I will attach a video of a perfect blend of classical and rock. Check out the lead guitarist on here he is only eleven years old and is brilliant his name is Olly Pearson. He flew over from his home in Wrexham Wales to Paris to perform in this video. Julien Cohen did a brilliant job of arranging all the musicians and the sound and film crew to put this this video together. Julien is the guy on the piano.

Good one Jim keep up the good work.     

Hi Jim the link you put up takes me to a G Mail questioner not a band playing music.     

I love that Irish vibe.     

You and your guitar sounding good pn this one Grah.     

Cheers Richard and Jim Happy New Year and thank you for your feedback.  I occasionally use a capo when playing  especially now my fingers are not as they use to be. It is a bit of a slow set up for me making sure its set right and the string tuning is all good. If I was doing a show I would definitely use a capo like yours Richard. When I use to visit the guitar shop I sometimes used one like the one in your picture if my friend working in the shop had a guitar for me to play on and when on some occasions he would encourage me to play using a capo like yours which he kept under the counter...  The mandolin player wasn't happy with my choice of tempo but was ok with my choice of notes for her to play. She didn't want me to use her name on the tune. I tried to make the instrumental into three parts with different tempos. After a bit discussion we compromised with just over dubbing her playing a few bars at the end instead of the two of us being out of sync and playing together all the way through. I don't think I could have managed to match the speed of the mandolin player or the tempo she was happy playing at..     

I like what your doing there Richard with your friend  getting out there and giving folk who have been slowed down a chance to enjoy some music.     

Good one Piri and Richard it is real interesting what you guys are putting up on here. These interaction have been good value thank you I just looked at the official Spotify  top 40 most played songs in New Zealand for the last 18 months. Apart from Wham who I think was only a duo the rest are solo artists from what I can tell.. I suppose I should also say one of the songs was a duo with Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The Top 40 singles in New Zealand  for last week are similar. On the You Tube New Zealand top 40 most played from the 6th to 12 th December there is a few more bands. Wham , Coldplay, NSYNC, Little River Band.  I think listening habits might get a bit skewed at this time of year due to the Christmas season.  The one constant through out human history I guess is what does an individual define as sound and what is noise.  It always going to be blurry subject one persons music is another persons unwanted auditory experience. Do we need to experience music with our ears might sound like a stupid question or is it??Beethoven composed some of his most important works during the last 10 years of his life when he was quite unable to hear  He even introduced the world to his most famous composition, the Ninth Symphony, after deafness had overtaken him
I will attach a link to a short vid to how some deaf people experience music.
