Alright, Fediverse, let's talk Tubescreamers. I got asked a question regarding the famous FS "hump" which got sent down a rabbit hole of measurements and guess what, YOU get to benefit from my hyperfixation. "tbg," you ask, "how do you have time for this with your job, and kid, and touring?" I FUCKING DON'T, SHUT UP AND READ THE THREAD AND DON'T TELL MY BOSS
(Also, apologies, no alt text, but I describe each pic in the post)
Placed an order for a new #electricguitar! I've long wanted to go back to headless guitars, and after playing #kiesel for a few years I decided to stay with them and get a Neck-Through 7-String Vader.
Configurator doesn't allow HSH pickups with neck through, but this is what I got on my order over phone. Partly because of the Easter discount, but also because I enjoyed single pickups on the Ibanez Ichi.
Build times for Kiesel are currently 14-18 weeks, will report when it is completed!
8 string guitars do have their uses if you are into heavier music: https://soundcloud.com/samebird/thump . I didn't polish this too much, but it was very fun to record!
"Hotel California" a song by American rock band the #Eagles, released as the second single of their album of the same name on February 22, 1977. Songwriting credits go to #DonFelder (music), #DonHenley, and #GlennFrey (lyrics). The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing lead vocals and concludes with an iconic 2 minute and 12 seconds long #electricGuitar solo performed by Felder with a #GibsonEDS1275DoubleNeck. https://youtu.be/09839DpTctU

What Would JIMI HENDRIX Have Done With Modern Guitar Technology? - KIRK HAMMETT, BRUCE KULICK, STEVE VAI And Others Weigh In
Jamming on #ElectricGuitar. I don't think I've ever shared anything where I went more #jazzy. I did a four bar comping loop and then started playing over it. Spot the exchange notes, because apparently I'm subconsciously still thinking in dromoi/makam.
This is all played with just fingers. Plus… Show of hands, please, if you don't believe this is played on a #telecaster. In combination with my fingers, it's been described as the warmest sounding tele ever. #Music#jazz#improvisation#guitar
Curious what everybody feels about electric guitar strings! I want to try a set of Elixir strings. I like Ernie Ball regular slinky. Super slinky too. D’Addario (so?) have nice resonance but to me there is some uneven balance in tone and some muddiness in the lower ranges. #gearsquad#guitar#strings#electric#gear#ElectricGuitar
Some new music as the days shorten and the shadows gather at the edges of life. I hope this will be the first of many similar works, and I hope too that you enjoy it if you have a chance to listen.
Available free or pay what you like. Boosts would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone else build guitar pedals? Been enjoying some of the weirder ones lately. Hoping to do a video where I run synths through them, but here's some guitar noodling
I am looking to upgrade my guitar but I can’t come to a concrete decision. I currently play an Epiphone Wildkat Studio which I have enjoyed thoroughly, but I feel as though a different instrument would allow me to broaden my range further. It’s a very bluesy guitar with a beautiful fat and clean sound, so I’m looking for...
both dumbfounding & deeply unsurprising that the total-fucking-godhead brainmelter big muff pedals from the 90s were designed by a trans woman, Fran Blanche.
I've thought for a while that a certain kind of dysphoria requires those sorts of tones for psychic nourishment.
Q1 Hello Makers! Say hi, and tell us what you’ve been up to this week. #MakersHour
A1: #MakersHour Hello, I’m Alfred and I have been finishing the trusses at @CleavleyWorks, and clearing up a fallen tree branch after Monday’s sudden storm. Also been doing maintenance in Manchester.
This is probably ten times slower than how it sounds on the record, but my first day learning the intro and guitar solo for 'Is That Love?' by #Squeeze. I can only improve from here (hopefully). 🙏
Trying out #guitars at #mudpiemusic in #Brighton - a great selection but this lovely USA-built #G&L #ASAT in an alluring shade of green caught my eye and felt great to play.
When I got home, I had to give my butterscotch 1999 ASAT some attention so it doesn't get jealous 🤣
“Did You Listen to This?” part IV: Just now, I released my song “Time Out” (from the album “Make Me Do”) in a freshly mixed version. It is to remind us how important it is to relax, do nothing, watch the wandering clouds, simply exist in the Here and Now.
Looking for a new sound and can’t quite land anywhere
