Sad that we didn't quite make the video interview we planned . It would have been a chuckle!

Sad news..... I bought the second edition of his book quite a while back. It planted the idea about building guitars but it was only an idea until I found Bailey’s Guitars.

@jonhodgson - you & me both (buying it). I'd registered a few months ago (his website, IIRC) to be informed when it's released. From all that I'd heard, his contributions to the book were done, ...

@tv1 It is a shameI think I'll be buying that third edition, I don't know if he's leaving family behind that it will help, but the original was a part of the journey that brought me here to this forum...

Is there any information on what happened? I believe it was cancer. He'd been struggling for a while, but had hoped to see the 3rd edition of his book finished and published. Sadly, he didn't make it...

Is there any information on what happened? I can't find any mention, the last post on his facebook page from 11 days ago about the imminent release of the third edition of his classic book.

Thanks @tv101 and @everyone !! I've been forgetting to ask this for months 🙂

@everyone As the guys said on today's stream, adding comments to YT (which you can only do after the stream has completed) really helps them with the YT algorithm, and getting better rankings for Mark...

We're talking to our TV expert Steve about how to improve the lighting - some of the shots a bit dark but apart from that pretty chuffed! It will be interesting to see if Darren can come up with a sel...

that was one of the most terrifying livestreams so far... I was hiding behind the sofa for part of it. 😉 Tackling a job like that, LIVE, takes some balls. Getting it all perfectly right, in a...

@markbailey Thanks guys - that was one of the most terrifying livestreams so far.. That went very well today Mark, you made it look so easy, there was so much that could've gone wrong.

Thanks guys - that was one of the most terrifying livestreams so far...

Totally brilliant session - is this man talented!!!!

Hi Darren. Fantastic idea and a great alternative to the SM buffer for people with limited space and the predicted budget certainly makes it affordable. Have you thought about any "give" in the speed ...

Good job. Wooden control knobs. Nice touch.
