Multidimensional. Very well done.
-
But seriously. My theory is this. Guitarists who have an innate ability to map the fretboard do so in phrases, not scales or arpeggios. None of my heroes are the studious types. Scales and arpeggios are for people of lesser gift. That they might…

Ha ha. At least you all know I don't rely on a spell chequer.
-
I refuse to believe that any of my guitar heroes practiced scales or arpeggios. Maybe Andy Summers. This is for nerds. (With respect to Rea)

I hadn't considered the Dark Side of the Chip. Woooah ! Still voodoo to me.
-
Well bands and stars (if they're big enough) become corporations with lots of staff and overheads. They have to keep going and going. Then there are the reunion gigs and revivals deliberately concocted to sell tickets. I wouldn't be keen to see MU…
-
Compared to... I like both very much.

I got into Abba ... and then out of it sharpish when I had children. It was the perfect music for toddler parties where the mums (the same festival cougars now) could get soused on white wine while the kids OD'd on Haribos and had tantrums. WAH…

I have a *battery* of children. The energy comes from all the fighting. Enough to power an army of Duracell Bunnies.
-
It's not that I don't 'get this music'. The problem is that I do when really I shouldn't. VANILLA ! The Glastonbury couger *Boomer* festival-going market is on the rise - so safe is this stuff grannies are going for it. Punk was a revolt agains…

I see equally gifted young bands in pubs all the time. Where are the hooks ? Other than the cover versions they do they are non existent.
-
Great sound. Great performance. Great musicianship... but NO TUNE. There is no song there. Unlike Zep.
-
Van Fleet... after Derek *Trucks* ? (good stuff)
-
Sure Mark. Therefore there need be no manufacture of guitars in the West at all. Heritage is the one and ONLY reason to do it in America otherwise the figures and rationale do not stack up. Let's not call them Gibson though. Call them Epiphone. …

Microchips are made in Israel. Happy Easter.

What looks like sorcery to me is my smart phone. I may as well be a member of a lost tribe in a rain forest as far as techno goes. My son said I looked like a monkey with an abbacus when I first got it.

My guess is that the capacitors are there for smoothing things out. Electronics engineers have my total respect.
-
My guess is this. The red thing is a resistor to protect the IC or use one of the caps as a timer with reactance (I think protect the IC.) The thing marked EOS is a pot to wind in/out current. The integrated circuit is where all the gaining takes pl…

What's the red thing and the thing marked EOS ?

Get well soon, Alfie !
-
I was only joking, Derek ! I didn't mean for you to really neglect your dog.
-
It's a therapeutic art. I found that if I couldn't move people with my guitar I simply hit them with it instead. Aiiiya !
-
Have you taken up the 7 Tigers, Mark ? I came up with a mix of guitar and karate (I'm a black belt - seriously) A combination of kata and scales. I call it Guitar-te.
-
Nice one !
-
You could do pyramid training with three dogs. Alfie, a whippet and a labrador - to give variety in weight.
-
Here's a thing you can do with Alfie. Take him out and combine fitness with him: Exercise 1 - hold Alfie out in front at chest height and at arms length for as long as possible Exercise 2 - hold Alfie above head and overhead press 10 reps x 3 sets…
-
Excellent playing, Mark, though it doesn't sound 'live'. Thanks for linking.
-
Yeh. Give up walking Alfie.
-
Yup. You're definitely in the wrong job ! Though my spare time is when no-one else is around. I work most weekends, bank holidays and mostly in the evenings or very early mornings - book on at 1am, 3 am anything stupid am that they tell me to. A …
