Cool. Not seen Guitar Interactive before - it looks good. Except the standard view is too small for me to read and if I zoom in it's too close and I'm having to scroll up and down and left and right for every few words. Is there a way of controlling the zoom, do you know?
Regarding Pierre, Ben and Susan, I'm still enjoying the three CD Encore set, although it does range from the brilliant shiver sending utterly moving and scarcely imaginable imagination to the "Hmmm...probably won't be playing that one again!". Luckily the former more than make up for the latter!

Glad you like it Derek. Guitar interactive often has some good things in it - the reviews usually have good videos with them too.
I have something of the same problem re screen size/magification etc - though maybe not as bad as you. presumably it depends a bit on screen size and resolution which will vary from machine to machine. The "+" button seems to jump in very coarse stages - I can't find any other adjustment either. If there are particular pages you like I suppose you could use the "download pdf" button which lets you download any number of pages you - I'm guessing that a pdf of one page would then be more adjustable to a good size and you'd only need to scroll up/down a little....?

Fine interview, thanks Keith!
Have you tried "full screen" or "toggle reading view"? Might help.

I downloaded the relevant pages and was able to read them perfectly - and discovered that the interview is actually a video that is clickable from the original link and I didn't need to read any text at all. This modern world, eh? Whatever will they think of next?
Haven't watched the multimedia stuff yet... Something to look forward to later!

A great interview. I love the opportunity of hearing such players talking about their own journey and philosophy.
Mind you, his posture when playing always looks incredibly uncomfortable to me. Somebody should suggest he uses a sound port!

Great!! Thanks Keith Don't understand why he played the guitar plugged in for the video - not impressed really with the sound. I have seen him live and the sound was good and Doug Young made that guitar sing umplugged in his review for AG mag. Phil
