I enjoyed all three videos Neophyte! I was particularly impressed by Daniel. It's not easy arranging a piano song for guitar.  Well done!

Thanks - but someone else did the hard work, I just played it smile

I had a listen to your three songs as well, the Jimmy Buffet song really suited your style; nice and mellow, was perfect for when I was having my breakfast and morning coffee!! smile

Cheers

Richard

Hi, sorry to hear about your wife ... I'm still pretty new around here, so I'll substitute a "welcome back" with a "look forward to hearing more from you" ...

Which nuts would they be then; a new Ozzy band or are they to be found in the trouser department?  lol

Probably of the "pea" variety ...

This is a copy of the desk tape (back in the days of tape!!) that we got from one of our gigs in Fremantle - this was recorded back in 1994, and has audio quality that you would expect from that time.

http://neophytte.mine.nu/audio/mp3/Neon … 101294.mp3

I think we were intending to use a couple of these songs on the (never released) album, but the quality wasn't up to scratch ...

Cheers

It's hard top tell from the pic, but the neck looks pretty straight - if it hasn't been played for that long, usually I'll lemon-oil the fingerboard (depending on it's dryness, maybe twice, a week apart)  and if there is a large space between the strings and the 12th fret, tune it down to 'D' for a year or two, (so instead of EADGBe, go DGCFAd) with light strings, if the neck is buzzing, tune it up with heavy strings ... the old Yamahas also make good slide guitar with open tuning ...

A lot of drum patterns are the same for a lot of songs:

(bass) (snare) (bass) (bass) (snare) with an open high hat doing 8th notes above it ...

I nabbed the pic from this site, which I then looked around and there's some interesting stuff there ...

Do you have or use any of the products you showed?  Which one?

I've got two of these controllers:

http://neophytte1.mine.nu:81/photo/2009-09-28-guitar_photo_session/images/guitar_photo_session-010.jpg

Bass with GK-3B attached (although here it's running into a wireless then into the Line6 into the amp):

And a pic of my mate's kid playing the PRS controller:

Same guitar, but running as a guitar, not synth controller, when I was testing out a KLd tube amp:

https://scontent-syd2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1379692_10153346280015514_1867665588_n.jpg?oh=888f0379e4c6a6a0454c56ad0a88d120&oe=5AB0DF17

Somewhere I have some *really* old photos of the GR system up on stage - on an old 110 film camera, but it was big and bulky and it only make it to a couple of gigs ... the controller is a nice guitar, but heavy and a bit awkward to play ... I'll see if I can find the pics at home ...

I was going to convert this 24 pin controller to a 13 pin controller; it's not a hard mod to do, but I got bogged down in wanting to get a mural painted on the front - which ended up was going to cost more than the guitar, and the upgrade kit, and the GR55 put together:

Forgot I also added a GK-3B to my Hohner bass:

It was rather a tight fit:
