Re: 2 Original Demo (8 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Well done Curt both are good strong songs and I too feel a little Neil Young influence there however being totaly constructive in my comments I must say that for me there is a little too much distortion on home of the brave I would like to hear the guitar cleaned up a littlle but if it was your intention to have a dirty acoustic sound then ok its still a good song ,keep em coming

Re: Talk To Me Of Pedals, My Gurus And Gurettes (14 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
As I've progressed my pedal board has got smaller ,In the uk if Im using a shared back line I select a clean channel and use an old boss be5 4 effect pedal distortion /compression /chorus /delay. If I use my own am I use a line 6 spider with the 4 channels programmed to clean /twang/ overdrive and overdrive with delay ,same applies to my greek set up except I use 4 separate joyo pedals instead of the boss with a shared back line .For my solo set I add a boss rc2 looper and a zoom multi pedal for the drum loops both modified with external switches for ease of control. Occasionally I use a wah wah too but recently not .

Topic: Cigar box guitar (6 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
New project started today I found a cheap cigar box in an antique shop today so I thought it time I stretched my carpentry skills
Next I need to find a suitable piece of hard wood for the neck . This will be three string and fret less and I'll probably wind my own pickup as well .I think it should be made as cheap as possible it all adds to the style and appeal of an instrument like this.
