Who else goes well on good old Tom Petty's music? Who else goes well on good old Tom Petty's music? 🙂 The guitars in Tom Petty's Learning To Fly. How a simple arrangement can sooth the ears. On YT, I've put a detailed explanation on the parts, and how the arrangement in this track is build up. Link in bio. Just love good old Tom Petty's music! #tompettyandtheheartbreakers #guitarcover #rockandroll #itstoohotforlongsleeves #gibsonp90 #geardoesnotmatter #justplay #stopgearsluttingnow
The cat dragged in this wonderful little Fender ‘600 amp’ from 1952. 🍀 That’s PRE-Tweed era! Super cool little amp with it’s 6SJ7 metal preamp tube and the early 5C1 circuit. 📺 Check out the cool details on the cabinet such as the little button that holds the baffle, and the vinyl & fabric that’s on it. 👌 It may have seen a little moisture somewhere in the past, but this thing is 72 years old…🕰️ …and…it’s still running on it’s original Astron filter capacitors, which are leaking and expired. Hell, perhaps everything is expired in this…⌛️😉 It still works sounds beautiful though! Tired, but warm, dynamic and balanced. Old RCA 6sj7 and 5y3, and a vintage Tung-Sol 6v6 🙏 I would describe the 5C1 Champ circuit as somewhat dark, loose and easy-going. Less aggressive as a 5F1 Champ. The breakup happens at a lower frequency point, and it takes a pedal very well, even Fuzz ones. The 6 inch speaker doesn’t sound harsh at all. It’s tolerance ceiling adds exactly the right stuff at that scale of volume.🎚️🎙️ Miced up, these can create sonic miracles.🎼🎭🎉 So, let’s preserve this cool thing to let it produce some more cool guitar tones!🎸 #fenderamps #fender600 #tubeamplifier #pretweed #vintageguitarnerds #vintagefenderamp #rockandroll #6sj7 #5y3 #6v6gt #rca #tinytubeamp #guitarrecording #recordingstudio #vintagetone #almostweekend
A fine little bluesrig for a show with @jacobsonkj A fine little bluesrig for a show with @jacobsonkjell’s Bluesmonks! 🥳🎸 Music from Bonnie Rait, Robben Ford, Fleetwood Mac, JJ Cale and a few cool etc’s, together with a fine set of gentlemen. That’s going to be a lot of fun, for sure! Also a great opportunity to enjoy a unique pedal from Mr. @z.xobanka’s from Hungary. It’s a very well build fantastic sounding rendition of the 1960s Vox Tonebender MKII, a Fuzz with really cool harmonics and overtones from the upper octave🪄 He build this pedal for me, which is a great honor to begin with. All it took to get it is a session of daytime drinking in Budapest, which was quickly dealt with recently…☕️🍷🤗🍷🫨🥃😵‍💫🍷🥃?😵 #bluesguitar #slideguitar #rockandroll #gibsonlespaul #fenderbrownfacedeluxe #somepedalsareforever
What makes a creative space feel good? Plants, I g What makes a creative space feel good? Plants, I guess. 🍀 Effective, solid and a ‘minimal’ amount of gear, viby wooden interior, and good controlled acoustics is what comes to mind as well. 😌 Every now a good revamp of creative space gives new inspiration. 🗓️ So a few weeks ago I went ahead and basically stuffed the side walls of this room with rockwool under white fabric over wooden posts. 🛠️ Small wooden trims then create top to bottom acoustic panels, with a nice look. Results? Well tada... that works. 🤭 Almost finished revamping this room, but working it feels easy. 🥳 Here’s a short sample of an acoustic recording for a client, and a handclap in the room untreated vs. 1 side treated vs. both sides treated. 🪄 Have a great weekend you all!❤️ #studio #studiorevamp #acoustics #recordingonline #almostweekend❤️ #minimalgear #msrecording #furchguitars #homestudiostyle

A little bluesing on my dimed Princeton Reverb. On A little bluesing on my dimed Princeton Reverb. On YouTube a video about preamp tube swapping for better sound quality for the reissue amp. Then again on YouTube there’s also beautiful videos about birds and vegetable garden stuff. Go watch those. 🍀 #fenderprincetonreverb #gibsonlespaulgoldtop #rockandroll #vegetables #musicishealthcare

Layering some southern sunny acoustics for a clien Layering some southern sunny acoustics for a client with this sweetheart. It’s a Yamaha FG-340 from the late 70s. Been in the family for quite a while, and will give it a proper service soon! Still tracks fine as it is. 👌 Viola isn’t complaining either 🐱 Love working in this humble creative space. Don’t need anything else, except for a lot of other fancy gear, 🤣 but this setup just works, works quick and nicely. (Check out the height adjustable studio desk, which is just a teak dinner table on top of a motorised set of legs) #onlinestudio #homestudio #lovemyjob #almostweekend❤️ #acousticguitar #bluechippicks #yamahafg #1970s #recordingguitars #studiocat #thatrugreallytiedtheroomtogether #almostspringtime #studiodesk #homestudio #studiolife #whatsajob
