New Instruments
Dec 3rd, 2008 by guitarnews
I’ve finally revisited my musical past by acquiring a mandolin and an electric guitar. Pity I’ve forgotten most of the stuff I learned over 30 years ago and didn’t pursue. But as Jethro Tull says “You’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll!” So far I’ve decided to concentrate on the guitar as my fingers were having problems coming to grips with the mandolin’s fretboard. I’ve got a few songbooks – Steve Earle, Robert Earle Keen and The Who – and some tutorial material to get me back to speed on the basic chords. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Oh! Neil Young and The Who are appearing in Brisbane next year, perhaps I could get a few tips from Neil and Pete after their shows!!!
