I've found the next level shit!

Clearly the idea is that if you do enough of the latter you don't need to waste time fucking about doing the former. See also: golf.

What happens when you set it on to "scat mode"?

Oh, about learning the guitar thingy.

Should have started on a basic acoustic and ramped up to the electric later on because it's a lot more forgiving on the fingers and bum notes.

^ I don't do 'bum notes'!

(just turn the gain up and play power chords...)

That's the advanced shit, I'm nowhere near that level.

You sound like shit

^ fuk me, you're a genius Baldrick, that's my problem right there - I've left me guitar in scat mode. Now, where's the switch???

I've always liked the Cranberries, for obvious reasons...






There really is only one Rock 'n Roll geetar...

I think I've fallen in love again. Some folks claim she's rubbish, but I'd let her into the Shifters if Drummer Slaps and LT would accept a 3rd one...

Blimey O Reiley, we might need 4 drummers, and this one's a Cohen... Still, if it was good enough for '66 and '03 then it's good enough for the Shifters!!!

Would it be wrong to add a 5th?

Drumming is where it's at; I never knew. Who wants to buy a 2nd hand geetar?

Korea and drummers, it's topical.

We'll be needing a bigger stage.

WOW, wow, and wow...

21 year old Thai.

Scat used to be a good thing when Ella Fitzgerald let it out...

Then the Yermans took it to another level...

And Rural Surin...

Now, the Koreans...

^ thanks, Neo - I'm still totally shite...


So, the missus arrives back yesterday with her 37kgs of luggage and the laptop that I gave her 20,000 baht to buy. But, she didn't bother bringing back any of the stuff I asked her to, including my 6kg practice amp - par for the course, I suppose.

This month, as per usual, I'm fuked for cash (just sent 47,000 baht to Thailand to pay various bills...), but WTF, I've had enough of playing through the little VOX amplug and headphones; total bollox that is.

So, I looked at various cheap, very cheap..., multieffects pedals which I can plug into my Beats Pill to get a nice sound. OK, they are quite cheap and quite crap, but a lot better than my amplug!!!

I just ordered one of these:



It has loads of amps and pedals and a drum machine, etc, but the things I like about it particularly are:

- includes the power supply (so I don't have to faff around buying a compatible one).
- has decent VOX AC30, Fender TWIN Deluxe and Marshall JCM 800) amp versions.
- has a nice compressor.
- has some decent distortions including: EH Big Muff, Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, BOSS DS-1 and a few Digitech ones.
- has a Fender spring reverb.
- aux in.
- headphone out.
- silly little drum machine, might be fun.
- loads of other stuff.

She will complain when it arrives, but:

Should be good mate... plenty of stuff on there to help you define the Shifters sound. Too soon to start booking venues..?

The drum machine on it should be very useful... certainly not going to get far without playing along to drums. There's a very good Youtube channel that has set drum patterns very good for having a strum to..

Too many fookin buttons and switches
Less is more mate just get a compressor and an amp with overdrive.

Like trying to fly a fooking jetliner...Heh...

I have one already in Thailand, so I don't wanna just get another (although that HTR1 head is on sale, one day only, at 208,000 won). The digitech will be an amp for now then come together with me Randell later.
