Again trying wiring based on a humbucker pickup. This time with results. Instead of stacking the two piezo they are side by side. One facing up the other down. Wired as shown below and directly to an output jack.
Ya, it's been a long time. I want to get three done. This is the hardest of all three. Thought it would be awesome to get the fun one first. This will be a piezo semi hollow guitar.
The guitar will be made in four layers. The top is 1/4 ply. The seco
I saw some of this movie last night on a channel called 'Comet'. I recognized Bo Diddlley right off the bat. His character's name is 'Guitar Man' and he plays in Rockula's band. Toni Basil of "Micky" fame plays the vampire's mother. The villain is pl
A bit about myself. I have relative pitch. This is a step below perfect pitch. What relative pitch is. If I hear a note I automatically know the distance and pitch of every note. So unlike perfect pitch I have to hear a note first. I do know some pit
Was watching his show last night. Well sort of watching and working on something. Anyway someone made him a cigar box guitar and he featured it on his s
Worked my first day back on nights last night. Finally! So here's how the story goes. Years ago i was on 2nd shift. LOVED it! Then I was told to go to first. Not happy but had no choice. Then, after a few years on first, I was told I had a job I didn
I have a love hate relationship with my circular saw. It's the first one I bought. Used it for years. But the thing is flimsy. It has a base with rounded ends. These rounded sides make it impossible to use a straight edge. I'm lucky to get this thi
Snow is something you expect. Dangerous but can be dealt with using common sense and caution. Ice is something you can’t do anything about. The only common sense and caution you have is to stay off of it. And we’re expected to get up to a 3/4 of an i
Thinks are changing. And for me for the better. I’ll have to start this story off by going back a bit in time. And I’ll try to keep this all as short as a story covering 10+ years can get. Have to mention this is a story about my job. If you want the
I’ve belonged to many internet forums from the early 90’s on. Everything from science to Paranormal investigation. I think I can honestly say I’ve seen it all. Well, in this case, read it all. Watched huge forums of 1000’s of active users vacate in a
Here's the story. I have a name. Within my full name there is a unique spelling for the middle name. There is a very famous off road racer. With lots of wins in his long and very prolific carrier. He also has a name. With the VERY same odd middle nam
Steampunk, kind of hard to pin down. A good as any explanation. Sci-fi with Victorian era esthetics. With some of the craziest music. As if Eastern Europe invented California surf and played it with 1920's swing with all the energy of 1970's rock. An
As most of you know I love going to geek conventions. Went to Archon last weekend. St Louis’s oldest fan run sci-fi and fantasy convention. Celebrating their 40th. Had a BLAST! Got to meet someone I’m a big fan of. “Evil Ted Smith” He’s done movie mi
Spent the day at the St Louis Renaissance Fair. Had a BLAST! Met a lot of great people. Seen some great shows. And again my main draw is music. There was one performer who, for me stood out. Apryl Knight. She was sitting in her own tent. Would play f
There are threads like these in most all the forums I belong to. Even though most of the forums are not music related. They usually turn into monsters. Thought it would be cool to start one here. An ongoing thread of everyone's latest music finds.
First I’d like to point out I’m on a mac. Hope this works the same on Windows.
I do some research. I use the internet quite a bit for this. Including youtube. Youtube loves to automatically decide what channels I’d be interested in. Needless to say t
80? 90? More? I can’t be the only one…. Am I? Try to recored a simple rough vid of a song. Only to end up messing up the playing. Or words. How do you mess up the words to your own song? Apparently I’m good at that. Stopping and saying #@$% might be
