Awhile back, I posted a blog about mine and Justin’s trip to my amp tech to get a half power switch put into my Holland, so that I could drop it to 15 watts when necessary and hence be able to better enhance the worship music by not….. well…… let’s face it, if we’re honest we think our [...]

Rhythm….Time….Tem-po!
Posted in Uncategorized on August 28, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Remember that scene from Amadeus when Saliere is trying to get the king to play the musical piece on time, and he just can’t? And finally Saliere claps his hands on the correct beats and in time with those same beats states, “Tem-po!”
Ya. Absolutely imperative. I’m almost at the point where I’d rather someone play an E chord over [...]

Alright, as promised here’s the review of the Fulltone OCD. If you’re just joining this blog, I really like gear. I mean, really like it. Sometimes I just hold the pedals in my hands. I go to gigs with extra pedals just in my bag……no, like, they were sitting on my desk waiting to be sold, but I [...]
The Impasse (& Blog Psychology)
Posted in Uncategorized on August 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
