    What a feckin' weirdo! :eek:

    The instruments are cool though. I don't think they featured one but I'd like an Irish Bouzouki, cool instruments. :)

    His girlfriend was cool though. Or do I mean hot?
    I particularly like Pete Townsend's comment "when I learn to play this guitar you'll be fcuken sorry" or whatever.
    Segovia, Django Reinhard - great.
    I could have done without some of the dopey mythlogical re-enactments though :rolleyes:
    George Gruhn - the king of the vintage guit market in America - now he was a feckin' weirdo.

    No probs. I just happened to stumble across a mention of it on a guitar-related blog while trying to sort out an issue on one of my guitars. :)

    It gets better and better! :cool:
    I loved the footage from the Fender factory in the 50's. That was freakin' cool!

    10.40pm next Sunday for the last episode! :)

    Great episode. That footage inside the fender factory was deadly, a bunch of unskilled workers making instruments which fetch upwards of 60000 yoyos today! I wouldn't say no if someone handed me one though!

    Don't let Ancient1 hear you say that :p

    Good episode. BB King seems to be a really down to earth guy. Wonder what next week will be about.

    Great show last night.
    Wonder who decided to interview Iommi in a church, seemed a bit cliche or something. Or maybe that's his gaf!

    Enjoyed Gilmour particularly, the Edge's set up just made me laugh though, waaaay too much for my liking - imagine if something went wrong live, you'd be 10 minutes and 5 young Roger Mayers on stage to figure out which box was acting up!

    I think the Edge has backup for his backups... or something like that. Nobody needs that many rack effects, except if they suck and are trying to cover it up....... :rolleyes:
