Hi Michael, excellent reply! You've summed up in a few paragraphs what can take an age to get a handle on! Scales have always put me off, but the way you have explained a couple of basic ones make them understandable and easy to follow. As I'm typing this I'm thinking, ' wouldn't it be great if Michael could do something like this regularly' I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to enjoy it! Best wishes to you all,j Joh Michael use to have a tuition DVD ... there was a talk i thought of a re-run .. any chance please Michael?

Very nice, Jono! Can you tell us a bit more about it. I look forward to hearing it played. Shine On Michael Hi Michael its 2010 50'S Tribute ... made in limited numbers ..chambered body which makes it light .USA p90's , Orange drop capacitors switchcraft switch and socket all as standard. no binding and a satin finish to keep the cost down. Neck is a mid 50's neck so quite fat -which i like .. mint condition and i got it for £645.. now the p90's ... when i say nasty ..its in a good way ..they snarl IMO ... my other Les Paul - the Vintage Peter Green has humbuckers which although more powerful are smoother . completely different sound. I am already considering putting a Bigsby on it!!. got a load on this weekend but will let you all hear it soon. Jon
