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.
This is why I will NEVER buy another front-load washing machine, unless it's industrial grade!
This video won't go live until Saturday morning. I figure Saturday and Sunday mornings are pretty good times for long-form videos because people are probably settling in with a coffee somewhere, maybe doing a hobby, or having breakfast, so they aren't in doom scrolling mode just yet. But for my Locals peeps, I'll give you the link early in case you got more time on Friday. Don't say I never did anything for ya! ;)
