Picked up my acoustic the other day after not realy playing for 10-15 years... Forgotten just aboit everything lol.

Been playing a few bits n pieces in between looking after my sore fingers... Some Eazy Nirvana/met stuff, few chords & a few scales. Had a butchers round the internet and theres a lot of guitar stuff thesedays, but wheres the best for (re)learning. Mostly rock/metal/blues but mostly basics I guess for now.

I've just got back in to keyboards after a gap of about fifteen years.

I'm about 10% as good as I was back then.




And I was distinctly average then!!

(Practice, practice, practice!)

After a very brief go at acoustic, I've just started playing the leccy geeteah having played the bass (not very well) some 15+ years ago. Luckily the little practice amp I have has some kind of effects switch to make it sound 'rock' so missed notes are kinda covered up with feedback or just 'noise' hehe
I'm (at the moment anyway) just going to enjoy making a noise on it & trying to emulate some good ol' rock chords / riffs if I can get the hang of 'em by sound alone smile
I'm dead chuffed as I worked out the opening riff on ACDC's Hells Bells yesterday biggrin

That looks good! Thanks.

A lot of technique is coming back quick, just practice to get the fingers tough & quick (and in the right place) then (re)learn all the techy stuff (chords,scales etc).
