90's Squier Musicmaster with pickup changed to an EMG and gofaster stripes . ( Electrical tape stuck on as an experiment ) - a guitarist keeps hassling me to sell it . Hairband around the bridge is only there because I spotted it on the pavement and thought " I recognise that colour " Strap is a women's belt 50p from charity shop .

I use a collapsible golf trolley . Cost £3 from a charity shop . At home I found a little compartment on it for tees that had a 5p piece in , so it cost me £2.95......

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1407856751' post='2524722'] Blimey that is a massive bargain if it plays and sounds good?! [/quote] Well that was the Jersey ( no VAT ) price , and I don't feel qualified to judge how well it plays or sounds . I have never played another and standing next to it is the worst place to hear it ! The only DB players I have known (from 30 years ago when I quit the music business) are all dead now ! Hard work , but I love it . And now , back to the thread......

A good artist can produce equally stunning work with a piece of charcoal or the latest graphics software .

Two pieces of mahogany a foot square and less than an inch thick ? ....... Sounds like a recycled coffee table from a charity shop job to me .

The F7 is the dominant of the Bb . The root motion between the two chords is like a V to I , dominant to tonic . Similarly a iii - vi - ii - V - I progression is just a series of dominant root motions . HTH

Thanks .

Musings regarding Joni Mitchell .... At the beginning of this live recording she explains that after reading " Beethoven : His Spiritual Development " by J.W.N.Sullivan she was inspired to write this song from the angle of being Ludwig's personal muse and encouraging him to not give up . ( Ironically the volume fluctuates in this recording ) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDSQf-YMMw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=-JDSQf-YMMw[/url] My favourite Joni line is ; He sees the cars as sets of waves Sequences of mass and space from A Strange Boy off the Hejira album

I empathise with Bill Evans when he said : [color=#0040FF] "Perhaps it is a peculiarity of mine that despite the fact that I am a professional performer, it is true that I have always preferred playing without an audience."[/color]

I rediscovered this one last year . It popped up into my memory whilst walking in the woods . I hadn't heard it for over 30 years , when a ( late ) guitarist I worked with used to sing it . Beautiful simplicity ; verse , verse , middle that has an unusual extension , verse , rpt last phrase . That's it .

I'm not familiar with Sibelius but look for the symbol that looks like an ordinary trill but with a short vertical line through it , in the same way as the difference between an upper mordent and a lower mordent . I have always known it as an inverted trill . hth

Maggie Bell ? Elkie Brooks ?

When the professionals say its all over , it is great to make the fat lady sing again .

Try it as a bolero over the top of ( or underneath ) the theme from Lawrence Of Arabia .

If you have no room for a full ( 3/4 ) upright then maybe consider a 1/4 ( 35.5 inch scale ) , or a 1/2 size .

I get an okay sound with my NS NXT ( piezo ) through my Yamaha THR 10 if I use the setting on the amp for acoustic guitar ( ie for piezos ) with the EUB's tone control on minimum and the amp's bass on 8/10 , middle on 6/10 and treble on 3/10 .

Be careful where you sing " Happy Birthday To You " before 2016 in Europe ; [url="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jun/14/happy-birthday-lawsuit-copyright-warner"]http://www.theguardi...opyright-warner[/url]
