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...

After a bit of time setting up we discover that not much practice went on this week, as per usual.

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.

Susan gets thrown out of a pound shop and we consider opening a five pound shop.

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.
