A bit "secular" though.... any disapproving looks from the clergy?

Post by: tomjackson on January 28, 2012, 10:40:00 AM: Yes I should really have stayed clear of those flattened 5ths :twisted:

The church is now owned by a heritage group so it's no longer a place of worship, the clergy have all gone.
It's funny, whenever I'm forced in church for weddings etc I always daydream about playing the guitar and making use of all that acoustic porential, so it was really nice to fulfill that particular daydream!

They very kindly just let us use it. We did some other music that they said they might use on their website or for some promotional stuff....

Post by: Ian Price on January 28, 2012, 03:53:02 PM: Nice one! I love that tone.

1 dislike on the vid though. Obviously somebody thought their church was being desecrated.

EDIT - just read that the church is no longer used for worship.

Though the oppertunity was there to get the fella hanging round on one of the bells, and kick out some AC/DC... That would have been awesome :)

I like to think that someone clicked on it by mistake.

Post by: tomjackson on January 29, 2012, 09:09:11 AM: Thanks for the nice comments folks :D

Sorry Huw! It was a last minute rush job to get there after work, it did cross my mind when I was there that you might be in the vicinity. I tried some loud Philip Sayce licks to attract your attention but it probably sounded more like a drunken busker next to the church!

Not too fussed about the dislike comment, that's what YT is for, liking or disliking videos! Things generally average out over the life of a video. No point in posting things If you expect all good comments.
