I’ve been slowly improving the last few days. The pain in my back and arms is not quite as bad as it has been. Hopefully i can start getting videos out again for everyone to enjoy soon. I was able to pick up and play guitar last night for longer than a minute for the first time in a little while. So i took advantage and practiced for several hours. Felt good to do it, although by the end of the session, my left arm was in a good deal of pain. Having it extended outward is what hurts. I can play longer higher up the fretboard than down low. Been watching the mews on DOGE and I am excited about what’s happening in my country. The head of a corrupt snake is being sawed off and its body is thrashing around. If Trump doesn’t get assassinated, or Elon Musk, it’ll be a miracle. The corrupt politicians are all but calling for it. If you’re one of these people who doesn’t get why DOGE is absolutely necessary to drain the swamp, watch this :
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.
Are you going to be making a big video of your trip to your buddy's? Seems like a treasure trove.
I think he may be onto something with phase matching in that weird network. If they just wanted to cut gain wouldn't they just put in a voltage divider? What amp is that? Curiosity has got me on that one.
When I built my 'Prince of Darkness' amp I copied the front end of an ancient Gibson amp and I gotta say, it sounds really good.
