Yeah, lots of heavy hitters here. 8pm has passed and still no fash.

Tens of thousands easy. I’m outside the office now. It’s a party

I’m not there to get handsy but have removed the pic

Heading over to Walthamstow hoe street shortly. Any forumengers going I’m in grey wearing this cap ;)

I’ll be there in Walthamstow from 7 as well. Not expecting any real trouble but not much hope for help from police either if it looks like Finchley will be the spicy one.

Ask your artist for an extra sheet of saniderm just in case.
I don’t use it personally but when my partner had lots of sessions on a sleeve last year the artist was more than happy to dish out extra sheets.

Nice, you could raise a fine swarm and hire it out to folks.

I’m sure you’re right. It’s mostly just wishful thinking that it’ll help.
With an abandoned plot opposite and the no man’s land behind the clubhouse next to us both being absolutely riddled with various weeds it’ll just be a constant battle.

In 4yrs we’ve never really got on top of the bindweed, we just do all we can to pull it up when we see it. Now that we’re overall mostly on top of maintenance it’s not too much of a hardship to keep up with.
Covering over winter slows it down but it’ll never stop.

Convinced the woodchip/manure deliveries this year had weed seeds in as we’ve had a fast growing woody thing this year we’d never seen before.

The corn on the plot opposite ours is up to 10+ft tall now. No badgers getting up there :)

Anyone got a good hotsauce recipe that scales up and down easily?

Yeah I’ve read mixed reviews about them. Apparently the more recent ones(mahogany sides and different preamp) are better than the previous version with the all-over paint job.
No doubt there’s much nicer sub £300 acoustics out there but I’m certainly not in the market for the foreseeable lol.

I’m mostly just setting an a minor drone note for an hour on YouTube and pootling around the pentatonic scale. That was my homework and sticking to it. In the process have worked out a few riffs from Sleep and Witch.

They look nice, does the lack of random switches compared to original jags make much difference?

Been switching between my swinger and the strat this week :)
First impressions are good- the longer, wider neck is definitely easier for open chords with my clumsy fingers but scales and moving around are still a little easier on the swinger. Not sure how i feel about having a trem, turns out I like to rest my hand on the bridge.

I also saw the little Fender Malibu acoustic when I was in the shop last week, some colours appear to go cheap online from time to time. Didn’t try it but looked fun for the money. Has a jag/mustang neck/scale apparently.

It’s always been a metric fuck ton in the yards/workshops I’ve spent my life in.

The imperial ones are still good too if you still have the relevant tools/scales to handle them.

Great response. We can be vultures on here at times and it’s not pretty.
Good luck with the sale and wish your lad every success in their racing.

I have what can only be described as ‘a fuck ton’
Small bell peppers and anchos have been readily available for weeks, the rest of the 20 or so plants are all bearing fruit and/or flowers.
Some are for sauce, some for eating and some for drying/preserving.

Chillis and toms coming along nicely.

Not the best garlic haul this year, elephants did well again.

Pictures? Specs? Price?

Oh yeah ok, Beato I can do, enjoyed a couple of his yt vids.

Also, just realised Bob runs playthisriff.com so should probably sign up to that one lol

Absolutely, that’s why I was hoping to do both to a greater or lesser extent, especially as I can’t afford a weekly with Bob, but £120ish for a whole year of online content seems justifiable.
Will have a look at Justin, have seen a few on his YouTube tutorials but find him a bit jarring so never really looked too much at his stuff.

I definitely think a one to one is going to be good to keep the discipline up for the foreseeable.

Without trawling through the thread is there a consensus about online learning programs and if they’re worth it?
I see Fender Play gets slammed in reviews and GuitarTricks seeming to be well regarded.
Just wondering if it’s a good compliment to the one to one lessons I’m having online with Bob.
At $90/hr he’s pretty pricy but seemingly in the same ballpark price as teachers in London. I’m only having a lesson with Bob once every 2 weeks for the time being.

Can confirm the Hialeah Yellow is way nicer in the flesh as well.

So I’m not a fan of nickel covers anyway so not something I’ll worry about.
I tried the Player Plus which has the nickel cover, bugged me a bit.
I wouldn’t mind eventually swapping out the pickguard for an aged pearl as the current guard isn’t a great match for the other plastic parts.

I’ll take a proper pic at some point but the size difference is wild. Fingerboard about 6mm wider at the nut.

My rationale was ‘both guitars are really nice, BUT, this might be the only opportunity I ever have to buy a brand new strat’.

Really chuffed with Peach Guitars in Colchester’ service. Were really relaxed about my trying stuff yesterday, tech had stepped out while I was there so they gave it a full once over yesterday afternoon and delivered it to my workshop first thing this morning.
Price also included a follow-up dial-in later on if required :)
