OK First up is our very own Danny Mitchell playing backing on this months chosen song - Almost Like A Song. Considering that Danny's GFI has been sitting under his bed for the best part of a year and he took it out, re-strung it and put this together in a couple of days, it is a tribute to Danny's talents how good this is.

Really nice Danny. Hate the song though. Thank you were doing backup to keep it interesting! I must try a year of that ‘under the bed practice’ myself...
And someone has to point out- I think he may have used a fuzz box in the solo!
Cheers

Cheers gents, I wouldn't recommend the time off, approach though Calum, this was absolutely cobbled together and yes, that's yer actual fuzz!

Danny strikes again, well done serf Danny. I have tried wading through the swamp of technology and I have drowned. I dont have a clue how to even get involved in this and it makes me feel quite inadequate. I'm going to have to sit in my wee shed and play with myself.

Well that's put a picture into my head I think will need a lot of mind gel to scrub out. Think it's going to have to be 3 to 4 verses of happy birthday to tackle that one Donny

You'll just need to upgrade that Nokia to one of these new fangled modern devices. Would be great to have you involved.

I'm sorry Geoff, I meant play by myself. I must check them before I submit them. Donny

Okay Dokey. Here is my version of Almost Like a Song, though in my case it should probably be titled Almost a Song. I could have taken a bit longer over it but I'm still pretty exhausted after my recent spell of illness, so decided just to go for it.

I stuck some 6 string guitar on the backing track to give my new Spear LP, which I bought at the auction Arcada highlighted recently, an airing.

"If it sounds good, it is good" Beeuutifool, well done Geoff, that sounded light, tasteful, well played, well done that man. Donny.

Magic, Geoff, thoroughly enjoyed that! Great to see you back, 'on the job' so to speak. I also really liked the 6 string addition, too, tasty licks abound.
Thanks for taking the time for all of this.

Great stuff guys
