    Q5:  Your #1 ever track? For the sake of having an answer, I’ll go with He-Man Woman Hater by Extreme. I’ve been trying to play that riff (with the sextuplets and squealies) for over twenty years[1], and am coming to the conclusion that only Nuno can make it sound right – but haven’t given up yet.

    How about the intro, with the delay? :)
    Nah, it never did as much for me as the riff (or the proper solo, for that matter). I've never owned a delay unit, so have never attempted to play more than the ascending tapping lick at the end of that intro, which isn't that hard, and still sounds cool without the effect.

    @DLM Ah, I now feel really daft because for some reason, I have no idea why, I somehow assumed you were early to mid- twenties!

    Ooops! 

    But it's really weird now because I can't get my my head around the fact that you must be older.

    Hey ho.

    Must be my childish nature! :))

    I was in my early to mid twenties – when I joined the Intermusic forum!  :-j

    Shit a brick that was hard to sign up! Didn't even know I had a spam folder as nothing has ever qualified as spam before I joined here (just to give you an idea of my email the promotions from JustEat get starred as important). 

    Should this be a Sticky thread? [insert  question smiley face, not worked those out as yet] 

    Anyway, 5 Q's:

    1. Name originally used on a blues forum, variation on Eric The Social Worker who was a cartoon character I drew for Peeping Tom (Coventry student magazine).

    2. In Britain's home of the surf revival - the Black Country.

    3. Incorporate the Flinstones riff into something

    4.It's all a bit crappy.Err, apart from my tc X4 as I'm thinking of selling that and it is brilliant!

    5.No idea really but quite tempted to say Brimful of Asha ( either version) as it never grows old.

    surf revival news is pretty slow,sadly. Actually, been on holiday and not seen the tv, heard the radio or read a paper for 2 weeks and so not only no surf revival news but no news. Had we gone to war or something I reckon I would have found out somehow. I did see some dolphins though. And seals and puffins.And ate macaroni pies.

    Err, we haven't gone to war, have we?

    No war as yet, but we're working  on it. Macaroni Pies sound nice though, perhaps we can use them to avert future wars?

    My name is Cos. I'm 50 this year and expecting a Tele from my wife and son to mark the occasion or else they'll be made homeless!
    Worked in the music industry now for 28yrs. Musically, I started playing accordion and bouzouki when I was 8 and switched rather late to guitar when I was 17 and haven't looked back.
    Q1: Where did your username come from? I'm Greek, so an easy tongue-in-cheek stereotype one to work out, plus it was my username on MR

    Q2: Where in the world/country are you? Surrey (London end)

    Q3: What's your main musical ambition? Well, now it's to continue playing live (funky function/tribute bands) as much as I can and family/working life will allow. I was lucky enough to have been pro for a year in my mid- 20s (live sessions and was in the 2nd generation of a signed band). Didn't really enjoy the experience and it helped me to decide that I didn't want to go down that route and preferred the safer 9-5 with music featuring heavily in my life as a hobby.

    Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? My customised MIM Strat. It ain't a Suhr etc but it's my workhorse.

    Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Crikey! That's a hard one but I'd have to pick Andrew Gold's "Never let her slip away" as my fave. A guitar one would be Steely Dan's "Josie".

  • My name is Dave. In 1989 I decided that my dreams of being a musician were childish and I needed to pursue things that weren't quite so selfish like loving a woman, raising 2 boys, and being a stuffy grown up, like those chaps you see in leather chairs smoking pipes. In 2011 I had accomplished all the aforementioned items so it was time for daddy to rock again! I still love the same woman, just now I feel my life is a bit better now that I am playing guitar again. I had not touched a guitar in 24 years and to be honest, I wasn't that great before, but I am enjoying making music once again.

    Q1:  Where did you username come from? I'm Dave...Just Dave

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you? Las Vegas Nevada

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition? Write music that others connect to

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? I haven't had a chance to collect much in the 2 years I have been back, but I just picked                                           up a 2013 Epi Les Paul Tribute. This guitar blows me away. Nothing can touch it at this price point.

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one? Wow, tough one there. I Can't Quit You Babe - Led Zeppelin

    Welcome @Dave_JustDave its good to have you on board.  You will probably have noticed that most of us are from the UK.  I think  (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) that you are are first American.  That deserves a wow in my opinion.

    We are a friendly bunch and whilst we may occasionally may disagree about various stuff we are all fairly committed to the guitar.  Though again try not to mention  Bigsbys to often as views are pretty polarised. 

    Well done and picking up the guitar again after such a break.  It will be good to have your perspective on things.
