Cheers Ritchie. It's the recording package/set up I've not really got to terms with yet (I'll confess, i'm not a technohead). Only been at the mixing thing for a couple of weeks properly, so when it comes together eventually it'll be fine. I'm not too arsed about the whole technique thing as I'm not...

Original Piece- War Crimes

Hope you like it.

It's a rock piece in memory of all our troops who fought (and continue to) for freedom.

Instrumental Blues piece I'm working on at the moment. Still to add some more, then bass/drums and mix it down properly.

Thanks very much Matt.

It's not quite in the same league as your playing...... !!

The classical stuff you've done is mind boggling as I started on a nylon 6 string finger-shredder originally......Ouch.

Me and a mate of mine messing around. He recorded the rhythm stuff and mine is the discordant soloing.......Just an MP3 file. Just so you know, any of the "whammy bar" sounds are just from string bending and slides, no weird tricks or Floyd Rose stuff here... http://mp3upload.ca/download/2...

Original protest song

This is my first written song (yes, I sing- badly).

I hate the way our Government is forcing a shit future on us in the UK......

Four strummed, acoustic chords and a bad voice....... :shock:

Daily warm up routines...What's yours?

This is mine........Don't expect Eruption or a John Petrucci style routine, it's just a mad thrash that lets my fingers get accustomed to movement in chromatic scales, pentatonics, tapping, arpeggios (yuk), blues bends/squeals and vibrato (critical at my age....!!!) before I tackle anything more.......

Video- Various Les Pauls test. Epi, Chinese copies, Gibson

I made these videos in the hope that they'll help some of the newbies (who knows, maybe others too), to see what the tone of the Epi Goth, John Connolly Signature, Guy Tyler, Keiper Les Pauls are like when compared back-to-back with Gibsons (vintage and relatively new). Playing is VERY questionable ...

The problem I have with the "it's business, not personal" mentality is that the moment you hire someone to work for you it becomes personal because you are now helping that person secure the future of their family. Many - not all - business owners don't care about their employees and do s...

Hi Tedeeoo. I wasn't insinuating that you don't know your stuff, so accept my apologies if I've offended you. I have owned Peavey guitars and they have been great instruments for very little cash, so I concur with the production statement. But the bigger picture means the company has to cover itself...
