After having a very drunken crack at playing the guitar after 4 months at DK's party, I decided I had better buy one and get those callous back.

Anyone interested in catching up and having a jam let me know. I'm a little rusty but it's coming back.

Nice one. Accoustic or electric?

Thats one instrument I have always wanted to play. Never had the opportunity, but I do play a mean "air-guitar" to Angus Young!

Accoustic, don't want to disturb the neighbours. Plus accoustics are more fun, and ultimately very portable.

Perhaps I should have started a - What are your favourite songs to play? thread.

My fingers hurt like hell this morning too.

woah, which one, gibson? Yamaha? acoustic? electric?with pickup?with amplis? whens the jam session?

Ok, understand.

Anything with heavy guitar in it. Rock songs obviously.

I hope from playing the guitar?

Nice steel string Yamaha electro-accoustic with a single cutaway.

Need to play it in, the strings are still a bit warbly.

I will drag my husby to play base guitar for you if you'd like or the piano perhaps. And then I will volunteer to be the singer. Haha

Then we will ask Hyatt for a gig just wishful thinking....

I never learned to play any musical instrument, I would really love to. The thing is, am I to old??

ok for the songs

Ian, guess you found the answer to your "hobby" thread!

Now we could have a DFM Band! With a contest (from Kareoke) for lead singer (no, not the metal) (and no, not that type of music)

On behalf of HP, I request for

I want to S.ex you up !

Er Ian mate...I heard you at karaoke!

Can I suggest the following:

Silence is Golden - The Hollies
The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
Feel the Silence - The Goo Goo Dolls
Listen to the Silence - Bruce Hornsby and the Range
The whispering part of Careless Whisper - George Michael
The complete unfinished bit of the Unfinished Symphony

320 bars Silence by Stockhausen...a piece where the performer sits at a grand piano for 32 minutes and plays not one note!

Fingers are sore! We have sacked 2 vocalists so far and my poor guitar went 'twang' like Duane Eddy whilst in the middle of a thrash session! The tremolo popped off the body and its now in the shop being fixed. Luckily I have now been lent a brand spanking new Fender Strat and rehearsals are progressing!

We have our private gig on the 21st September, but after that I am up for a DF band. Anyone out there bang the skins?

Hotel California and I will volunteer to be the beast!

No wonder the tremelo fell of your guitar and it is in the shop, you thought it was a microphone.

And you told us it was because you were going nuts on a high E and it just came loose. In reality, it was a casuality of your attempt to get to sleep

I can play quite a few songs, although I'm pretty rust as I haven't played in nearly 4 months and have lots my callouses.

I know mostly Australian material, but I will learn some 'global' songs for the crowd.

I can play Hotel California.
