Fortunately, all 17 guitarists were at the very least semi-pro. It was pretty amazing that it would work at all and there was only one song that was a true train wreck. I think the #1 thing that helped was the room was huge, we lined up on four walls, everyone has plenty of space with a PA stack in all the corners.

What I also liked was you could see and hear everyone's main rigs. I think every brand of everything was represented. Where else can you hear that?

It was a great way for a room full of Old Farts to feel young again for few hours.

Its time for me to bow out of this thread and go play my acoustic guitar quietly on the back porch. That's fun too.
