and scales and picking out tunes is what the doctor ordered.

shall i be brutally honest? i will anyway.

they are lacking that ring that new strings have and i like the screech as you move your fingers up the frett board. new strings have to bed in before they hold their tuning but as i have found; as you play further up the arm they tend to lose their tune, octaves on harmonics aren't where they should be so solos up top sound flat.

it's a fact of life that when you decide to change the strings after the next gig, they sound great! tones are nice etc. it's just when you look at the 5th and 6th strings they're almost black and sound quite dead...so they've got to go.

i was noodling last night on my Crafter semi acoustic, did some bending on the 12th frett (due to old strings) and when i went to play open chords the high E and D strings had lost their tuning, so a change is unavoidable even though the strings sound great when recording. when they gorra go they gorra go.

i think i tried elixirs once but when i went back to get more the store had gone bust! i'll have to see if they're on Amazon next time i need some

in actual fact it was elvis' wonder of you....funny how you remember little things? like when the fight starts you pull your mic stands in, take your guitar off, pull the speakers down and stand well back

I did a Christmas Eve gig when I was bass in a duo. We were warned as we set up not to bother with the people on the other side of the room as they were "trash". Then we got the same story from the "trash" keep away from them over there!
All went well till the last song when the whole club errupted. Within minutes there wasn't a whole table, glass, window or door. I now try to avoid playing on Christmas Eve. Who wants to go through Christmas with a black eye and missing teeth? And some in jail? It takes all sorts I guess.

Neo, you had a guy in the band that played a bottle?

How about... ANTIPODEAN ROSETTA STONE ORACLE?  ARSO. Maybe not?

i thought she'd never ring that bell for the second time....magic

i just had a quick listen and it's in Bb. i caught some of the chords but i'll need more time to work them all out.
must say Kenny did a great job of performing the song, and of course great writing.

"hoping that he'd play the solo as he'd done in his dream"....wow, done that been there worn the tee shirt out!

so true to life. whenever i've premiered a new song "live" and there's a solo first thing is remembering the words then remembering the first note of the solo that i'd worked out. often (in battlefield conditions) the panic that you've come to the solo can catch you unawares so i've played; the wrong string, the wrong note or even the wrong key or a solo from another song....! so this quite apart from the fact that it's a cracking bit of writing, is so true to life.
i read in the Beatles autobiography that when they started out (Sutcliff on bass) McCartney had a guitar solo to play and i believe the nerves got the better of him. it happens to the best of us.

I've seen some concerts on the box and was mightily impressed, but never bought any albums... maybe I should have.
I will look them up on YouTube. Sad day.

Elton John, Niel Diamond and Rush, 2018 hasn't started that good?
