I'm not sure, I don't think so. It could be due to the way I'm strumming. It plays the note, but there's absolutely no sustain>

Thats the other thing i thought it could be, try raising your action (it could be that the strings are hitting your fret board and stoping them ringing out). Keep doing it evenly on both the high and low screws untill your happy that its sustaining well enough for you. It might be a bit harder to play at first but you'll get used to it.

I find that during the winter, the cold sometimes affects my string's action and completely miffs out the note- though its never happened to all six strings at once. If fixing the action, as stuart reccomends, doesn't work, take it to a guitar shop.

Oh, the action thing seems right, but I measured the action and it seems considerably higher than most guitar books recommend (it's 0.5 cm off the board). I'll take a look at it, but I think I'll need someone who knows what they're doing to help me out.

Apparently it's a genuine attempt to take them down. Somehow I doubt The Cruiser and friends are going to be to rattled by some scat porn.

Quite funny though, when you see what they've managed so far. Fine, it's nerdy shit like overloading websites, but still...

Maybe they'll wipe each other out. Having said that, I mind in no way attacks on Scientology, ever since they got Beck.

On a more positive note I'm headed off to Berlin next week with some people in my art class (including a VERY cute girl). Steins and sausages all round!
