Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms any guitar players here?

The other day I sold my guitar to a man with no arms . I said: " What are you going to do with it?" He replied : "Just gonna play it by ear".

I have an old 5-string. Home made by an old friend of the family who was quite good at making all sorts of things (even a grandfather clock...).
But, as I'm semi-tone deaf, can't play or sing (at least, not in tune - can't even claim Eric Morecombe's response to Andre Previn! )

Cherry Sunburst Les Paul and blue, I know, Fender Strat.

I had a Les Paul Custom, now have just 3, a Yamaha acoustic, a 1980 Hondo 335 with DeMarzios and a 1981 Hondo. Telecaster, really good quality from the period when the Japs were copying and being sued by Gibson and Fender. Shame is I can't play any of them beyond a few things I learnt 20 years ago. Pity as I like them. Also have a studio amp and I think some pedals somewhere... More stuff I should clear out really as I'm never going to be any good at it. Peter Green was my hero, superb melodic guitarist before he went off the rails.. Such a waste of talent.

I'm a player. 20 or so guitars inc a strat but no les paul...though I love les' playing. Mostly into gypsy jazz now so most of my guitars are acoustic/jazz.
Played in lots of rock bands over the years though almost always using strats or steinbergers.
In a rather unmorganlike way, these days my favourite two guitars are made of carbon fibre...no wood......but they are so reliable. They can be tuned at home, driven to a gig even an open air one and played without any tuning issues.Peace of mind in performance.

Ps peter green lives round my way and is playing again these days.

Have a Telecaster and an old Suzuki, Martin copy, which sounds awesome.
I wish I could play.

My sixty one year old fingers will not go where I want the to......

yes, four, two electrics and two acoustic electrics: A Fender Stratocaster and a rare and fantastic Schecter Strat made of rosewood.The acoustic electrics: a Takamine and my favourite: a Yamaha Apx-8D. I used to play very actively in the eighties and the nineties but these days only playing in the sofa to annoy the

I'd love to be able to play but I struggle. Probably too impatient for results. I've a modest 5 string acoustic, a banjo and a fiddle and like to make a noise on each of them....usually timed for when the neighbour is away!

We could start a group "musical Morganeers"
