Thanks man, very kind! Ben

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Thanks very much! Let me know how you get on with making one!

Thank you, too kind! I thought it was only fair to show a bit of luck was needed in the way it cracked. Thanks again, Ben.

Ha, cheers! If chopping the tops off of bottles had been in the curriculum, I might have gotten a better grade!

Thanks very much, very kind. Obviously not in a judgmental way, it's just always tasted awful to me. Apparently people have told me you have to push past that, but I never got that far! Haha!

@@BenFletcherGuitar I respect you for not drinking because you don't like the taste, there's people who doesen't like either but drink it aniway for "social pressure" purposes. But maybe if you try the more suggary kinds you'll like it. Try some with hooney flavour or with a flavour more citric that might be a good transition to you. But aniways, you're healthier than most of us hahaha, you're not losing anything actually. Nice talking to you dude.

Thank you, Magnus! Greatly appreciated.

Thanks, man!

Thanks, man!

Thanks, man!

Thank you! Good idea, but the one I had was nowhere near big enough to go around the bottle. It was an old design though, kind of a cast block with a cutting disc that you screw down. The hole had a very limited size range for the pipe (which sounds dirty!).

Thanks, man!

Thanks, man!

Thanks man, very kind!

Cool! It's a fun thing to do. How did it turn out?

How did it turn out ?

@@BenFletcherGuitar I guess he died It's been six months

Thank you!

May have been a touch overkill, ha! Thanks, man. It's a standard from 07, so it's one of the undesirable hollow ones. It was also refinished by the previous owner in a thin nitro, but much better looking colours than the slightly more gaudy original paint I think. Ben.

Thanks, man! No you're right it doesn't, but if I'd left it like that, I'd always know. Haha!

@@BenFletcherGuitar I tried it out. And it works really well. But now I know what you mean, the first one is always a prototype 😅 looks like an organ pipe or a broken funnel

They don't make them like they used to, I need some 'vintage' beer bottles!

Or a mic stand?!?!

@@iaineccleston8790 Haven't tried a mic stand, but I think I'll need a hotter kettle...

@@BenFletcherGuitar or a chainsaw...would be awfully jaggy though, might help get that Mike Bloomfield slide sound 🤣

@@iaineccleston8790 The 'making of' video, would make for a KZfaq viral hit though!

Yes, I found more extreme heat can shatter it pretty indiscriminately, but the concept is going from hot to cold, but rapidly, however you want to achieve that. You can score it by hand, I just struggled to get it to stay square and join back up with where I started. You might have more luck though. Maybe try and rotate the bottle on a work surface up against a wall, so that it can't slide back and forth. Ben

@@BenFletcherGuitar thank you so much

Long time since I made this video, as I remember it was just a straight ahead shuffle on this one? I make all the tracks from scratch for my videos, so it's some kind of drum loop and then I play everything else on to them with varying degrees of complexity. No name sorry. I'd give you a download link for it, but I've lost the file to this project, sorry mate. Ben

I just had to watch this back, because I couldn't even remember what type of jam I'd put in this video! I'm in standard tuning by the looks, but everything is down a semitone. I believe I'd also be in drop-d (so drop D flat) but in the bits I watched I didn't actually use it, so I'm not sure! So if your guitar was tuned to standard, you'd be in D flat and if you were down a half step you'd be in D (like I am). Hope this helps, Ben.

Very flattering! Thank you. I think I'm in standard tuning, but with a low D on the bottom, but...I've tuned all of that down a half step, so standard tuning in E flat with a low D flat. Hope that makes sense! I have no idea why I've done that, I probably didn't realise when I made the guide track! Thanks again, Ben.
