Gidday,

I`ve got tickets to see Tommy E  next week,really looking forward to it.

Has anyone caught him in concert lately?

also Kenny Rogers is touring here @ the moment,thought about going
but i find it hard to look @ him(all that plastic surgery)
Think i`ll give him a miss!

Gidday,

can u beat this?

The Chi-Lites  / homely girl.       late seventies song

Must have broken your poor little heart
When the boys used to say you look better in the dark

Gidday,
wonder if you can help me.
Is there a site i can get chords & lyrics(like chordie) but with a basic backing track eg, bass & drums
I can play along with a recording. But when i`ve played along to just backing tracks i tend to get
a little lost.

Your help much appreciated.
Brian

They're shiny, eye-catching and hold a great tune.

And a leading academic has described the process involved in producing his state-of-the-art guitars as "the next industrial revolution".

Olaf Diegel – a professor based at Massey University's School of Engineering and Advanced Technology – has produced a series of prototypes of 3D-printed electric guitars.

Also known as additive manufacturing, 3D printing is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file using a printer that deposits layers of plastic or metal powder, with each layer fused by a precision laser beam.

"The whole purpose is customisation and trying to avoid waste," Diegel said.

"It's the next big thing in manufacturing, because you can create to order and modify the design to suit specific individual requirements, whether it's for a new set of teeth, a door handle or a piece of jewellery.

"It's the next industrial revolution and it's going to completely change the way we do things.

"New Zealand, a country largely made up of small companies making high-value products, can benefit enormously from these technologies, as they will be able to go to market with products without the current prohibitive tooling costs that often prevent them from getting their ideas off the ground."

The guitar's manufacturing process is already used for high-end customised products and medical parts such as artificial hips, hearing aids and dental fittings.

Diegel's faculty has several desktop 3D printers, which students use for small-scale engineering prototype projects.

Gidday,

I`m thinking of getting a sound hole pick up for my acoustic guitar.
Have you got one? what do you think of it?
What is a good brand.
