RF OWNERS CLUB

Well spotted BA. yep had lessons when I was 13. Got up to grade 8 when I was 18.

joined a band as lead guitar and it was all down hill from there lol.

I will re-write those bits and put it back up soon.

Always envied the folk/blues sound but I just cant flatten my wrist. Also can't hold down those he-man string gauges lol

Wasnt hard to spot can see the pro finger work

I wish I'd done that.. I just watched people on tv and maybe got the odd sheet music..



Been there lol..

All part of youth's fun








lol the only reason i learned to flatten the wrist was because i had to have it on the guitar.. otherwise, out in the air like yours.. it would end up by my elbow if i wasnt watching it... LOL I HATE SEEING MY RIGHT HAND WOBBLING AROUND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE STATIC, LIKE MY LEFT IS SPOSED TO BE PERPENDICULAR TO THE FRETBOARD

lol.. I've got .48 - .10 's on mine.. medium gauge.. most i can handle.. Im looking to get some lights for teh 12 string. That is a nightmare to pick with even mediums.. THE ARIA IS A BORROWED GUITAR AND IT STILL HAD THE SHOP STRINGS ON IT, I GOT A SET OF EXTRA LIGHTS AND IT WAS A DREAM BUT THE BUGGER WENT OUT OF TUNE EVERY 30 SECONDS. THESE ARE LIGHTS - CANT REMEMBER THE GUAGES

I hate blues... Folks ok and country.. but I hate Blues..
MET DAVEY GRAHAM AT RONNIE SCOTTS ONCE - BEFORE I KNEW WHO HE WAS

MY 2 BIG GUITAR HEROES (HEAD) JEFF BECK - SAW HIM AT LIVERPOOL UNI - EARLY JEFF BECK GROUP - STILL WAY AHEAD OF ANYONE THERES NO-ONE LIKE HIM
(HEART) MR ERIC CLAPP - NEVER SEEN HIM LIVE - HATED THE CREAM ERA - BUT 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD WAS A STAND OUT ALBUM AND A COUPLE OF TRACKS ON THE BLUESBREAKERS ALBUM MAKE ME BLUB EVERY TIME. OH AND ALL THOSE GUYS WHO PLAYED FOR STEELY DAN
I was allways a Rainbow 'ritchie blackmore' and Genesis fan.. prefered the classical influence..

CLASSICAL HEROES WERE ALIRIO DIAZ AND JULIAN BREAM - SAW BOTH LIVE AND NEARLY CLAPPED MY HANDS OFF

cant stand Led Zep.. I'd love to play full on classical like John Williams and segovia.. counterpoint and pedal tones facinate me..

MY GUITAR TEACHER PLAYED ME A CLIP OF JOHN WILLIAMS AGED FOURTEEN PLAYING THE STUDY I WAS LEARNING. NEARLY GAVE UP THERE AND THEN

Properly done their just like modern day sequencers.. AGREED I HATE CLASSICAL PLAYERS OF ANY INSTRUMENT USING A LOT OF RUBATO ( FECKING AROUND WITH THE RHYTHM TO MAKE THEMSELVES SOUND DRAMATIC) I HAD 2 TEACHERS, ONE STARTED AS A JAZZ PLAYER, THE OTHER ONLY CLASSICAL. THEY USED TO DO CONCERTS WITH A MIX OF EACH- THE JAZZ GUY COULD MAKE THE CLASSICAL STUF SWING WITHOUT CHANGING THE RHYTHM

I've just finished nailing 'Classical Gas' which has been a lifelong ambition (that one should be a doddle for you) I'M A LAZY GIT AND ALTHOUGH I'VE PICKED OUT THE FIRST FEW LINES I'VE NEVER GOT ROUND TO LEARNING THE WHOLE THING - CHORDS ARE A BIT COMPLICATED IF I REMEMBER. LETS HEAR IT
and 'Horrizons' by Genesis (Steve Hacket)PERSONALLY NOT A HACKET DEVOTEE BUT EACH TO HIS OWN ETC

My computers been in bits for just over a week now but i should be back on proper by tmoz..

Lets have a classical gas if you know that one
