I wonder if he gives private lessons.   

It will get here on Wednesday, Kev.  I'm looking forward to its arrival!

This song sounds familiar.

Hofner 500/1 Vintage '62

[Hello Goodbye]

It's a wonderful guitar, Kev!

[nimrod]

It's a wonderful guitar, Kev!

Looks lovely mate, good on you for a great choice 

It has the zero fret I see

is it fitted with wirewound strings or flats ?

Paul always used flats, if you have flats they never need changing

[Hello Goodbye]

Thanks, Kev.  It's got flats.  I'm waiting on the amp.

Meanwhile, I'm learning this...


Got To Get You Into My Life -The Beatles (Bass Cover)

[Hello Goodbye]

The flash made my guitar look kind of red sunburst.  It's really antique brown sunburst like the Hofner in these videos (and yours).

[nimrod]

dont forget Barry that you can use the mogg files, just remove Pauls bass and do your own 

[Hello Goodbye]

I don't think the world is ready for me yet, Kev.      

[nimrod]

Come Together is a good one to learn Baz

Right, Kelley.  I love this guitar!

[Hello Goodbye]

Kev, it looks like I'm gonna have to go chronologically with Beatles songs.  In a way a lot like Paul did as he transitioned from 6-string guitar to bass.

I've been working on this...


Love Me Do - The Beatles - Bass Cover


I already knew some of the bass string arpeggios for this song which I added playing my Country Gent.  The spacing of the strings, their action, and fretting are so comfortable on the Hofner.  I should have done this years ago!
