Combination of drums and percussion. Just got off the kit actually, learning Jesus of Surburbia and Master of Puppets. Little bro plays guitar and we both have a go at singing so can put down quite a few songs!!! Good fun

Hey Casey , When I bought my Gibson LP in 1975 it was $ 569.00 (lots of $$$ back then ) Mum thought I had "rocks in my head" , but I've always looked after it and it plays just as good today as the day I got it (31 yrs hard work). I don't think they're still available , but my "Profile LP" is 99% as good , $ 1095.00 in 1989 . Copies these days are VERY good.

Plug in the head phones, turn on some music and plug it into the back and voila - I'm playing in the band

Also got a bass but ehhhh haven't picked it up for some time.

I've put my pic's in "Show & Shine"

Lissa , I play guitar quicker by ear than reading sheet music , nothing wrong with that , and I taught guitar "reading music & theory" for 8 yrs (also lots of pro's can't read music)

What about the fantastic Flute solo in "Downunder" Men at Work :dj:
