Sounds good to me Nigel.

I'm not really a player, but would like to be.....I've learnt a few basic riffs from watching a few players on the "Nation", but would welcome a whole lot more!

Yep great idea Nigel. I'd be in it for sure... like triplestrings my playing is limited and why reinvent the wheel transcribing for figuring stuff out when we you have some great easily recognisable standards. One of my problems is that it's very hard to sell one's creations if you can't play them that well.

Even a grouping of say 10 standards that are easy to learn would make it so much easier for us basically non players to A: get started and B: have something in our kit to show the punters. 

The biggest shock that people get when they hear my builds is the grunty sound that comes from the little beastie. So stuff like ZZ top, Satisfaction, AC/DC - its a long way to the shop ( if you want a sausage roll), Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana, Walk This Way - Aerosmith, Cream - Sunshine of your Love, Money for Nothing - Dire Straits, Steppinwoolf - Magic Carpet ride, I Love Rock 'n' Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, “Whole Lotta Love” (Led Zeppelin, 1969).

Yes it's all about keeping it simple.

Something easy for a beginner to practice.

Roadhouse is awesome Pat. It would be great to have you contributing.

Yes Penny send in requests and it will be somewhere to send punters to kick them off.

Thanks Nigel, Roadhouse may be a bit much for a beginner, Twist and Shout is an easy one though.
