Re: BEER(that got your attention) (18 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
caught my attention even at 8 30 in the morning !! in the UK there are loads of small independent breweries , you find a lot of bars have their beers as guest ales and change them round so you get a good variety , some unusual names for the beers though e.g. Bishops finger , an howl , monkey ipa , but loads to try !!

Sounds like the one I have if it is it is well worth buying,I paid $20.00 for it around 1999,so it may be a little cost a little more now or a little less. I use mine a lot as I am a great fan of thiers.
the one i saw was the paperback version on amazon for $18.00 , got a birthday coming up so i think this will be on my list !

Re: patting myself on the back (23 replies, posted in Acoustic)
the thing is no one really likes to hear themselves when they have been taped or recorded we always sound different to what we think , we aren`t all blessed with good singing voices so we just have to make do with what we have , i`m sure our families are used to our wailing so just let rip and enjoy !!

Just the opposite with me. Loved strumming and singing along to Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, John Denver and the likes. My daughter set up her computer to record me on video.... big mistake as I now realise how bad my singing is, its knocked the stuffing and enthusiasm out of me. Still strum but now just whisper the words under my breath just to help keep time.
hardydog as long as it sounds good to you dont worry about anyone else , when i`m singing along at least i know i will get the room to myself !! long as you enjoy it it doesn`t matter , just don`t record yourself again !!

I don't have any influences as far as bands or artists. I am sitting right next to Beamer in the "Metal" boat. I appreciate acoustic playing more tho. No effects just pure guitar. The diff sounds that people can get out of an acoustic is just awesome. That's what makes me want to play.
agree there z have seen some people playing acoustic i iust don`t like the music but the playing is awesome

I grew up in western NC with Texas parents. Locally we had a heavy influence of county (like Hank Sr.), which was intermixed with pop, rock, and R&B and whatever else was playing on the radio. My dad was a big Texas swing fan (liked Bob Wills music) and also liked dixieland jazz while my mom was a big Burt Bacharach & Hal David fan. I always remember music playing at my house of one type or another. I guess that's why I'm open to most all types of music so long as it is good.
I was much the same jets , my elder brothers were always playing rock and roll , bill haley , elvis , buddy holly etc , and things like lonnie donnegan , and my mom was into sort of mario lanza , dean martin , so quite a varied musical education.

When I was young my musical influences were quite narrow being mainly centred on rock and progressive rock your Led Zep, Yes, ELP and Cream etc all with amazing lead guitarist. As I've got older my musical influences have just exploded from classical to what I even hear on the Eurovision song contest I've now come to the conclusion there is no bad musical influences just some that I prefer more than others.
ark
think i would have to draw the line at the eurovision thing !!! but i agree i don`t think there is a thing as bad musical influences , you don`t have to really like all types of music or artists but even the ones you dislike you can still be influenced by, i am not a great c& w fan but there are some great singer songwriters in that field.

Topic: musical tastes / influences (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Being a bit of a newbie on here forgive me if this thread has been done before , I was just wondering what type of music people like and what now influences there guitar playing. I have always been a rock fan , black sabbath , deep purple that sort of thing ,but while i still like this i like a lot more mellow sort of stuff nowadays , also got quite into blues acoustic and rock style, think my main influence on playing guitar is noel gallagher ( oasis ) love his acoustic stuff , and the beatles , plenty of stuff to try and learn there !

glad to hear your making progress 7, it is a super feeling when you find it's all coming together. but you must remember that quite a few of us members are nudging if not past that retirement age, but still busking or just enjoying the sweet tones and tunes made by our own sweet hands. you must keep us informed of your progress and busking plans....LOL. in the bullring perchance?
don`t think i would put my musical skills to the test in the bull ring not safe to walk through there a lot of the times !! I live out towards the airport which i could use the noise of the planes to my advantage in drowning out the singing a bit lol !!
