Nah! they're shite dude! You gotta trust me on this As we used to say The Cure? - "Have they not found it have they not?"

Worst gig EVER has to be Hugh Cornwell at Bradford Queens Hall early 90's - Truly dreadful Not funny then and not funny now either - whereas......

Mi own worst gig EVER! General Wolfe, Coventry 27th June 1987. Bass player was that pissed he passed out on stage.

What every Friday and Saturday!

BTW No fucking chance of me playing those two stretches you posted. :oops: A couple of aural nightcaps for before I hit mi sack: This is mi Spaghetti Western thang - Pluck in reverse from top to bottom E and sound the low E last and late - Play at different speeds and build up to a strum. Turn round...

http://www.21frets.com/images/misc/Necks_small.jpg Meanwhile back in the bar........... Mi Strat pretty sure is a D Mi Kinkade Rosewood Tele is a U Not sure about mi black Tele it's packed away with the band stuff. Maybe a C I'll get back to ya. :grin: Small Stone used to have a 70's one - flogged ...

Yeah I agree Strat is definately mi favourite to play. Love the neck! Don't get on with it live tho'. As you say weedy sound and I always end up knocking the bloody volume/tone pots. :roll: Prefer the look and sound of the Tele. (Don't know why 8) ) Have Seymour Duncans on it and bought a replacemen...

I take it the lack of our lady members contributions to this thread mean that no band is shite.

"Our Lady Members" what a great name for a band. Bet they'll be shite!

Good call.. About time we injected a bit of fingerboard wanking on here! Maybe some of the female contributors could apply the fret oil and referee whether the chords are offside .

BTW No chance of me playing those last two. Mi digits are too short!

Nice 8) Mr Streeb. I love them twisty notes! Here's a couple of Barry type ones. First one slight different voicing on yours.

I still don't particularly like the music but I have to give `em respect.

Stones
Quo
Iron Maiden

Maybe it's a longevity thing.
