Re: what do you think of the prices of pedals these days (2 replies, posted in Effects)
They always have been overpriced I think. I don't have any at the moment (limited resources and plenty of hobbies!) but I had one of the four-in-one sets a few years ago (whatever happened to it, come to think of it) because that was the most cost-effective system.

Oh yes it is . . . . if you look all serious and occasionally shake your head when you're playing it people think you're exceptionally deep.

Re: Need some classical tabs (4 replies, posted in Guitar Tab Requests)
So far the extent of my classical playing is the intro to Metallica's "nothing else matters" but having played it about 82,000 times over the last twenty years, I feel that I am ready to progress . . .

Topic: Need some classical tabs (4 replies, posted in Guitar Tab Requests)
Hi guys,
Can anyone help me out with some ideas for where to start with basic classical tabs? I've been feeling the need to play something a bit more mellow and graceful but don't really know where to begin.
Any thoughts?

Why do divers sit on the the side of the boat and go backwards into the water?
Because if they went forwards they'd end up in the boat.

Re: tapping the foot (6 replies, posted in Everything Else)
Perhaps you're more of a lead guitarist than a rhythm guitarist. It took me years to accept that I was naturally a rhythm guitarist; I struggled against this because I wanted to play sexy cool solos but just couldn't, then I realised that being able to keep rhythm was a skill that few lead guitarists had - neither one is better than the other but very few musicians are skilled at both.

Re: what makes you click with your guitars (1 replies, posted in Guitars)
Each of my guitars has a story to it. My acoustic was borrowed from my friend Greg about ten years ago. I don't think he remembers. My classical is actually my wife's, it came to her from her great aunt who had it for years - neither could play so I've claimed it by default. My acoustic-electric, which is the guitar of choice these days, was a 30th birthday present from my wife and my electric was a Christmas present about 6 or 7 years ago.

Wasn't for me.
gosh mikey, that's not too cool
actually if you hang in there and go at it slowly I think over time you'll be a biker
heck I'm in my mid 50's and I can go 6 hours on bicycle, but recently the sun is a bit too hot for me, so I should say during peak summer , maybe now 3 hours
What are the temperatures like over there? I thought the climate was pretty temperate.

Re: how often do you pick up your guitar to do some serious practicing (3 replies, posted in Guitars)
Oh yeah, more than about half and hour is a long session for me these days, what with work, family, other hobbies.
I don't force it. Playing guitar is a luxury and a pleasure, I would hate it to become a chore so I play when it takes my fancy and I play what I want, not what I think I should.

Re: the war in afghanistan (6 replies, posted in Misc)
The problem is that we've created such a mess that we can't just get up and go because it would just be chaos.
I agree with Olly. We had no right being there in the first place. And John makes a good point - our young men and women are dying on an almost daily basis. The lessons of Vietnam seem to be lost to history.
