I'm assuming that its acceptable to just "come along" without any real gear?

I've printed this off and looked-up the 13th chords so I can pretend I already knew them.... :oops:
I gotta say, all those strange words with numbers in them make little sense to me.

I thought I'd simplify this for y'all.
A5 -> D5 ->A5 ->B5 ->D5 ->A5 ->E5. Can be played on the top two strings in the first 12 frets. So you can bring that Segovia nylon string and join right in.

You're welcome.
^this guy!!! :thumbup:

As long as you bring beer, unless you're an alcoholic or tee totaller, then it's fine to just come along.

Will bring along
MIM Jazzmaster, ex Bender
Yamaha SA-700, ex half of the forum
Katana 50 and some pedals
That Yamaha is lovely—(said a previous owner). Please look after it ;-)
I'll likely be shifting it on to cover some upcoming purchases, so this weekend may double as demo day.

Don't have anything new, but will bring my old stuff. Do have one piece that I would like feedback on as I'm looking to see if it's sell worthy, or if I just scrap for parts.
