First thing to play?

[chas]

Ok - so I am eagerly awaiting my new L32C...what was the first riff/song you guys played on your new toys when you got them? Any suggestions on what mine should be?!?

Frivolous answers only...

How about "You Sexy Thing (I Believe in Miracles)" by Hot Chocolate, because we didn't dare to hope to see some new Avalons being built?

Less frivolous, the first thing I played on my L32C was 'All Laid Back & Stuff". It was looking for Lowden clips on youtube that I discovered Andy McKee and therefore Avalons, of which, up till then only only vaguely heard. I tried a Lowden O32C a couple of times and liked it and thought , "Why not give an Avalon a go?" I very nearly pulled the trigger on a D300 (about which I still have thoughts...) Reading the dedication to the brand by forumites here, especially Rick Jones on his L32, and JB's advice were highly instrumental (pun intended!) in my taking a punt on a guitar sight unseen.

Hmmm perhaps I should learn to play drifting before they finish mine.... they'd have to build it a lot more slowly though!

Tried that one - could never get the hang of the percussion bit.

I don't know - I'd have a bloody good try!

It happens to me all the time - you get used to it!
