The Guitar Master

Everyone, if you haven’t seen the google home page today, please LOOK NOW!

To honour the 96th birthday of the late great Les Paul himself, google have made a very attractive and interactive google doodle.

Bets. Doodle. Ever.

God damn it, why can’t I come up with decent names for stuff?

For some reason I thought it would be a great idea to piss around on my guitar for 3 minutes, record it and upload to audioboo, then put it on my blog. Here you can hear what I sound like on electric guitar when all I’ve really played for the last two years is nylon.

It’s just me in the house tonight. My wife is away on a course. I have no neighbours on either side as one side have just moved out and the other is being refurbished and has no residents yet.

Time to plug Mr Ibanez into Mrs Marshall.

If you’re interested, I’ve added a few of my spotify playlists here. You can check out what I like, or subscribe to them if you want to keep up.

I also added a collaborative playlist, purely for the purpose of letting us share music with eachother. Have fun

Playing with a little more Spanishy sounding stuff:

Another great video shot by Lloyd in 2002. Again, any ads that pop up are due to the soundtrack and you can just click on the “x” to get rid of them

As you can see, the weather above the surface was not great. But diving conditions were superb.

Edit: It seems as though EMI and or UMG have banned this video in certain countries due to it’s soundtrack. What Iv’e had to do is re-encode it without sound, and upload to youtube again. So, if you like, you can play it whilst listening to the following songs from your music library:

1. Bob Marley, Three Little Birds (up until the divers roll in)
2. Pink Floyd, Echoes (from when the divers go under)
