Today is Get Out Your Guitar Day

I've just started to learn playing guitar...so when we're camped up I can pluck a soft tune or two...

Fingers do hurt don't they!
5-10mins at a time is all I can do at the moment.
Enjoying it though.

But you say the milk carton is for sale? Is it in good condition? How much are you looking for? I could be interested....

Four strings is good, six if you absolutely must

As it happens, I shall be re-stringulating this fellow this evening...

 

Seeing as I have just re strung my old acoustic with classical strings, I will make it my mission to learn a basic classical tune this evening.

 

Put some tight trousers on and do some flamenco

 

The only harmonica holder is your hands - it just sounds wrong otherwise - even when Bob Dylan is playing

 

Ain't nobody want to see that

 

Will you be going for some full on Ritchie Blackmore riffage? I'm sure if I squeeze myself into some velvet loons I can maybe manage a few of the high notes on Child In Time

 

I thought Richie only played the Moldavian lute these days...

My poor old Strat...I don't pay him enough attention. He just wants to sing to me . Found at our local auction years ago lying neglected under a great pile of junk. Nobody seemed very interested on auction day, so I got a US-built Strat for a couple of hundred quid

 

I bought my son a 1983 Strat (de luxe) made in USA for his 16th birthday - cost £400 from Hessy's in Liverpool - that was 24 years ago - he was talking about selling it recently but I won't let him unless I get first dibs at the original price!

I'd insist on first dibs! Remind him who paid for it in the first place .

My one (from the serial number) is mid-to-late 90s, finished in attractive Glam-Rock Silver (or "Inca", as I believe Fender called it).

 

I miss my Strat
