Nice guitar that. Smaller bodied as well:)

I'm sitting here looking at various posts on here as you do. This might have been covered before but I've not seen it....so how did it start for you? I mean the playing of a musical instrument? For me it was a longish drawn out thing. When I was about 12-13 I remember my uncle coming into the house with Gibson SG. He must have been excited about it, but I didn't understand GAS at the time. I remember him clearly placing the strap button against the old wardrobe door and struming away on it...the wardrobe was sort of acting as an amp. TBH I wasn't impressed. A couple of year later he dropped off and old Yamaha Acoustic. this is mid 70's. So I started pinging out stuff. Smoke on the water on one strings was about it. No idea if it was tuned at it was always one string only business. I thought I was the mutts nuts when I played it in the fashion of 'Made in Japan' the live album. Then things started to take off. I was playing along to harmonies on records.....all on the one string of course. Then a pal showed me that you could move down or up a string instead of sliding up the same string several frets. Wow! Breakthrough. Next came Caroline by Quo. Bye this time I was really looking at guitars of my own. Really struggling to get money for a decent guitar......a Baldwin Galaxy or something I can't remember now, so an Audition from Woolies had to do. No money for an amp of course...so wardrobe door came back. Got fed up of that very quickly indeed. Also began to notice that the thing didn't sound right so it lay in the corner of the bedroom for ages. God know how long after that, but at least 3-4 years passed before my then girlfriends friend brought her boyfriend (her hubby) round. He saw the guitar picked it up and mucked about with it (I now know he was tuning it) and he strummed out Tangerine by Led Zep. I was amazed. Plus I could see the girls were impressed and I wanted some of that action. Still no amp though. So swapped the electric for a old 12 string, removed 6 strings and I started learning Tangrine from him, and a few other. The rest they say is history. How was it for you? PS. Sorry if this has been done before.

Gee amazing. 45 minutes to get two 'hard to find' folk for a band. I knew I should have played something other than guitar. Nice one dude:)

Anyone on here play golf? I've got some clubs to sell. Ping G20 yellow dot irons. VGC. 175 quid.

No one interested in this interesting guitar?

Eh! they look like J45's or am I missing something. Damn I'm missing something ain't I?

ah!!!! https://www.google.co.th/images?hl=en-TH&q=epiphone+j45&gbv=2&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ei=cPRcU7zBCMLtrAeG3oG4Cw&ved=0CCkQsAQ is this them???

I'm surprised at that as well. Saying that they probably make something pretty damn close but call it something else,,like 450j or something lol.

Gibson acoustics are all right, they're no Martin though. Also debatable I suppose but it depends on what you like. Acoustics are no different from any other guitar.....you pay your money and make your choice. I have a LP Jnr DC RI and a melody maker from R&B. The LP was 5 times the price of the Melody maker....however I prefer the sound of the MM and would sell the LP long before the MM.

I've been saying that since I was about 20.

Thats a great photograph...lol

Now I think that's debatable as well. I've played a couple of J200's and they are really good and look nice. However I wouldn't say they look a lot better than a J45. there's something pretty cool about a J45 I think.

I've got a couple of decent acoustics...but GAS is setting in. I think it's because there's a picture of one on the wee pop up ads on this site. Who said advertising doesn't work

Aberdeen traffic system has bee fooked for years now and will probably stay that way for many more. This is just going to sort out a tiny part of the problem.....if any.

I've get a wee fancy for a Gibson Acoustic just now.

Cool or what!!!!

No way!! Is that possible? You are winding me up right?????

I can't play bass but when I see things that Ricky I wish I could. Cool as bit min.

haha, well no it's not Bugsy Broons place.

Erm! I've no idea if his name was Bugsy Brown.....sorry. It was a friend of a friend and his name is Steve

Who's Bugsy like?

But, I was looking some stuff on youtube as you do and came across Teenage Kicks. With it came other vids about the Undertones and of course John Peel (nearly 10 year dead I think). I started listening several postings of him chatting at the start of his radio program and or during the show. He was mentioning some bands that I'd not heard of for ages.....min I wiz nearly greetin:( I would listen to him every night without fail in them days. Excited about what he would be playing...what I would hear and want to buy or what my mates might buy and I would get them to make a 'mixed tape' to play on my Ghetto Blaster (if I had money for the batteries) I know I'm an old fart, but I think those were exciting times in music (late 70's) Anyway, I'll leave you to it, I'm away to get some tissues and listen to some mair classics:)

I worked several years in Africa....I know that smell well. It trully is horrible. It's not like haddock or cod smell..................it just reeks min!

I remember seeing them backing Cosmic Rough Riders I think. I liked them then. Lately.....not so much....I dinna get it to be honest. Not saying they are bad because they have a following that likes them a lot.

oh min. Nae idea really but probably something by the following: The Who= Greatest Hits or something like that. Wolfmother = Can't remember OCS= M-Shoals When I heard their albums I was like....man I want to play in a band just like that. I'm hopeless with LP names etc. I remember hearing TFC Grand Prix and also made me want to learn to play better.
