I'll offer the latest I have seen before opening this up to the house for others.
Last night at Celtic Connection the second half was opened by a five minute slide guitar solo, which drew very muted applause.
Musical self indulgence.

As a guitar player, the last thing I want to hear is a guitar player solo. I really don't like to hear solos of any kind! I want to hear songs - not meandering bullshit.
Is there such a thing?

Exactly.
The best line of the night came when one of the guitarists swapped to a banjo for one song and started to tune it, The fiddler said:
"You do realise that most people don't bother to tune banjos . . ."

Me making some meandering bullshit on one of my home-brewed tube amps (just for Blue Monster 65 :wink: )

Very nice, Tubes! That kind of self-indulgence I can handle. Let's see some pix of the setup.
Is there such a thing?

Very nice!
You realize, though, that if you were in the Northern Hemisphere, those tubes would be sticking straight out the top, right?
