English Rose - The Jam

I think upsidedowner was doing the same as he'd just posted 'E' at the time.

Confusion (New Order) Both song and band relate to the last few posts 😁

Everything Starts With An 'E' (E-Zee Possee)

Night Boat to Cairo - Madness

Wasn't CITES relaxed or dropped on instruments lately? I seem to recall something being posted on here about it, maybe it was just relating to rosewood.

We gotta get out of this place - The Animals

I love an audience that splits into 3rds with one 3rd clapping on the 1 and 3,one 3rd on the 2 and 4 and rest just at some random timing of their own 🙄.

In The City - The Jam

What songs did you run through, Beat The Clock, Turn Back Time & Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word? 😉

I've always played this with two fingers, I just can't seem to not trip up with three. It sounds OK but not perfect. But, I have played it on a Danelectro Longhorn without breaking the strings. Does this mean I'm better than JE? No, I thought not. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the link, I'll have a look later and see if I can improve. 👍

Time For Action - Secret Affair

Spill the beans then. What are they doing, skydiving?

Cuppa tea

123?

Absolutely agree about Stuart Morrow. Smalltown England's bassline is so simple yet it sounds absolutely perfect, such a great tone.

Runnin' down a dream - Tom Petty

Move on up - Curtis Mayfield

Well there's a coincidence, I was just about to post that I've always loved the bass tone, and how it sits, on The Cure's live Entreat album. I love the 'grindiness' of it. and possibly the best version of Disintegration recorded by them,

I am the resurrection - The Stone Roses

Pacific State (808 State)

Guitar man - Elvis Presley

Gary Gilmore's Eyes (The Adverts)

But do you like the Gretsch? 😉

Thanks 🙂. It popped up on Facebook only five minutes away for £69. I haven't played guitar for years but I just liked the look of it so grabbed it. It's nice and compact and plays far better than you'd expect, so much so I keep just picking it up and having a strum. The bowl back is very square like a traditional acoustic so it doesn't slip out of your lap like the rounded ones. It's not massively loud but I actually prefer that as I'll upset less people.
