Nice one neophytte and great to see you  had a mate join in with you for this one.   Mixes it up and makes it interesting to see others as well.  Do you 2 play together often?

I think there is a 3rd "wanna be" that wants to be in the video performance as well  hahaha ....... maybe get your son to join in next time with a shaker or something lol

As an alternative just play one note at a time. It’ll at least be less obvious.

Some of my stuff comes from dreams. I once kept a notepad by my bed so if I woke up and the dream of the song was still intact, I'd quickly makes some notes, turn over and go back to sleep - hoping to get back into the dream if it was a good one, dreading getting back into it if it was a bad one.

Next morning, I'd wake up - remembering that I had written this down, open the notepad, look at it and say to myself, "What in the _____ is this_____????"

Only partially kidding. That would happen sometimes. Most of the other times I could get a verse or two written. I've only ever completed maybe two songs from dreams.

I think you should start doing whammy dives. I feel like with that axe you HAVE to. It's a moral imperative.

Did you ever see my PRS with a Floyd Rose?

I installed a Roland GK pickup to run synth sounds - click the pic for the full story ...

Wow that’s a good lookin axe

So now my wife wants to know if you have blue eyes...... If I didn't know better......;).

You plan on doing a lot of whammy dives with that locking nut?

Nice, Richard. You chose a pretty color. I wish you much fun playing your Strat!

Nice rig, NEO ... I love that it's got a Floyd Rose, and not the usual stock Fender tremolo ... much more stable. How's it sound?

Made in Japan (MIJ) Standard Stratocaster -

During their transition into a new facility beginning in 1984, Fender went through a period of relatively low domestic output when they were subsequently forced to rely more heavily on Japanese imports to meet demand. As evidenced by the rise in popularity of Japanese brands during the 70’s and 80’s, the FujiGen Gakki-made Fenders were exceptionally well-made. At least one account states that when the first shipments of these guitars arrived at  Fender, some builders actually cried when confronted with a Japanese standard of quality that had yet to be achieved in American production. Regardless of the veracity of such a story, the quality of this guitar’s construction and performance is self-evident, as it could certainly hold its own against any Strat made today.

While the addition of the Kahler Spyder undoubtedly adds a bit of weight (and complexity!) to this guitar, it is still a manageable 8.2 lbs and physically well-balanced. Though the guitar is used, (snip...)

Obviously the Kahler floating tremolo system is one of this guitar’s more distinctive features. Though perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea, the Kahler tremolo makes this Strat a great value for anyone in need of a dive-bombing shredder guitar (or simply a more stable instrument). While not pictured, please note that the appropriate tremolo arm is included! On a final note, all proceeds of this sale will go towards the purchase of student model guitars for charity. Thanks for looking!
