[00:04:10]That was my dream in the face.

[00:04:21]Now we need more on the table.

[00:04:32]My heart Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another live stream Saturday. It's definitely live stream Saturday and maybe the second live stream Saturday of the week if you're tuning in on Tuesday when I didn't know which day it was, but it's yeah, definitely the weekend now.

[00:05:11]So, hello and thank you guys for joining me tonight. I can see you in the live chat room. So, let me give you guys an immediate shout out. We have in there uh Lauri, Tammy, Kevin, Desert, Deluge, Karen, Ro Sue in there as well. And um it's it's moving too quickly, but we've got uh Billy Vitality Depa uh Rose S4 Row is in the house as well. Cindy, Tammy, Ruth. Hello everyone and thank you for joining me tonight. So, let me get the names of my patrons up on screen. As I always say, they are the foundation of everything that I do on the channel, including the analysis of videos and these live streams. Without them, this wouldn't be possible at all.

[00:06:07]So, a massive thank you to you guys. You know who you are.

[00:06:11]So, the news from the UK is that we're going through a heat wave at the moment, which is yeah, it's surprising, but not really considering how I think over the last few years things have been warming up uh year on year, but I'm not sure whether we've got a new record for May.

[00:06:34]We might be close to a new record for May. It's kind of in the balance, maybe.

[00:06:38]So, it means I think tomorrow is going to be hotter than it is today. But, yeah, I I've got the air conditioning turned up to 11. So, it means I've had to get the air conditioning unit out and attach my um NASA thing that I made last year or the year before. Um, which is the thing that I initially made out of cardboard boxes that didn't it worked for maybe one summer and then it didn't keep on working. So I then came up with a more uh durable, more professional approach and yeah, I've got that attached now. So it means that I can have the air conditioning unit in another room and just run the well exhaust pipe, whatever you call it, coming through into here. And it's relatively I was going to say relatively cool. It's not really. It's still quite warm, but it keeps things just about manageable because yeah, the heat in in this room does seem to go a little bit crazy even when you've got cool air being fed into it. But anyway, yes, we are going to be getting everything up else everything else up on screen that we normally do. I've got to try and find the mouse. There it is. And I know that the mouse is charged because I did that yesterday. But sometimes it's because I got a 4K monitor and I've got so many different um windows going on. Finding the little arrow uh can be quite difficult sometimes. But I now have it, which is good, which means we can get the lights goal up on screen. And for tonight, we're aiming for 330 likes. So, if you could hit that thumbs up as you come through the door, it would be very much appreciated. And if we do hit that target, it means that we're going to be having Phil jam number 328.

[00:08:33]So, almost the amount of likes being equal to the amount of Phil jams that we've had. So, yeah, very close. So, we'll keep an eye on that lyometer and see what happens. Um, I can see Cara says the mouse. Is there a cat? Laugh out loud. So, no. Um, this is what we call a mouse. It's for the computer. So, yeah, the mouse is the thing that you move around in order to see where the arrow is, but sometimes the arrow disappears, especially when you've got another screen that you have like the multi-creen setup. And I have the screen on the left hand side here. Which means that now the little arrow thing is over here. And now it's over here. There it is. So yeah, I got to keep an eye on it.

[00:09:24]Right. Anyway, let me get the lopter up on screen because we are aiming for one.

[00:09:33]Well, we're aiming for 330. We're at 193 and six more people to get to 200 which then makes it easy. I guess it's 136 more people. That is the maths done for tonight. So yeah, closing in on 200 which is great.

[00:09:52]And uh I can see oh uh Rodeium Maiden says it was 28 C today and is still 17 C. I'm dying from the heat. Uh so thank you for that. Yeah. Now the problem is it depends really what your house is like but some houses have very good insulation which is great but in the summertime when it starts getting really hot keeping all that heat inside isn't particularly good and you can even open you can have all of your windows open and somehow the house is still keeping all of the heat inside. So yeah, that's what tends to happen here. Um especially in um you know, more modern properties in the old ones. Yeah, it's generally worse in the winter because yeah, you're going to be having to heat your house a lot because it's just escaping everywhere. So yeah, it's um it's really I think most people would prefer your house to be warm and then just kind of deal with it in the summer rather than for it to be freezing cold in in the winter because that's the problem when it gets to sometimes minus temperatures um minus degrees Celsius. Uh yeah, that's not very much fun at all if you haven't got any heating in your house.

[00:11:10]So yeah, even though it's a bit annoying, it's good in the winter, but a bit annoying in I say in the summer, it's not really technically the summer yet. This is just what they're calling a heat wave. Just yeah, some random really warm temperatures going on. And I would say that when the temperatures may be 27 or 28 outside, inside it's more like 31 32.

[00:11:40]So this is why yeah, air conditionings are very much I mean we don't really like the heat here. All we don't um get on very well with it. It's okay when you go on holiday and it's maybe just two or three weeks, but if it's a constant thing throughout the summer, then yeah, it is a bit annoying. But I am lucky in that I have got these air conditioning units that I get out, you know, just portable ones uh that I then have the tube going out the window. And I've actually just purchased some perspects things I didn't even know you could get, but I did find out yesterday that you can get this. So it means that people will cut a bit of I can't remember. Is it perspect? It's like plastic that you can see through. I don't know if that's the correct word for it, but they will cut it out to size and you just say what size you want. And I thought, well, I'll do that and then I'll apply the double-sided kind of Velcro tape, which means I can put on the on the window on the outside, uh, one side of that tape, and then I put the other tape on this perspects thing, which is going to be made to measure because I measured the window. And then I can put that on there. It'll stick by Velcro and it's got the correct size of hole that I've obviously um told them what what size hole to make it as well.

[00:13:03]So then I can have the tubing going out of this perspect thing out the window which means that all the flies and things don't come inside and it's just going to be going out the window. Now in theory in my head that's going to work.

[00:13:16]Now whether it works in real life or not I'll have to report and let you guys know in the future but hopefully it will do. Fingers crossed. But I know exactly what's going to happen. I'm going to get all of this sorted and then it's going to start getting really cold again and then the summer's going to be rubbish and I'm not going to need air conditioning and I've bought um this stuff for nothing. But we will see. So anyway, let me get the donations tab up on screen because as I always say, you don't have to donate. Just watching is great. So, for those people that can't resist donating, I think it's important that they know between 45 and 60% goes to YouTube through the super chat window. And between three and 5% goes to PayPal through the PayPal link, which you can find in the description below. But yeah, you don't have to donate for anything on the channel, um, analysis videos or anything like that. I just take the requests through requestswingspegasus.com right now. We also have Oh, let me just get rid of the lycometer so I can just jump into the super chat window because we had a donation in there and this is from Monica and his I'm going to start calling them um parody requests. So Monica has donated $5 and says, "Can you please explain these five things on guitar?

[00:14:47]String skipping with sliding, sliding with octaves, sliding with tapping, and Lokian scale." So uh thank you for that.

[00:14:56]And yeah, over the last, I don't know, few weeks, Monica has been requesting things to demonstrate on the guitar, which I've already demonstrated. And before I caught on, I was then demonstrating the same thing uh cuz I didn't realize it's the same person requesting it. So yeah, we'll um we'll leave that particular uh request or parody request, but thank you for that donation of $5.

[00:15:24]And oh, Kevin says only recently purchased an air con tube out the window. Hang on. only recently purchased an aircon and there is a full stop there tube out the window but mine already had an adjustable fitting but yes it sits in the window nicely so thank you for that yeah this is it all depends on your type of window and whether the fitting that comes with it is relevant at all because the thing that mine came with was totally irrelevant for the window that I've got because the window that I need to put it out of um opens so that if you how could I explain this? So, normally with a window, you open it and then you push out. Even though with some of these things that they give you, they say about pulling the the window in. I don't think I've ever had a window that I've pulled in to open. It's always been pushing outwards. So anyway, the normal window that you'd have, you'd undo it and then you'd push it outwards.

[00:16:35]But with this particular window, it's like a window that isn't side on. It's kind of on the horizontal. So it means you grab it at the bottom and then you push out. So now the gap for the window is just at the bottom and yeah, a little bit at the sides. So yeah, the problem with that is they don't supply you with with something that's going to um fit fill in all of those gaps. So that's why I thought I'd get something a bit more um custom made. I did buy these things before where you attach it with Velcro and then you zip it up and you zip up around the the tube, but yeah, I I felt that that's a bit of a pain. Whereas I don't know this system that I'm thinking will work. I guess it's like a NASA thing.

[00:17:24]that I did for the air conditioning is I've had an idea and I think it will work. So that's that's going to be either proven correct or I will be proven wrong. But the other thing is I thought right well when I've got that in place the hole for the tube has got to be in a place where I can also reach through and undo the window and then push the window out. So I have done it with things in mind and yeah we'll see.

[00:17:52]So, unfortunately, it's just a bit of a weird window, but I thought it's better to almost have a whole sheet of something with a with that hole for the tube to go through rather than Yeah.

[00:18:03]doing the whole velcro thing and trying to uh you know, fill in all the gaps and then sometimes you'll miss a gap and it comes away a bit and yeah, you might get kind of you tiny little flies that come in. It's all a bit annoying. Of course, when it starts to get warm, uh, all the little flies and things go crazy and you know, sometimes mosquitoes, even though we don't have too many of them here in the UK, we do get them, which can can be a bit annoying. So, um, yeah, Kevin says, "Oh, I see. Yes, mine slides left to right. Uh, aluminum frame on a runner frame thingy." The only reason that I said or the only reason I smiled was because I said aluminum and I know that over in the USA you say aluminum. Uh anyway, uh yes, the the sliding things. Yeah, mine came with a horizontal sliding thing that I think was Yeah. for for the windows that you slide from one side to the next.

[00:19:08]Yeah, I think we have those more in office blocks. Or maybe what I bought was for or maybe they think that people are going to have it in an office or something, but you know, I think it should come with something that's a little bit more relevant to to, you know, normal windows that you have in a house. Anyway, right, I will just jump over to the PayPal window because there's been a little bit of action in there. So, it was Ian who donated£1.

[00:19:38]Thank you for that, Ian. And that is a straightup donation.

[00:19:45]And Lrod has donated six pound. So, thank you for that, Lrod. And that's another straightup donation.

[00:19:54]Um, Karen's donated £560. So, thank you for that. And the message is, "Hi, Phil.

[00:20:00]I've done music therapy with autistic and elderly people where I've seen them respond positively and at times relax nowadays I do this with the elderly where respond by playing air guitar have you heard of music therapy if so your thoughts thanks Karen so thank you for that and yeah the only thing that I've seen actually was on the And they were using music therapy for um like dementia patients, you Alzheimer's and people who yeah were obviously losing their memory or or couldn't remember. There's one particular case where the person couldn't remember their you know child's name who was and obviously it was an elderly person so uh the child who was visiting I say child but their son or daughter would have probably been in maybe their you know mid-50s themselves something like that and they saw a a marked improvement by playing the songs from the you know the adults childhood. So when singing to you know the other thing that the the daughter in this particular case said that when the music started playing it's like the personality of her dad came back because he was talking about you know who was in you know this particular band and you know the song that he liked and then you know oh when I heard this I was going down that and then it it was spark different memories that. Yeah. And it would just happen when these songs were playing. And yeah, they might have particular views on things about particular kinds of music that listening to this music it sets off. and he was listening to this and then commenting on other music that he thought maybe wasn't as good because this is really good because you know this particular guy who plays this and yeah it meant that for whatever reason it was firing off memories that are stored in I'm assuming a different part of the brain and yeah this is something that with guitar players as an example when you learn to play an instrument a lot of what you're doing is subconscious muscle memory meaning that you're you're consciously thinking when you're learning but then you know after playing for months and months and years and years all of these movements are now automatic so yeah there have been cases and you know I know that Miguel Campbell was an example of this that as his illness progressed the thing that was the last to leave him was the guitar playing because somebody would give him a guitar and then he would start playing. He his brain had all of that information stored in a subconscious space where you know it's almost like give you know give Glenn a guitar and he could just play what he used to play. Um so yeah it's it's amazing but also it shows you that the information for doing things such as that that are you know unique um sets of muscle memory and you know very kind of fine what motor skills that you've got with the movements of your hands and your fingers and all that muscle memory that's that's stored in in your forearm that's kind of firing off that all of that is stored in your brain somewhere and yeah isn't necessarily linked to memories of your life but then it can be loaded up when you're given the guitar there's that I guess I guess that's a memory in itself of knowing that you play the guitar or you remember that you played the guitar especially when somebody's been playing their whole life it would trigger that um I don't know that recognition maybe and then they start playing. So yeah, it's really interesting. But with yeah, music therapy, that that's the only thing that I saw. Um, but the place that they were testing this, it it seemed to be the universal case that when they started playing music from, you know, early in, you know, the adults life that the people that were were suffering with dementia, for example, they then found that it was bringing up memories that nothing else can. and it's just within that kind of three or four minutes that they're listening to the song. So yeah, re really interesting um to see what what can be achieved. But yeah, thank you for that Karen and uh Lynn has donated £75. Thank you for that Lynn. Um a very kind donation. And check this out, Phil. New episodes of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch started here in the US.

[00:25:14]So thank you for that. And yeah, this is always um just when I have to sit back and wait until later this year where in the UK we start to get the episodes. I think maybe in September time, something like that. So generally I just wait and just record the series and then watch it. So um the secrets of skinwalker or the secret of skinwalker ranch and then beyond skinwalker ranch what they do here is they show both of those at you on the same day. It was usually a Wednesday and at 9:00 you'd have like the main skinwalker ranch show and then straight after that 10 you'd have beyond skinwalker ranch. So, I just set both of those to series record and then yeah, check them out when I have time. But, you know, certainly the last series they were they were finding some interesting things which was cool. So, uh let me just skip these adverts coming through right now. Um oh, the other thing to mention is you probably already noticed that I have had a haircut. So, now my my fringe was down to about here. Uh, but now I had it cut to up here. So, I don't know. I guess half and half. So, it's still kind of um a center part a center parting type thing going on. But yeah, a little bit more manageable because I I was finding that yeah, with the hair coming really far down, like I said last time, I couldn't really see much of what was going on because of my hair. But, um, yes. So halfway between the two now I guess right now there's been just one more donation I can get through here and it's Karen who's donated £356.

[00:27:06]So thank you for that and the message is greetings from beautiful Sacramento California Phil. So do you not have screens on windows there? Also you could get ceiling fans for your home. Does anybody decide to install air conditioning? It's a must here. It's been mid 80s to 90 degrees here this week. So, generally you won't have air conditioning in UK homes just because um it it used to be rare that that it would be really hot. But yeah, um temperatures are increasing year on year. As for ceiling fans, again, that's really not something that we do here, but I know that um yeah, I've seen it in other countries and yeah, certainly over in the USA, in Florida, for example. So yeah, installing air conditioning in the studio that is something that um yeah, we decided to put air conditioning in there just because of the fact that most of the walls were were hit by the sun for most of the day. So if if it were a sunny day, for example, um and yeah, I decided to put carpet in there as well.

[00:28:29]So it meant that yeah during summer times it gets really hot in the studio.

[00:28:36]So that's why we decided to kind of go for air conditioning there which isn't I don't think it's normal to have it installed in your house. But if there's something like that an out building that yeah has a purpose where you might be in there for a long time. Generally, I'd say that when you're creating music and you've got headphones on maybe for hours at a time, that's where, yeah, you can start to get really hot. So, it was a bit of a no-brainer to um just install air conditioning there, which is, you know, it's great when it's, you know, relatively silent. But the things that I've got here, like inside and in this room, not technically not in this room, but I've got a tube running into this room from another room. The air conditioning unit is quite loud. You know the ones that you can get that are just on wheels and you are quite heavy as well, but yeah, they they do the job for just this this room that Yeah, it gets quite quite hot. But yeah, there's no air conditioning kind of built into this room. And yeah, I think in order to do that, it's just it's absolutely fine just using, you know, air conditioning unit that's going to be a couple of hundred quid. Whereas if you're looking to actually install it in a room, it means that they've then got to attach something, you know, from the outside coming in, they'd have to kind of probably demolish half the house to do it. So yeah, you'd be looking at a lot of money to do that. Whereas it's absolutely fine as it is right now.

[00:30:08]Um, yeah, thank you for that. Let me just try and skip to the next donation.

[00:30:15]This is Karen again who's donated5 and3 p. So thank you for that. And the message is Phil just to clarify I work with elderly patients with memory loss with people with dementia Alzheimer's disease. The last of their memory to go is music. Any thoughts on that? Uh thanks for your show of interest. Cheers Karen. So maybe Karen wrote this or did did this donation uh before I was then talking about yeah the last thing to go is um certainly playing an instrument but with music it seems like that's being stored in a different part of of the brain and yeah for for me it's like when you hear a song it's like when the only thing that I can think about logically is that when you're remembering something, there's no trigger to that. If you are purely, you know, if somebody says to you, "Oh, do you remember when?" And they they're trying to give you something to remember. So, I imagine that if somebody is struggling with memory loss and you say, "Can you remember this?" then they might not remember it because there's I don't know there there's nothing that is triggering that because you're just being asked to remember something kind of outright and at the drop of a hat whereas the the amount of times that I will remember something that is a song but you don't remember the song you remember where you were when you heard that song or what was going on at the time. Um, and it would take you back to I remember that, you know, loads of kind of mainstream pop hits that that I wasn't a fan of. When I say I wasn't a fan of, they were just in the charts. But there'll be a particular song that when it comes on I remember for example playing on you know PlayStation one the uh Lara Croft computer game or the Colin McCrae rally game and it's it's a specific point that it takes you to which that song must have played or been playing at the time that I was you know playing on the PlayStation when I was younger when I was a So yeah, um these things that but that's the trigger for for the memory is the sound. So you're you're not really thinking about the the band and the names of the you know singers that that were in that particular band. You're remembering what was happening when you heard that song. So yeah, it's really interesting and yeah, I guess you know back then I would have been kind of a teenager anyway, but but even going earlier than that, you know, when you see, oh, something that I um saw was um a a toy that triggered a memory and then I thought, "Oh, wow. I I had that toy and it was something that I would have never remembered that if somebody had asked me about, oh, which toys did you have? I might have said, oh, I had the the the Ghostbuster, you know, fire station thing. I had the Ghostbuster car and I had the figures. I had, you know, Ninja Turtles and, you know, I had a Game Boy as well, which was really cool. But then this particular I think it was a He-Man figure, but it wasn't He-Man because I would have remembered that. It was something to do with another character that's in the world of He-Man. And yeah, it so anyway, it just meant that I started typing into Google like 80s kids toys and it was now bringing up all of these toys that I then remembered and thought, "Oh yeah, I had that." And yeah, it's really cool to um to to do that. Kind of type in the decade of of your childhood and just look at all the toys because it'll just bring back the memories that you'll remember the toys even though you don't remember them in your adult life. So yeah, it's a really cool thing. Um Gabe says Skeletor. No, it wasn't Skeletor because I had He-Man and I had Skeletor and I think those were the only two that I had. In fact, I know that I had two He-Man, even though there's only one He-Man. So, um yeah, I had um He He-Man characters and I had wrestling characters as well.

[00:35:00]I had the WWF, you know, ring that is kind of plastic and a bit rubbish, but yeah, I liked it as a kid. So, um Corey says, "I remember Pong." Uh, so yeah, that was like the game on the screen with the things that you have um kind of either side. So yeah, that was cool. I I that was my first Oh, was it my first I don't know whether that was my first computer game that I ever played or whether it was the Donkey Kong handheld thing where you had to jump over the barrel. So it' be interesting to know which one of those came first. I'm assuming it had to be the Pong game with the things at the side of the screen. So, um, yeah, we we used to have one of those, which was cool. And the controller was just this little thing that you held and it just had a something that you turned on it.

[00:35:55]That's how complicated it was. So, um, yeah, all back in the days. So, right, let me just uh quickly jump back into the donations window because Mish Marie has donated two pounds. Thank you for that. And the message is, "Hi, Phil. H, usually a guitarist gets 30 to to 50 seconds to play a solo. What are the mechanics, techniques, or components to deliver an epic solo? Thanks, and rock.

[00:36:28]So, thank you for that."

[00:36:30]Uh, well, it depends what you classify or what your taste is. Yeah, if we're calling something an epic solo, but I'd say that generally that the things that great solos, I mean, when I say great solos, I'm talking about solos that are very well known, that are uh mainstream solos in in that lots of people will know, you know, which song that particular came that particular solo came from. So they will have melody all the time. There will be strong melodic components, meaning that you can sing most if not all of the solo. So, oh, by the way, that's just reminded me I'm going to be doing a video tomorrow night that talking about melodic guitar solos.

[00:37:21]I'm going to be taking a look at um I guess I could tell you about this. I'm gonna be taking a look at Bohemian Rapsidy because this is something that I've always wanted to do is do a dive into not only vocals, but Brian May's guitar to see how his guitar playing looks on pitch monitoring software and how all of the vocals look. And yeah, I was watching a video recently on David Hartley's channel and I thought, oh, you know what what he was pointing out is really interesting about, you know, the mix and you the different vocals and maybe listening to one vocal and another vocal, but then I thought, yeah, but you know, it's it's interesting to me to find out what the voices doing were doing, what how they were interacting, but then what was the instrumentation doing? So, um, yeah, look out for that video tomorrow night because yeah, when I was doing listening to it and looking at the pitch graphs, it was really interesting because there is so much going on that people absolutely don't appreciate about Bohemian Rapsidy and I will be pointing that out tomorrow night as well as the yeah, lead guitar solo kind of the first one. But yeah, some really cool stuff uh that you'll find in tomorrow night's video. And yeah, it's going to be a bit of a break from uh you know, what we've been doing recently. I know that I've been asked to look at lots of AI stuff, but yeah, tomorrow night is just going to be kind of looking at a classic hit and seeing you know what's gone into it, but also how the frequencies interact with each other.

[00:39:04]But anyway, talking about the guitar solo. So, you're going to have something that's melodic. And taking Bohemian Raps City as an example, you can already imagine the Brown May solo in your head and you can sing along to it. So, you've got that. You've got then the light and shade which I'll you know you you can approach that dynamically if you want to be a little bit more aggressive and then maybe you know take your foot off the accelerator a little bit from a dynam dynamic perspective but then talking about you know ex accelerating speed and playing slowly you want to have elements of that generally you'll have something that's quite melodic and a little bit of kind of faster playing and then go back to something that's melodic and maybe a little bit of faster playing. So yeah, um Brian May for for the example, we have the melodic components and then you'll have a run that will then go into another melodic component. And yeah, it's also about making a journey out of the solo. So you'll find that you might start lower in pitch and gradually increase the pitch with whatever you're playing so that then you kind of get to the crescendo of the solo which might be a a a bend at the end which you know you can apply VAT to or you can then kind of get to the peak of your mountain and then blend down into whatever or wherever the song is going.

[00:40:37]So yeah, it's all about it's about that really. Obviously, it's easy to to say it. It's another thing to put it all together, but um so you're really focusing on melody and sometimes you can even play the vocal melody from the song. Uh because you know that that's just going to sit your solo in there and make it relevant. But yes, you want to have like strong melody. Um extemporize on the melody of the song. You don't just want to repeat um the same thing all the time unless that's really what you're going for. And yeah, um dynamics you can throw in um slight light and shade there, but then you know dabble in a little bit of faster playing and then make a journey out of it from a pitch perspective. So there you go. Those are the four things that I'd say would outline it if you were trying to come up with an epic solo, but that's all, you know, whatever you consider to be epic.

[00:41:34]So right, thank you for that M Marie and Julia's donated £73.

[00:41:43]So thank you for that Julia. And the message is uh check out the graphs in this paper. Uh so thank you for that.

[00:41:58]Yeah, I don't know what that relates to, but um thank you for the donation. And Jennifer's donated $5 as well. Thank you for that. This is in the super chat window. And the message is, Phil, I had a p a pastor's wife whose dad sang in a gospel quartet. He could not remember people's names, but could remember song lyrics. So, thank you for that. Yeah.

[00:42:25]Yeah. very much along those lines that something musical seems to get stored in in in a different place uh for whatever reason.

[00:42:35]And I guess that when when you remember the words to a song, nobody's ever sat down and learned lyrics from a song because they're about to have an exam on the lyrics of songs. So if that were the case, I know that if that were the case, I wouldn't remember any of the lyrics that will be in the exam because I was just absolutely useless at exams. And this is the uh the problem that I've got with the education system is that some people are really good at remembering things, but they haven't ne necessarily learned those things that that they're storing it in, you know, long-term memory or they don't have the knowledge that the memory implies because they can come up with lots of stuff, but then after the exam, they forget about all of it. So, it wasn't particularly the knowledge that they were demonstrating.

[00:43:31]it was their ability to remember things.

[00:43:34]Now, I wasn't very good at remembering things. Um, which meant that, yeah, when I came to do exams, I wasn't very good, but also I'm not very fast at writing.

[00:43:42]So, you think, well, if somebody's got a good memory and they can write at double the speed, even if you had the same memory, they're going to get double the amount of information down that you physically can. So, you think, well, that means that the exam is now a test of your writing speed. nothing to do with what you can remember. So even from that point of view think well that's unfair. So yeah um not a big fan of exams. Uh never have been and never will be. I don't think I'm much of an exam person. I'm more of a you know practical person of kind of doing things. Uh and that's how I remember things rather than sitting down and learning. But like I said with with that case of the lyrics, I've never sat down and tried to learn lyrics. It's always yes, just something that you naturally pick up by listening to the song a lot. At least that's how how I do it. So uh yeah, thank you for that, Jennifer. Now talking about songs, we have the vote for the cover video going on at the bottom of the live chat room. And that is between uh to be with you and you give love a bad name. And I can see that you give love a bad name has 59% of the vote so far. So, whichever one of those you want to listen to, if you could hit a thumbs up as you um you know are voting because let me get the lycometer.

[00:45:16]Oh, it's disappeared. Where's it gone?

[00:45:19]So, 299 likes, which is great. But yeah, as you vote for your cover choice, obviously it's going to be my version of it. as you vote for that. If you could hit it the thumbs up as well, that would be appreciated because it means that we can bust out the guitar after the cover video. So, now we're looking for 30 more people to hit the thumbs up. So, yeah, if you could do that, that would be great. And how long have we how long have we got left? It's uh 48 minutes past 11 here in the UK. So, we are Yeah. getting getting close to at least the the cover video time that we normally take a look at a cover video.

[00:46:03]So yeah, we will see if we reach that target. And yeah, doing some maths tonight is the maths has been quite easy tonight. So yeah, 26 more likes to um Skin Walker Ranch thing and I know people are getting the episodes or the series, you know, as it's released in the USA. We have to wait for it here in the UK. But if you can maybe not tell me what's going on, I probably prefer it like, you know, that way. It's like when you're waiting to watch a particular football match and then somebody tells you the score and you really didn't want to know the score because you wanted to watch it um as if you hadn't seen it. So yeah, the whole Skinwalker Ranch thing. Um don't send me lots of messages about what's going on uh because I'll check it out later in the year. And yeah, I think this is the other problem is that when you're trying to find a series that might have been on and it's been like a previous series, when I say that I mean that for example, I watched a few of the just randomly I think a few of the Survivor series, but for whatever reason it was the Australian version that that got recommended or got suggested. So, I started watching that and that's probably I don't know a couple of years ago. So, yeah, started watching that and I know that it's a US thing. I think it started in the USA, but then there've been loads of other um versions in different countries, but I saw the first uh series of that, but I think the first series was like in 2004 or something. So it means that when you're then searching for say that you watch the first series then you search for the second series but it's like you're searching for the series and and kind of trying to cover up anything that it says about the series because you don't want to know who won who who won who won or who wins. So, uh, yeah, whenever I'm I'm looking up an old series of something, it's, um, I try to, uh, make sure I don't see the result because especially with something like Survivor, you can have, I don't know, maybe 40 or 50 episodes because it's a really long thing. uh because there's about 20 people that that take part in it and you know they do lots of challenges and then um I say more towards the end you then get people who are now in like the final seven for example and things yeah start getting a lot more kind of cutthroat but yeah there's loads of episodes so it means that if you were to watch a series or you want to watch a series then you'd find out who won before watching the kind of ru ruins everything. So, I always try to avoid that. Same thing for Alone, which is another show that I um started to watch.

[00:49:12]But I know that I haven't I started on I think series 7 or series 8, something like that. So, I know that I've got, you know, series one, two, three, four, five, six. I've got loads that I haven't seen, which I would like to see.

[00:49:26]Obviously, it's having the time to watch them, but also finding where you can watch them because, yeah, with streaming sites and things, it's there's always some shows that they have the rights to and then they don't have the rights to and then you can see that there's a series that's available, but then it disappears because, you know, they don't have the rights to it anymore, you know, in the UK, like, you know, Amazon Prime or Netflix or wherever it might be. So yeah, that's the other slightly annoying thing about that. So right um oh um oh let me see this advert that's trying to get involved now I have been skipping the adverts at least when I see them but I know that they don't seem that doesn't seem to have much of an effect if I'm skipping the adverts. Uh people still get get adverts. So I I don't know how to combat that but I skip as many as possible right now. I mean it is what 53 minutes past 11. I can see that Cindy saying Phil tune the library.

[00:50:31]Maybe we could jump into that and yeah maybe oh here's another thing I can see that somebody said about um uh Bachelor series. I haven't seen anything like about that, but maybe that's like um a dating series. So, recently here in the UK, I did see on the news there was a show and there is a show called Married at First Sight, which yeah, I'm not sure. Obviously, people go on this show and it's exactly what it sounds like that you marry someone and you've never met them. But anyway, the problem was um that yeah, if you're marrying someone that you've never met before, you don't know their character. So, bad things can happen after that potentially if you're then left with a person that you've never met before. And for me, it's just, yeah, I don't know if somebody said to me, "Oh, I'm going on this show where I'm going to marry someone and I don't know what they look like or I don't even know their personality or whether they could be um, you know, or violent or have a a propensity for violence and other things." So, yeah, I'd say, well, maybe don't go on that show. But obviously people go on it and I know that there are other shows where they have Oh, there's a show I can't remember what it's called. Oh, Love Island. That's what it's called. Where uh people It's like a dating thing where and it's all, you know, young people that go on it like in their 20s um or maybe late teens and 20s. But the problem is that they go on these shows and obviously people want to be famous and they think, "Oh yeah, I can be on TV." But they don't realize that that's their life and effectively their love life that is now being watched by millions of people. So when they leave the show, it's like everyone's now really interested in, you know, them and and their love lives. And I know that a lot of the contestants have then had problems when they've left the show with depression and anxiety because of you know the things that they've gone through that might not have been particularly positive with a relationship that they have had but millions of people are are looking at it and watching it on screen. So yeah it's all very strange. I don't really understand the the reason for entering those but kind of shows but I guess this is what the younger generation are into now. It's like just fame at any cost. Um but anyway uh right I will just jump into and yeah we might jump into a field soon but I will quickly just jump into the PayPal window because Karen's donated £1069. So thank you for that.

[00:53:23]And the message is hi Phil my dad had back surgery at 41 otherwise healthy.

[00:53:28]the the general anesthesia caused a brain injury can be googled which caused a rapid onset of Alzheimer's. When he couldn't respond, mom would sing to him which they had done all during their marriage and dad would cry. Um so thank you for that and um yeah very sorry to hear about that. I mean 41 that's uh very young. So, um, thank you for that, Karen. Right, we will, uh, jump into the library fill. Oh, hang on. It's like I've forgotten that we haven't actually had the cover video yet. So, I'll bring that to a close. We are going to maybe have a fill jam. We need 13 more thumbs up to bust out the guitar. And I'm not sure how long the backing track is.

[00:54:20]Sometimes it's kind of what, five, six, seven minutes. So, we'll have to leave enough space for that at the end. If we can fit in a filt tune, then we will do.

[00:54:29]But it looks like it's going to be myself and Cena with our version of You Give Love a Bad Name because that has 58% of the vote. So, I hope you guys enjoy this and I will catch you guys after. Rock.

[00:54:49]Give love a bad name.

[00:55:16]Angel smile is what you sell. You promise me I will never put me through hell. Ch of love got a hold on me. When passions are pressing, you can't break free.

[00:57:56]Heat. Heat.

[00:58:11]Heat.

[00:58:15]Heat.

[00:58:39]And there we have it. That was myself and Cena on drums with our version of You Give Love a Bad Name, the BonJobi classic. So, I hope you guys enjoyed that. Now it looks like we have hit the target for tonight's Phil jam. So thank you guys think that thumbs up. It means that we will be busting out the guitar and oh we have a picture corner as well for tonight. So we will be jumping into that now. Should we just jump straight in there and we'll see what is going on in picture corner.

[00:59:20]Okay. Right. button worked as we went in there. So, let's see if this works as well. Oh, this is going to be bit of a gamble. It was a gamble and the gamble paid off.

[00:59:37]So, uh this has been sent in from Connie. And Connie says, "You never know who you'll run into when walking on the beach." Uh, so thank you for that.

[00:59:56]And here we go. Here's the next one. This is Briy who says, "Me on my flight to Greece with all my Wings of Pegasus gear to wear." Uh, so thank you for that, Bry.

[01:00:13]and got another one. All right.

[01:00:19]So here this is uh sent from Amy and oh Amy says uh in the 28th of March 2023 live stream Phil tells the Phil tune worthy or Phil tune maybe that's supposed to be worthy story of an audition he walked to while carrying a guitar and an amplifier. It inspired this graphic. I know that's a speaker and not an amp.

[01:00:56]Photo credits to Elmo and Shutter Stock.

[01:01:00]Check out Phil telling the story at 6:44 in the live stream. So, thank you for that. And yeah, as they say, true story.

[01:01:11]Uh when I was at university, uh I didn't have a car or anything. So, I went to an audition, which yeah, um, you can hear me tell the story in that other live stream, but I found I I was I kind of underestimated how much the um 50 DFX Marshall amp I had weighed. So, I thought I would just carry it with my guitar to the audition. And yeah, even though the audition was in the same town, it was a bit further than than I thought. But then I found a discarded shopping trolley. So I put my amp in the trolley and then could we could could wheel it to the audition. So yeah, unfortunately uh when I got to the audition um they really liked what I played and what I did and they said but unfortunately we've already said yes to somebody and yeah we we've organized it all with them. So, and it's too late for us to now tell this person that they can't do it anymore. So, um yeah, it was what it was, but then I just went merrily on my way with my shopping trolley uh back home.

[01:02:22]Anyway, so there we have it. Oh, and is there another one?

[01:02:27]Uh yes, there is. Here we go. So, this is Barbara. And Barbara says, "Uh, babysitting Andrew and Liam wearing my Wings of Pegasus shirt." So, thank you for that. And that is picture corner for tonight. So, we'll get rid of that and we'll get back to here. So, now we are up to date, I do believe.

[01:02:53]Oh, I I think we're at that point where we're not going to be able to fit in uh the fill jam, which we are definitely going to have. I just need to get my laptop working and wake it up from its sleep. I just want to find out how long the backing track is going to be. So it is 5 minutes and 38 seconds which will take us to about 11 minutes past. So uh including all the setup time and everything not working. Uh maybe we'll start the fill jam now. Uh let me just make sure that we are up to date with everything as well. Let me get rid of the lycometer. Jump into this. And yeah, we're up to date there, which is good. Right, let's grab the guitar, which is going to be the Fender Strapped for tonight. And oh, that reminds me. There was um I saw with Joe's message um I have to use this access this on the laptop. Um, yeah. Joe asked me what I thought about Fend Fender's legal uh actions against a multitude of small and midsize guitar builders that happen to make strap bodyshaped guitars.

[01:04:20]And I mean, this is interesting because I've actually always thought about this with the shape of the Strat. And you know, with other guitars, I've seen them described as having a Strat body.

[01:04:37]And you know, I always wondered, yeah, but can you just take something that is, you know, so well known and just just use it and say, "Oh, well, that guitar, their design, we like the look of, so we're going to copy that exactly with our design of our guitar." So, yeah, I've always wondered about it. And I mean I don't really have a a problem with Fender saying um to companies especially that are producing guitars that you know are just you know replicas bodywise of of the Fender Strat. Yeah. I don't have any problem with them saying, "Well, um, can you make your guitars look a little bit different?" Because, you know, people who might not know a lot about guitars, they might mistake one for a Strat, not realizing and um yeah, they might get one for their kid, for example, and might not notice that on the headstock it has a has a different brand name or maybe a Fond, you know, like um Fo Ner Stratic.

[01:05:44]Um but no, but I think yeah, for me the body is so recognizable that it doesn't surprise me that um they're kind of going down that route or at least want to go down that route. At least want to keep their identity, right? Um this is Oh, let's check.

[01:06:05]Let's check that everything's on and working. Right.

[01:06:09]I think Okay. Right. That looks like that is working. We are going to be jumping into cool powerful melodic rock backing track E minor from YT Dra YT Jam Tracks YT in capital letters for YouTube. So, uh I keep on using my Oh, yeah. Let's zoom out as well. I keep on using my mouse on the computer to try and move the mouse on the laptop. That's never going to work. So, again, I'm listening to this through a laptop. So, yeah, who knows uh what it's going to sound like for me hearing it, but as long as you guys can hear it, that's what's most important. I can't really do much about levels either. So, let's see what happens with this.

[01:07:26]Can you hear this?

[01:07:44]Heat. Heat.

[01:07:52]Heat. Heat.

[01:08:40]Oh, I was expecting that sudden drop Heat. Heat.

[01:09:19]Oh, I thought it was going to go heavy there.

[01:09:50]Heat. Heat.

[01:10:08]Heat up here.

[01:10:35]Heat.

[01:10:36]Heat.

[01:10:44]Heat. Heat.

[01:11:23]Heat up here.

[01:11:32]Heat.

[01:11:46]Heat.

[01:12:06]Heat. Heat.

[01:12:35]Is that the end?

[01:12:38]I think that's the end. Yes, it is. So, uh, there we have it. That was cool.

[01:12:46]powerful melodic rock backing track E minor from YT Jam tracks and that's YT in capital letters for YouTube. So, uh yeah, thank you Joe for sending me that and thank you guys for hitting the thumbs up to ensure that we did bust out the guitar and have a Phil jam for tonight. Right, we are going to be here with a video tomorrow night. Look out for that one. Um, it's gonna be a queen fest and oh yeah that I said it's going to be a queen fest I think because the video it might be longer than a normal kind of 15 or 20 minutes because yeah there's there's a lot to dive into. So yeah, look out for that tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. I'm going to be here with another live stream on Tuesday night. So look out for that. Um, yeah, if you could join me, that'd be great because we need as many thumbs up as we can get on the Tuesday night as well to then bust out the guitar and have another jam. But yeah, thank you guys for joining me tonight. And as I always say, the the only thing that's left for me to say is try to stay as safe and as sane as possible in this crazy world in which we live. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend and I'll catch you guys at the next video tomorrow night. See you then.

[01:14:07]Rock.
