Re: The Joys of playing easy pieces (for those aging fingers and wrists...)

Re: Embarrassing Moments.

Re: Embarrassing Moments.

Re: What Guitar do you play?

Re: What Guitar do you play?
@Joris Van Daele Interesting, as I'm in a similar position. I play a Martin 00-16C from 1964. It's a bit more beaten-up than your older guitar. Bought it 20 or 25 years ago from the late lamented…
