seymour duncan hot-rodded pickup replacement
April 30, 2009
Oops, I did it again! No, I didn’t do a Britney. I have re-installed the Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded pickups. After months of missing that tone, I replaced my old pickups with these pups on my Onyx Les Paul copy. And the results, pure tonal bliss. The bridge is really sharp and crisp while the neck pickup is warm and ‘Jazzy’. Incidentally, I found out that I actually had DiMarzio pickups. Interesting. I have attached a video I made during the pickup ’surgery’. Enjoy!

Learn guitars e-books
April 3, 2009
Hello guys,
Throughout my internet adventures, I have come across these fine e-books which teaches you to play the guitar well. Check them out:
1) Jamorama
From the site
“Ever wish that you could jam along with a band? Like to know how to get started?
Learning how to play guitar is like learning how to speak a language. The more you listen to, imitate and play along with professionals, the better you’ll get.
Look, NO ONE likes sitting alone for days and days practicing boring drills just to see a slight improvement in their playing. If you’re like I used to be, chances are that’s exactly what you’re doing. Well, I want to tell you about something I discovered that transformed my own playing abilities…
It’s called contextual learning and it’s why I have developed the Jamorama Jam Track system. I strongly believe in the importance of learners playing and jamming along as soon as possible, putting what they are learning to use.
Unlike other courses that use computer based music for play-along practice sessions, I have personally selected some of the best professional musicians, and we have recorded and produced these quality Jam Tracks so YOU can jam with the Jamorama band.
After using my successful Jam Track system you will be fully ready to start jamming with your OWN band… Now with everything you’re getting, perhaps you are wondering…”
