upside downer Posted January 1, 2025 Posted January 1, 2025 Hello, Thought I'd finally join in on here from the other place, seeing as I play more guitar than bass these days. 'Enthusiastic power chord thrasher' probably best describes my approach, but I am trying to add a bit more finesse to my efforts. I love messing about with different tunings and have made my own 4-string cigar box guitar and a baritone guitar. Don't own anything expensive, just a couple of Westfields, a Harley Benton, unbranded Strats, that sort of thing. No band, just happy to muck about making my own songs. And, as my username indicates, I play right-handed guitars flipped over and upside down, like Eric Gales and Albert King. Keeps things interesting! Quote
Dad3353 Posted January 1, 2025 Posted January 1, 2025 Good evening, @upside downer, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. 1 Quote
upside downer Posted January 2, 2025 Author Posted January 2, 2025 (edited) Hmmm, curious. I'm trying to respond to a thread in General Discussion but there's no reply to this topic option at the foot of the page. Ok, I thought, I'll just start a new thread. Well, I can everywhere else, just not in General Discussion! Anyone know why? Or, am I just missing something and being a bit thick? My guess is the latter... Weird. I can now after posting this! Panic over, nothing to see here, sorry for bothering you all Edited January 2, 2025 by upside downer Quote

It's to avoid 'spam' posts giving full access, I think. Still, you're OK now, soooooo... 1 Quote
dewayne Posted January 5, 2025 Posted January 5, 2025 How do! I remember power chords, fabulous beasts they are. Can't really use them much anymore with open tunings, but I remember them. Learning Scorpion songs via cassette. Anyone seen Michael Scheinker? Quote
