Just an old bloke rediscovering guitar after a 25+ year break.
You are never too old to learn guitar and give it a go.

Science Fiction - The Divinyls - Guitar Cover
I've always wanted to try this one and wondered why none of the prolific Aussie guitar tutorial channels have never done one of it (that I can find). Anyway, so I guess it fits the bill for me to have a crack at it. I have the original vinyl record and have been to plenty of Divinyls gigs whenever they came to Perth back in their heyday. I even have a few mates that have played in Divinyls cover bands, so I am a bit embarrassed to post this up, in case they see it, as it is probably nothing like how you are supposed to play it. In my defense, remember there are two guitars in the original mix. I am just playing the most discernable parts (to my ear) as a one guitar arrangement which gives me some latitude for stuff ups. ;) If it helps anyone, great, but if I've stuffed it up, my apologies. Sounded close enough for me.

Miss Wonderful - The Saints - Guitar Cover

No time like the present to try and get my mojo back again. Two tracks in one week, that's a good start. Anyway, this one is off the Monkey Puzzle album which I have on vinyl. Such a great pop/grunge song typical of the Saints. Great melody and a very fast lead break that seems simple but trust me its not. Took me ages to figure it out and when you add the tremelo it makes it harder to discern ...

Well, we are finally in our new home, and I now have a new Music room /office up and running. I know it's been quite a while since I posted anything, basically as I haven't been playing at all for over a year. So, what better way to get back into the swing of things than something nice and easy by the Sports. Great Aussie band from the 70's. I played along to the coundown clip and tracked the g...
All guitarists dread this happening on stage

We have all been there. You read the next song on the set list and for the life of you, you just can't remember how it starts. Happened to me at this show a few years back, plus a few other shows since, that perhaps weren't caught on camera. Signs the "Old" in Old Guitar Dad was coming to the fore. Hat tip to our dear friend and sadly recently departed keyboard player Pete, ever the consummate ...

One that got caught by the youtube police during the Big Bash cricket league over here in Australia at the end of last year so I had to delete it. I think they must have had an injunction on playing it as it was played at virtually every match. Anyway, today I thought I might see if the injunction had lifted and sure enough it is letting me upload it. It's just a simple riff that is fun to play...
Running Wild - Airborne - Guitar Cover

Okay so motivation sorted, after the other day learning and recording a couple of easy ones. Today decided to learn and record another classic Aussie band. My first Airborne one but probably not the last. They have some awesome AC/DC like riffs throughout their songs. Perhaps that can be construed as a criticism, on the contrary I think they are still quite unique; the drums are what reminds me...

Another quick one for the day, hopefully this will get me out of a slump and start me playing again. Hardly touched the guitar for a year now. Still loads of songs on my list of "must try" songs.
Teenage Kicks - The Undertones - Guitar Cover

Trying to get motivated to pick up the guitar again. Thought a quick thrash might push me over the edge to learn a few songs. Lover this song since the day it was released. Classic early punk.

I tried uploading another Spiderbait song for Xmas / New Year (Shazam!), but the copywrite police blocked it, so here is a quickly scrambled together version of this classic Aussie Ballad featuring Chris Bailey (RIP) from back in 84'. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Lets hope 2023 is a bit better than 2022. Fingers crossed my new house gets built by then and the new mus...

A slideshow of some old pics from my days in the band accompanying a live recording taken from our gig at the Kuckerin burnouts in late 2021. Just reminiscing and found this clip on my computer that I think i posted on our facebook page but not on the channel.

Got the MX49 out again for a whirl on a great Gary Numan track. Played along to a live version with Nine Inch Nails. I should have grabbed the tambourine as well though ;)

Got Big Red (Ibanez 1920) out for a run along with my Epiphone EJ 200SCE/VS jumbo acoustic that doesn't see the light of day much these days. Funnily enough I also did a take where I played the violins / cello's that are in the song on my MX49 but I figured that was just a bit too much to edit in, so I left it out. It is still the Old GUITAR Dad channel not Old keyboards Dad. The vid from the h...
This Perfect Day The Saints - Guitar cover (no Capo)

Okay, so when I decided to record this I did my usual scan of UA-cam to check out a live version of Ed playing the riff, but then when I pulled out a record to play along to, it was shifted in pitch a full step. I looked at another one and it was up a step and a half. So I figured I would adapt what Ed plays (explained at the end of the vid) and push it up the desired number of frets to match t...

As you can see I bought myself a Yamaha Mx49 synth to muck about with. I have no idea what I am doing, and obviously cannot play keyboards to save my life, but I am willing to give it a go. Same as with the guitar I just play by ear and missed a few notes here and there, I know, but jeez its fun playing a whole brass section with one finger. This is one of my favorite Saints songs, sadly nobody...
