PL Board Mixtape

Nah man keep posting I like that I don't like your tunes because it's then more interesting when you play something I like because it's pretty nailed on I won't have heard it before.

 

I'm not a fan but wow, fair play to the guy at 75 years of age...

 

Music review of it...

 

The guitarist used to work with me. Are they still going?

 

aled is great fella really nice boy from a really nice family his dad was working for genesis for years loves a smoke and knows his tunes…..tbh I’ve not noticed them playing for a while ….life’s a busy place and some gotta take time out for family I guess I’ve not seen anything planned for future either …..hopefully they’ll continue playing they always go down well when playing aberdare venues

 

That's right Aled, I didn't work directly with him but was talking about the band with his manager and he pointed at the guy and said he's in the band.

 

the drummer is his brother….he’s a good lad and all but bit shy compared to aled but most are when confronted by the Aberdare heads off thy faces

The last I heard Alex was teaching music in some school…. He is brilliant playing delta blues he’s a big fan of Mississippi Fred mcdowell who I’m also very much into thanks to aled….I past on my Mississippi John hurt stuff for him to study…..music is a friend maker

 

Thank **** for that.

 

Young un wants to learn how to play the guitar

Where do I start with this?

Brb dabbles I think?

The late great Hiag definitely dabbled but

RIP

so....

 

I'd probably go classical guitar, gear4music will have reasonably priced guitars.

In other words something cheap for a beginner. I'd don't know how old your young one is, but I'd probably go nylon strings rather than steel so it don't hurt their little fingers to begin with.

You can also buy 1/2 and 3/4 size guitars, easier for smaller bodies.

Probably get something in a pack such as case, spare strings etc, example here of a 3/4 scale with nylon strings, but just browse the site and put in your own spec requirements...

Let them play around with it for a while, if they are still keen then look for a local tutor, and upgrade guitar as they get older - otherwise good old youtube comes in handy.

Edit: I should add, all my above assumptions are based on a right handed person. If the youngter is left handed, then the specs need to reflect that - otherwise the thin and thick strings will be the wrong way round.

 

Cheers bro

he’s 8 and he’s right handed it seems

I’ll take a look at that website and I’ll be in touch for further info no doubt
