I think it's more commonplace (naturally) across the pond. I seem to find myself working with US and canadian guitarists a fair bit, some of which is reasonably complicated rock/fusion and they all communicate in this manner. Many a session with someone's scribblings in front of me! Regularly having 3/4 days notice max being able to operate this way is a godsend. My own style is somewhat of a hybrid... I use goodnotes on the ipad, and find reading my own scribbles way easier than anything typed. I also find handwriting them helps songs stick in my mind, and often means when the time comes i'm less likely to need notes anyway. In case this is of interest to anyone, here's some recent examples. Often written in the back of a van trying to hear the bass on an iphone speaker!

On the contrary, I live by NN for most of my professional work... if it's not written, i'm at least thinking in it! Such a great way to cover lots of ground very quickly and communicate with people. To the original point... I always think in the relative major! Song Charting Made Easy: A Play-Along Guide to the Nashville Number System is a really great resource for getting comfortable with the system.

Slightly lighter gauge incoming apparently... i have really fallen for these, looking forward to a slimmer set!

@scrumpymike Attendance confirmed... although I'll be running off by 2 for a gig. Do I need to send you some funds? Will have my Superbassman/610 rig, 2 Limelight Ps, 2 Sandberg TT Masterpieces, Acinonyx, pedalboards and upright with me for the shows so happy to set up anything anyone fancies trying out!

As a Noble user, I was looking for something that hit the spot for me when I couldn't take that out. I've owned a Capo for a little while, and while i liked how it sounds, I found it a little too sensitive and would end up endlessly fiddling with the EQ. I've ended up with a Caveman BP1c (of which there are some for sale on here!). It sounds similar to the Capo on the settings i liked, if not better, and is hard to mess up! And the biggie is that when i have that and not the Noble, I'm not bummed out! Hope that helps...

Looks like I may be able to come up... I have a gig not far away the night before. If so I'll have a van full of big Fender Valvey goodness, some Sandbergs, Limelights, possibly an upright and pedalboards. TBC!

At risk of a thread derailment @Chadu25... And to bring things back on track, here's the A rig. Unchanged for quite a while, possibly the upgrade from TX to TX-P and the return of the T-47 are the only changes since last time, although underneath a shift to Cioks power and a complete rewire this summer. And for the sake of completeness, here's the upright rig:

New small board alert... had a few things I was really enjoying but didn't want to mess with my main setup. So here's board 2!

@Quatschmacher If that doesn't pan out for any reason give me a shout!

Just had somebody nearly scammed by this profile on FB groups... using my listing photos (Jad Freer CAPO). Might or might not be our man, but be alert! Luckily the buyer found me first....

@Chienmortbb We have the combos where i teach and i find them really difficult to dial in for my students and myself. Almost feel like a modelling amp then going through a speaker cab. I did try the head out at the Cavern Club, and couldn't make it work for me either. Plugged my own head into the cabs and loved it so the speakers are decent! Edit... thought i might also add that the blackstar gear we have has been horrifically unreliable. We usually have a few out of action at any given time. The guitar amps sound great but suffer the same issues...

Everything about this show and the documentary of that week is incredible... certainly worth a viewing if you haven't!
