Corona Virus

If you are going to put your head in a Lion's mouth what do you expect|?

 

They think they are invincible, hopefully other will learn that we are not...

 

Anybody seen the videos by wionews/gravitas ?

 

That is so true.....

 

WTF
That explains it

 

I am so bored, I might learn to play that electric bass I bought 15 years ago. By the time this virus thing is over with I’ll be good enough to play in a band

 

I would like to see that @BonnieCat ......

 

It’s a violin bass and quite light compared to a fender bass. I started to get sore finger tips and had to cut my nails on one hand so gave up the last time I picked it up. But I might give it another go now.

 

Go for it. It will cetainly help to pass the time away. Not sure about your neighbours though.....

 

Sod them. These are desperate times

 

Yeah they can’t come over to see you and complain they’re not allowed to

 

Yep nice guitars but they are heavy. The violin/viola bass is quite light, plus it looks nice. Like the one Paul McCartney played

 

I remember the main reason why I gave it up. I’m left handed and all the books and videos are for right handed players. It was too much for my little brain to handle

 

The bass strings are much thicker and it really hurts your finger tips. Apparently this is normal for new players you have to get through the pain barrier. Unfortunately I didn’t make it.
It’s not looking good this is it??

 

Hindsight is 2020...hindsight IN 2020.

 

Perhaps with some foresight, or perhaps just dumb luck, Mr. Sandi decided to learn to play the guitar about eight months ago. He loves it and now he has two guitars, a Paul Reed Smith electric and a Taylor acoustic. So now during the pandemic, he has a great hobby that he can do indoors for hours. My hobbies, on the other hand, all involve being outdoors, some degree of travel, and the use of two functional elbows. Guess I’ll have to take up knitting. Nah… I do like to read mystery novels so need to lay in a supply of those I guess! And thank goodness for the Triumph forum!

 

I really wished I could play something. It must be awesome. My house is filled with all sorts of guitars (electric and acoustic) but these were all my partners and sadly they are only ornaments now. Agree with you Sandi the forum does help to pass some time.

 

You just reminded me Jez about when, as an adult, I took piano lessons. I had a couple of lessons and when I tried to book some more the teacher was strangely never at home. I must’ve been so bad she emigrated.

 

Jez I wish I could give you more than 1 funny smiley. That was hilarious. Maybe we should start a band

 

What was it Eric Morecombe once said. “I’m playing the correct notes, not necessarily in the right order”
