Fellow accy webbers who plays a instrument for how long and in what style im guitarist 6 yrs influenced by many but nirvana inspired me to pick up guitar what about you guys??
To my etrenal shame I can play no musical instrument....even though we had a piano and a violin at home....And both of my parents could read music and play well.
If anyone asks me what I can play, I usually tell them 'I can play hell with a big stick and a basket of eggs'.



It would appear your parents were more acumplished than Paul McCarntney Margaret, he can niether read or write music, yet he's just composed an ballet which got its first airing this week, and he's made a few bob before that tooTo my etrenal shame I can play no musical instrument....even though we had a piano and a violin at home....And both of my parents could read music and play well.

Ya and don't forget your coatWhen our house was flooded back in the 50's my dad floated down the street on the settee,I accompanied him on the piano.

I have a Fender Strat, have always dabbled about, but think I was more cut out for the tambourine![]()
When I was young I loved the shadows went to see them about three times, they were renowned for using Fenders both Telly and Strats, but I was watching a program on yesterday channel think it was something like Rock the sixties, but not sure. in this the shadows played Apache, but both Hank and Bruce were playing Bradshaw guitars, I have to say I'd never heard of them before, but here's a like about themI have a strat as well, mine's relatively new but some of the old ones are worth a fortune. The thing about the strat is, the design hasn't changed a bit since they were first made in the 50's. Apart from the condition you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a 1958 strat and one that was made last week. Just goes to show they got it dead right first time.
Yeah, Hank Marvin was probably the first English "guitar hero" and was a big influence on the likes of Brian May and Mark Knopfler. He's usually known for playing a red strat but I've seen film of him playing a Burns guitar. Your link is actually for Paul Reed Smith guitars, I've had my eye on a PRS for a while but the missus says NO...unless a sell one of mine first!!When I was young I loved the shadows went to see them about three times, they were renowned for using Fenders both Telly and Strats, but I was watching a program on yesterday channel think it was something like Rock the sixties, but not sure. in this the shadows played Apache, but both Hank and Bruce were playing Bradshaw guitars, I have to say I'd never heard of them before, but here's a like about them
