Very nice Ron, can you play it?

My new toy:-



Maybe we could do a duet?

 

[ronk]

I’m an absolute beginner- I have been advised to leave it on the stand so it’s ready for a practice at any time!

Love it.

Here is my new, old toy. Built the same week I was born.

Good advice Ron, you never know when you are going to feel the need for a quick burst on yer banjo.

Nick - lovely bass, I have always admired those Ricky basses. I'm basically a Fender man, my Ricky 620 was bought last week on a sudden impulse, it plays and sounds great.

Great admiration for you fellas that play any instrument!

Im still bashing on with my beginners exercises and sore finger ends and fingers that aren’t as flexible as they used to be!

I hope you get to the standard you want - I love music, but could never actually make any.

I know how you feel - I think even the experts struggle for that extra bit more. I don’t think anybody ever gets to be 100% - Starting to learn at this stage of my life has to be a limiting factor I fear.
Never mind it keeps the brain cell alive I hope!

Very nice indeed, what a great present,, yes superb advice, then it will look at you saying "pick me up", you are never to old to learn an instrument, trust me, I used to teach guitar and had many 70+ learning to play,

Love your pics of guitars, I am a real guitar junkie and at the moment have 22 :roll: and at 57 still playing the bars and clubs
