A guitar man once again.

I tried with acoustic back in my 20's but fingers were to short to barre a chord, tried later with an electric but same problem so I gave up.

 

Ha! My guitar teacher had a Beatles fixation. It didn't go down too well with those of his pupils (yours truly included) that wanted to play Led Zep, Deep Purple, Cream etc. So we formed a group I played bass and sang. Oh happy, happy days. It was worth only having long fingernails on one hand

 

I tried both piano and guitar back in my younger days. My Mum played piano and we had one in the back room so we all use to have a go. Unfortunately none of us really took after Mum!
I went through my Hippie stage and attempted to strum away on my guitar......but nothing recognisable emerged.

 

Wow that's brilliant !! Are you on vocals as well?

 

Only fretless instruments. The guitar's frets avoid that problem. A piano is easier than a guitar (not that I can play piano) as each note (pitch not name) can only be played in one place. On a guitar, a single pitch can be played anywhere from two to five places.

 

No. I have no singing voice.

 

Just now I am working on the rhythm for Dire Straits, "Sultans of Swing". That is a good workout. An hour of that is as good as an hour of Cardio in the gym.

 

I was always asked if I could play "over the hills and far away".
But I couldn't remember who played that one.

 

Had a go at recording the rhythm for Sultans of Swing.

Impressive Jock.

 

Thanks.

 

I'll second what Upsydaisy said Jocko. I wish I could play guitar.
