Guitar man

That'll be me next week when my 'starter' guitar kit arrives next week.

The harp is brill and I love learning how to do those lovely bluesy sounds, bending notes etc, but it's so fucking loud I have to practice in the bathroom or outside - both very cold in wintertime, brrr.

So, I've decided to have a wee bash at a leccy guitar with headphones, quiet enough not to disturb Anne when she's sleeping but loud enough to give me a bit of pleasure over the long winter months whilst learning a couple of riffs - that'll do me.

Another of my 'things to do before I snuff it' in the bag.

Guess what...

No, you too!

No, I could play one though before I fucked my left hand up and went onto bass guitar.

Guess what...

You're tugging your wire as we speak?

Good guess!!! But wrong Cheesy.

Nah, I broke my left wrist many years ago and since I stopped gardening full time it's started seizing up a tad - so, I thought the guitar might help to loosen it up some.

Damn.

I was told that my latest break will give me arthritus...


within 18 months!

They can fuck off. I'm not getting it!!!!

It aint that bad Cheese, with regular easy excercise you can keep the joints supple and moving. Just dont sit down and stop.

I was told that shite too - fifteen years ago, fucking doctors are paranoid bastards.

Exercise is definitely the answer - even wanking Al, but as it's my left wrist that's mashed and I'm right-handed - I thought guitar playing would loosen my left hand up a tad more.

Anyway, got the bugger on Wednesday and been fiddling with it since (no silly comments you wankers). Left hand finger tips are mega sore, also left fingers, wrist, forearm, shoulder - fuck I thought I was reasonably fit...Bugger.

BUT! It's fucking brilliant fun and I just know my fingers and wrist will loosen
up before I snuff it....That'll do me.

Build up the callouses on the finger tips Ray, and keep them!!!

Told yoiu before Cavey. 100 then change hands - it gives both wrists a workout. (So I'm told!!)

Bill, I've got calluses on my willy maybe I should use that instead? "That guitar player's a right fucking knob!" I hope you cunts noticed what I did there?

Seriously though, I know all about calluses being in the manual labour game for most of my working life - I remember watching my manly hands lose a 1/4 inch of callus and turn into girly hands within a month or two after giving up work to look after Anne.

She mostly loved my rough horny skinned hands but occasionally she'd be pissed off because they ripped her more 'delicate' items of clothing....chortle...




Anyway, I digressed there for a wank. So I need horny finger tips? Bugger, that usually means lots of hard work and some pain ahead - arse.

A hundred each way Al?

Fuck me mate, you're quick!

trying to learn the guitar aswell, would have preferd to take up the drums though but there just too loud to learn quietly

Try lekky ones from Maplins.

oooh never thought of that, but are they any good or has anyone tried them

Dunno, but if you get some, let me know cos I fancy some. They might be cheaper on eblob BTW.
THERE'S THIS (clicky) But it's pickup in Edinburgh.

Lots of usb drumkits if you do a search - too many to link to!!

Won't they be loud too?

Or is it like drumming on a rubber cushion - fucking pervert!

Turn the volume down yer dafy auld sod!

Dunno about the other, what's it like?

I think you've played drums with too many chicken drumsticks Al!

Seriously though, wooden drumsticks are very noisy no matter what material you bang them on (oo'er) aren't they?

How the fuck do I know? I'm not a fukkin drumist.
Just bang them quietly FFS.

Now he's killed Bert Weedon!
