Music


Music is one of my other great hobbies. I have a very varied and eclectic taste in music although my favourite band of all time must be Pink Floyd. I guess if I have to choose (and why should I?) I prefer Gilmour to Waters but I guess that is because I am a guitarist. My guitar is pictured here. I play through my computer via an interface by Line6 called GuitarPort. It really is a superb piece of kit and enables me to sound like anyone I choose, even if I cannot play like them :-)
I have played guitar for about 34 years but I had a long period (about 10 years) where I didn't play. I have always played acoustic folk until I got the Ibanez but I am now trying to learn to solo.

I have just looked at your blog because I went through the Morecambe link. I read the blog about your guitar playing and wondered if you know about the guitar group at More Music in Morecambe. I play classical and folk and I went for the first time last week. I was made to feel very welcome even though mine is the only classical guitar there. It sounds like you have a good set up with your computer but I don't think that you can beat playing with others.

Best wishes,

Michael
