Decided that last year I got too into the chilled stuff. Going to mix it up more and stop being an old ****.
I've still got to give them a serious listen. Frank Turner again tomorrow night. Lottery Winners in support, not the greatest songs but a superb warm up band, seen them support Shed Seven, great entertainment
One of the best live bands I've ever seen. So much to listen to though hard to get into. Search luvgonzo in Spotify and follow me, I've got a John Dwyer playlist which is pretty much all his best stuff.
I have always though ti should buy a semi acoustic even if I never learn to play it properly When I was 15 I made a replica fender Stratocaster but it was not strong enough and kept going out of tune because it began bow slightly I kept the elecrtric pickup etc for years thinking was always going to have another go but never happened, life got in the way
Depends on how well you can play mate, personally I wouldn't buy a semi acoustic as a first guitar. The body is different and I find them more cumbersome. Also the price difference (more expensive) but that's just me, if that's what you are use to, go for it. One thing that got me back into it was telling myself to stop making excuses.
A mate of mine has a semi acoustic and you can play it without it being plugged in whereas a solid electric sounds tinny without it being plugged in A guy I worked with was in a band and he said that most of the bands in the seventies and a few in the eighties actually relied on feedback to produce their sound (he did anyway) but in the sixties they tried to avoid feedback I was at a Who concert where the feedback was killing their session and they smashed up their equipment, after that it almost became their trademark
I don't know if you've seen me say on here before, you can get a device now (micro amp) that plugs straight into the guitar and mutes the sound (apart from the tinny sound) and you can connecct headphones to it.
