From: Bob Donald on 25 Apr 2010 12:55 Sure, it's an added reward for working hard and saving, plus show's that Dad is gonna be there for ya and sacrifice his prized Fender <dont tell him you werent playing it!> for your happiness. I bet you get less of an argument the next time you ask him to clean the gutters :) > I was glad we could get him a decent bass yesterday, and he was totally > stoked that I kicked in an old guitar so the deal could happen.

I'll definately get some mileage out > of the deal though with chores around the house! ;) I had the same problem with my singer's fender acoustic, he knows 3 chords and didnt want to bother with chord #4 and beyond. He gave it to me to try to fix, but the best I could do was get it to where your fingers couldnt accidentally slip between the strings and the fretboard when you tried to play a barr chord. After looking around, I wasnt impressed with their lower end acoustics. My Ovation practically lives at his house now just so that he can have something to sing a melody over while writing.

I remember Ninjam when your son played the drums and you had the bass, G'Bo, is that right? Try that again with your son on bass and see who you guys attract. (I still really like that bit you recorded, with the unknown guitarist that dropped by.) -- Sue Morton "Glennbo" wrote >Phoenix wrote: >> So when do we get to hear you doods jam? > > Could be soon, he's quick to learn a part, and play it consistantly. > :) |
