      Really, I never imagined my playing , with no lessons or ability to race through scales on the guitar neck would be met with such positive reactions .😊🖖💥

    Nice portable set-up! I had my eyes on a used Gary Levinson Blade California that was on a local music shops website but when I got to the shop to check it out there was a massive chunk of wood missing to of the back of the neck, I really wanted that guitar as well!

    A great rundown of a master player's set up. Down to the plectrum. Waiting for a tour schedule for the U.S.A. (Unstable State of America) bes to Mark Allen. Honored to share a name with you.

      Thank You,
      As To my education,
      I have 5, O levels and a City and Guilds certificate in catering , though I left college in my second year when I questioned the ethics of eating factory farmed meat and also started to grow my hair long , which prompted the reply,
      Oh well you can wear a dress then !
      I left soon after to pursue my dream of being a guitarist in a rock band.
      The rest as they say is history 🖖

    Well explained without a doubt and we all understand that anyone don't even need many devices to obtain sound from dry to spatial with high quality.
    Quite a good film explaining the material used to make a good buskin on the street for electric guitar.
    Well played Mark Allen and Bob Fordham's Artfrob, well played.

    Hi, Thanks for all the great comments.
    Would you know it, my Mg-300 started playing up not long after this , not complaining s it's given good service.
    I've replaced it with the NUX-Mg 400 .

      You were fantastic in Upton Mark, dropped a few bob in your bag caught red house and I asked for more and you obliged with some slow blues.
      Keep believing and playing. When are you in South Wales next or gigging?

    ArtFrob, Nice to see you back on the streets mate. This is great when you can give someone so much exposure on the airwaves. You could most probably make me Famous again if I was 40yrs younger. Keep up the good work mate, regards Gib
