Nice job dude. Figures you would angle your crotch at the camera :p

Just saw this.
Next time I'll do it in short shorts to put ALL the balls on display.



Thanks for the comments fellas - it's a little imposing putting something out there amongst so many good players.

Got a serious blister on my thumb - it's been a LONG time since I've done any serious plucking. Those who play this one (the way Mark does) will know how much the thumb gets used on the 1st / 2nd strings in the climax of the solo.

Hope the vid provided a good demo of yet another face of the legendary Silhouette.

I love that guitar to death.......... if you don't have one, get one.

Great playing dude!

I love Knopfler ... big fan of all of his stuff. Currently have "The Ragpickers Dream" in heavy rotation, what a great disc.

Thanks Beej.

Yep MK is awesome, such great feel and all of his music is excellent.

Sultans of Swing is the song responsible for me becoming obsessed with the guitar as a kid.

As a 4 or 5 yr old, when they released the first album, I first heard it on my dad's sytem - he'd just bought the cassette.

I remember they had some friends over, and he got them in - telling them to listen to the "Magic Guitar". As a kid, I didn't realise he meant "excellent / cool / great" etc etc etc.

To me, he meant a MAGIC guitar.

My oldies have pics of me asleep on the lounge with headphones on listening to it - apparently I used to live in that room after I heard MK.

It wasn't until a fair while later that I got a guitar - they did take me to a teacher as a 5 yr old, but he told them to wait until my hands got bigger. :(

Whilst that song is responsible for the initial obsession, EBMM guitars are responsible for re-igniting it (Nov 2006) after 10+ years of not playing at all.

And the Silo is my #1.
