Things I learned this weekend....

• Strats go out of tune when you put two capos on them
  
• My amp really does sound like a Hiwatt on 10 when you crank it
  
• Turning the amp up when you can't hear yourself:
  
  
  
  • makes you play better
    
  • makes you able to play more subtly (this one is NOT obvious)
    
  • DOESN'T necessarily make you play subjectively louder (nor is this)
    
  • actually helps the PA guys
    
  
  
• Sometimes it's really nice just to stand in the background and let someone else have the limelight
  
• Telepathy does exist, if you play with the same rhythm section long enough
  
• When I grow up, I want to be Jeff Bohnhoff
