@mrkb @Bridgehouse - I'm the buffoon in the red t-shirt on bass, or playing Rabs' guitar (straight into a JCM800 IIRC).
..You get to try/hear/experience a load of different amps - and some of the direct in sounds into some of the amps can be really surprising. I thought the JCM 800 was pretty good actually

Just catching up with the thread after returning home striking up the Barbie and entertaining some good friends and putting my new bottle opener to good use!
The day started off with @peteri saying to jr can i trust you, then offering one of his guitars to hold while he did something. I then took the guitar off him to check it out. A 53 LP !!
Met so many great guys today and had a really enjoyable day. Would like to thank you all for taking Finn under your wing and supporting and encouraging him. He had a great day and a real eye-opening experience for him. We will definitely be back!
Big thanks to @TTony @Bridgehouse and @poopot for making today happen and @Handsome_Chris for shining up my boy's bass!
Too many names to mention but it was a pleasure meeting you all today!
P.S. apologies to Stevie Wonder - I love you man!
Actually, more detail. When I go and look at the copyright claim thing it tells me exactly which bit is the copyright.. It says

Next time he needs to have a go on a full scale - would open up so many more tonal possibilities too - and I'll make sure I bring a few more 'choice' basses along for him to have a go on - the '64 and '74 Precisions would be worth a go at least..
Speaking as someone who bought a guitar when he was 16 but didn't play until he was 50, I really hope Jr sticks with it.
Loads of highlights some I will already have forgotten, watching @lovestrat74 s lad playing on come together, @mrkb s mick jagger dance, @peteri playing the solo to beat it, @slacker being good at everything.
Seeing all the talent and gear was brilliant, @mtb casually saying he had hand built both his lovely tweed amps, hearing @Flanging_Fred show me what my strat could sound like if I learned to play and finally letting me try a hudson broadcast, a drum lesson from mark blagdon, good looking, good singer, drummer and guitar player, your mates must hate you : )
For me the way it was organised was ideal, the rooms downstairs were fully set up, we had a complete run through of comfortably in a practice room. @mtb and @McToot and I had a quiet room to work out three rhythm parts for learning to fly.
All that for fifteen quid!!
Thoughts - my 3 tunes were all 1 take and out, it was a bit of a blink really, I would have really enjoyed a little practice time as a 'band' prior to the performance (and would have played better). Obviously that would need changing the format to more "bands" playing mini-sets rather than hot seating every tune.
I guess for the hot seat format this is only feasible towards the end of the day as people's commitments start to close off.
To be fair I also should have practiced Tush more!
Having the rehearsal time was lucky, I think that everyone I was playing with seemed to have a gap during the first set. Really helped for how to finish comfortably and everything.
