Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Back in the UK after 13 years in the middle east.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To practice more, to gig more, to jam more, to write "the album".
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I love gear but I'm a reverse snob and there's nothing I couldn't live without. I do love my Mesa Boogie Mark V, it's just too loud for real life.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Well, it's a bit impossible. Um, maybe the first song I remember hearing as a tot, Your Song by Elton John?

Hello! Coming back to playing after a good 10/15 year absence. I've been struggling mentally a lot recently and I wanted to do something to take me out of that for a while and to focus on so.....guitar!
Q1: Where did you username come from? Ready player one and some random numbers
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? soon to be in the North east - Teeside area
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To be confident and comfortable enough to play in a group
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Taylor 114 acoustic
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? so many but Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley version) is one that always hits right
Hope you stick around and join in.
I'll give you a wis to start you off. You'll see it as Anorak109 followed by "Frets 1"
2. Dorset, UK
3. No real ambition - just love to play
4. Best bit of gear - my 1978 Yamaha SF1000 but the gear room is full now (maybe just one more guitar?)
5. Best Track - impossible to choose, but maybe "Solid Air" by John Martin or "Throw Down the Sword" from Wishbone Ash (the Live Dates recording)
Q1: Well most obvious usernames are taken so I was eating some tasty honey-infused waffles as my weekly dessert treat whilst watching the Sopranos episode featuring the horse (Pie-O-My) so it inspired my random username. Come to think of it Pie-O-My would have been much better. Duuuh.
Q2: The jolly old Midlands.
Q3: To keep making music until they cart me off.
Q4: Several years ago I had a dobro made for me by the very talented Colin Keefe. Looks/sounds great - and has a snakewood fingerboard!
Q5: Barry Gray: Theme tune to UFO
Q1: Where did you username come from? My name's Den and although I'm also a fender fan, my fav guitars are Gibsons (Les Pauls)
Q2: Where in the world/country are you? London (east)
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
After playing in "original bands" for most of my life and being out of it post pandemic, I'd like to record and release the latst batch of tunes I've been working on and get a new band together to gig/work on more stuff.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
1997 Les Paul standard (Honeyburst) - owned from new (worked 7 days a week when I was at college to pay for it!...)
Q5: Your #1 ever track -
Difficult question.. maybe Fell on black days by Soundgarden...
Q1 Username elsewhere is Jolly Rog, but that seems to have been taken so I was surprised to see that Rog was still available. Where have all the other Rogers gone?
Q2 Originally from South Essex, now in North Suffolk...roughly nowhere central.
Q3 Gave up the day job in the late seventies to form a prog rock band. Due to bad timing and lack of talent, achieved my lowest adult weight. Decided to grow up and failed at that too. Music still on my mind most of the time. Ambition to keep playing and learning as long as I can and maybe put some up to date stuff on You Tube to show that the intervening years were not completely wasted.
Q4 Currently a Furch Rainbow, which was custom made with a narrow neck for my small increasing arthritic hands.
Q5 I don't think I would be allowed to get away with all of Supper's Ready by Genesis, so I will go for Montana by Frank Zappa.
Q4. My '03 '61 Reissue SG with BKP Mississippi Queens, wired for master volume only. Played it so much I've more or less merged with it.
I’m Lyl Loup. I’m 13 years old. I’m from France. I play acoustic guitar, electric guitar and piano. My first original song I wrote and produced myself is Symphony of Life.

It's my name (or the shortened version of it) IRL
East London
After 50 years (!) to take the opportunity of retiring to learn to play properly
My Eko, been with me all this time
Q1: It's based on an old computer game character where the class and race combination was sort of Esoteric, but that name was already taken... used it ever since as it tends to be available due to the weird spelling.
Q2: Gosport, Hampshire
Q3: To be able to play a few of my favourite songs and not just the easy scaled down versions!
Q4: Gibson Les Paul Tribute
Q5: Too many to choose from, but one of them is "Queen of all time(red giant)" by Egypt.
