i was thinking of making a guitar out of an old ford XD falcon door or just the quarter pannel ifvthat was to heavy . . so like when you play looks like your hanging out of a car window.

What's the tuning on the 3-string shovel??
Open G tuning- GDG
Just got my new Fender Mustang GT Amp !
I know, not for the valve amp purists but for the rest of us, what an awesome little machine, grouse way to learn, gotta love your sound right.
It has preset amp sounds from a myriad of classic amps, you can tamper with any of these presets, there are users throughout the world that set them up and you can just download anything, Tom Petty, Kiss, Credence, Blues, Heavy Metal.....on it goes.
Bluetooth songs you're learning and play along, headphones if you want so you don't piss off the whole house.
Now is a serious;y good time to learn to play !
As well as finding a good teacher, there are some really good lessons on You Tube.
My best is JJ, formerly Privatetricker, what a guy, good songs and great explanations.
Have you guys/gals found any real good stuff ?
BTW, love the shovel/cigar box stuff, not there yet but geez, hope that guy with the long hair leaves a few ! Good on him.

Well about 6 years ago I set myself a goal to be able to play by the time I'm 50.
It's interesting, I didn't even really know what that meant, still don't, but it's a hell of a lotta fun trying.
Tomorrows the day, and after weekly lessons, finding a great teacher, getting a good Telecaster and many, many hours of noodling away, I'm kinda satisfied with where I'm at !
The "journey" continues, I'm well along the way, but like all things, there's never an end destination, just keep going and learning.
Surely glad I started though, it's never too late to get going with something you've always wanted to do, just gotta have a crack !
Congratulations. I've made my career out of playing, composing and teaching music, it's no small feat. You need to be obsessed, and when you're obsessed you need to practice like someone who is! Excellent work, again congratulations.
I like this dude reminds me of running a muck as a teenager. 4;15 Domination solo is a pinkie breaker

Cheers Larry !
I'm pretty obsessed, get an hour in nearly every day, more on the weekends !
Should be okay by the time I'm 60 
Didn't make it by 30,40,50 or 60. Doubt if I'll be there at 70. Not enough practice or natural ability. I'll just keep on noodling.
But one helpful hint? It's 95% the player and 5 % the quality of the guitar. So flood the house with cheap guitars. The effort of getting a prized 3kg possession out of its hermetically sealed case discourages grabbing 5 minutes of valuable practice. You don't have to worry if they get blasted by the sun, cop a little rain or get chewed by the dog.https://www.ebay.com.au/p/Valencia-VC203H-3-4-Size-Hybrid-Slim-Neck-Classical-Nylon-String-Guitar/13003591925?iid=253931481614&chn=ps
Light weight , compact, easy to pick up, same neck width as a stratocaster, get some higher quality strings, tweak the action, it'll sound OK. Indestructible.
I play a bit. 
Bunch of instrumental originals at monkeysinmachines.com
(Looking for a bass player for a live band, if anybody is/knows one)
Own aussie Dude covers most guitar solos even stevie ray follow him Tabs are teaching are accurate Hard to find.

Buster's video link. Hard to pick at that speed but I thought I heard a triplet or two. And then the Dude said "Pineapple". Easier than one,two three.
Pretty technical video Ian sound awesome. bit beyond me Guitar like Stevie ray other artists playing His though process and unnatrural uncordination leave people baffled What makes them legends! . Mabe its a gift. Difficult but healthy to keep the brain co-ordinated Brain can tell the body to a lot but have to teach it! Explain this oldschool vid of dude with disability! . Key is with music impress yourself not anyone else. Just enjoy the advantages of picking up an instrument what ever that mabe at what ever level and enjoy it. The internet is now a world of free tuition There has never been a better time to learn Get into it. Anyways got to go while writing this kids have pushed in my expencive surround sound speaker domes in swung of the usb ports on the pc and opened the cd drive 19 times before pushing it into the hard drive compartment.
not putting that dude down but why do so many guitar artists look like a chook laying a hard boiled egg, or a tortoise thats just crapped in its shell, the ay their heads move ...man thats an exercise in itself.
Well if you haven't got a mike to steady your head you'll look a bit stupid no matter what you do with it? Here you go Tonz.
(So much good stuff on youtube()
Been trying for a few months to learn guitar by the time I'm 60, left ring finger wrecked kiting, might change to banjo.
