Hi there !
My 16yr old son seems to have "moved in" my MM Fiddle Edge into his bedroom, sitting proudly on his guitar stand - and "his" Taylor GS-Mini (2nd hand) guitar has been "evicted" into the spare room !

Hi there !
No, definitely not. Through many years of exposing my two boys (now 16 and 13) to Soul, Motown then blues gradually, initially against their wishes sometimes, they have got quite used to me playing blues music in my car, even on long journeys.
Got my 16yr old a turntable for his birthday and he's been buying LP's - Jackson 5, Motown greatest hits, Otis Redding AND he has been going through my record collection of blues that I accumulated in my teenage years (in the 1980's).
Last night he said he wanted to show me something he had been working on, on piano (he plays trumpet & guitar) - and he's secretly been trying to play bluesy stuff on piano. I'm so chuffed !!! He's a fast learner too.
I had to learn on cheap crappy guitars and I feel I might have faired better/faster with better instruments - so he is really benefitting from my guitars lying around etc.
Sorry, I'm high-jacking your thread.
What paint and paint-effects did you use to get that "Faux" Duco finish ?? (it's very good !)

Good stuff Snakey, my 40 something son knows every type of rap known to man! However his son, my grandson now 15 has been sliding since he was 7! He's now taking 'proper' lessons and plays in the school band.
The paint I used on this project was hammerite smooth which I then manipulate while it's drying.
Once it's cured for a few days it gives a really tough finish.
Hope that's of some help.
Thank you for your kind comments 🙂

Used to play in a duo with my dad when I was in my teens. Happy memories - and we always had great fun playing together during my adult years too. Have fun together! Andy |

He's already learnt the Elmore James shuffle rhythm pattern (on guitar) from me - which I'm very pleased about.
He's still to get the hang of playing slide but I think it will come.
