Don' tell me. I had, thanks to my profession to get "samples" of drugs even worse than cocaine and heroin together and for free.
I remember me reading in some magazines, that KEITH RICHARDS is still living, because he could afford the GOOD, 100% pure stuff.
Unfortunately, if you see the guy, I admire him, but a lot of people at his age are in a service flat
What I wanted to ask with this topic was in fact: the most important bands in the sixties, seventies, and their impact on the music until today.

Well Bobby6string, you are right. I wrote a topic about a guitar top. Rain, humidity, heat; cold can ruin your expensive guitar, especially the top.
See my topic about what to do if your guitar top is not longer flat.
About acoustic sounds: I have a Martin HD-28, so a dreadnought, and playing on that guitar, you can make a lot of noise, even today I ask myself (compared with a Gibson Humminbird, also a dreadnought, why if we play with 2, one uses the HD-28, the other the Gibson, you have difficulties to hear the Gibson, because the HD-28 blows you away.

If someone asked me what I like to play: electric or acoustic, my answer would be very similar with DON CORLEONE. As I told already I am blessed to have a nice collection, but you can't play them all.
I play 80% acoustic, and 20% electric.
WHAT is the easiest way to start playing: for me definitely ELECTRIC. The neck is long and thin, and it is a lot easier to play, but then I changed my mind, if you start playing acoustic, you will play easier the electric. Plug it in, add some distortion, some delay and a few other effects, you will play so loud and mistakes while playing are a lot more difficult to spot, using electric. Skip all effects, take a crystal clear sound OR take an acoustic, and you will hear every little mistake.
A strange fact: because I play and acoustic and electric, I am really surprised that I was able to play typical electric songs acoustic, using the same riffs and licks as on an electric.
Who else has a similar experience?

Jerome, I agree 100%, but on the timeline, I had the impression that cocaine was more used in the seventies.
I remember me a kind of DEATH LIST
1) Keith Richards
2) Lou Reed
3) A lot of others

I love the Bee Gees, Abba, even John Denver who are fitting in this topic.
I use one phrase: there where really good groups, but it was NOT DONE, to tell others you like these bands.
A strange fact: there is a revival, like a disco revival.

Was NIRVANA original in the early nineties?
They inspired a lot of other groups, and they gave us an image about the nineties.

I looked around as I do for all the topic: who by the way are IMPOSSIBLE to read them all.
Last_rebel, don corleone, upyerkilt, old doll to many to mention. It's not because you don't see your name here that I am not reading your topics, so here my apologies. I love this kind of topics, because
- I know pretty good the music and the timeline (timeline is very important)
- I love music "classics like Mozart" but also pop, blues, rock, hardrock, some disco, some RAP)
- a (disabled: and here is chordie playing an important role, all those nice people here, they keep me feeling good) pretty good guitar and I learn so much here.
There was indeed a kind of "a black hole" the blues from US to UK, rediscovery by a bunch of people: go to see John Mayall and the people who played with him.
Back to the beatles, I was thinking of the fact that DECCA, refused them, but they accepted the tremelous: main reason harmony. I go for Corleones answer. ALSO their solo careers were good, A LOT OF PEOPLE GAVE BAD CRITICS.
What made the Beatles so great, MUSIC, chemistry between them, and they evolved from a "catchy" tune, better EASIER TO PLAY FOR US, and they always surprised us, using other chords, add the engineers, and the music evolved with years. I have a book about the sound evolution, in casu the Beatles. The Rolling Stones, "dressed to kill" started as a blues group, and evolved too. They also wrote some songs, and I mean BALLADS, like Ruby Tuesday Lady Jane, and a lot more. To discuss that we need a new topic

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION? BUT I TRY

For what it's worth: I have a Gibson SG Menace, a killer guitar. BUT, as I wrote I am a PRS man, and you should try the SE serie, look at www.zzounds.com or www.musiciansfriend.com to have an idea about the SG guitars. There are US GIBSON SG for a reasonable price.
It might be possible that if you go for an Epiphone, they have real good guitars, and my favourite is not the Epiphone SG 400 but the EPIPHONE SPECIAL SG, and also the cheapest (199$, I think) but that's a matter of taste.
If you like SG's, I should spend more $$ and having a Gibson SG.
Look at the prices on these sites, but take also a look on eBay, I did some really great business also because of the very strong €. If I go to a music store here, I will pay at least twice the price.
