Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Manchester UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition? At 77 it has to be to do everything better.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Just one is too limiting. The prettiest guitar I ever owned was a Vega in blonde flame maple, spruce soundboard and gold plated fittings. A client dropped it an broke the head off. Don't like guitar braggers so I'll leave it there, though I'm very happy with a new red Gretsch Electromatic that I was able to afford because I got more that I expected when I sold some old video production gear (my former job).
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Again too limiting but I wish I could play Recuerdos de la Alhambra.
I've been playing since I was 14 and I'm currently teaching my 9-year-old grandson to play. His f-year-old brother wants to learn and will start on a ukulele at Christmas.
Hello all!
Q1: Where did you username come from? About 17 years ago when I was 15 (eek) there was a user on the Metallica forum called Gerbie the Mad Forklift. I think several of us copied his username as a joke once, I just kept it.

Q3: What's your main musical ambition? To enjoy it. I spent half my life as a musician, about 5 years as a pro in a band and also doing a lot of functions on the side. As everyone says, the industry is shite and I got disillusioned with it. I'm getting back into playing electric now after a few years off and just want to enjoy it and learn songs I enjoy.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? Very tough to say (there's been plenty). Probably a Gibson Flying V with Bareknuckle Cold Sweats. It was black with a chrome pickguard used to blind audience members. Into a Mesa Mark IV.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Right now? Singularity by Devin Townsend. Ask me again tomorrow!

Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
I am in love with a Two Notes Torpedo Reload - it is so good at allowing me to play my valve amp through my studio monitors with IRs that I think it's a necessity now at home no matter which amp I'm using. Feels so good and is very very convenient.

My son invented a gang of imaginary monsters when he was 3, and the Centregrove was where he said they lived. Quite scary as it was at the back of my wardrobe - funny as we hadn't read him any Narnia books yet!

To stop playing the same few riffs/solos that I've been knocking out (badly) since I got into Metallica and bought my first guitar in 1993. In other words, to develop the discipline to practice.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
I've got a couple of 'proper' guitars (Les Paul, Strat) but my "best" bit of gear is actually a StewMac Les Paul kit guitar I 'built' myself. I might not save it first in a fire, but I'd pick it up to play before the others.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
I'm not sure such a thing exists, but if I was forced to choose....probably Brighton Rock by Queen. My dad gave me some old tapes to record over in the early 80s and one of them was a recording of Sheer Heart Attack.
