The green meadow hills in Italy are beyond inviting. And the coasts and architecture nearby the sea are amazing. Great photo essay that works with that guitar line.

Thank you Simon for not smiting us with your mighty hand. 😂

I wanted to pass on my thanks for the last year of the foro Simon. I have mostly just been lurking, but the Flamencos of Cadiz Bay and a transcription of Ahora o Nunca - both of which I discovered on here - helped me through some dark times following a bad case of Covid and then early stage cancer diagnosis. It’s been a cherished oasis of (mostly) sanity!

Nice photos and relaxing background music.
2023 is the 20th anniversary of the founding of the foro? Is something spectacular gonna happen here?

Chinese humbuckers for 20 Euros through a copy of a Hofner bass control unit. The guitar is made of basically, plywood. I play with the edge of my thumb nail, which changes the tone a lot.
