I can now (badly) play the main riff of Jessica by The Allman Brothers Band. The uncultured among you will know this as the Top Gear theme tune.

This pleases me.

    Yep.

    I'd actually be impressed if someone could play Jessica on a recorder, they're not renowned for their range, and the scale ascension takes a lot of range...

    Learn to play the sax solo off of the simpsons opening credit and I'll be impressed.

    I got a half decent "starting out" guitar, a fender squire strat. Holds it's tuning well, and the intonation is pretty damned good after sorting the microtuning. :D
