Omg, Avril Levigne?? *cry*

When they gave me the one to try, they didn't even tune it! It was as if they were saying "you're buying a guitar, you should tune it BY EAR!" I mean, it's a very lovely guitar and you can tell it's got a lovely sound even when it's out of tune, but FFS!

Oh and to try it out I bashed out "Jeane" by The Smiths and "William's Last". So there, widdly-widdlys and your obvious riffs. Of course, I could've worked out "Motorcycle Emptiness" (see, I dragged this back on topic!). Oh god, I think I might, just to try out a guitar in a shop and go widdly-wddly and then pass it back and say "nah."

(and... I bought an electronic tuner from the same shop - a Korg CA-1 thingy and... it's gone insane! Maybe I accidentally recalibrated it by dropping it on the floor, though).

And... they had a special offer where I get a packet of guitar strings once a month. But that then means that every month I have to go into a guitar shop and encounter mullets and guitar wank and the off-putting stench of postering testosterone.

He's 0.75%.

And I have tried voting lots but I'm obviously not as fast as the widdly-widdly fanboys, alas, who're voting on the others.

Yeah I don't think I've ever heard James referenced in guitar circles other than where I've brought him up!

I don't care though, he's the one-man reason I got into guitar and I owe fucking everything to that guy.

I still don't know who Alter Bridge are. Are they civil engineers? Even after watching part of the video I'm not sure. They seem to be very popular though. Hmm... I clearly live under a rock.

Alter Bridge? Really?

I call shenanigans.

Guitarist magazine is a funny publication but mostly I'm mystified at the raging hard-on they seem to have for Joe Bonamassa in that mag. White man blues is one of the worst forms of music known to man.

They've got a very shit bandname. And a not very good song. I stopped listening when the singer came and delighted us with his presence. My eardrums were begging me to end the agony and either turn it off or stab them with toothpicks. So I think I may have missed this amazing guitar solo. Waaaahhh...! <--- probably sounded a bit like that, didn't it?
