Indeed it would my son. Indeed it would indeed. Thing is though, I'm y'know, a busy pope, y'know, and, y'know, if it's all the same, y'know, to the brethren and sistren of, y'know, the DoI, it would make my job a bit more, well, busy trying to, y'know, be in two places at once. Now God, She's really good at that kind of thing, what with being omnipresent 'n all. Just that, y'know, I'm, y'know, not. Omnipresent that is... Not complaining. Oh dearie me no. Not a bit of it. Perish the thought. Nothing further from, y'know, etc. Just, y'know, something my dear friends in the aforesaid DoI might, y'know, want to take into consideration. Y'know?

This could wind up as the longest greetings thread in the history of Basschat. Just sayin'...

You're gonna fit right in! Oh, and many happy returns commiserations hail and welcome!

If I had any clue what you're on about I might be inclined to take offence. As it is, I don't, so we're good. 👍 Speculum decorum my son. Ave.

Say what?

I used to live just along the road from Marconi's. Biggest pizza house I've ever seen by miles.

Meh!

Does this help?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition DoI!

Merry Christmas all!

Shan't!

Oi!

Last contribution from me in this thread... I posted a Youtube video that seemed to me to chime with @skankdelvar's OP, and was posted in the spirit that he posted his. Call me naive, but I saw no coercion in the video I posted. I saw a talented 6-year-old able to sing and play multiple instruments to a high standard, not to mention being able to use a studio environment to overlay multiple tracks. I saw it as a Good Thing. Had I known I would become involved in an argument a discussion about the education system in South Korea I would have saved myself the aggravation. That said: Whilst I would accept that self-harm and suicide are an issue for the country, I would politely point out that the same or similar could be said of many other countries around the world (including the UK by the way - perhaps this document will make the point). That being the case, judging the success of a country's education system by the criterion of not having its population commit suicide appears to suggest that pretty much every country on the planet is failing its children to some degree. Do we really believe that? Furthermore, the rate of actual suicides among school-age children appears from the chart above (acknowledgement to @Stub Mandrel for posting it) to have been around 1 in 100,000 in South Korea in 2012, since when it appears to have gone down. I do so love to be involved in discussions where participants understand the matters whereof they speak. I'm out.

Depends how you measure success. Tell you what; let's agree to disagree.

I think it's South Korean. One of the best - and most successful - education systems in the world; just sayin'... Not so sure we're in any position to pass judgement TBH.

Popped up unbidden on my Youtube this morning:

It's almost certainly bigger though.

Sometimes it's good to be a Lefty...

She has a series of YouTube vids, and they're all just as good as this one. Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvrmr8Nfd86dG7pnSHC7c6Q/videos Oh, and yes, it is sickening!

Guitar solo's pretty straightforward if you play it like Kossoff. More to the album version than the single, but even so... Trick is to get the vibrato right IIRC. Just, y'know, sayin'.

It would be nice to be able to say 'you heard it here first'...................

...and as if by majik...

You've probably thought of this already but just so I've said it, don't forget to mix down to mono. Backing tracks are likely to be stereo mixes so might sound a bit weird if you don't.

Serious question (yeah yeah!): dunno if you said anything already, but what do you think of the amp?
