It is! Fender 50s Vintera modified. I’d decided on a tele and played about 10 before choosing this one. It just felt right and sounded great.

Pity I can’t play for s**t. I hadn’t picked up a guitar for over 20 years but decided I wanted to learn to play properly so went and bought myself an acoustic and a guitar and amp and have been taking lessons for a couple of months. It’s slow progress but there’s definitely progress.

I bought an acoustic electric guitar during covid and tried to self teach myself. Didn't work

Haven't touched it for 6 months. Do you find the lessons worth it?

I do and if I had more free time for regular practice I'd be making a lot more progress.

I didn't go in blind though, I'd played very badly in my late teens/early twenties and knew there was a lot of work required. I don't have rock star expectations, it's something for me to enjoy at my own pace and bash out a few songs for the kids.

FWIW I'm finding with so far my lessons have been good for learning basic chord transitions and strumming/picking patterns - there's been a lot of undoing some bad habits from being self taught a long time ago - there's still muscle memory there decades later. A bit further on I'll be utilising a lot of online guitar learning stuff but I want to have a solid base to build on first.

Why I’ve embraced going to the pub on my own

Having a bit more “me time” than usual, I discovered the small joys of passive socialising.

I read this like a horrific crash that kept getting worse

I like to go to the pub solo and drown my sorrows, saloon style.

I taught myself online as a teenager. There's so much content, I honestly don't think lessons are worth it. I did have almost unlimited time to learn though.

I don't have a musical bone in my body, but I thank the guitar dudes here for rescuing the thread.

I reckon people who are into rare guitars or music shit may as well post their golf putter collection.

I got an electric a few years ago, and took a lesson (have no musical bone in my body either) and the teacher who expected me to know a lot more despite the fact I spoke to the school previously repeatedly that I had NFI when it came to music. Haven't touched it since.( mainly due to taking more program heavy jobs and my brain being fried)

What sites do you use? Apparently Justin Guitar is pretty good?

My brain is also fried and I have no musical talent.

Justin Guitar looks like a good place to start. The website is free.

I play harmonica tho I've barely touched one for years. Pretty shit hot too.

Even more than a guitar its about feeeeeeeel.

And learning to breathe so the music flows thru you.

I had an online mate who builds or built effects pedals. Haven't caught up for over a decade.

Since Facebook turned up and ever other bastard joined it I lost track of alot of people. He used to run a discussion board like this one dedicated to building them.

Haven't had the cops turn up to tell us to turn it down for years. It has happened a few times though.

Sorry about the noise.

That post of mine sounds a bit snarky today. I was working my way up to a point with a bit more substance but had had a few too many and passed out before I got there - likely absolute tosh anyway. Nice putter.

Yeah i had a few old forumates from various forums that have closed up over the years, you sort of take the off topic banter on specific forums for granted then the forum ceases and you never make contact with said people again, if the cheif shut this down would be similar .
