Belper! I'm like you - was living on a narrowboat and put in at Willington theoretically for a winter. That was fifteen years ago.

I have one that a friend is trying to sell to me. It's an R Moreno 531. It's gorgeous. It's been sat in my studio since the last time I saw him. I will end up buying it! There's lots of little builders of classical guitars.

I t can be done relatively easily with a round biscuit tin with an incandescent lightbulb in the centre. I have a friend who has made several banjo and camp uke bodies this way.

Hello Derbyshire homie!

Ireal pro is a great tool, but: 1. The chords are all user-contributed and very often not great quality. 2. The midi backing tracks are awful, and I can hear their influence on a lot of jazz I seem to be hearing these days. It is often played much too fast and square. £18 is pretty good value if you don't mind taking a tablet with you everywhere though. I prefer the New Orleans Jambook. There are chords for each song and they're better quality. If you've never seen this kind of lead sheet the chords at the top are for instruments tuned in C, and the melody is for instruments in Bb. A great starting point! A great resource and all free. https://cjam.lassecollin.se/

Hello. I'm Chris. I live in a little town on the edge of the peak district. I've been a longtime musician, mostly interested in popular music from 1920-1950ish (all learned from 78rpm recordings! ). My main instument is the ukulele but I also play a bit of lap steel and banjo. I'm in various bands and do a bit of ukulele tuition. I am looking to pick up bass to broaden my horizons a bit - I have spent many years in the same tiny little niche and much as I love it want to mix things up. I am interested in other kinds of music. Currently I'm playing a loaned Jackson bass which doesn't suit me at all, so I will end up on the marhetplace soon.
