Me too. It's time for my annual SRV tribute set, to commemorate the anniversary this week of his untimely passing. Candidates at the moment include Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love, Lenny, Cold Shot and Scuttle Buttin'

Sadly SRV's passing was on my 15th birthday...........

 

and you'll be pleased to know, I don't know any of those songs, so you won't have to put up with my playing.........

:-S

The Strat, Sarah, is freshly strung, cleaned, and has had the neck oiled ready for you to use tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy playing it.

Sure you don't want to borrow my Jem, BJ? I would have thought floyd rose and humbuckers were essential for playing srv properly!

bigjon

It's a kind offer, Viz, but I'd need it strung with 8-38 strings

Consider it done (it already is tbh)

I offered him any of mine, ESP, Jackson, Ibanez, Charvel, but he insisted on a Stratocaster. Don't tell the rest of the Cambridge Cartel I own a guitar without a Floyd and 'buckers..........

BJ and @mike_l performing in harness, from later last night

Well done all! SRV would have been proud. Like that downwards chord sequence in the 2nd line of your solo bj, and Mike I think you indeed did surpass former whammy extravaganzas!

mike_l

@viz  ; that's what Floyds are for (BTW I'm at work and can't view the footage)

Seen the footage now, yep Whammy abuse ahoy. You got to try to out whammy me next time you're there.........

Thankfully that's the song/solo I didn't really mess up

TTony

If I'm free on Monday (ie not getting up at 0530),  I'd like to make it over again on Sunday.

Anything special planned?

mike_l

I'm planning on playing another whammytastic atonal solo

other than that no.

If you're around Saturday night there's a jam at the Emperor on Hills road
