Scaledown was great fun last high, as always. The Yamaha Twins were particularly good. Like two fighting cocks, they strutted around each other with their identical guitars, challenging, riffing, guitarguing. They both got stuck on the same note for a while. The funniest bit was the detuning section. Just like The Chefs when the guitarists tuned to the bass, and then realised one of its strings was out of tune, so they tuned to each other and realised each other was out of tune, and so on, and so on. Pitch pipes were for poncy folk guitarists and we couldn't afford a guitar tuner at first; I ended up buying a tuning fork.
Andrew and Mark got a lot of funny noises out of those guitars last night: nice solid-body sounds. They traded licks, half-started one groove before ending on another, and generally had lots of sonic frolics. After 15 funny and stimulating minutes, they crossed guitar necks in a truce.
Bless.
