So as technology advances we're all to sound the same? No ta. And when electrics kill off acoustic guitars, we'll all be playing MIK Strats for every sound the manufacturers allow us! This smacks of the sort of evil Sony brought to recorded music (nearly). BTW I play through a Yale SS slaved...

I gotta say, 'Happy New Guitar' Nothing quite like a LP and the 60 should be a dream to play. Jealous as hell.

Oh this is a hard one. My number one is dead easy though. The Gods, Genesis LP. So full of classic rock before we knew it was classic rock. It taught me barre chords and some great ideas on solos. Thanks Joe, if you're reading this. 2, John Mayall, Blues from Laurel Canyon. Excellent intro to...

Hi guys (and girls?) Just found you and looking to share advice and experiences along the way. I'm an ancient hippy blues/rocker with occasional wanderings into metal, folk and (shhhh country) Owned and played some nice guitars over the years. I prefer not to pigeon-hole genres or kit you can...
