Toby Keith died, losing his battle with stomach cancer. Here's your controversial opinion of the day... I consider myself a pretty based person. I'm a Christian. I'm an American patriot. I'm a nationalist. I'm classical liberal. But, I was never a fan of the type of warhawk bravado that Toby Keith represented in songs like "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" off the album "Shock n Y'all". Obviously I didn't wish the guy was dead, but 9/11 was an inside job and the dumbing down of complex geopolitical issues into black and white messages of good guys vs bad guys and mindless hero worship in the post-9/11 world wasn't something I was ever very interested in. I think it appeals to those with low IQs and no critical thinking skills.
However, I do like "Should've Been a Cowboy". That's a GREAT song, dripping with nostalgia for a time America has irrevocably lost, and it's a pining sentiment I can definitely share. I wish the man a restful and peaceful trip into eternity. Here's a song ...
In this video, I put on the cloak of a preacher and talk about why the modern state of Israel spoken about in Genesis 12 is NOT the same as the modern state of Israel we see today and why this idea that we should never oppose Israel is a false teaching. I will back my argument up with Christian scripture. This is something I've never attempted to do before - offer up a Biblical teaching. I do not feel qualified at all. In fact, I am probably one of the least qualified preachers on earth. But maybe that's why you should listen anyway. If you have more to add, or if you have a rebuttal, feel free to comment. I'm all ears and willing to learn more.
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.
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???
