Making and playing music

[smiles4u]

My mum kind of force me to play the guitar in grade 5 ... yep, it was in 1976 ... i remember it well as along the way i worked it out my Mum had a massive crush on my music teacher who happen to look like the Solo man from the Solo soft drink tv ads ... My Mum would behave so silly around him and OMG was i one embarrassed 11year old kid ... Anyway, i wasn't a great player but i discovered Suzi Quatro that year & have been a huge fan of hers since

(Me turning ' 43 ' in 15days ... hey, but who's counting ... Me too trying for a miracle Bubba )

in the study atm is

Roland V-Drum electric drumkit
Bass guitar
Laney aclass valve amp
2 steel string acoustic guitars
2 ibanez electric guitars (one mine on his - he steals mine though but its soooo heavy)
1 gretsch guitar

I'm so jealous! I saw a huge (didn't see the brand-name) electric drum kit when buying my bass case which was only $7999 .. MrsP wasn't keen on the purchase (the kit was that much: the case now holds my Fender pBass). I'd love an electric kit - I have played a few times and was OK but would like to be more proficient

Me turning ' 43 ' in 15days ... hey, but who's counting ...

43 isn't that bad s4u ... I remember piano lessons (I think I wrote somewhere when and why) which I kept up until high school. They were 7am Tuesdays and I had to give up because the bus for HS came at 8. Anyhoo they were painful, which I regret not knowing what I know now - I still look at piano players and wonder what-if ...

Monty, the 4 clefs are Bass, Tenor, Alto, and Treble. Tenor and Alto have very similar symbols but one is higher than the other. The space in the clef sign is where middle C is. I am trying to find a link to show you now

ETA: Scrol down a bit and it shows the contemprary clefs Here

All makes perfect sense now!

Never saw a C-clef before -- probably because I was only learning piano which, at the level at which I was playing, only used two.

So there you go! Thanks for this, ali - I am more musically enlightened, now (don't know if I could read anything in the other two clefs but at least I know what they are, now!)

And for Thursday, s4u!! I've been 43 for almost 6mo - it's no biggie!

No probs Monty

Happy birthday Smiles!!!
