If it’s good enough for Schoenberg, it definitely needs to be on Fretbase. While browsing through Schoenberg’s current inventory of new guitars (yes, we’ll use any excuse to pay a visit), we came across the Recording King ROJ-26. We were quite taken by its 000-size body, sunburst top and headstock shape – which reminds us [ ... ] ...

The Goosoniqueworx Seventhheaven Distortion pedal is an incredibly versatile pedal as you will see and hear in the demo above, when I saw the words High Gain distortion on the Goosoniqueworx website I’m afraid I foolishly assumed that this would be a one trick pony but I was very wrong. There are lots of knobs and switches but don’t let that scare you off it is very simple, normally a distortion pedal has a tone knob, well the Seventhheaven has a 3 band EQ so 3 of those knobs are for treble,

Buddy Guy has a birthday every year. In fact, he had a birthday last year. What more can be said about Buddy Guy? Not much, and I’m sure plenty of people will write blogs celebrating the guitar player Buddy Guys birthday anyway. Buddy is a lot more than a great guitar player to me. In [ ... ] ...

Ruthless Practice

Published July 30, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.

Earlier I wrote about whether or not practicing tremolo is worth the time. My answer was similar to how I approach all my practicing: ruthlessly. Your time, my friend, is valuable. Your practice time is even more valuable. You’re busy, and that hour or two of guitar each day is hard to fit in. Practice [ ... ] ...

About crisis. Not financial, not economical.Band crisis…

Published July 29, 2010 at 3:49 a.m.

These last days we (the band) got to a very interesting point…Costin, the lead singer told us that he would want to quit making music (not just the band). WTF?! Why? What happened? After all your life so far singing, making music, all of a sudden you decide to just stop. It doesn’t work like that, man! ... So, I (given the wisdom I am gifted with, of course) tried to grasp WTF is actually going on. One of my beliefs is that most of the issues in life when it comes to people is that their

Is Tremolo Worth the Time?

Published July 28, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.

Pete asks… Considering the amount of practice/drilling required to develop the technique and the amount of tremolo pieces available to play, do you think it is a worthwhile investment of practice time? Apologies if I am oversimplifying or just being lazy:) but this is the main reason I haven’t spent more time on it honestly. [ ... ] ...

We’ll admit that we haven’t stayed on top of the resonator guitar market as much as we should. Of course, resonator guitars have been built for over 80 years but for some reason it just hasn’t felt lately like we have seen a ton of new models. But every so often we see a resonator [ ... ] ...
