Re: Music includes opera too...
Music is music, it transcends what we think. Opera is shite, or great, music must have value to the listener.. In Italia 1990 we all heard Nessun Dorma, which means "No person sleeps" if my Italian is correct. But that doesn't matter, but what is important is what it means to you as a piec...

Isn't music so wonderful and diversel!!

Re: 12 string guitars
Hi all, Been reading this with interest. I have an Ovation 6 and a Fender Strat, and since lockdown, I have been looking for the 12 string I saw Gordon play in Dartford in 83-84, that I thought I could never afford.. Or something similar. Gonna show my ignorance here with a naive question!! Due to m...

Re: Recently started to play the guitar
Hi Tom, How are things going now? As was mentioned, just muck about with the basic shapes of A Am C D E Em and get to know what they sound like... Then quickly (Took me ages) you will find them all over the fretboard, try to learn what is where. This helped me immensely. Loads of good stuff on YouT...

Screaming Strat
Hi all, Hope you’s are all safe and well. I recently bought a Mexican manufactured Strat off an auction site. Action is good, the whammy bar does not put it out of tune. I only paid a hundred for it as there is something not quite right with the toggle switch. From the neck end the first four positi...

Re: Ovation Celebrity
Hi Brad, Thanks for the reply. I believe that Celebrities have a high action from the factory as it is easier to avoid fret buzz on what is essentially a mass produced guitar, could be wrong, anyway, when I lowered the bridge on both, I put the neck(s) onto a jig I made at work to keep them from mov...

Re: Finding a good guitar tutor?
What are you looking for exactly ? Do you just want to learn to play songs you like, or all the theory ?What didn’t work with the tutors you had before? I have been playing since 1983 and I am just about reasonable, Pub Covers Band level. I have very little natural talent and cannot compose. I had l...

Re: Ovation Celebrity
Can anyone help?

Ovation Celebrity
Hi, I have two Ovation Celebrity semi acoustics which I bought second hand. I lowered the bridge on both as the action was sky high with great results. Now ten years later, I have an issue with the intonation but only on the E and A on both guitars, being the fretted 12th note is a quarter/fifth ton...

Re: Black Crowes
Thanks Sue,
No, of course I would never put up a link to
anything of that nature, but links can be
linked to stuff that we did not intend.
I'll just stick to a description of it. Safer
that way.
Cheers!!

Re: Black Crowes
This week I am listening to Jamiroquai.
From the concert Viña 2018 in Columbia.
It is on YouTube. I would put the link but
I am not sure if that is allowed on here.
Check the track "Don't give hate a chance"
Minimal guitar but a phenomenal bass
player.

Re: Musical tastes are personal and varied
I think everyone has a certain style or type of music that we will always listen to or go back to, for me it is decent hard rock/metal/blues but I will really listen to anything. I believe that music is just a way of communication, and if it does that, then it has succeeded, whether that be musicall...
