As of January 2018 the playing of high harmonics will not be allowed anymore. This was decided to not compete with other instruments that cover this range.

Also the lowest tuning allowed for guitar will be D standard, no matter the number of strings.

And any guitarist who dares break this commandment will be forced, by law, to restring all his guitars using only top E strings.

Also known as Yorkshire tuning... "Eeee". It's what they use for Humber delta blues. "I woke up in t'morning, and my baby had done gone out to get some parkin. Grand.".

Other famous Yorkshire songs are the cover of The Doors "People are strange" as "Nowt s'queer as t'folk". And The Doors "Hello" as "Now then".

(These jokes work best if you spent at least half your life in God's own county, as I've been blessed with, aye.)

There is so much debate over the best bass for metal. But the greatest of the unanswered musical questions is what is better for prog rock, capes or kimonos?

Alex Lifeson now looks like Han Solo.

Neil Peart is the drummer in cantina scene band (uncredited, in heavy costume). Obviously the music in that scene was in several parts called IV: Solo enters and was followed by other elements as V: Solo shoots the bad guy, VI: Hey, we're going to carrying on playing here and VII: Ok, no need to be rough with us, we're leaving. Parts I-III were written later
