I'm considering starting a 1 man covers band. It'll be myself on guitar, a drum machine and a mic for any audience members who want to sing.
I will play Wagon Wheel, Brown Eyed Girl and Blister In The Sun on repeat for 3 hours.
I firmly believe people won't be able to force dirty cash into my hand fast enough as I rocket to the top of the NZ pub scene.
1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
1958 Fender twin, 1965 Vox AC30, 1966 Marshall JTM 45, 1977 Dumble OD Special.
Big black garbage bag full of original Klon Centaurs and TS808s.

I have a friend who plays for a well known Christchurch folk band. He'll play any song you want for 20 bucks, or 50 if it's wagon wheel....
All the gear... absolutely no idea...

Interesting. I saw this, or an edit of it, a while back and it kind of made sense but it started to feel like it was one of those "miracle cure" scams and I forgot to check out on here if people thought it made sense.
I just posted a big reply, but it's gone for some reason.

Anyway, there's no scam here. He's just asking you to focus a little more on your right hand picking. I spent a lot of time on this when learning finger picking acoustic and it definitely helps.
I found it incredibly useful, I've worked through what he's saying and it has tidied up my picking significantly.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Don't forget "why does love do this to me" and you're onto a winner
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

None really. I just like guitar and occasionally do it.
