I've made a start but it's just not sounding right...It's a really weird thing when I try to do instrumentals...It's like trying to paint a picture...I have this vision in my mind but the parts are not coming together...I guess I'll just have to keep trying as it's such a nice instrumental piece...!!!

Yup, it sure isn't easy to write music or arrangements, but really good practice! Good luck!

I think I'm struggling with this one as my main guitar has gone away today back to Ibanez to be fixed...I'm trying to do a version on my strat but it's just not working...maybe when Isabel comes back I can get it to work...( Yes its very sad but all my guitars past and present have had names)

Just cos I have nothing better to do here's a list...

Louise Les Paul
Winona Warlock
Carly Charvel
Teresa Telecaster
Danielle Dragon

I haven't named my strat yet...If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions...In return you will receive absolutely nothing...:D

Ahhh...all good names...but I always use a girls name...In this case it could begin with an S for strat...or possibly a T for Tokai...!!! I was thinking Sarah Strat but that brings up memories of an ex so I'll steer clear of that one...!!!

But fear not...if you should win the non existent prize I'll mail it to last week when you might have cared...:)
