Here I am green with envy... so I'll get my revenge by being a mini party
pooper ;-) the 10th anniversary is not next year, but in 2011. Still, 10
years already??? And I've missed most of them by now, I never went to a
NotWigan or a NotNotWigan!
Sounds like it was great (no surprises there).
maybe next time... my 2004 T-shirt is wearing out, I need a new one :-)

Try telling that to Bert Weedon! Although EVH, whoever he is, probably did
boost guitar sales acceptibly in the 80's. Willkommen!

That's a pretty cool idea.
But would you get the original line up ?

I've used capos occasionally but usally find them more hassle than they're
worth especially using string bending. By the time I've set up the ideal
pressure and position to do the job I've lost the will to live. OTOH if you
use heavy gauge strings, don't bend them much or far they're useful. IIRC

Sorry, Luke,
I don't think many of the regulars in uk.music.guitar will be voting
until/unless you stop cross-posting and filling up this newsgroup with crap
responses from the morons who inhabit alt.guitar.
Nothing personal but appropriate nonetheless.
Hope you understand.

Respect to you too, mate. Arguably - no, definitely - the best yet!
I'm not going to list anyone or anything as being especially superb, as it
would just be repeating everything that has been said so far and also might
well exclude others whose names I don't yet know or have forgotten, on
account of my failing memory and hearing, and also the fact that at the

I had a thought about that that I shared with a few people. Perhaps a
Greatest Hits' package where we each choose a favourite performance
from the last 10 years and do it again. I'm sure we can pull together
a complete list of tunes from the past 8 years.

I've found Handbrake to be pretty handy for video conversions. It
comes with a few useful presets (none for youtube unfortunately), but
you can still set a target file size, file type, change resolution,
and change bit rate. I'm sure someone more au fait with youtube
uploading can suggest what the ideal resolution, bit rate and file

A capo wins hands-down over barred chords IF you want/like/need open strings
in your preferred playing techniques.
Do what works for you, and don't worry about it, unless/until you need to do
things differently!
