Rhumba, I love your playing. Your fluid, melodious style is exceptional at any age. I'm only 64 and am just now starting to learn "real" guitar after 45 years of acoustic 12 string blandness. You encourage me to stick with it and maybe by 65 I can only hope to create some similar sounds as I heard today on your video.

The avatar is me at 15 (1967), playing with my band.:oops:


Thanks LawFlow for your kind comments, I'm glad to be of some use, keep at it and you'll get to where you want to be.
Funny thing is I've just started playing an acoustic, ha. Maybe you could show me some things on a video.
Cheers man and all the best. 8)

Good pic of your band by the way, the sixties were a good time. I started in 1963 when I was 13. Seems a long time ago now. :D
Yes, I started at 13 as well. Peter, Paul and Mary and the folk scene were big then. I was living in New Orleans at the time and things were a little more musical there to say the least. I had tickets to the Beatles in 1964, but parents said no. I respected that. The bad part about trying to play then was that there was nothing but junk instruments. I didn't give it any hope until I played a Fender Stratocaster in 1966. I was able to get hold of one when I was 14 and that's the one in the picture. It's encouraging to see folks my age like you playing and making good music. Take care and we're never too old.
