Also, a task for everyone who reads this: Tell me an album that you consider one of your top ten favs of all time, and I will put it on my list of things to listen to. When I get around to listening to it I'll tell you my thoughts. And I'll try to be kinder than I am in FE Playlist.

Glad to hear someone else embraced the idea of growing it instead of shaving it all off!

Thank you Christian!

Wanna give me an album to add to my list? Which one do you consider to be Hawksley's finest?

That is freaking amazing.

Thanks Gmaj!

You play too if I recall correctly? I don't know if I ever asked you but what instrument? We only really talked about it when we were making up that chord progression in mafia.

I play the guitar as well, but I play chords and rhythm. I'm sad to say I barely know the pentatonic scales.
I have 2 acoustics. A black Taylor jumbo and a Martin D-28. I try to play them once a week or so, but it doesn't always happen.
I also have a Gibson Melody Maker that I hardly ever play.

A Taylor and a Martin? I'm jealous! The only time I've played them is at guitar stores. I was just looking at the D-28, it sounds great. I can't say I'm a fan of Gibson guitars though. Every Gibson I've played has never felt right. The necks always feel too narrow. Granted, they sound great and can produce some sounds you simply can't get on a Strat.

What kind of music do you play? I've always imagined you play jazz given your username.

The pentatonic scale is the only one I really know completely, but I am familiar with other scales and modes. I prefer to learn intuitively, as I find it gets boring memorising scales and stuff.

Equipment wise, my main guitar is an American Strat, as seen in the video, but I also have a Mexican Strat, an Epiphone Acoustic, a 12 String Guitar, a Classical Guitar, a Mandolin, a Ukulele, a Banjo which I barely play, a bunch of harmonicas, and a Balalaika. I have a bass guitar too, which can be fun to play now and again.

I run my electric through an AC30, though I would really like to get a Marshall when I can afford it, as I love the sound.

Very cool Gmaj. I'm guessing that would make the Gibson one of the original models if your Grandfather gave you it?

And yeah, learning to play and sing at the same time is tough! Well worth doing though.

I wish I could play a musical instrument.

It's never too late to learn Christian! I know some someone who didn't start learning guitar until they were in their 60s.

There's a ton of great resources online so you can teach yourself if you like too.

Hey guys. For those of you who like me, please click the following link:

https://smarturl.it/fbousc

It will direct you to Spotify, and you will be offered to pre-save my album ahead of its release. When it is released it will be added to your Spotify library, at which point you will be free to listen to it at your leisure, or delete it. I don't really mind either way, you'd just be doing me a favour by giving me a pre-save. Looks good for the algorithm apparently.

For those of you who hate me, there's no need to do anything!

Goodnight!

It's Remembrance Day in the UK and Veterans Day in the US. This is a song I wrote that seems appropriate for the occasion.

Thanks Lamps! Also I'm terrible at committing to listening to new music, so I still haven't started on that list of recommendations. Regardless, feel free to add suggestions. I've only listened to Aeroplane Over the Sea, so any of their other albums would be interesting!

And thanks Herm for the save. I'm pretty sure the album is coming out on December 2nd though, unless I set the wrong date lol
