Hi, hello, how are you?

Lots of good NRPS stuff on YouTube. Sadly, I can't seem to find the full length "Home Home On The Road" that used to be there. There's a 16 minute clip but not the whole thing.

Anyway, stay safe and enjoy the practice time. With the lockdowns we have a perfect excuse to stay home and play.
Many play better than I do. Nobody has more fun.

No Time, down for the Ride, Truth is Dead, 6 of 1...

Prety ambitious, transcribing the stunt guitar, don't forget about 17 Pine Ave!

and the NRPS Don Odell's "Legends" vids, 2 camera people hovered over Buddy a lot, you can see his Boss tone, Dunlop thumbpicks, non gauged rollers etc

My Setup

Post by Kevin Fix »

This is my setup that I use. I go to YouTube and find music or rhythm tracks to play along with. I also can Use CD rhythm tracks or any CD I like to play along with. I have my laptop connected by way of the headphone jack on laptop and then to the pre amp out/cd input on my NV112. I plug my headphones into the headphone jack on the NV112 and play until your heart is content!!! Simple setup.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your liking of the rug.I rather like it too.I bought it years ago at a car boot sale for virtually nothing.It is in mint condition.All I did was clean it down ( as you would ) with soapy water and the hosepipe and left to dry in the sun !
I have a similar one ( aquired the same way),which is used for gigging ..I can hide all leads under it from effects board etc and saves me the embarrassment of tripping up lol!

Hi Dave. I was being a bit irreverent there, it's a quote from the movie The Big Lebowsky. Still in all it's great rug.Cheers.

Not far behind you over in Leeds (It's a bit harder when you work in Finance for the Hospital).

Once this blows over we'll have to go to one of those Northern Steel meets, craft beer included.
