Topic: Yet Another Newbie
Hello everyone,
I,m new to the forum and relatively new to JB (about 2 years) I'm an ex-guitarist for the last 20 years and started again about 18 months ago after getting into JB, not that good but getting better every week! Practice is a real bugger, especially when your fingers are nearly 50 years old and haven't been flyin around a fretboard for some time. As well as myself my 15 year old daughter is a big JB fan, interesting as her other favs are Linkin Park, Greenday, Muse, not exactly blues but goes to prove the old saying "Don't knock it till you've tried it" I'm sure that if a lot of the youger kids got a chance to listen to good blues a lot of them would get into it. We are both off to see JB at the Apollo in May.
As a result of my rekindled desire to play I have been in the studio a couple of times and done my own versions of the JB covers of One of these days and Another kind of love, i'm going back in on the 28th to try and do Django/Just got paid, it will probably sound pants but it has been such a good laugh and experience getting back in to the studio again, especially as I am doing all parts except Drums.
If anyone reads this and come from the Essex area and would like to play at some stage, just for fun, i'm up for it. I have no ego and so rythm or lead is fine, even bass if you want to, just want to enjoy and have a laugh. That's all for now, hope to chat with many of you over the coming months.
All the best to everyone, have fun and laugh like its your first time, you never know. you might like it!
