hi pete. you are right, there is a "reality programme" about the boss pretending to be one of the workers, trying to catch them out i expect so they can fire them. i have no idea what it's called. i cant be doing with all this "lets pretend we dont know there's a camera on us" BS.

as is stated in the article, macca suggested to jacko that he should invest this way, little realizing that jacko would stab him in the back by buying all his songs (+ all the other songs owned by ATV) which caused a big falling out and only the one joint recording. well, what would you do in the circumstances?

hey, not bad this being dead thing...is it? we are dead aren't we, after all the world did end yesterday...didn't it? funny that, things up here in heaven seem to be exactly as they were down there on earth....or did someone make a big fool of themselves then?

lesson being; dont make promises you cant keep

merry christmas russ, your splashing out well. i've just seen a recording set-up by boss with all the fx from the ME 50 and i think 24 tracks. it looks good and quite cheap at under £600, probably cheaper your side of the pond. i've dropped hints to the boss, but she's not picking-up at the moment, spending all my hard earned on grandkids....i've gone right off kids!

talk in the new year buddy?

i hate kids! i have 4 of my own and 11 grandchildren...and they all think they know more about music than me...flaberghasted!

i've only been playing guitar for 46 years. gigging for 42 years and an avid listener since i was 10! (51 years) i can listen to a song and dissect the chord structure, analyse the arrangement, critique the words and vocal etc. all they can do is say "yeah, but look how pretty they are and how good they can dance..."

i once met a teenager   who liked clapton though, so i guess their not all bad

hey zguitar, wasn't it the spanish that extinctified the mayans? then again, i suppose if they could see it coming they wouldn't have welcomed them, would they?

hi rakuraku,   have you got a volume control on your guitar? if so turn it down, you may also have tone controls? try playing with them till you get the sound you want. if you dont have either you could try buying a decent pick-up.

sympathies to your friend....it's nice to be appreciated .

the song i relate to mostly is; "I think I'll drink a beer then my world revolves around pee" it's an age thing (so they tell me).

my favourite Welsh song would be "Sospan Fach" which means "small saucepan" but for some reason is the anthem of my home town Llanelli, in South Wales UK

1 & 2, it depends on what sound i want for any particular song or part thereof. i use pick or finger pick at different times in any particular song and position over the sound hole, near the bridge or on the neck . i have even developed a style (unintentionally) where i use a pick and pluck with my fingernail at the same time, it gives a different sound, which i use on the high part of .

3, i got terrible dents where you mentioned on the strat, which has a rosewood neck, also the neck behind the same frets have worn. i'll sell it one day and let the buyer have a discount so he can get it re-fretted.

4, i usually buy strings that are colour coded. if there's one missing or something, i'll send the whole lot back for a refund.
