That looks absolutlely amazing.  Can't be there but I hope there will be some video of the attempt posted online.  I'd love to see that

Re: World guitar ensemble record attempt

Thanks for the invite Lads!

  It would be nice to visit the Isles again, but I may have a bit of a time convincing the other half that traveling a third of the way around the world, to stand in a crowd and play a two chord song in a language that hasn't been uttered by any member of my family, in something like four generations, is a fine use of our limited funds.

But if I can be there other than in spirit, I'll be easily spotted.... the bearded long-haired fellow, with the blue Ovation and strange accent.  LOL
