I’ve read to soak strings in methylated spirits. The US calls that something else*.
Not sure if it would work on the bronze strings on my ABG.
* Denatured alcohol?
Sweet...

If it were in the states and half the price I'd be all over it.

Thanks man, it's a challenge! It took me a long, long time to work up and I had my doubts it would ever make it into the set.
IMO, doing it note for note would only be 'note-iced' by a JAE nut and even then, at that tempo, if a note was missed,the only way the crowd would notice is by the expression on yer face. Nice job!

I don't have it yet. Nailing it like that gets my complete respect.
A White II! Cool! Woulda been nice if they'da turned the bass man's mic on.
And the bass up, or EQ'd it better. But yeah, that was so dumb. Wonder if he had it in the monitors?
One of my faves by them.
always thought this guy missed his calling without a Bird..

Denatured alcohol is Ethanol with poison in it.
You guys have an awe inspiring ability to grasp a concept

'70s Glam.......My first love. These guys, along with Slade, Bowie, T-Rex, The Sweet......Alice Cooper and Kiss, they were my influences and what I thought Rock Stars should look like.
Worked out ok.

Apparently! I never got to see any of the glam bands live. Hopefully some day I'll catch one of your shows!
Alice Cooper is still touring and Kiss is on their "final" tour.
Not that there is anything wrong with the Nasty Habits.

Looking a little coy there.
Didn't realize Alice was coming here. Ticket prices aren't horrible except up close. Hmmm...
Alice is now 70ish and he still rocks a great show.
And Alice's band are no slouches. Warning - bird content.
