Nick is a great guitar player - and the stuff in brackets is funny!

Pete Jennings - thanks for the tip - I'll have a practice

The shame of it is, that although I use a flatpick, I'm not even very good with that either. I tend to strum using half pick and half the nail of my forefinger or, if I'm not concentrating, pick more than one string / the wrong string when I don't intend to!
