My wife bought me a guitar stand for Christmas. I'm so damn lazy I often think of an evening I'll have a play, but that means getting my guitar case, opening it, getting my guitar out. Too much...
Thanks Frets, appreciate that.
Playing more often now that at any time since I started playing in the mid 60s, and loving it. Got a gig at our local museum in a few weeks - hope they let us back...
Haven't written many songs, though I always felt I ought to have done. When my guitar partner and our wives went to Cornwall in the summer we saw a sign saying 'Only Jesus Can Mend a Broken Heart'....
Thanks a lot for that in depth review, much appreciated. I've been playing without effects for, well, more years than I care to mention, but the guy who I play with has always had a sneaky lusting...
Frets, what do you think of that Korg Pandora mini you were getting. It looks really good for the price. Would you recommend it to be used at open mics for my acoustic? Used sparsely, maybe a bit of...
For about 40 years I got by with micing the guitar but hated being stuck in one spot (though I'm way past doing the duck walk). I had an under the bridge pick-up fitted but it just didn't sound as...
After years of Flash I've had to dive into HTML and have done a couple of sites plus a couple of Flash sites the customer wanted redone to show on iPhone, which brought in some welcome cash.

Number 3 son, who plays guitar, recently bought an iPad. I sent him your link and now he's saving up for an iTar for when they come out over here. Look forward to having...
When I was looking into getting a new one I saw a young woman, a local singer/songwriter, playing excellent finger style and her guitar sounded great. I talked to her afterwards and she showed me her...
Hey Frets, sorry to butt in, but after 44 years with my old Hoyer I bought a new guitar - a Takamine EG 50th Anniversary. After I had a pick up fitted to my old one a couple of years back, and now...
When I joined, getting on for 10 years ago, knowing nothing about Flash, I thought what a friendly, helpful place it was. I really could ask a stupid question without feeling belittled by the answer....
J, that must have been quite an experience.
Actually, it's a line from Fawlty Towers I like to throw in to conversations occasionally. Like when I got a parking ticket once.
Just got in from playing, singing and drinking wine and according to the numbers at the bottom of the page thing it's just me. I could just SHHHHOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!! And no one would hear.

Well, as I said I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family, but musically I stay around my hometown - not having transport other than a bike and a bus pass limits me a bit. But we put on...
A few years back, when I started working from home, because I was too old to get a proper job, I'd get up, put the coffee machine on, have breakfast, check my mail, make a coffee and check on here....
