I've decided to recommence learning the Guitar that's stood in my corner ever since I snapped a string.

And a new set of strings.

 

I'm back on the path to becoming the new Dave Gilmour

 

I'm sure Jimi 'T-Keith' Hendrix will be able to tell me whether i've bought a shite tuner. It was only £11, like :D

 

Probably the only famous person with the same surname as me.

Wasn't that 'Gilmore' though but?

 

I don't know tbh, I wouldn't be seen dead watching an Adam Sandler film (unless of course, he was in the safe hands of a director of PT Andersons calibre).

Oh I dunno. Generally his stuff makes me chuckle mindlessly. The Waterboy makes me laugh every time I watch it and I'm not sure why.

Radgi's been on the booze again and isn't confident of typing much without looking like she's using a leg of lamb to tap at the keys

It'l do the job man!

 

Careful fitting the strings too.

 

If they aren't fit properly it can cause tuning problems that the beginner guitar player wouldn't spot.

 

Eg. you could be doing everything right but it would sound wrong and you wouldn't know why and you'd pobs give up again! :icon_lol:

Haven't got a clue who any of them are, there was some Australian cricketer, who shares my exact name, Gary Gilmour, hadn't heard of him previously either.

Good job I got a few packs of strings because the first one I tried to fit snapped (after I kept faffing about because it sounded wrong, just like you said) and has left a nasty gash in the top of my hand. Result.

That record shop next to Sgt Peppers is having a sale this weekend.

 

All you can carry for a tenner in one section. Up to 20% off all sections. Loads of CD's £3.99

 

I was expecting to have loads to put in this thread, but I left with nowt.

 

Very poor 80's vinyl in abundance with manky students sat on the floor flicking through every one of them.

Just a Fender Squier until I feel like i'm good enough to spend money on something better.

Yeah, it's a Strat.

 

I was coming along quite well until I snapped the string the first time round, it's just sat in the corner for the best part of a year gathering dust. Annoying now to think that if i'd pulled my finger out and sorted it when it first happened I could actually be in some way competent :headphonedance:

 

Ho hum.
