I love listening to Spotify and singing along, in the car. I seem to get from A to B much quicker.

It’s one thing to be able to play music, and hats off to those who had the ability and desire to practise and slog away at it for years on end. But it also takes something to appreciate it, listening for subtle nuances etc.
With that in mind and kinda aimed at @win231 , I went to a recital a couple of days ago (and took some friends who had never been to one). The program was …
Naturally his website has removed the details from the other day, but it had the same content.

I’ve had various guitars for fifty years, spurred on by the ‘punk’ dictum
Still can’t play a tune you’d recognise, but I used to enjoy thrashing the life out of my first cheap electric guitar in my bedroom as a teenager, at least until the tinnitus set in.
I guess I’m an Ernie Wise type of musician, I play all the right notes, not necessarily in the right order!

Don’t replace anything, unless you have to, ‘all original’ vintage guitars are worth a small fortune.
Grief!
That was from a fanzine wasn’t it, I have the feeling I had a copy of that one…memory jogged!
According to Wiki…
’ Sniffin’ Glue is often incorrectly credited as the source of the illustration featuring drawings of three guitar chord shapes, captioned, “this is a chord, this is another, this is a third. Now form a band”,[this drawing actually originally appeared in January 1977 in another fanzine Sideburns and was later reproduced in [The Stranglers] fanzine STRANGLED’
I thought I’d read it in NME, Wiki proved me wrong.

That’s what sprung to mind!
Fanzines were common place back in the day…sometimes handed out at gigs, The Marquee and The 100 Club…

That’s a lovely bass Chilliboot . I have a weakness for blue guitars and basses. A great way to learn is to choose a song you enjoy and look up bass covers on YouTube. There are usually several and if you are patient you can pause the video and copy what the player is doing. I began on Guitar when I was 8. I have 2 basses. They are both shortscale as I am only 5 foot 3. I have an Epiphone Allen Woody RumbleKat and an Ibanez Mikro. I write and record songs, playing all the instruments and singing. My main passion is the electric guitar and I adore telecasters. Santa brought me a Fender Mustang this Christmas. I’m very happy with it. Music is a fantastic hobby. My favourite bass player is Nick Campbell of Pomplamoose.

It was a lovely bass Rane, wonderful colour.
The fly in the ointment was that it didn’t sound too lovely when I tried to play it. I’m sometimes tempted to have another go given that as you say we have access to YouTube, we shall see. It’s just fitting in all those different interests and hobbies.
A big welcome to the forum by the way!

Music is life in general, you dedicate, you try, you practice, then you bump into a “natural” and think “what the heck”

Thank you @Chilliboot . It only takes one good bass cover to make you fall in love with bass playing again… Try this one
