Football Shirts

Guitar Finance, totally off topic from the football shirt’s we normally talk about but let me explain. I’m look currently at guitar finance options with a view to buying a guitar. I’m looking to learn to play and then be able to write songs to record and play on you tube. At the moment I’m a bit skint after having to pay for a new season ticket hence the guitar finance option.

I’ve looked over some options for guitars including fender and gretsch guitars. Providing the guitar finance come in I’ll be able to record in the next few months and place some video’s live on you tube including an England song!
