There's loads other good shit on it though, I just signed up and i'm pretty impressed.

I'd have more time for Claire Short if she'd resigned at the same time as Robin Cook instead of voting for the war and then resigning after the event.

Spot on IMHO.

Super Mario Bros is good too, I thought it was a bit boring at first, but it's pretty clever, esp. the two player gameplay.

I have just switched to Homeplugs (Ethernet over mains wiring). Cost £90 to network 3 PC's to a router. It's miles faster, dead easy to set up and it always works. I never got wireless to work reliably on all my computers, it would work for months on end, then stop working, be OK for a week, stop working. I am glad to see the back of it. If you don't need to surf on a laptop, it's worth thinking about.

Nice work guitarhero, thanks for putting the effort in to do this (great playing BTW). Congrats to all concered, that was fun !

TBH, from what I can gather, Garage Band is about as simple as it gets. It would be less hassle to watch some tutorial videos and read the manual than to try and find another application. All music applications have a learning curve, and Garage Band will be about as shallow as it gets.

I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would help you with this on the forum (i'll help as much as I can, but i've not used Garage Band)

Cheers,

Put it this way, our kids play them for an hour when they first wake up, so we get an extra hour in bed….priceless.

The geetar was a 335 into an Orange Tiny Terror, with the master volume on full, though a Marshall powerbrake and into an old Park 2×12.

I think the scale is Dorian mode, (you just play a major scale, but shift it two frets down, so if the song is in A, you play G major scale). Also probably added the 'blue' note (b5th) when required.

Here's mine….

With Backing

Guitar only

Only got to do the first 66 bars, as I could not come up with any ideas to play over the changes, and the family are sat in the dark, as the low energy lights make my guitar buzz like mad ;-).

This has been good fun! Kudos to all the submissions so far, let's have lots more!

Whats the tempo of the backing track?

Chipps, the Strat is a Fender custom shop relic. The Les Paul was bought about 10 years ago. It's obviously modelled on the Jeff Beck 'blow by blow' guitar, but it's not the JB signature one.right…off to try the Blue Jam!

Backing downloading as we speak!

Should be able to do something later this week dude (will have to be with Guitar Rig though ;-()

My Shit….(sorry about the nasty decor ;-()

Stratobiker, that rig looks fantastic!

Sound on Sound has a guitar classifieds.

Decathalon ones look cool, it head up there 2moz…thanks all!

fair enough. my tv's probably just shit then!

Might be nothing wrong with your TV, the settings have a huge effect on picture quality. Try turning off any PQ 'enhancements' and if the TV has a Cinema mode, try it (might look a bit bland at first). One of the biggest problems with comparing TV's in shops is that the same TV can look so different, depending on the settings.

There are lots of factors that affect PQ, but resolution (for most applications) is a long way down the list.

On a 32 inch TV, you won't notice any benefit from 1080p unless you are viewing from 6 inches away. Go for a HD Ready and save the cash.

Tesco had a Quad Core PC with Win 7 for £350, which looked OK, which would leave £150 for a decent monitor. Ebuyer also have some Zoomstore machines which look good value for money.

Warton, you are right about Jon Richardson, what the **** is he doing on 6music with his sycophant moron mate, who roars with fake laughter at everything Richardson says…

…I quite like Russell Howard though ;-)

Thay also create load of electromagnetic noise, so if you play a strat or telecaster ect.., you have to turn the lights out all over the house before you start playing.

They are also full of nasty stuff, so you have to leave the room for 20mins if you break one (dunno if this applies to the fanny situation though?).

Is there any way to monitor the current sales figures for the two singles?

Those prices are quite high for the root canal and cap, I think I paid c. £350 for root canal and similar for the cap.

Fostex PM0.4's (powered monitors) are quite nice for the money.

I built two identical (low spec) machines for grandparents a few years ago. One now has has AVG and the other AVAST. The Avast machine is far quicker,(the AVG machine is almost unusable). I use Avast, and like it as it does not intrude, but don't know how good the protection is.

TBH, for the kind of stuff I do, I have never had a problem with virus's. I think a decent backup strategy is much more important.

Pink Fairies – Kings of Oblivion.

I worked in Bullund (?) for a few weeks (town w/legoland). It was very quiet, but OK. A mate has worked there long term and he liked it.

Good luck, hope it works out OK!

I have a 9300, it's OK, but…
The EPG is really slow to load…I don't accept the power saving argument, my LG TV loads the EPG on powerup, in is many times faster than the Humax. Realistically I have to switch the Humax on 10mins before programming for a weeks recording.

The remote is pants, several of the most important functions are under the slidey flap and are on tiny buttons.

There is a bit of fan noise on startup, but only for a few seconds. otherwise it's quiet.

The HDMI output is pretty soft. I looked into it on the Humax forum , and the opinion appeared to be that it was best to use SCART/RGB, as the upscaling is not the best. I would have gone for the cheaper non-HDMI version if I had known.

Humax have a pretty good reputation, but as far as I can tell, the 9300 is OK, but nothing special…dunno if there is anything better out there?

40. Contracting scum.

If it were me, i'd forget about it until you wear the frets out, then look at options (either refret w/refinish or buy a Warmouth neck).

Nice one…wonder if they will actually ship it?

Yup, had this. I don't think I'll be selling again on ebay, as things are stacked too much in favor of the buyer. If you ask the buyer for feedback as funds are on hold, is it not an invitation to give -ve feedback and get the goods for free?

Personally I love the Canon's tilt and swivel display, as it's great for taking pic's of the kids. If I did not have kid's though I'd probably go for the smaller LX-3.

I hear you, that's why we called our kids Lauren and Dan ;-)
