Ray Keep at it Ray, its all about practice, sounds like you've got the bug and that's the main part... once you've got the chord shapes sorted you can concentrate on your rhythm hand. I picked up the guitar at 17 as I was in awe of my best mates uncle who played in a few bands, toured Germany back in the day... he was an amazing musician.. he taught me a few chords and id lay in bed with headphones on plugged into an amp and make horrible noises lol... he put a band together with me, I sang and played a bit my brother played bass, and his nephew played drums, we also had another of his nephews playing keyboard for a bit ..we needed a lead guitarist (im an average strummer).. so we called the band Some Other Bloke (SOB) as that's exactly what we needed...I met the "some other bloke" when I was messing with a buskers guitar up town, would sit and play with him pissed after pubs... this night a bloke walked past and said "can I have a go"...he was fuckung brilliant...I asked him if he was in a band, he said no...so we went on the piss and I played him a 2 track demo tape we had recorded of 2 songs id written...the next day he was in the band...we played for over 20 years in that set up... it was f***ing brilliant, played a few festivals, carling academy, got offered a deal when I was too old to play that game...but the times were amazing...I'm not a good guitarist, or singer...but I was an OK front man abd could write a song...Happy happy days!

Do you miss it or still play, you got acoustic, or still play electric, just mean having the odd strum for 1/2 at home. PS thanks for the few tips regards playing, yeh once drop on the chords clean/quick, I know it get easier to play the acoustic guitar, OK the uke easier to play with 4 strings, my guitar 6 strings , and you are 100%right it's practice practice deff, the bloke teaching me said, the more hours you put in the better you get, and yeh I deff bug for it, I love this ( tanglewood 6 string guitar) love playing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
