Been thinking about this, put another way - if you had this really great story to tell, and wanted as many people to hear it as possible, would you clothe it in the short-hand of the times, to maximise your audience ?

Sorry, I'm a drummer. I don't understand the creative aspects.

I am a plank-spanker myself.

I'm a mixolydian mode kinda guy, with some phrygian undertones. Throw in some pentatonics and you're laughing.

[/pretentious muso ramblings, only uttered to try to appear knowledgeable, when in reality I'm kinda shit - even though the last gig I played was in front of 250 squealing rock chicks]

you must have a big family

Can you count to 4, or do you specialise in waltz and march ?

It's easy to play a gig in front of thousands of chicks in Norfolk, security on Bernard Matthews barns is terrible.

Fatkev must have a small beatnik style fanny-beard! Scales indeed!

What kind of plank do you spank jaize ? I've got a (partly broken) semi-acoustic, 25th anniversary edition tanglewood. They're better known for their basses to be fair, it's a green number, and there's this really comical flower drawing on the fretboard, but it was cheap, so I bought it.

I have a lovely, lovely, lovely takamine semi, a fender strat thats about 25 years old now and only comes out for gigs and a Martin acoustic that got broke when I moved recently. I think if the insurance won't pay it will have to go to the great, big luthier in the sky. Sad really - impossible to play but a great sound. Oh, and a mandolin - so maybe it should be me with a fanny beard.

*Note to self: Cello not to be mentioned*

Semis are great aren't they ? When you plug them in, they distort like a child out of wedlock, and when you don't, you can noodle away and not offend people when you enter the 5th hour of noodling.

It's true! Even though Woppa will poke fun, I will say it - I love having a Semi!

I could play with it all day!

(although it will take the skin off your fingertips if you play with it too much.)

Aah yes, but once you get past the point of no return, you end up with pads on the ends of your fingers, which makes the pain worthwhile.

Edit : And knowing that Woppas' a drummer, if he can stop dribbling from the mouth for long enough to take the mickey out of your semi, then fair doos.

All that musical jargon, kev you must really like yngwie malmsteen.

I would take the mickey out of a semi, but I have one that's full on and I'm not sure whether I would be taking the mickey out of myself, so I'll leave it.

malmsteen - harsh!

You would get banned on sHiT for that!! Lifetime ban, and prison probably...
