Hi everyone

Me and Suzie have run the guitar society since October 2006. It is a bit like UR in it's atmosphere. Luckily not a Smack character though

As long as it is guitar related we encourage all styles. There are no egos there just like minded people who love drinking and Guitar!

Anyway it was turn to do a set. Everyone has seen my usual stuff so I decided to do some different stuff.

Yes!! It has been hugely helpful!

I am just loving this new jazz me:D . My heart hasn't been in metal/rock for many years as a performer (I love teaching it though) so this is just so much fun to play and a great release from Classical Guitar.

Rob, in the other thread you said about posting the GT collumn...please do as I think some of the US guys don't have GT so easily available!

Also Rob why not come down sometime to the society. I will pm you!

yeah GT is really good at the moment i hadnt picked up an issue since the one with "lets dance". they got a lot of good stuff at the moment and even better coming up. Next month, Robben Ford, Johny Hilland, Albert King, Django Reinhardt, Angus Young and Son House, im very excited

thanks for the invite, i really should visit london again sometime, defineatly if it involves guitars, id probably get lost along the way though LOL

P.S. GT have some kind of online database coming together, im going to check it out when i get a chance, ill let everyone know what its like...

I always liked the quote from CC DeVille: "If you can't do it right, do it anyway."

Very nice Matt! I especially enjoyed the Flamenco inspired piece.

I must say, I enjoy hearing what Matt has to offer, makes me wish I'd lived closer so I pop in and see what this Guitar Society is like lol

problem with that is, is not only is it too far away

but also i never come uninvited!

Well, same goes for Rob. If you fancy coming along one Sunday (It is the last Sunday of every month) you are both more than welcome to stay in the spare room and come and meet all the members!

In Pieman language...that was a formal invite!

Thank you Nicole.(a reward was pmed for that LOL)

Django Reinhardt

I just found this and wanted to share it.

There are loads of close ups showing the legendary 2 fingered left hand in action. FABULOUS STUFF! This man sits next to Randy in my opinion

Very, very excellent Matt! I like the hollow body a lot and your nylon string sounded great. Was the audio of these clips recorded separate or with just the camera mic?

Simon I have had many weird avante garde jams too where literally anything goes; so jamming with you would be great!

It was the mic on the camera but the Classical has a modified pt to it. Very discreetly it has a pick up inside and the lead often cannot be seen when playing live.

Also it doesn't lose any of it's character of being a Classical when amplified.

Thanks Mike. I absolutely love the Gretsch sound!
