Just curious to see what types of people you all are, other than creeps!!

If so, what's the most difficult song you've ever had to learn?

Mines gotta be Anesthesia (pulling teeth) by Metallica
Looks easier than it is

Just my Banjo String, hope I don't snap it

Who said we are creeps?

Not necessarily all of you Just.. some of you

And please tell me that's not in the way I think it is

Just curious to see what types of people you all are, other than creeps!!

I'm just a total mystery even to myself Loyal and hard working when it's something I enjoy. Jack of all trades master of none, Small circle of friends but when I make friends I I have them for life. A bit of a nutter but not a creep. Bordrline manic depressant schizophrenic. And no I don't really play any musical instruments but music is something very close to my heart. There's no middle ground with me I'm either yin or yang. Take everything to the extremes one way or another. I think that just about describes me.

Used to play bass(honner graphite neck fretless active,god I loved that bass walnut body)I'm a metalhead lots of fast stuff to learn ,but the one that got me was aces high iron madien,Steve Harris is a god,unbelievable speed and accuracy,bought the sheet music and thought I was reading lead guitar parts but oh no bloody nearly drove me mental trying to keep up ,sold bass not long after as I knew I was crap.

How about on my mouth Hohner organ ..Campdown races ..doo dah etc
Starspangled spanner,.. Panzerlied ,.. La Marseillaise, Amazing Grace , Ilkey Moor Baat Hat
... Our National Anthem...Yellow submarine ..Several Hornpipes, Jigs and reels
. or anything really I can hear or mimic usually very badly in the Key of C or G...Oh a few tunes on my accordion but I dont have it now coz I sold it to a jock last year.....Okk aye
Alb

Keep dabbling with guitar and harmonica but just have no natural ability at all!
I'm going to try and make more time with the guitar this Year and start having lessons again but time is the one thing I'm always short of

I play a bit of the guitar

to be a bit different - classical guitar. Started with my son years ago, he went electric I kind of liked it and took exams etc. Keep meaning to branch out down the eletric route. Mind you haven't picked it up in four years or so

There's a clue in my handle

Brother! cliff button and Steve Harris were my inspirations. I own a 5-string now though so I don't play much of their stuff. The B string is too tempting

Didn't realise there were so many musicians

I play the drums, my Avitar gives a clue

The Telecaster is a very underated guitar and much beloved of C&W players. Has a wicked bridge pickup but quite a weak neck one. I have fancied one for years but with 6 guitars in the house already.... (plus a sitar).

The Stratocaster has 3 pickups and is much more adaptable and versatile - I bought mine new in 1975 and used to play it every weekend in bands in a variety of styles. Fender used to make several sold body models, the Jaguar was another.

I have just rebuilt an old Squier strat, sprayed it blue and fitted humbuckers etc. Called it "Blues Baby" and through the little Yamaha valve sound practice amp I bought it sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughn is back with us!

I'm crap on guitar, bass and moothie.

Got a rather nice Ibanez SA that i picked up cheap, really need to get lessons again but like someone else said time is the problem.
