In 75, I had a new Strat, it was Blonde with a White Pickguard, it had Tremolo you could adjust by using 3 or 5 balance springs, it also had an adjustable neck.

Yep ... especially with the whole school watching
It is a precision instrument and not to be scoffed at.

One needs a good sense of rhythm ....



Ding .. two .. three, ding .. two .. three, ding .. two .. three

and then changing to

One .. ding .. three, one .. ding .. three, one .. ding .. three

Can be tricky

When you think about it Jimi Hendrix was only 28 when he died. A few years of hard practice can get you to quite a high standard - just an hour a day can reap dividends.

Here's me doing some Bowie...
