My Rickenbacker

[VectraMan]

picked up my basic acoustic last week, and a book on how to get started, s can do 3/4 major coards, but I don't know if it sounds right!

Chords.

You only ever need to know one (or maybe two) and then move it up and down the neck to get all of them.

[QUOTE=Cliphead]Never mind Blaster, I learned on a piece of Chinese tulip that cut my fingers the action was so bad.

me too - egmond jumbo many, many eons ago. but i soon learned that there are those with chopped digits and those who play. mind you, i play so infrequently these days that every time i play, i get the old diced digits.

Worked for Status Quo, they've been doing that for 30 years and no-one has noticed

poor thing. so you fell for the hype of a rickenbacker [spit], not knowing that the sound you're after is really due to a compressor in the line. not to worry. there are those whose lot is forever to be the poor cousin. those of us in the gibson/fender clan know what's what...

...aha Gibson isn't = Gibson

Yes a 335 is a fantastic guitar, I 've played one, and expensive, but as for the rest, the Les-Paul is absolute rubbish. I was very disappointed. I don't know about the semi-acoustic budget versions like the 333, probably OK and I would buy one (I did offer )if it was reasonably priced, but lets face it it isn't a 335 is it.

Strats are OK, but really for Jimi-Hendrix freaks.

Oh dear ...I thought you'd pulled out, because you didn't reply. But presumably that was because it was Christmas, and I didn't trust the private sellers on E-bay and then I found out Rickenbackers which are reasonably priced were in short supply so I bought, before they sold out.



But just out of interest is there a piccy on the web of your guitar ?

[scotspine]
