Not something I ever do (none of my cameras have a wide angle lens) but thought this might be of interest to some... Music videos

Sometimes, it seems, a new guitar just doesn't do what you expect it to do...

Looks like you'll not be getting out much for a month or so, Gav! Back to the market for some Old Spice, eh?

It'll be the devil to play. Maybe this should be your 'Model #666'

Guitar in the boot and a brum in the front I drove to Manchester to pick up the c.. lad then onwards to Rochdale, home of pioneers while all the time Andy is bending my ears we get there, we eat and we play some guitars the venue is splendid - with wifi and bars with old friends a-plenty and new ones to meet then back to the station with 'im in't front seat with big thanks to Chris for a great afternoon here's hoping we do it again really soon.

This is the room in which we met... and this is geddarby getting all bluesy - but I hadn't checked the recording levels so the sound is dreadful (sorry, Ged!)

Many thanks to dreadnought28 for organising a great afternoon (it may well have been a great evening, too - but Andy and I had to leave at 17:30ish) Here are a few photos to give you a flavour... It was great to see andyhowell , geddarby , Phil Taylor , ianlp59 , lavaman , RosieTGC and Riverman . There may well have been other forum folk whom I didn't realise were forum folk (or whom I have forgotten - sorry) - If so, feel free to tag yourselves! The venue was great - very accessible, plenty of parking, a bar and free wifi. Pretty much my ideal set up! There was tea and coffee to start and a hot buffet served at about 15:00. The room was superb - big and airy...and pillarless We also had a side room (where the buffet was) which was used as a sort of quiet room (well, by me at any rate). Lots of guitars, as you would expect, from factory martins and Gibsons to 'boutique' Bowns, Turnstones, Brooks, Lucas's, Kinsherff's.... No photo comments from me - feel free to add your own captions I reckon only 1/3 of the folk that came were known to me...so many potential new forum members!

It's Steve's birthday today - but he's not darkened our doorstep so no point wishing him a happy birthday,
Here he is playing "Slip Jigs and Reels" - a song that been covered by many and played to great effect by Dave White on more than one occasion.

Not uncomfortable at all, Phil Taylor . Knowing how much hard work, practice, blood, sweat and tears has gone into this production I reckon £79.99 (+P&P) is a bit of a bargain.

Just noticed that had been done already. Missed that one. Yeah, but you did it better

I just assumed it was how to play "Why Does It Always Rain On Me". Guess I was wrong... you live and learn

I have bugger all idea what neck profiles I have on my instruments. They're probably all different. The only thing I know is that none of them are square...
Maybe if it were pointed out to me and I had the chance to test them against each other I'd notice a difference but, until then...
