He is risen!

My double-neck instrument turned out better than I had hoped!

The Easter long weekend isn't over yet and the project has completed, aside from curing the liquid nails.

I had a set of Artist branded single coils from a better guitar that went with the brand names on the headstocks, as well as new split pickups for bass.

When gluing the bodies together I became concerned about the space between the necks, which brought the mahogany garden stakes next to me into focus.

The stake through the heart of the guitar monster is evocative, so I wiped back the black paint along the seam.

Easter long weeeekend

In the spirit of sacrifice and working to bring together opposing players, I wish you and yours all the best!

Happy weekend!

Thinking about trying this

Body, neck and guard

My next guitar is taking shape

If you wanna be

 

Naviarhaiku638 – darkness cocoons

The poem shared by Naviar Records this week comes from Wagga, where Anne joined the Stay Cool workshops.

I've taken to the idea that silence disappears, using a pedal to loop the ukulele.

New album: Bout

Last year I searched through files from previous years to compile my first album since 2021. 

A lot has happened since then, and the music was diverse and a challenge to sequence for my new album: BOUT  

It was part of a bigger project to gain skills in mastering audio that was supported by a Country Art Support Program grant from Western Riverina Arts and Create NSW through financial assistance from the NSW Government.

Disquiet Junto 0743 Make It Happen

Since watching a video of Angine de Poitrine I have been wanting a double neck guitar.

Then I remembered that guitar and bass can sound really conventional together. 

So I have used an electric ukulele and a Chase Bliss Habit pedal with bass. 

I've been saving these

 

Throw the towel in

Yesterday my youngest asked how to make the drums sound better.

Aside from showing him how to use the tuning key, I mentioned Ringo's recording technique.

Now it looks like washing on a rainy day and sounds like Lars' cardboard boxes on Justice For All to me, but my son was into it and played solidly for about an hour.
