Check this out.... An ASH guitar


Some guy that I vaguely recognize playing a rendition of James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James".  Get ready Hesh, I feel a contest of who can play the best rendition of "Smoke On Water" coming right up.


I'm so dang jealous of you guys who can really play a guitar...

Sounds good, Ken. Sounds better than me...

That's the kind of tune you can play when you're in a group, and most everyone can relate. I'm going to make myself learn some tunes like that.

Good job, Ken!

Ken,

Pretty good buddy!

I like the sound, and would really like to see a close up of that guitar!

Hey! Here’s an idea! Well, maybe.

What if a few of us fellow OLFer’s that build and play, get together with the guitars we built, and
do a group thing!

Seriously!!! it could be a lot of fun!

We could call ourselves, “The OLF Quartet” of course, I’m sure someone else could come up
with a better name than that!

Anyone game?

Who was that Masked Man?  He can sure whale away on a guitar and wail out the lyrics.  Great job Ken.  Nice guitar too.

Ken,

For some reason that link doesn't work for me - I keep getting gateway timeouts.

[QUOTE=Dave White]Ken,

Dave, I did too, the all of a sudden it worked this morning.  Go figure.  Probably a busy site, or low on bandwidth for the medium.

That site is hosted in Canada.... somebody might have forgot to throw an extra log on the fire to keep things all warmed up


 


Thanks everybody I know I cant play worth a hoot, but somehow I keep myself amused at the noise I can make. ALso, I'm up for a picking and grinning session most anytime.

5 man Trio LOL
That reminds me of a group I know up here in BC they are called "the Four Twenty Five" - they are a quintet of course - some of you may get that...
Cheers
