daveinspain Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Last night I had a big dinner party at my house. A girl I knew from work came with her husband, they both sing... By the end of the night several people had gathered round the piano and were doing sing a longs. Later I took Sonia and here husband into my studio to show them a couple of my guitars. Actually they wanted to see the Robot guitar that another mutual friend had told them about. To make a long story short when I demonstrated the Robot to them they asked me if I wanted to go over to their place this coming Thursday and play with their group....?? I told them I've only been playing a couple of years and was not that good but they insisted... Sonia showed me one of the tunes they do, which was very simple, and felt confident I could easily fit in. She also told me not to worry it's just a bunch of friends that get together to jam and play a pub every now and then. I'm gonna do it! I'm still pinching myself because I never thought I'd find anyone who wanted to put up with a 50+ something year old guy who is more or less a beginner at guitar. Maybe they just liked my Robot guitar... . Anyway I'm going over to jam this Thursday night, I'll let you know if they want me to come back....

Duende Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hi Dave This is awesome news!!, it is amazing how opportunities can come up like this. I am really pleased for you[cool] The GOR as well as being a kick *** axe is a good luck talisman. By the way Dave I am going to be in Alicante in February, is that too far away? Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Matt Thanks Matt... Actually now that I think of it I know it's not the robot guitar they are interested in because they told me to come with my acoustic.... Alicante is not far from me about an hours drive... Are you doing a gig there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hi Dave It is a half business/half pleasure visit. I am playing a private recital and possibly a restaurant too. My dad is organising it. My mum and dad are there for a few months. They are there to avoid the horrid English winter! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Great news Dave. That is the most rewarding part of playing guitar IMO. It doesn't have to be great music. I would rather play 3 chord songs on an old POS with some freinds than play by myself on the best equipment. Plus, if it turns into a regular or even semi-regular thing, it gives you something to look forward to as the week goes on. Have a great time.

That's what I'm thinking, if I can actually play with other musician once a week, learning tunes and jamming it's going to help me immensely.

milod Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hey Dave... The especially good thing about pickin' with others is timing. Well - what's even better, most of the time anyway, is the the fun of pickin' and grinnin' with other folks and being part of it. But yah shouldn't make yourself sound "old." Good grief, a kid of 50-something? A mere child. <chortle> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
