PS Shall I put it up?

@feeture1729 By all means .. I already have the whole thing on a DVD, but I'm sure others would be pleased to see it. You can already see the It Bites section in my videos but there's some other stuff on there, of course.

search 'twang bang kerang' on this very site for the whole programme

this was called 'twang, bang, kerang!'. the late 80s were very much the era of the 'rack' of processors, instead of the simple stomp boxes + amp. remember though, this was when synths ruled the airwaves, digital drums abounded and there were fears that the bass guitar would become obsolete - hence 5 and 6 string basses with a low B to compete with the range of synths. guitars had to go through 'fridge racks' to compete with synths. eventually realised guitars sound best like guitars!

Andy Summers is such an underrated guitarist. That's what I like about him - he's got chops and skills for day but his work with the Police is all about arrangement, restraint, and good taste.

I have been looking for this online for about 8 years! I came tantalisingly close once but the link didn't work. When I first started playing guitar twenty - five years ago, this doc was my bible and I watched it most days for a whole year. Sadly I lost the tape but always hoped I'd track it down. If you were considering putting it up then please do. Cheers.
