If you still have a clean set why are you even considering doing laundry.... That's 4 more days before you even need to think about it

I saw Midge on an acoustic tour about 6 years ago...what a voice. 


Anyway...back to topic

I am going to listen to 'When the Wild Wind Blows' by Iron Maiden and me and Millie and going to stand in the window waiting for the show.

I have a feeling we will be looking at each other with the usual look of anti-climax and "This is a bit shit" that usually occurs when the local 'Brethren' kick off in the street 70ft below us and we all get to watch the silly twats dance around shouting at each other about how hard they apparently are.

I though clean knickers was only if you're going to get hit by a bus?

Honestly, i wasn't listening to her after the age of 6 but it was something like that.

I have a feeling that this all might actually happen though because for the very first time since 1987 i can actually play the intro to Sweet Child O' Mine.

It's my Fault !

Because it's probably going to be a more eventful post than anything which is supposed to happen...........

I found the key to playing it after all these years is to keep your fingers all moving and avoid trying to form any barre or chord shape. By treating every note as a separate entity and fingering each one, one by one instead of seeing it as a 'Run' i found i was way more accurate and managed to get the swing of the piece much easier. I also realised it's far more about fingertips than i ever realised before.

If we survive the night, give that a go.

I've also found since i got the Jackson that a wide neck helps me immensely to play this and that sense of freedom for my fingers is, i think how i've managed to relax and get into the swing of it, so to speak.
