Too bad the BBC iPlayer doesn't work if you live outside the UK  :(
I'll have to get someone to tape it for me. Do people still use videos these days?

[ToneMonkey]

Yeah.... Old people  :P

Record on windows media center (.WMV I think) then compress and send.
I am recording it anyway, let me know if you want anything

[noodleplugerine]

I'll be watching dis.

I've just set up my new BTvision to record it all. Apparently it's like Sky + but it comes down the broadband.

The standard stream is about 500Meg (for an hour long programme), so if you really want the program (DRM free) on CD or a DVD

really good watch actually, just viewed the first part.

I enjoyed it - definately looking forward to next weeks.. i imagine its all stuff the real guitar geeks amongst us already know but its still nice to see it in a documentray thats done so well

good to see wayne hendersons workshop - all those of you who claim you cant build a guitar because you dont have the tools should take note of his favorite tool!!

the man in the silly hat was a bit strange, when he introduced his girlfriend i couldnt help thinking there would be some parents somewhere who had finally got a clue as to the location of their missing daughter ;)  He sure could play the lute though!!

it will be good to see next weeks and i really hope we get some of the early electrics actually being played

[AndyR]

Yeah I enjoyed it too - and I loved the wayne henderson line when he was describing how he does it: good piece of wood, his little knife, and then "take off all the bits that don't look like a geetar..." :D

Never seen film of Django before - I'm quite tempted to tape up my little finger and ring finger for a bit, looks somewhat easier to play with just the two!!
