    Oh yeah! I'm all for those, sort of Zep meets Townshend meets Davey Graham.

    Is that standard tuning on Solo Sunday?

    Yep - Solo Sunday is standard tuning - just a lot of open strings :-)

    I love drop D, and double drop D (ideal for Cinnamon Girl)

    I stumbled across this yesterday the reviews are unreal. Epiphone EL 00 ~ £199, don't be put off by the model or price. It's got it's got the most vintage acoustic tone I've ever heard..hear for yourself. I'm so tempted,

    And check the demos on youtube..

    I have no idea what a 'drop D' is....and it's probably better that way....;-)

    I adore 'Waterfall'. Given my lifestyle this may be odd. Well? I am odd!!!....;-)

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious.

I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
