Check this out. I found this arc lamp rectifier, presumably mercury filled, at an antique store recently. Ain't it cool? (Scroll right to see all the photos.)
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.
I'm in the process of creating the demo for an upcoming video on a 1974 Fender Twin Reverb. This is the point where I'm editing the video and audio layers all together with green screening. The studio-captured audio is not added yet. This is just a rough video mix with the RAW camera guide audio for the drums and guitar ONLY! So this is what the drums and rhythm guitar are sounding like in the room by themselves with no close miking and no post processing (other than a bit of compression and EQ). I am actually kind of shocked how good this is sounding even though one of the camera mics (the one for the drums) is from a DJI Action Cam and the other (for the guitar) is a Panasonic camcorder mic. Usually when making this kind of demo, the raw camera mic audio acts as a guide when lining up video clips on the editing timeline and then gets deleted from the final timeline before publishing. In some cases, I will even mix in a hint of the raw camera microphones with the studio mix to give ...
Hey guys! Hope everyone is hanging in there and getting geared up for the Christmas season.
I mentioned a week or so ago that I had major surgery on 10/30. I’m still on lifting restrictions for about another 3–4 weeks, after which they’ll do a CT scan to make sure everything has stayed in place and that I didn’t pull a hernia.

Now that we’ve received the pathology report, so much has been confirmed, and we truly believe this was nothing short of a miracle. Thirteen years ago I was told that, although they didn’t understand why I was sick, I should expect to be sick for the rest of my life and that they would do their best to manage my symptoms as the disease chewed through my pancreas. Today they understand why—despite everything they had done—I kept getting worse. They’ve identified the likely cause that had been hiding in plain sight for probably close to 15 years!
I don’t understand ...
