Quite literally, I would get through one fret, take the advice from the leprechaun in the sandbox, and burn the house down.

Hmmm...isn't 400 hours the standard waiting period to have a loved one committed to a mental hospital?

@CkMaverick"90% of the kids that play WoW have devoted alot more than 400 hours to the game..."Yes, but will they have achieved anything for their own kids to be proud of in years to come?

Just signed in to thank everyone for their comments about my late father's 'matchstickology' as he coined his art. I stumbled across dig.com by chance and was blown away when I viewed the heads up about the "world famous matchstick guitar." Don't take my word for it, the guitar is in a book about P. T. Barnum and the chapter is excerpted online.For those who wondered how the matchstick guitar sounded. The Rhinestone Cowboy himself, Glen Campbell said, "It's a marvellous work of art and as good as any conventional instrument I've played from this era." Photo of Glen and quote online.One of the world's greatest classical violinists of the 20th century Lord Yehudi Menuhin was astonished when I visited him at his London home to show the matchstick violin and bow. information online.The fourth instrument in the photo is a Neapolitan mandolin that was a popular back in the 1930s when my father made it. The mandolin today as sirspocksalot says is used alot, especially in bluegrass bands. Coincidentally, my own story that proves my father lived for more than 400 hours is on a bluegrass website.All the best,Tony Hall

Wow, that's pretty amazing and such great quality too! Yeah I'll take Glen's word for it - probably sounds pretty good, I would love to hear a quality sound sample online played in some bluegrass band! Thanks for the comment Tony, keep the 'matchstickology' living on!Stan<a class="user" href="http://www.myspace.com/bluegrassbands">http://www.myspace.com/bluegrassbands</a>
