Biggest lie ever.
When I pick it up it just sounds like I'm chucking it down the stairs.
Nifty on a gob iron though.
I think everyone has an instrument within.
I've bought a bass I think I'll stand a better chance.

Spindly twiglet fingers for a guitar, tree trunk fingers for a bass.

I've just bought myself a telecaster starter pack. Can't play a note and a rare bit of indulgence for me. If I can play 'Cheggars Plays Pop' it'll have been worth it 😀😀

CHELL High School vs some school from Lancashire. The only ever Cheggars draw. Pretty sure the featured band was Flintlock or someone equally underwhelming and it should have been the T. Rex. |

My old school Clayton High was on twice, possibly Clayton High's greatest moment. I'm remember a few people with Cheggars torches and plastic bags - I'd kill for low culture memorabilia like that |

Given 10 minutes to suss it out my father could play any instrument put in front of him. He once astounded us by playing green green grass of home on a set of bag pipes. His uncle also had the same gift. His brother was a good keyboard player. My son takes after my father and can play loads of instruments. Unfortunately the gift skipped a generation. I am useless. Every music teacher I have ever had as given up on me  |

Every music teacher I have ever had as given up on me I know that pain, Having been sent home with a violin at the tender age of 10 only to have my dad take it from me and play Flight of the bumble bee and find he had been lead violin with an orchestra conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent. Left me scared for life all I managed was Blue Spanish Eyes on the family piano accompanied by my brother on his clarinet. Needless to say we were not even worthy of X Factor.
I was quite good on a comb with some Izal toilet paper though^

My trouble is when I was at school my favorite musical instrument was The Dinner Bell, which explains why I am a bit of a fat fucker as well...

My youngest taught himself acoustic and bass guitar, I've had a couple of half-hearted attempts over the years but never really got anywhere, used to play the French Horn at school but I wouldn't have much idea with one nowadays.

Have played since I was about 10 and have been in a few bands over the years, playing both guitar and bass. Can also get a tune or two from the piano and violin too.

I'm self taught with about 14 years experience now. Just start off slow, learn power chords (technical term 5ths), and learn smells like teen spirits (everyone's first song). Learn how to manoeuvre your left hand into different chord progressions.
When learning lead, you really want to learn how to alternate pick first and also teach yourself to use your left pinky properly. Too often I see half decent players in guitar shops who will actively avoid using their pinky. It's bad practice and will stop you reaching anywhere near the standard you would like to be. Learning alternate picking at the start will help you in the future.
By the time you're at this level, you'll have probably done enough googling to know what things you want to learn. Good vibrato is awesome. Bending. Tapping (Eddie).
Of course if you just want to pull, learn Wonderwall by Oasis.

I kid you not, 19 year old lads would line up with cheap Tanglewood acoustic guitars, one after another, and strum Wonderwall. You'd hear it 7 or 8 times in the same night. You might get the odd one who, through sheer embarrassment, would have a crack at something else. Fair do I suppose. Whatever floats your boat. |
