I’ve been missing the sea so much too! Haven’t been near the sea for more than two years.
Now I’m having a couple of weeks holidays and enjoying the feeling of salt water, sand and sun! I really needed this!
Un abrazo amigo mio!! Buen fin de semana!

April 30th WristScan 'Favorite Guitarists' is now off and running! . . .
By: Dr No : April 30th, 2021-15:05
. . . let's share our idols this weekend along with the watch currently on our wrist. Most of you know that my passion for the Stones exceeds that for watches and pool, so you'd expect Keith . . . . . . to be my fave, and you'd be right. But you'd be wron...
Thanks . . .

Not only the best string wizard

He is the best artist in my opinion. Clapton. Erik, slow hand. Above Bowie Above Mercury Above Steve Above Hendrix Above Bonamassa Above anything. The king of the super band Cream.

Lorenzo Micheli
By: mhz vph : April 30th, 2021-17:13
The greatest classical player of all time in my opinion. He is my main role model and source of inspiration for my playing. There are faster and louder players (both of which are technically demanding in classical) but he has the phrasing and articulation...
Sigi is far more versatile

Fun theme this week, Art!
By: Brandon Skinner : April 30th, 2021-19:45
My fave guitarist has to be Slash🤨🎸. He’s so many things that I am not and rips on the guitar. GnR ushered out the trash that was hair metal (though it looked liked fun, I was too young to indulge in the excesses of the time). In honor of Slash, I present...
Very cool, Art!

Eddie's technical mastery on guitar . . .

Thanks Art!

Wow dear Art! You bring some fond memories here!
By: Subexplorer : May 1st, 2021-15:17

What a fantastic theme!
By: Boris : May 1st, 2021-00:11
Gee, where to start with this one? I've been into rock music for as long as I can remember, and there are so many guitar players I admire. Let's start with the obvious, Jimi Hendrix, who's probably the first name that comes to mind, due to his sheer virtu...

So here's my trusty Seiko SKX007 with the Brian May mod. The original Seiko is the SRPE83 "Brian May" edition, with a dial inspired by May's guitar, the Red Special. I loved the dial, but preferred a black chapter ring, plus I was getting a bit bored with...

Romeo and Juliet remains one of my favourite Dire Straits songs. His unique guitar style elevates the song tremendously!

Steve Stevens was with Billy Idol, at least I know him from then? Also the guitar of "Dirty Diana" from Michael Jackson? Have to look deeper to it
Angus and ACDC are in my top 5 bands to rock out to
By: Tim Jackson : May 1st, 2021-19:55
Highway to Hell, Back in Black and For Those about to Rock are seminal albums from my youth. '79, '80 & '81 the peak for me of ACDC! That music sticks with one for a lifetime. Memory Lane is good today ;-) Cheers, Tim
