            Nice one Greg. Love the growl of that SG.

                Good to see you back on the Challenges Greg, we’ve missed you. I thoroughly enjoyed your EP414, it had a soothing but pleasant effect and I loved the tone you created from your SG.

                  Great to see you back, Greg. Great lesson, nicely played. Love that SG, I always feel like I should have one of those.

                    Wow, lot of participants this time around. Great job Greg with your new SG. I would like to hear that thing through more of an amp if you have one.

                    Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                        Congrats on the SG
                        That was a very nice performance.
                        That 5 watt Marshall is roaring.

                                    Greg, good to see you here …sounded great and I love the SG. I am going to check out 414…seems similar to the one I did (but 414 goes farther up the neck). Great job on this submission! Cheers. Pap

                                                  I’ve got a Marshall Classic 5. It rattled a bit when I first got it so I tried to damp down some of the metal bits, it’s OK now. You’re lucky to be able to turn yours up loud and it sounds pretty good.
