Well wear it pal.
Guitar wankers. Always ruin a good party.
Along with some cunt who wants to sing ‘Grace’ in the living room & not a note in his head.
I have an acoustic; nothing fancy or anything but can play a bit. Got lessons a few years ago and they were worth it. You’re at nothing trying to teach yourself from YouTube, unless you have the foundations right.
Wouldn’t play in public or at parties cc @tazdedub; it’s actually hard enough to play if you’re in any way as inebriated as I would be by the time the guitars come out. That trend around ten years ago of every second young one at parties singing Caledonia or There Were Roses put me off that carry on anyway.
I found most people at the house parties I went to didn’t actually want to hear me beating a guitar to death with Funeralopolis or some under doom number (surprisingly), so I generally left it off. Ended up at a sesh a couple of years back where five or six of us ended up murdering a few Irish songs until 6am, and it kind of got me back into it.
Work on your timing. Play to a metronome or play along with “tapes” and the likes. If you have no timing, you’re wasting all of our time.
Moving the discussion from Celebrity Deaths over to its rightful home. Will post some EVH later, but listening to an album at the minute that turned 40 earlier this summer. Back in Black. There isn’t a wasted note on it, nevermind a bad song. Bon Scott era AC/DC would be my preference, but this album is unquestionably their best.
A handy little piece of equipment here. It is a battery powered amp that your headphones plug into; means that you are not restricted to playing in whatever room your regular amp is in.

Don’t worry mate, it’s a Squier
Had one of those before. Great bit of kit.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Who knew we had a guitar wanker thread.
A thread made for my son.
He’s in Barcelona at the moment.
It’s a welcome break from the guitar.
