New old mission.

[IainH]

Aaaaahhh!!! I lost my post. Stupid thumb! ( I'm wallerin' in the tub, sweatin out toxins) Well...here's a shorter version. I play rhythm-lead so do my fave players like Pete Townsend and the other blues rock dudes from the sixties thru to the death of Rock n Roll in late nineties. That's what I play. I gotta '13 Gibson LP Studio Deluxe in Cherry Sunburst open hb's burstbuster pro bridge and 598 neck, 60''s profile neck ( excellent playability especially for small hands or large palm and regler fingers: me). My Combo is special; a 1983 Peavey Renown 212 all American. Made in Ms Sippi. First Solid State amp, that I played that sounded like a tubey. I've had it long time. Used a Boss DS-1 back in the day, we kinda sucked at Thrash but, it was fun. I had difficulty with the solo's (no sheet music) I spent most of my time teaching my buddy the "rhythm"' parts. We did do a version of South of Heaven that was either acceptable ( if our arpeggios "clicked") or not ( a coffee can of old nails, washers, screws and junk emptied into a steel wash tub). I've got a portable digital 8 track recording rig, circa 2008. I played my geetar last night, 1st time in three months.
