Hi Hugh. Guitars are pretty simple, once set up. Just plug in and play (if electric).

Smaller guitar shops that you would recommend!

I'll add my local shop, Matchetts in Belfast. They have a website with online ordering. The staff are friendly and helpful when in-store. -
Sounds really good. Well done.

I had a look on Gear 4 Music and they have a JS11 Dinky that looks similar to the one you posted - dot inlays, headstock...

If you want a campfire-style guitar (you know the sort of thing, some good looking guy with long, wavy hair produces one at a party and all the girls start ignoring you), it's hard to go wrong with a Yamaha F-310

Thanks. Those will come in useful. I've subscribed.

What would you most like help with as a guitar player?
Crusoe replied to The Guitar Zone's topic in General Discussion
Blimey, where do I start? Moving my fretting fingers fast enough, clean picking. -
Welcome! What sort of budget do you have in mind?

Bienvenue!

I have seen that logo before, but, for the life of me, can't remember where.

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about curling your thumb over the top of the neck to fret the thick E string? You say you can't hit the first string with your thumb, but that would be the thinnest string, so I'm not sure why you'd be using your thumb on it. I'm sure you know about Tony Iommi, of Black Sabbath and how he lost the tips of his fingers on his fretting hand. He made prosthetic tips and changed the way he played to accommodate it. Also, Django Reinhardt lost the use of his ring and index fingers so modified the way he played.

That looks great

I'm glad you asked.

PGM30 with an RG neck?
-
We're not disappointed, just angry.

I've been working on Sex on Fire, Hey Joe and Paranoid as I'm hoping to do the Rockschool grades sometime soon. I've also been having a go at Cigarettes & Alcohol and last week started on She Sells Sanctuary

Have you looked JustinGuitar on YouTube? He also has a website and does a full course of guitar tuition free. He does have a paid for app and seems books, but the free stuff will be more than enough to get you going. It m8ght even get your son interested again too.

There have been quite a few songs I've heard on the radio, in recent years and I've thought "that sounds like Nile Rodgers" and been right.
