Re: Gibson cable (7 replies, posted in Electric)
sounds a bit like the gadget line 6 were giving away with there amps a few years back .I received one when I bought my spider 75 never used it the spider has its own built in looper but I still prefer the old Boss rc2 which is so easy to use .But as Doug says DAW soft ware is out there and there are many good free programs .Audacity works fine costs nothing .

Re: Old age and long hours (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I do quite a lot of parties and barbeque entertainment for the Brit pack out here and even though it's quite low-key it takes a bit of effort .we do tend to make it a bit of an open Mic session so any one who wants to do a turn is welcome to get up and have a go but usually it's either Kev ,Brian or me who do the bulk .But it does encourage people to have a go,as its not as nerve racking as a real open Mic because it's just usually family and friends.
Any way back to whining my hand still hurts and is swollen ,Doug can you recommend a good nurse we can hire along with the road crew?

I am knackered this morning I'm getting too old for this Greek rock, last night we played nearly 5 hrs in our set to a fantastic audience ,a packed venue lots of enthusiastic dancers and the camera packed up again .I had cramp in my hand during 3 songs and leg cramps driving home this morning .I don't know how these traditional Greek bands do it , we st up at 6 30 pm sound checked started playing at 9.30 finished our set at around 2 30 packed the gear away and got home at 4 this morning .I think I'm gonna stick to festivals in future , you go ,plug in play 1hr un plug and come away , Much easier ........No wait a minute this is rock and roll ......long live rock and roll...

Cant remember if I posted this before but this is the original version of a song Liz Wheeldon and I wrote about 3 yrs ago its been in GB's set since then and went down a storm at Matala this year with Elpida Hatzidakis on vocal .However this version has me singing and playing every thing it so I hope you enjoy it .I hope to have a live version from tonight's gig if the camera doesn't fail again.

Re: Greek Wedding music (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
yeah I have a copy its quite true to life in a lot of ways ,but despite all the moans and groans Its great here the people are fantastic the weather is superb some of the music is great its just the trad stuff grates on your nerves after a few hours .I have some friends who play "modern" lyra and they are amazing .Its a strange technique as you don't press the strings down as in violin you rest your fingernail against the string to make the note my friend Kostis says its easy but he's been playing since he was a kid .He threatened to teach me but I make it sound even worse than you can imagine I'll stick to guitar .
