I know there's a few of us on here. Would be interesting to know what you're up to (as opposed to this just being a lot of youtube vids of good guitarists).
What guitars do you have? What style do you play? How do you practice?

This might help, btw I went to a 'workshop' thingy at a guitar store In Newbury yonks ago and Albert Lee was there.
AL at Norms Rare Guitars.
'Preciate it Ted….I'll check that out. I remember Albert saying some people might think that pedal is “cheating” but if you play one bum note the whole thing falls apart ! Edit..he's quite something is he not ?!! I saw Hank Wangford at the Half Moon in Putney and his gittar player Andy Roberts used that delay. There's a band called Highway 101 whose guitarist achieves the glassiest Strat sound I've heard.

I'm not into Country at all but Albert's playing is so tasty. He's on another level.

Anyone on here got an SG? I picked up an Epiphone standard cherry 60's SG and it was beautiful. Always resisted them for some reason as I'm not keen on the shape.Anyone else play a different model.?

My first proper guitar in the late 60s was an SG from a shop ( Bell's ), in Ewell Surrey. I got a green bus ,anyone remember them ? on a Saturday morning from Hammersmith. I'd had a skinful the night before so had to get off at Tolworth to spew up. Got the SG home and didn't like it at all. Phoned the shop and they said bring it back and swap for a 335. Much better, had it for years. Eventually traded it in for a lovely old Strat at TW Music in Fulham

I had a Cherry Red Gibson SG Tribute I purchased brand new last year for £999.00. They are the base model USA made SG, I cant tell a lie I never really got on with It and I sold It earlier this year. Nothing wrong with the guitar, playability was fine It was just me I had a 'silly moment' In the shop and bought It. I'm not a great fan of Gibson guitars (love the history though) back In the 90's I had a Gibson Les Paul Classic fitted with 57 PAF's that sounded Incredible but weighed a ton and was subsequently P/Xd against a Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic Telecaster, (I just couldnt help myself). That Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic Telecaster was loaned by me to a guitarist that I knew and has been used since in a few recordings, he hassled me until I agreed to sell It to him.
Expensive hobby BTW.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Lovely story. They do seem to be an acquired taste.

Any ageing muso help me with this ? My wife was watching TV and I was doing the crossword and having a beer as per usual. Mention was made on TV of a majorette. Immediately a song came into what I call my mind. I think it was 70s, probably English and a line in the chorus was “she's a majorette” with the singer's voice lifting sharply to utter “majorette” I can't get it out of my head. Nothing on Google.
