Bill Frisell – Tiny Desk Concert

Guitarify — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:45:38 +0000

Bill Frisell has a very unique style. The spaces between the notes seem as equally considered as those he chooses to play. When he performs with his quintet, the spaces he creates get filled in, making it feel diluted to me. His style comes through the strongest when it’s just him and his guitar. The [...]

Hacking a Tune-O-Matic Bridge Onto a 60′s Hagstrom 3

Guitarify — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:59:58 +0000

So I bought this really cool Hagstom 3 from the local vintage guitar show a while back. Being focused on the sound and playability and having never really looked at this model before, I failed to notice that the bridge wasn’t original. Not a big deal really, as I don’t buy old guitars for their collect-ability, [...]

So this is different. Seymour Duncan has announced something called “The Secret Room”. It’s a password protected site for guitarists, where the way you get invited in, is to give them one of your secrets. Once that velvet rope is down, you get access to all the other secrets inside. Some supposedly by pro musicians, [...]

Rock Prodigy:Guitar – Free for this week only

Guitarify — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:29:41 +0000

This is another iOS app that’s currently free, though it normally is only $0.99. The promotion did have it’s intended effect on me, having me download it and check it out. Basically, it’s sort of like RockSmith. With the usual stream of numbers coming down the fretboard that you have to play in sync. It [...]

Fender Pawnshop “Excelsior” & “Greta” Amps

Guitarify — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:30:17 +0000

Fender has been spewing out a staggering amount of new gear for NAMM. I’ve been trying to just hit the highlights so that Guitarify doesn’t start looking like “Fenderify”. But these new amps are just too cool to pass up. The Machete I posted a few days ago was pretty unexpected, but I think these [...]
