    "Ghost Riders in the Sky"

    Not sure what you mean there, but old guy that I am, I can’t help but associate "Ghost Riders” with she sound of Duayne Eddy’s DE 400 Guild. Ha Ha! Actually, yeah, I yoosta play it a lot as a teen ager.

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    My son was playing it on Mother's Day and he thinks it's the best of the bunch too. One of the cool things about it is that it’s “semi-acoustic, ” IOW, it doesn’t sound like I’m playing a brick, when I don’t have it plugged in. After my son plugged it in and even added a little “crunch,"...

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    Yeah I plan to keep playing as long as “Uncle Arthur” (Arthur Itis) lets me.😎 He’s prolly the main reason I switched to “9 x 42’s” on everything except that bass. (and even those are light gauge flat-wounds) Hey, when I can’t do this anymore, I still have the Chromatic harmonica, which has...

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    Strangely, I’ve been playing that old Madeira more than anything else lately. The old girl got (visibly) toasted in a house fire back in 89, and insteadda suddenly coming apart like everyone sed it would, it just started sounding sweeter, and still going. I got a kit for it and the old girl...

    My Guitar Herd

    Now that you mentioned it, there are two guit-bags (for sure) that I have no idea where the heck they are. Prolly the ones I hid that 500 grand in. (yeah right)🙄

    My Guitar Herd

    I never play out anymore, so my straps are about as useful as screen door onna submarine. Kinda like my guitar cases and guit-bags that are re all under beds and stuff. Heck I have straps and getbags around here that I haven’t see for years🤔

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    Yeah, Rob, it’s kinda weird. With my ADHD, I’ll never play like I’d like to (Chet Atkins finger style😢) or even sing and play using anything more than simple chords. Even piano, other than one finger stuff is outta the question, but the guitar is startin’ to click for me in its’ own strange way...

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    Yeah, the Hohner EBAE and the 55 year old Guild Madeira are “real,” but the rest are all cheap knockoffs. Fantastic knockoffs BTW.😎 I can’t say enough about well they all play. They think they’re the real thing. Shhhhhh! Don’t tell’em.😉

    Hi! Howyadoin'?

    A.J.Fedor here. 81 years old. (‘bout 26 between my ears) Chromatic player since 1955 and guitar since 1961. Pretty good on harmonica and just lately started taking off on guitar. I probably suck compared to most of you guys, but I’m having a lotta fun. Guitars include Hohner EBAE, 1972 Guild...
