Still in bed and afraid to get up after that 
Well I trashed my index finger putting together the new redecorated home office so I cant guitar much, so pretty much that!
Office looks great tho!
Working on a very basic version of āKnockināon heavenās doorā for tomorrowās in person guitar lesson.
Itās going fine and finally I started to like playing with picks. Lots of ragweed in the air however against which I am apparently highly allergic. Meaning singing the song approx. as nasally as Mr. Zimmerman himself is not a problem at the moment.
So I guess my day is going fine 
I just rewatched that six times 
Much better now, thank you 
Same for me!! Canāt stop laughing!
Thanks Clint, itās much better now.

Not bad, not bad at allā¦ Itās now early afternoon here where I live, and most of the morning I played my HB JA-69 (a Jazzmaster clone), and found a lovely setting in my modeller/multieffect, reminding me of the best surf timesā¦ Therefore Iām now trying to render the full lead guitar line to one of the most beautiful instrumental tunes (IMHO), namely āAtlantisā by Hank Marvin of The Shadows.

Iāve got similar ideas, same guitar but mine now has a Guyker trem system on it, it works really well for nice wobbles but not really for dive bombing things!
I canāt make my mind up between Theme for young lovers or Apache, never thought about Atlantis hmmmmmā¦ā¦
Anyway, this is what she looks like now!

Just the thing I needed this morning, Iām glad Iād finished drinking my coffee
An awesome setup, no questionā¦ Iām sure you can get any surf sound you want from it. There was something really special to the sound of bands like The Shadows or The Ventures.
I donāt know if youāve heard āAtlantisā played by Mark Knopfler (aaaah!); it can be found on YT. I joke that the two great guitarists decided to swap tunes, because Hank Marvin recorded the āGoing Homeā theme

Yeah, itās great for so many different styles. I saw a big potential in that guitar and have now spent more on it than it cost (I got it on a Black Friday B stock sale for Ā£99! Itās now got Roller string trees, Graphtec nut, a Roller bridge and the Guyker trem. I also replaced the output jack and the Pots / Caps, plus used shielding paint in all of the cavities and back of the pick guard, at the moment the pickups are standard but I might get some Irongear P90ās in the future.

The stock pickups in my JA-60 are something like the original JM pickups, not P-90s (my guitar is from the newer CC series, in Lake Placid blue, I love it), and Iām not going to replace them, but I have replaced the tuning machines with a set of original Fenders. Oh, BTW, I really like those vintage-type tuners with a slot and a string canal going down the string postā¦
