This is an interesting one. Most of my pedal purchases have been tone or dynamics related rather than crazy noise related. I'm sure the phase will pass, however it's fun. Latest arrival is this Turns a dull sound into a huge thumping rattling racket. Don't know if it's supposed to not how it will sound live. I'll find out tonight.

Most unusual song I've had to learn. It's a request for a Bandeoke party - Blackbird by The Wurzels 😅

Strings come on third edition I believe. It's a little bit vanilla but we'll see. @Dood is yours a physical mag or online only?

The internet has opened the doors to so much content it's difficult keeping track of it all. I've found a couple of 'local' BBC shows available on the BBC Sounds application which appeal to me and I suspect might work well for other folk of a similar age and musical disposition. My tastes were formed in the early seventies and waved goodbye to (most) popular music in the mid 80s. These shows probably reflect this. It would be great to hear what you've found. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001y25s?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p02v9nnp?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Bandeoke in Bristol again last night. The guitarist is getting married today and Wednesday was his stag. It was easily detectable that the band doesn't usually go out on the night before Bandeoke. We crawled over the finish line

Yes indeed. The guitarist videos our Bandeoke every week - you can bet he doesn't care how badly I played when he chooses which sing to broadcast!

Something I've learnt when playing unfamiliar material, if I get lost it's better to play nothing than hack around randomly trying to fill the silence. No bass beats wrong bass every time. Wait for the merry go round to come back to a horse you recognise and jump back on. Oh and worrying about mistakes benefits no one. I might think I'm being conscientious and professional berating myself for every slip, but in truth I'm just making myself tense and stressing about stuff which has gone. Focus on the next note not the last one

My god I almost admire him. Played you like an old fiddle 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy conversation more

My immediate question too... I wonder how much
