What does guitar sound like in a nuke reactor?
Plus, never break strings at your bridge again!
Rona’s gonna rone, plus a quick thought on new Devin Townsend
Welp, after all these years, the rona finally got me. I knew something was up after trick-or-treating with my kids this Monday, and feeling like I was on fire with a fever. Sure enough, after a quick rapid test I got the dreaded double line. Maybe in hindsight I shouldn’t have picked the plague doctor mask as my costume?
Throughout the week I had about zero energy, and felt pretty miserable. One of the only things that did keep me entertained was doing what I usually do, catching up on my form of TV - watching YouTube guitar videos.
And while I wasn’t up to playing guitar myself, I did still put together a list of some of the videos I’ve been checking out. No commentary this week, as I’m trying to take it easy, but I didn’t want to leave you readers without a newsletter.
Also, there’s been SO much great, new music coming out lately. I’ve been a fan of Devin Townsend for a couple of years at this point, really getting into his Transcendence and Empath albums. Well, his new “Lightwork” album is equally as amazing, and produced incredibly well. Some truly movie-esque production work going on here. You can check out that album here.
Alright, I’m going to go back to some relaxation time. Hope to be back with a full newsletter next weekend. If you have any great guitar stuff to share with me, or any nice comments in general, please reply to this email or comment on Substack!
