There was a time when guitar shops were also a place just to hang around. I can't imagine how much popular music has been influenced by people hanging out on Denmark Street, for example.

When I was a young pup, I got a gig with a band who I was a long-time fan of. Knew the songs inside-out already, so I was clearly going to nail it. After the first song, the drummer politely says 'that was nice, but can you play about half the notes next time?' OK... I can do that. Another run through. 'Better. Now play half of what you just played.' And he was right.

Wrongly. I was just quoting you..! I was just genuinely curious as to why it would annoy you.

It wasn't intended to be. If you could point out the bitchy bit, I'd be grateful.

Apologies - I thought this was a discussion forum.

I feel the same. The ad should be corrected, but I wouldn’t say it’s something to get annoyed about. Even the Sunburst example I had looked like alder.

Here’s an exclusive look at the brief for these new Fenders:

Stinks of top-quality scam.

I'll be on about 90 by the time the year is out. I don't like sitting around the house much 😄

HOLY THREAD REVIVAL! The DVD is out soon. Here's a trailer.

Felt the same way when I saw him in Newcastle in 2002. Not even his great band (including Jim Keltner) could save it.

Strange how they lack so much cred, yet they're key to a big chunk of Eminem's success.

It’s a bit of a mutt alright..!

What do you like about it?

My old one, about 10 years ago. It's a beaut.

I absolutely concur.

I suspect they don't give a monkey's.

I'm getting studio on both..!
