Another Craig and John Jam
Today we were going to go to the Amigo guitar show but we were having such a good time playing that we decided not to. On the first jam Craig played my MiM ash Telecaster through Tonelib Deluxe sim with … Continue reading
Cordoba Mini II MH
I like to bring a guitar along on vacations, going to the beach, biking to the park, or hiking in the mountains. At first, I had a Martin Backpacker, one of the early ones with the small headstock. I liked … Continue reading

Hotone Mojo Diamond
A long time ago I bought a Crate VC 508, a 5 watt tube amp with an 8″ speaker, an amp that a colleague recently took for a long term unauthorized loan (long story). When I had the amp, I … Continue reading
SoundCloud
The folks on the telecaster discussion board are used to using SoundCloud to host the tracks they create for their Backing Track Challenge activity. Several told me that I would get more attention if I posted Soundcloud links instead of … Continue reading
