Guitarists of 606

is that with or without chapped lips mate.

 

I just can’t get the hang of barre chords no matter how much I practice them. Can play quite a few basic songs with open chords but just feel not progressing at all.

 

It's all practice mate bit don't over practice say 15mims a day doing barre chords and try moving your hand/wrist position to get it to ring out. It just takes time mate and all I ever really played when i was gigging was barre chords and power chords. I'm not a lead player anyway and never will be.

 

two methods first one place the index finger covering all strings use the thumb to help with the pressure and strum making sure all strings are fully pressed, when confident add Aminor finger position to the other fingers and practice


method 2 go to a bar, go to google play, download guitar chords, bang away not forgetting the head banning movement hope this helps mate

 

Great info mate and it's definitely something that needs practice to get spot on!

 

Here are some of mine.








I'm pretty shìt mind

 

wow mate some beauty's there impressed, now all we need is a listen bet you are great,

 

If I had them guitars I would be happy to be
s hit I had a copy of the red one and I knocked it over and the head snapped completely off

 

Well you'd be disappointed
I got a bargain on some of those.
The top red acoustic/electric crafter was about £60 .
The Yamaha acoustic £70.
The banjo the mrs bought me.
The old 60's starway was a Christmas present as a kid 2nd hand.
The red Gretsch I did buy new but its not the massively expensive ones,

Funny but I only really picked a guitar up with a passion about 2 years ago and just started lessons learning to read music and finger picking then this covid shìt kicked off
All the furlough i had last year and i wasted it not practicing and no lessons.
Now being on permanent nights since last year I don't get round to it much either


Here's another bargain.
I was after a single guitar stand.
Got a stand, fender amp, tuner, strap, possibly something else and this Aria guitar for £35

The pic doesn't do it justice.

 

This is a prs style guitar I made during the first lockdown.

 

that's a brill bargain mate well done very impressed is your arse not sore after such a cracking deal, you must have the gift of the to do deals like that

 

Telecaster I made last year. I'll try and find a completed picture. Swamp ash body maple neck finished in translucent black with a tru oil finish. Seymour Duncan pickups

 

you boys have given me a semi on with those pics

 

If you don’t get it finished mate at least you can use it as a blue tit box

 

Just before the body was oiled and finished.

 

Was finished a few years ago mate and ended up selling it to a lad in Scotland. Was fantastic when it was done!

 

Very nice that and a great hobby in lock down.
Wrote my post before I read yours

 

Yeah I love it mate but don't get enough time to do it more.

 

looks like you could make a living doing that and advertise them on the internet
