Guitarmageddon Episode 9 - The Bucket
After practicing The Bucket a few times John has a wee moan about his sore fingers. He shows two of them to Susan.
Then he decides that there is to be no novelty nonsense.
Susan feels there should be more mellow lighting before declaring her amp is on fire. Might be the reason why her guitar is not working.
It's time for us to get our distortion on and crack out a couple of perfect verses!
The lighting gets mentioned again as Susan complains it's too bright. The lights get switched off, much to Jenn's surprise.
Susan reveals that she finds it more natural to stay on the G.
It's time to learn the chorus.
OH MY BOTTOM!
John breaks a string, what a proper rock star.
John is punintentionally funny Squire. Then he goes to the loo.
Susan is left alone in the room and, just the same as when John was left alone in the room, she starts to whistle. There's a pattern emerging here.
A little bit of guitar swapping action happens.
Adam returns and reveals his secret occupied awkward whistling technique.
There's a bit of house selling chat before Susan hits herself in the face with her guitar.
The some seat swapping then some filthy chat.
We sound great! But Susan wants to know what the actual song we're playing sounds like.
Adam can't help but stand while rocking out, he does enjoy a good stand.
Sweet Home Alabama, WOO!
There ain't no lyrics. It died!
John calls Susan a monkey nob, which makes her think of Monkey Wrench so Adam starts playing Everlong.
Tune down? F**k it.
Bit of a tencaious D meddly here, Tribute, Wonder Boy, F**k Her Gently, Kielbasa.
SUSAN SINGS! Moon River. She wants to sing more.
Hell freezes over as John agrees to play PInk Floyd or Neil Young so Susan can sing along, we settle on Wonderwall but Susan decides it's too low.
E G? G E? EG? Egg? E C G? E C G C? AC/DC? John and Adam play the same AC/DC riff simultaneously.
The first Guitarmageddon night out ends in failure.
Raucous Bucket.
We take it to the the Matthews bridge.
How good was that!? It was bang on! BRAW!
Susan mentions her septic piercing.
Party time next door, do the three wee dafties need backing?
Everybody knows bi Susan.
Bye Susan, Bye...Adam.
Guitarmageddon Episode 10 - We're Back
After a few weeks off, for various reasons, we're back! Only now we're out of the studio.
This week we're in Susan's new flat. We meet her son, Lewis and he gets in on the guitar playing action.
The sound quality isn't great, I think we're sitting too far apart, but it's not unlistenable.
We catch up with what's new while playing some old favourites.
Here's hoping next week sounds better!

Guitarmageddon Episode 8 - Woop De Doo
There's good news and bad news, the bad news is there's not going to be a podcast recording next week.
The good news is there was so much stuff recorded this week that we're going to split it over two weeks!
So, we kick off episode 8 with some chat from new daddy Addy. That turns into music chat and Adam drops the pun "take your pick". Adam's decided to chill out from being in bands for a while, apparently rocking out for 1 guy and an awkward silence isn't really worth it.
First song of the night, sort of, Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin.
Lynn makes a cameo appearance and delivers us two cups each while chatting about the choir, which gets Adam a little bit over excited.
Susan's old @rse gets a seat then she gives podcast land directions to her new flat on posh sounding Bertram Street. But then she gets interrupted when Jimmy phones and gives him the house selling blues.
The chat turns to gigs and Hells Belles, Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol and Eminem all get a mention.
Susan takes exception to John's face and then she forgets how to play the bass leading to John making a bold claim.
Susan gets a new catchphrase to underpin the fact this is The F**king Susan Show.
Adam's catchphrase gets a mention.
We try and go back to Whole Lotta Love.
Mrs Drummers-mum gets a mention as we think about getting a drummer, but the drummer has to be 16 or 56 to stick with the pattern.
Susan gets in some baby chat with Adam and tells us about the time she was actually starving, which might have been insulting to the Biafrans.
Adam gets invited to Susan's flat warming party, John does not.
Where can the BGT shadow theatre people go next? There's only one logical place really.
We try once more to go back to Whole Lotta Love.
Every Rose Has It's Thorn gets trotted out as a warm up exercise. Then some Barry White Style easy listening gets us in the mood. But it doesn't work so we rock it up a bit.
We actually start playing music now, bit of Fans by Kings of Leon.
The playing makes Adam happy but gives Susan callouses, then she creates a sound which is not a good sound as she's feeling a bit like the village idiot with the bass. She had earlier that day suffered a 3pm panic so flat chat rolls around again and we discuss Shawlands nights out.
Remember when Susan knew all the notes? Well not any more, however it's not long before the penny drops. We feel a bit intimidated by Adams musical knowledge, not his stature, as he can't help but be the teacher.
A bit of phone chat leads to discussions about cracks and Susan makes a face as there are innuendos galore.
We play a little bit more Fans.
Susan complains because she wanted to use her thumb but was told not to.
Adam tries adding a bit of bass drum but it sounds like keich, or, as Adam puts it, "a tadger backwards". This leads Susan and John to invent a new DJ - MC super group "Bangin' n Shytee".
Susan lets us know that she "do have got rhythm" and John suffers a feedback fail.
We play a bit more Fan.
Do we want to do Bob Dylan?

Guitarmageddon Best Of Episode
There was no podcast recording this week as a certain Mr Adam Millar became a father!
Understandably he was a little too pre-occupied with other matters, we offer him massive congratulations, well done Adam (and Mrs Adam).
Instead of having no podcast this week we decided to do a little best of. It's not very long but hopefully it has plenty of giggles.
Enjoy.

Guitarmageddon BONUS EPISODE! Guitarmageddon On The Road!
This week (and maybe only this week or maybe not, who knows?) there is a bonus episode!
This bonus episode is a behind the scenes look at what happens away from the studio on the car journey home. Or at least the part of the car journey up until the point John is dropped off. Who knows what happens when Susan and Adam are alone in the car together?
Neil Young and Pink Floyd is my guess.
Enjoy, and as always, any feedback would be most welcome.

Guitarmageddon Episode 7 - See You Next Tuesday
Lots of goings on in Episode 7, including the announcement of a bonus podcast this week and Neil Young raises his ugly head as per usual. Also, we'd quite like a singer on the team.
Susan starts off the podcast by asking D? D? D? D? Then we find out she's well hung but also electrocuted. Something is dodgy as feck and she has a bit of trouble finding her hole. She's sitting on the amp this week as it's higher than the seat and she has a sore back, at least that's her excuse for sitting like a "dafty dug". When it comes to plugging in to the amp is Adam brave enough? She informs her son that "they" all have teeth and then says something outrageous. OH MY GOD! She takes a trip to the bass department and informs us that the bargain hunter's underhanded tricks failed to work. Once she's plugged in she find the G(spot) with a good finger action and the right pitch. She wonders if we're allowed profanity on the podcast and then says See You Next Tuesday! She loves the bass as the no strumming makes it so easy. Displaying her similarity to Brick Tamland, she announces I love Train. Offering face value plus an extra tenner doesn't work. She asks the odd question, are there any Welsh people on the podcast? KEN! She boldly announces that we can play anything by Oasis and tells John buckin' bronco? Buckin' halfwit! She tells John not to bite her and she has 88 emails however she does not have naked friends. She decides that she's going to kill the wee f**kers next door! She needs a bass to take home and she makes a proper scary bass player face. She tells John to bring his face closer so she can smack it then asks Alice? Who the f**k is Alice? Remember, it's one thinger, one thong. Adam helps her to learn the bass notes, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, H...wait...H!? She helps Adam out by inventing a cure for his cold. She's supposed to correct 'im, wrecked 'im? It nearly killed 'im! She develops a bad case of droppsy and drops her phone. Her foot tapping gets a bit out of control and makes an interesting spectacle. She claims that she would be a session guitarist if it wasn't for John putting her off. It might have got her closer to Dave Grohl whose face she'd like to suck off. Adam teaches her the best way to finger her bass which leads to a mention of delicate gusset typing. The lesson's dragging on as she gets her yawn on. Her heartbeat becomes slightly irregular, almost bluesy. Say goodbye Susan.
John let's Susan know that there's no liquids allowed on the amp as she sits on it. He then points out that the bass has a broken hole. He advises Adam that if he's having trouble getting it in he needs to get his bass on the edge of a cliff. He gets left alone for a second so he whistles. He asks Susan if she can get her leg up then tells her to stop acting like a dick and answer him. He asks her if it's too high and if she wants this one, but she says it's too hard, making her feel like Goldilocks. He accuses her of being a loser for having not seen Spinal Tap. He answers Adam's question of how many songs can we play, with the answer, all of them. But he does admit that Bruno Mars knows music. He warns Susan that Sterephonics fans are all neds and plays some accidental Oasis though his pinky doesn't know where it's going. He giggles like a girl when Susan prods his fat bits. Though she has banned his ukulele as she hates it. He oddly declares that children love bushes. He insists that Adam plays The Boxer, go Adam, play it! Go! Adam! PLAY IT! GO! GO! GO! He notices that the noisy boys next door are totally Slipknotting it up, requests some guitar hitting songs and picks on Susan. Oddly enough he then gets a bass to the face but Jenn makes him laugh. He sits out of learning Ever Long and discovers that he is the windiest.
Adam predicts an extended bass solo. After mastering the first song he wonders what else we can play. He announces we're not to worry as it's going back in. He points out that Jake Bugg is a wee acoustic guy before being upset by him. He thinks that I'm a bitch is a bit ironic and how you strum makes all the difference. He then ponders if we could do a gig or an open mic night. The nutter. He then sings, well sort of. He tells Susan that she has to press it harder, but he's talking about The Punisher. He informs she can get a bass for buttons, however buttons aren't cheap. We discover that he belongs to A minor, or was that, he belongs to a miner? He gets the sad news that he is not Phil Lynott and claims that a noise on one song was the highlight of Art Garfunkel's career. He claims the last song he listened to was World on a String, WTF is that? He scans Susan's iPod in landscape mode like some kind of troglodyte before being blinded by snotters. He gets the title The Guitar Man before claiming he can feel the change happening. He points out that Everybody
Always Does Guitar before John claims that Elvis Aaron Died God Bless Elvis. He then spots Space Raider Jams through the door before finally saying RIGHT GUYS! He has just enough oxygen to breathe and he's going to sneeze! False alarm. He's a wee jobby.

Guitarmageddon Episode 6 Should've Rugby Tackled That B@st@rd
There's an extended setting up period this week as we try and figure out if we can use the sound desk to record straight to the laptop.
During the setting up we discover that Susan is shattered as she was at a wedding the night before.
Adam asks what key and Susan doesn't know what he's talking about.
Susan chooses a seat away from John to reduce the temptation of smacking him. The threat of a belt in the dial gets met with a bass up the jacksie.
Susan's strap on is too tight (childish giggling).
What makes your teeth rattle? It's not fellating vibrators.
DJs these days eh? Rubbish.
What was that Susan? AC/D what?
A wee lie does no harm now and again.
Adam buys everything Neil Young related ever.
John is not a sound technician but Susan is jamming with the band.
Hans makes a little cameo appearance and after turning the heater off we decide that a wee Han Solo can keep you warm.
Adam is surprised when he finds out the heater is hot and Susan is too scared to touch the plug.
John puts his camp voice on but pushing him over will get you an over reaction.
Susan's had no breakfast, she's had no lunch, she's had no sausage at all today.
MICROPHONE SWITCH!
Adam gets his banjos and his ukuleles mixed up and he didn't buy a ukulele with his birthday money, because he likes wood, dark wood.
Susan needs a hard one but she's not making a face like that!
Cheerio and good luck to my wee pal Gina. She had the honour of making the request this week. After having a Rolling Stones party she decided on either Brown Sugar or Paint it Black.
Adam stops John playing the song to hear him play him the song.
Adam opens the door and we hear a devil laugh from outside.
The bloody bugger capo causes issues.
1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3-4.
Tune up!
I'm picking up good vibrations...not!
What connects Kashmir, The Simpsons and Coronation Street?
We get to the fancy part and it throws Susan.
The world needs to know, John was right!
Adam and John share a very poor quality high five.
We all wonder what goes on inside Susan's head.
Practice practice practice.
Susan gets her hammer on!
RIGHT GUYS! 1 2 3 4! HERE COMES THE BRIDE!
26? Wee wido!
How do you work out which one is left?
A French teachers teaches young Susan how to swear in French.
Adam actually makes a scary axe murderer face.
Surprise sex!
Join in when you're ready sunshine.
Susan had to be held down by 6 people. Do not believe her when she says she is calm.
Sometimes it's hard to be a wumman.
Susan rues not rugby tackling that b@st@rd.
Susan does not want a scrunchie and don't try and get her into a onesie!
The care in the community concert is over, get back on the sunshine bus.
Do you find it easier to use your fingers?
Adam reveals the worst George Harrison song ever. Though you can't really tell The Beatles how to write a song.
WOO HOO! Susan does it herself!
Could you play guitar with your teeth?
1 dude plays duelling banjos by himself and another plays his by "air tap".
John'll be on Jools Holland in a couple of weeks.
We sound pretty decent. For a change.
Next weeks song?
Fleetwood Mac
Rihanna
Lady Gaga
Basement Jaxx
Whitesnake
Tenacious D
Led Zeppelin
Expensive guitars are good, obviously.
Is that a wee leather plectrum you've left on the seat?
We're all about the wee chaps and the wee guys.
MICROPHONE SWITCH!
Packing up time we discover that thinking is dangerous, Susan was concentrating, and her sound desk smells like a charity shop.
BYE SUSAN!

Guitarmageddon - Episode 5 - Sonfords And Mum
John's ukulele makes a special appearance this week as we try and play some Mummford and Sons without a banjo. We're playing The Cave as it was requested by, our very own Mel, Emma Hazzard.
During the set up we discover that Susan is so aggressive, it's probably the Santa coat she's got.
Come As You Are and Ironman get the ukulele treatment before Adam has a go.
Susan's car gets a few mentions, she loses her iPod under it, talks about a phantom boob feeling technique while driving 50mph in it, and dries her bra from the aerial of it.
John reveals The Hazzard's secret and Susie Webster becomes Suzi Quatro - 1 thinger 1 thong.
Susan finds the perfect fit and it's long and heavy.
The old saying "lefty loosey righty tighty" makes an appearance followed by the new saying "not at the same time yah clown".
Adam somehow manages to hit a high F while Susan strums the wrong string, which is a bit harsh.
All of this leads, unsurprisingly, to the discovery of Susan's Innuendo Tourette's.
A bit of good news now as we discover that Susan's lovely dog, Blue, doesn't have cancer.
Susan absolutely nails it with her Hot Water Blues. John doesn't with his pretentious twat story.
We discover that Susan has been spoiled by Disney World and no other theme park will do, not even the flumes at The Magnum Centre featuring the teenager with bikini removing skills, which must actually kill your fingers.
Susan teaches John how to play bass then we find out that bass players and drummers are frequently in tune with each others rhythms.
Susan's aggressiveness could be why she's an elastic band bully.
Susan rides a chicken to Italy via East Kilbride, Heathrow and Basle to become a nun in training.
Awesome miming skills lead to talk of shakers and triangles.
Things take a sensual turn in Guitarmageddon After Dark, ideal for some Steel Panther.
Believe it or not, this week, some music was played! And on that bombshell...

A bit of good news now as we discover that Susan's lovely dog, Blue, doesn't have cancer.
Susan absolutely nails it with her Hot Water Blues. John doesn't with his pretentious twat story.
We discover that Susan has been spoiled by Disney World and no other theme park will do, not even the flumes at The Magnum Centre featuring the teenager with bikini removing skills, which must actually kill your fingers.
Susan teaches John how to play bass then we find out that bass players and drummers are frequently in tune with each others rhythms.
Susan's aggressiveness could be why she's an elastic band bully.
Susan rides a chicken to Italy via East Kilbride, Heathrow and Basle to become a nun in training.

Guitarmageddon Episode 4 Acoustic Fart
After a bit of time setting up we discover that not much practice went on this week, as per usual.
Susan gets confused looking in a mirror.
Adam's arse melts and he doesn't like a hard one. However, though he is pretty good at the rock overbite, he's too wee for a big fart.
Susan says hello to the people of the internet and John was right.
Susan also enjoys playing in the house and giving away sandwiches that aren't hers.
Vajazzling your sausage is a step too far though.
Adam almost dies then almost vomits after seeing the killing of George the cyst.
Screaming goats have us feeling a bit silly then we discover who's tickling camels.
Susan gets thrown out of a pound shop and we consider opening a five pound shop.
10p crisps are 15p, or are they?
Susan shows her thinking face and we decide that Taylor Swift is a dirty.

Guitarmageddon Episode 3 - Boowalla
So here we are with episode three. We're back up to the full compliment of team members and we're cooking with gas.
The sound quality of this weeks podcast isn't great but it's not too bad (location issue). The episode is about 40 minutes long.
Here's a run down of this weeks topics:
Falling off the Boaby (and hurting your coccyx)
Bucking bronco (and the ra-ra skirt)
Cocoon (2 out of 3 Guitarmagedoners understand)
All the way to 11 (by accident, ouch)
Page Turning Bitch (Hey, it's a living)
Too much of "that" (and "this" and "the other")
Murder is very serious (and is treated as such)
Camp Batman (not an awesome holiday resort)
Sitting on my chorus (damn hard wooden chairs)
John Bon Jovi haircut (for the ladies)
What's this bridge? (what's wrong with verse chorus verse chorus?)
Wizard of Oz (the prequel)
Jeremy (not a funny story)
I was a railway child (until I had my teeth filed)
Almost a whole song (Adam is so proud)
Tuneless jakies (a new career?)
Marty Schwarz (sad and happy chords)
Little bit of piano (just to be different)
Here's a list of the songs we murdered (even if only for a second):
Click the links to be taken to the tabs or chords for each song on ultimate-guitar.com
(I've linked to the highest rated version of each song, there are normallly other versions available too)
Oasis: Stand By me
Poison: Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Erasure: A Little Respect
Pearl Jam: Better Man
Travis: Sing and Why Does It Always Rain On Me
Shirehorses: Why Is It Always DairyLea (As it's the same tune as Why Does It Always Rain On Me, I've linked to the lyrics instead)
Bobby Vinton: Blue Moon
Bad Company: Feel Like Making Love
Nirvana: Come As You Are

Guitarmageddon Episode 2
We're a man down this week as Susan has called in sick with a serious case of "Wine Flu". That's what happens when you go out two nights in a row.
Adam and I struggled manfully (some might say heroically) on without her however. As a direct result, this weeks podcast has an upturn in actual guitar playing but a downturn in downright bonkers stories.
This week the musical offerings include, The Verve, Poison, a tiny bit of George Harrison, Pearl Jam, The Blues, Scales and, as flipping always, Neil Young.
Enjoy.

First full episode
Had a go at editing and uploading a podcast. It's just over half an hour of chat and (badly played) music. Let me know if it's any good please.
