I wonder if Toby will consider you to have been gurning at the camera with a plank of wood - SOME plank!!!

Thanks Chris and Ian for replying.
The bottle neck is somthing I haven't done before - very easy to play it out of tune as I found out!
But it was a fun one to do which I've wanted to do for a long time.

Cheers Phil

Excellent Phil - some of the runs looked difficult but you played it well with a terrific performance.

I bet the semitone prebend which is so important in this number is a bugger to hit on pitch every time, and it is played so often!

Hi Phil

Now that seems quite a demanding number with all that string bending and slide must have taken quite a bit of working out.
Really well done

[Phil McGarrick]

Thank you the two Rogers for your replies.
The string bending wasn't to bad although It's easy to be a bit out if you're not carefull.
It did take a long time to learn but having bought the tabs from Tony Clout about 2 years ago I thought I'de better give it a go.
The hardest part for me was the 2 runs at the very end so I tried to learn this first - many hours practice just on that bit. and now I can forget it
like I always do unless I keep playing it. It's all good fun

Phil
