Now that just showing off ha-ha! Won't catch me doing that I can assure you! For the sake of educating a noob, would anyone be willing to give me a break down of the list of individual components shown in these photos?

Yeah, GnR songs are usually tricky - always lots of little fiddly twiddly bits to remember! I used to try playing with a slide, but never got the hang of it (especially damping the strings you don't want to ring out). I just listened to Still of the Night. Long time since I heard it. That is a hell of a riff! I might have a go if I can find some reliable tab online.

Would anyone recommend Assassin's Creed 2 on PC? It's currently 75% off on Steam ( store.steampowered.com/sale/ubi_weekend2012), which is tempting ... but I found the first Assassin's Creed a bit boring and repetitive, and I don't fancy wasting my time if the sequel is no better.

What GnR song(s) are you learning? (I've got the Appetite for Destruction tab book, but I can't say I've put much effort into learning any of the songs in full. Just a few riffs here and there.

The game I play most regularly is Starcraft 2. Utterly addicted. Other than that, I play a range of PC games, but I'm usually a few years behind the current crop of brand new games, as I tend to wait until they're cheap! Recently finished Dead Space and just started the sequel. Also just finished Bioshock. Also, just bought a couple of oldies from GOG.com - Zeus: Master of Olympus, and Dungeon Keeper 2.

With your spikey thing and your punchy thing you'll be a proper vaping ninja Or I'll just end up injuring myself.

Ooh, tanks, I hadn't even considered those! Have to admit, I didn't even know what they were, but I've just had a look at them, and I think I get the idea. Is it relatively easy to punch a carto, or would you recommend (for a noob like me) getting pre-punched ones?

Seeing as I keep hearing so much praise for them, I think I'm going to order some rainbows (some SR and some LR, to see what difference it makes to flavour) and also some CE2s (the short ones that hold 0.8ml, and run at 2.6-2.8ohms), and I would be grateful for any advice on the following: Do you need a syringe for filling CE2s? I notice that there is a version of the rainbow with a longer wick (as listed here: www.vapeescape.co.uk/new-vision-ego-v2-rainbow-long-wick~362 . Would anyone recommend these? Is the longer wick a significant improvement? I think I'll be putting an order in to VapeEscape, seeing as there is the 15% discount at the mo (not to mention that I'm also keen to get my hands on some of that cocomel that people keep mentioning!) ... so my final question is: are there any other types of carto/clearo currently stocked by VE that you'd recommend I add to my order, just to try them out? I'm completely open to suggestion, as Boge cartos are the only thing I've tried so far.

No, I've never jammed with a banjo player. I bet that would be fun. Sadly, these days, I don't live close to anyone I know who plays any kind of instrument, so I haven't jammed with anyone in quite a while. (Even with the band I'm in, we all live too far away from each other to meet up - so we record parts separately and send them to our mate who does the mixing!)

Thought I'd post a riff I really like. Might be a good one for beginners like flipflop to try and learn. It's quite challenging, but satisfying if you can nail it. It's the intro riff from "Vortex" by Megadeth. Here's the tune: And here's the tab. Where it says (p) or (h) next to a note, that means you pull-off or hammer-on to that note. E|----------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------------- G|----------------------------------------------------- D|--------4--------3--------2-3(h)-2(p)--0--2--0----------- A|--2--2-----2--2-----2--2--------------------------4--2--0-- E|----------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------------------------------------- G|-------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------4--------3----------3-2(p)-0(p)--4-2(p)-0(p)-------------------- A|--2--2-----2--2-----2--2--------------------------------3-2(p)-0(p)--4-2(p)-0(p)-- E|-------------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------- B|----------------------------------------------------- G|----------------------------------------------------- D|--------4--------3--------2-3(h)-2(p)--0--2--0----------- A|--2--2-----2--2-----2--2--------------------------4--2--0-- E|----------------------------------------------------- h p E|-------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------------------------- G|-------------------------------------------------- D|-----------------------------------------2-------- A|--2--------------5--4--2--5-----------------5--4-- E|-----0--1--2--3--------------2--3--4--5----------- btw, if this is too challenging, and you want suggestions of simpler riffs to learn, just let me know.

lol, I've only bought 2 guitars in 22 years! A cheap one that I bought initially (a "Charvette", which is a budget version of a Charvel), and the Ibanez pictured above, which I got when I decided to upgrade to something decent. Maybe it's just that I'm happy with the sounds I get out of the Ibanez, and I haven't felt the need to get anything else. Or maybe I'm just tight.

Ha ha, he can be a bit of a timid cat, but he likes to snuggle under the duvet, as in this pic.
