I sympathize. When I sing, people tell me I should be on the radio -- so they can turn it off.
I have a face made for radio and a voice that's perfect for Morse code.

Yeah, but can you play it with flames[^] coming out of the guitar?
Repost, I know, but you were asking for it, and I think it's pretty cool (no pun intended) all the same...

The studio version has Angus picking the notes (you can hear the pick strikes). Live, in certain shows, he does it via pull offs because it looks a lot showier but if you watch Live at the river plate[^], you see that he's picking.

It can be done both ways, I kind of use a combination of both where I pluck the string then hammer-on / pull-off.
I would have loved to have the internet when I played years ago, it's so easy these days to look up a song and get the tabs and video lessons. We had to learn everything by ear or go buy a copy of Guitar Player. I've also worn out a few records along the way.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Best way to do it. I've reviewed a few of the tabs and videos posted online for students and generally have found them to be lacking.

YOu seen the state of some CP articles? Its the internet, full of wannabees.
BTW Thunderstruck is pretty easy to play, the problem is losing interest since it gets very repettetive after a minute.
It is plucked though the whole time, no hammers or pulls, if you listen to the atack on every note.

So with each new generation of consoles there is a mini war between fan boys. Apparently the PS4 won this time around due to better specs and less restrictions but no one is buying either console until they decide to stop charging and arm, a leg and your financial future for the devices.
I myself, if I had such expendable income, would of chosen the Xbox One, being a fan of the device and liking the kinnect stuff.
Anyway Sony have announced a prototype VR headset for the PS4 to compete with the new oculus rift device which has started the recent (2-3 year) VR Trend. I actually like the idea of immersive gaming and virtual reality so if Sony had announced this before the PS4 release they would of got my vote, hell they may even do so now if they can do anything with it.
Anyone's opinions on VR and "immersive gaming"?

One of the problems I have with VR headsets is...you don't half look like a pillock wearing them...
