Random March Stuff
John Baker’s Roadmaster Deluxe is in the spray booth this month.
This great clip of Bill Frisell from August popped up on Youtube last week. Love this! My favorite Bond theme too.
These live Birdland clips of Frank Vignola’s Guitar Night are a treat. The piano player was missing last week so there’s a ton of great chord comping ideas from both guitar players. Most are beyond me, but I stole a couple of things. I’m finishing up a batch of archtop pickups like Pasquale’s for guitar builder Bryant Trenier at the moment. I’ll post some pics here so check back.
Ideas Over ‘A’ Boogie
I’ve had this simple rhythm track (snare drum w/brushes and acoustic guitar doubled recorded onto a Boss RC-1 pedal using a SM-57 type mic) on my loop pedal for a few weeks. Here’s two different takes. Both in the style of Speedy and Jimmy.
February Progress
I have some fun builds going at the moment. I’ll post progress pics here every few days. Thanks for checking in!
I love carving necks! .975″ to 1.0″ soft ‘V’ on the left and .895″ to .970″ ‘C’ on the right.
Pasquale Grasso – “I Cover the Waterfront”
I can’t get enough of Pasquale’s playing. I’m thrilled he’s using one of my ‘stick on’ blade pickups!
CCII Telecaster
I set up my shop tele with a CCII polepiece pickup, no bridge pickup, 500k volume and tone pots and Thomastik-Infeld JS-113 flatwounds. It’s a blast!
