wow, I didnt know you could get graphite powder like that. Just bought some as my strings do stick in the nut when using the trem. I'll see if there's any improvement

How can we help you?

Are you wanting to sell them or just get more information about them? Can you give us details about them and maybe post some pictures?

After starting off with a Jedson single pickup Tele shape thing,I borrowed £200 from my Dad and went into the Rhythm House in Stockport to buy a Jedson natural Les Paul copy .... and went home with a Strat !! I was told it was made in 1958 and had been completely stripped down to the bare wood.The fretboard looked like it'd been played non-stop since the day it was made and the frets were like flat needles. The bridge was terrible and looked as if the trem arm had been overly tightened,sawn off with an angle grinder and the hole rebored larger. None of this bothered me,it was a Fender and none of my mates had one. When I started buying other guitars it got retired in it's case where it stayed for 30 years. When I got the internet I found out that my '58 had a '63 neck,the body, pickguard, electrics and serial number on the neckplate were '64 and the head decal was a 1975 !!. I decided (rather reluctantly) to sell it 12 years ago and it was snapped up by a taxi driver who drove his black cab from Kent to Manchester.He was a collector and didn't play and spent as much sourcing original parts and putting it back to it's former glory as he paid for it.

He was left handed and has several custom mad guitars

Yes, very sad. A good innings though. Saw the Bluesbreakers play once in Guildford. Cracking gig.

Sadly, John Mayall has passed away at the age of 90. The roster of musicians who played with the Bluesbreakers is incredible with Eric Clapton, Peter Green and John McVie being some of the most notable names. There will be one heck of a jam going on in heaven today.

What sort of help do you need with them?

My son was Eric Lucas and was hoping someone can help me with his guitars

I have a few "likely" songs, as Fractured Mirror (Ace Frehley), but can't find who plays this. It seems a bit like Gary Moore but I am sure it's not him.

Just a guess, but that sounds like Gilmour, playing a demo version of a future Floyd song. The 'intro' lick is a rip-off of a Fairport Convention song : 'Jack of Diamonds', on their first album, but that's not Richard Thompson playing there.

I have it at the end of a homemade compilation cassette, made around 1989, and I am not able to know who plays this. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Au6Gmkhl5v4IgcAaqaPe2u7pyp0yTQ?e=xhuFrV Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Zager gang

I remember strumming to the song "In the Year 2525" back in the day. Good old memories. Got my hands on a second hand Zager a couple of months back. Love it!

I think it's the Epiphone EB-0, not sure. Not having the serial number makes me wonder if it's original. But if it plays well, nice stuff

You may well be right, of course, although a sticker with a serial number would be normal, I'd say, rather than no number at all. There are copies at all levels, too, not just high-end stuff. Genuine or fake, though, as long as it plays well...

Do the bolt on epiphone eb0s have an embossed serial number on them? I know none of the ones I have seen have, they just had a sticker. Why would you make a copy of an epiphone? These are next to nothing new, if you were going to make a copy you would make one of a gibson.

guess the song from this guitar clip: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9PgKt0y-Tw/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== hint: it was released in 2014

I had a stroke 10+ years ago and I'm relearning this, this site and your help has been really helpful. It's not all bad though, second time round and my understanding is much more thorough. Cheers

Essentially, yes.

Is the difference between G Major 1-4-5 progression and the G Blues 1-4-5 progression, the use of 7th chords and pentatonic blues notes when soloing?

Good advice. Cheers

I'm looking at it now, and I'm having trouble following along. I've been playing guitar for well over a half-century. Maybe it's not you, but the video that's not too clear..? I'd suggest looking at a few other tutors do it, and come back to this one now and again. The penny will drop, but not by crushing your head against his lack of clarity. It's Good Stuff, but not well presented, and especially not for novices.

Again, an odd question, to me. You'll be using the chords G, C and D7 quite a lot; the remark concerning the 'D7' is appropriate here, the '7th' concerned being 'C', not 'C#". Have a look at this tutorial video for some ideas, maybe..?
