There's something special about people who can play the guitar. F up in school not learning it when given the chance

What about people who could play the recorder? Like me

I reckon at least 90% of guitars bought by beginners end up not being used after a couple of months.

Just teach yourself, I managed to learn how to play it somewhat on my own (and youtube of course). Can play a few songs and a lot of sections of songs (I always wondered why my mates never learnt the whole song, hen I ended up doing the same thing - impatience and boredom of the same song over and over)

Is that what you call it?

A '**** n Balls' has appeared on the footpath we do our nightly walks on. 8 year old son asking what it is - made me laugh.

Apparently it could be a rocket or a bullet - he had no explanation for what the round bit at the bottom is in either scenario

I heard him on the radio the other day. Very articulate and intelligent man. Who looks somewhere between a wizard and a Hasidic Jew.

Last year I bought a Strat and a Marshall Code 50, but I was missing having a good acoustic guitar. I have a cheaper Nylon string but wanted steel. Now I have a pretty sweet set up and the time to play. Summer I dont really get the chance to play either.

Can you use headphones to crank it?

Nice guitar! Yeah you can, not as much fun, I like trying to make the windows shake while blasting out some Slayer or something.

I've got a Maton cutaway and an Epiphone Les Paul with EMG pickups, got a Blackstar valve amp as well. I'm no gun, can just play metal riffs that i like and some bluesy stuff (scales aren't a waste of time it turns out!)

Sending my wife to pick up my dry cleaning, it's usually just one item but I got three suits (with extra pants) and three jackets done, basically my whole business wardrobe. The thought of her having to carry all of that amuses me greatly.

Status Quo got away with using the same three chords for their entire career and they were inexplicably successful.

Of course, but the challenge of how you put those chords together is what's difficult. Musical w***ery is not that listenable a lot of the time.
