I just woke up from a recording session with Johnny Cash and Jackson Browne. In my dream, Johnny and I had recorded together before and we’d done this song that I’d completely forgotten. It was by someone else famous in my dream I can’t remember…Norman Blake maybe. Anyway, Jackson launches into the song and tape is rolling and I can’t hit a right chord to save my life. Jackson’s hand is obscured so I can’t pick up the chord changes and Johnny, who I can see, who is sitting right next to me, frustratingly isn’t even playing. He’s peeling a piece of fruit and judging me. I woke up mortified but with this melody stuck in my head and the last line which was something like “don’t you live like ours”.
This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
I made this quick video the other day for a friend and figured I'd post it here as well. He wants to get started in slide, so I was quickly showing him some open tuning concepts to make the transition to slide a bit easier. Kind of like learning slide without a slide.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
