Man, my āWhat did you get for christmasā thread barely got 30 replys last year, this one went nuts and has doubled that already. so cool.
Santa was busy with all these great guitar and music gifts. We are all so stoked.
I can sense a year coming full of music making and cool use of what we found in our stockings.
As it always seems to be, once one get a little deeper in the art, we suddenly find our selves in need of new tools of the trade. I am going to send my bearded snowboarding, sleigh riding buddy, a slow snail mail that should arrive in March, after a nice 2 months off. It will let him know to get thoes elves working and building for next year, so none of us are dissapointing.
@MartinCS Checked out a little that brand and it looks like they have similar approach. Small company with luthier specialist doing the job they love. Great looking guitars.
Thank you for the recommendations. Sadly however, the triplegraph isnāt available for this (Europe) region? Iām getting a 404ā¦
The jhs pedals are also great, especially the dunlop one.
Iām thinking of ordering one and if i donāt like it, send it back. Thereās not enough shops around (at least here) anymore to try lots of pedals before you buy.
Right now, itās down to the jhs one, the micropog and the mxrā¦
Those Tolkien books will keep you busy!
The Silmarillion is probably the easiest of the back-story to middle-earth, and doesnāt cause too many headaches (there are some good stories in there) but make sure you arenāt too tired when you read the others - they take some brain power to stay with
Maybe, if I had chosen a looper, I would probably have bought a smaller one with less features included ā¦ and regretted it later on .
I already spent some time with this new toy and my first loops were all wonky. However, I already see some progress, so there is hope that Iāll get the hang of it What Iām also struggling with presently, is the perfect setup with all those cables - although on the photo it doesnāt look too bad.
Now I get back to āloopingā and wish you all fun with your new toys!
Iāve worked through the headaches already, and Iāll do it again.
The only books in that photo that I havenāt read yet are The Fall of Numenor and The Nature of Middle Earth. I am a huge Tolkien nerd.
Erion dude. That Behrernger Flow is a good little unit. There was a discussion about those in my pedal building community. Becarful of the power supply just because its āmicroā usb power and be sure to update the drivers to the most recent as they will most likley be loaded with old ones.
Edit, Fixed sentence about the power supply cord. auto correct did something odd.
Thanks Jason.
I did some research regarding the type of mixer to get and that seemed like a very good option. Thereās a series of videos on YouTube by a guy called Drew Brashler who goes into a lot of detail about how to set these things up. I was surprised to see how much you can do with them. Mine should arrive within the next few days. Iāll take it for a spin on the next open mic.
@Justh33 Awesome!
I just sat down, tuned, plugged in and hit some reverbā¦
Oh my god. The bar chords are here so easy! I cant even explain how much easy. I can see I will noodle around a lot with this one! Just trying different chords how they sound in orderā¦ hitting random melody notes with slap. I am in love.
Perfect! Now do what I did: tune to Open G, remove the low E string, and learn every Stones (Richards) and Led Zepplin songs in Open G. I love the ease of play (Iām 73 and have arthritis in both hands - 50 years of karate training will do that) and the musicality of Open G.
Believe it or not, when doing rake bends I sometimes touch the low E string, quite annoying. Doesnāt happen with my Les Pauls. Yes, Fender has a narrower neck. Right away I thought of Keeve!
so cool.

What Iām also struggling with presently, is the perfect setup with all those cables - although on the photo it doesnāt look too bad.
