If you didn't have any keys, how did you get in? Wink

There were a couple of people that had never seen anybody playing keyless before, so I let them play my keyless and after that they were fine with it.

Joe, if you didn't let them play your keyless were they going to kick you out of there? Whoa!

Joe, that's better than being clueless in front of everyone. Been there, done that!

The best thing about playing a keyless guitar is that when someone asks you what key the song is in...you tell them it doesn't matter because the guitar is keyless Razz

I play a sans keys Sierra 12...which makes me keyless, clueless, and locked out of the house!!!

I now have two keyless GFIs, a S12 & finally a D10 again. Never shoulda sold that old Zum back in 2000. Now if I can just get so I can play again.......no more cancer, so I need to get with it.....not working a day gig anymore either.....no excuse for not practicing. Just put an extended E9th on the S12 for my son when he's ready to try it. He's finishing his PHD @ USC in LA right now.......no time to try steelin'. He has a starter he bought on my recomendation (just because it had 4 KLs & I had never seen one??) and a Fender/ShoBud
student model(only 1 KL)I bought him a couple years ago. He plays cello & regular guitar and gigs around the area with friends.

I had just the opposite here in the Cleveland/Akron area in the Eighties! If you showed up with a keyed guitar, everybody looked at you weird! Kline country!

Doug, that's great news. Now you need to practice up and teach Bobbe a few licks. Very Happy

Hi Joe.....Bobbe has taught me much more than I ever taught him! Passed on stuff he learned from those great Texas steelers! He showed me putting the F on string 8 when I was playing a Fender 400 & wondering how they were getting the fine jazz chords. 4 pick grips! like Shearing piano? I loved it! Gotta practice like that again......man it took me 6 months to get used to that "extra" finger pick? That was before I had met Reese & Bud Carter. They is pickers!
