What sort of guitar?

Bloody hard, prepare for bleeding fingers if my experience over the last 5 years is anything to go by.

I keep going back to mine but I get no better at it  surrender:

As a teen/early twenties my instrument was:


However not the sort of thing one plays alone so I decided a few years back to try the guitar again ..... not a good move really.

Doubt if I have the energy or ability for Drums any more either.

I can still manage one of these:

 lol:

When I was learning the classical guitar as a teenager there was a lad a few houses down the road who was practising the drums...

Seared into my memory is the drum solo from "Wipeout" .... I'll have to find a link  8)

Got it....

This was one we used to play .... one of the few that they let me sing. I used to get the really hard on the throat ones whilst the regular vocalist took all the smoochy stuff. Shared drumming duties too .... served drinks when not on stage.

Saturday nights at the Camp (RAF) Dance .......... Most excellent bird puller being one of the band eyes:

My guitar (except mine is left-handed, like)





Bought as I always wanted one and it's a bit of an investment (it's doubled in value after 8 years) - still can't play it very well though.
