“Black Rain, Black Rain” - A.A. Bondy Cover
One of my favourite artists is the still-kind-of-obscure A.A. Bondy. This is the second track from his debut album “American Hearts.”
The tuning is CGCGCE (which John Fahey used on a lot of his tunes).

“Graceland” - Paul Simon Cover

“Graceland” by Paul Simon. This has been one of my favourite tunes since I was a teenager, from one of my favourite albums. It’s been in my solo show repertoire for probably 15 years now, and I actually like my version best, if I may be so bold. Someone at a show I played once said, “Your version is a lot more accessible,” which I really appreciated. I like to think of it as an Americana versio...

“The Last of the Arkansas Greyhounds” Leo Kottke practice cover - 6 String
Переглядів 1082 місяці тому
Yesterday I started learning this tune from Leo’s classic “6 & 12-String Guitar” album. I think it sounds just as compelling on a 6-string as it does on a 12! The tuning is standard, but dropped two full steps, a frequent Leo tuning. C F A# D# G C My guitar is a mahogany Tanglewood TW138 slope-shoulder dread, and I’m using Martin Retro Custom Light 11 strings (which gets a little tricky with th...

Today I show you how to play the acoustic version of José Gonzalez’ “Far Away.” This is the version that appeared in the game Red Dead Redemption, and was actually written specifically for the game. He also recorded a version with his band Junip, which is also really awesome and was featured in the film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” with Ben Stiller. Note: I've already found a spot where he...
Flat Foot Flewzy by NRBQ - Guitar Intro Lick Tutorial
Переглядів 1809 місяців тому
I’ve been obsessed with this guitar lick for decades, so I finally set about trying to learn it. And interestingly, I discovered that it’s not necessarily as hard as it sounds. I start off by talking a bit about NRBQ. 4:00 I start talking about the song. 7:08 we get into the solo itself. Biggest thing here, folks, is don’t tell yourself that you can’t do something before you’ve tried. I’d be su...
Starfield Ship Build - Erasmus - Class C
Переглядів 8211 місяців тому
I've seen a lot of builders make really good Millennium Falcons (Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300), which is still on my list of ships to build, but I decided to try my hand at another Star Wars ship, the YT-2400. This was Dash Rendar's ship in the Shadows of the Empire media...the book, the game, and comics. This one started out as a smuggler ship I'd randomly encountered; I walked in...
Starfield Ship Build - Hawksbill - Class C
Переглядів 168Рік тому
I captured a Spacer Hyena, which somehow became a UC Navy C Combat after I registered it. After making two small ships, I decided to make a big one. It occurred to me while I was designing it that the Cabot bridge, along with the "wings" made it look like a sea turtle. So I called it the Hawksbill. The automatic layouts of the ladders in the habs can be a little weird, so you can see me getting...

I didn't really get into shipbuilding my first playthrough. I messed around with it a bit, but I was still getting used to the game and figuring out the story and stuff, but now that I'm on my first NG , and after being inspired by the amazing builds over at the r/StarfieldShips subreddit, I'd try to dive into creating my own ships with more intention. This is the Lady Bug, and it started out l...
Starfield Ship Build - The Green Hornet - Class A
Переглядів 107Рік тому
Here's a walkthrough and demo of my Class A fighter, Green Hornet. I wanted to make a small ship with one hab, and in experimenting with structural parts came upon the idea of having a really long tail with an engine at the end. It's actually more like a dragonfly than a hornet, but the wing design didn't really seem to fit a dragonfly. It remains to be seen how I upgrade it in the future... Fo...
“Addison’s Walk” by Phil Keaggy - Guitar Lesson
Переглядів 506Рік тому
Here’s a rambling lesson on how to play this track from Phil’s instrumental album “Beyond Nature.” I decided to make it because I love the tune, but I've only seen a few videos of people (including Phil himself) playing the song, but nothing telling me exactly how to play it. So here's my attempt. The tuning is D-A-D-F#-B-D. If anyone cares, the guitar is a really cheapie Silvertone acoustic th...

Nick Drake - Introduction - Guitar Cover
Переглядів 5802 роки тому
A beautiful tune by the late Nick Drake. I’m not crazy about all of the strings on the original, as they seem to drown out his guitar, so I’m glad to leave them off. The picking pattern is a little tricky, and I sometimes feel that the train is about to jump the track (and does in a couple of parts here), but it’s one of my favourites to play.

How are you going from Michael bell 😊😊😊
Such a beautiful tune! Really well played and sung. Your voice has a Jackson Browne feel. 😀👏👏👏
Thank you for the vid, just contemplating about turning my tele into esquire... Green wire + naked cap=surely good for demo purposes, but not a good idea for a finished product, it's mechanically weak. Just solder that cap to the body of the switch (I see the lug peeking) instead on pot. keep up the good work mate !
Best video game moment ever. It moves me every time.
Nice, man listening to John all day, gotta learn this one!
Lovely playing!
Nicely played! 👏👏👏
Terrific! 😀
Hi... Great video! I'm looking for help on a related wiring diagram, Harmony H47... Single pickup 3 way switch. Positions 1-normal volume and tone; 2-pickup straight only volume no tone; 3-through a capacitor for a bass/wah sound. Any help appreciated.. Thanks
Could you do a cycling triviality’s tutorial?, best I’ve heard on UA-cam. Great work
Yes! I'll do one soon. I LOVE that song, and have actually used that triplet-style picking (don't know what else to call it) in a number of songs since learning it.
You are my savior. Thank you.
Red played twice in a row at the beginning? Was that a mistake?
Nice, can you do crosses by José? I would love to see you play it
I'll give it a shot! I learned that one probably 15 years ago, so I'll re-learn it and share.
Thanks for the lesson and to keeping Fergies legacy going. An intro that that makes me want to get out on the dance floor every time.
Discovered this song on Letterkenny, loved it ever since. Thanks so much for this tutorial man!
You’re welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Texting from Turkey/ Antalya. Nice to see this type of backgammon showing by a different culture. Here in Antalya we have some friends and many time we’re playing that type of backgammon. We call it ‘hapis’ (imprisonment). It’s kind of strategy play; has deeper ways, tough sides etc. Not easy like classical backgammon. But your explained rules are little different from us. We start it from 1st step inside, not outside. And, haber not the other dices (red ones). We have just one couple of dices. Locking the opponent checker is same here. Well, nice to see it in another culture.. Here also many backgammon players have no idea of that type of play which as totally different from the classic backgammon. The classic one getting bored me now. I have a Master of all masters here who gave lessons to me.. That play is kind of a war strategy; attack, defense, ambush, hostages and knockout 😂
Bro you're a gem. Thank you so much for this!!
Top 🇧🇷
I commend you for piecing this together, and i did learn the song most from you and the phil keaggy video, but this was also really frustrating to watch. I would say whenever you play guitar it would be more beneficial to focus on what youre doing instead of looking at the camera for better fluency. Im sure you can play it much better now.
I’m Palestinian Jordanian. I play mahbousi for over 30 years and with Syrians Lebanese Jordanian I never seen doubles played like that. It’s wrong. When you got .2 red double @ 16:(5 you moved too far. It should not be more that 8. You can play 1 checker to move 8 positions and your done or 1 checker 6 spots the other 2 or 2 checkers at 4 each
Yes, you're correct. But in the US we sometimes play a rule called "Acey Deuce," which means basically "onesie-twosie." It's more common to use acey-deuce in standard, Western-style backgammon (with prearranged starting places). It's not a rule that is played in traditional Middle-Eastern backgammon games like mahbusa, but we've added it to our personal game as a house rule.
in my family we call it tawla
What is the purpose of tail?
You should set all the pieces on 1 not outside the board at the begining , and start counting accordingly .
This is known as the "Tapa" (Plug, stopper, cork) at least here in Bulgaria I can assume the name will be similar for other Slavic nations. The only change is that all your pieces are located on the first field, which will mean that you start your count with the second field and number 6 is just outside of the rectangular you put your pieces in. I did not understand how you rolled 1 and 2 and managed to get to the opponents field at 6:25 . At minute 13 you also rolled 1 and 2, then continued to do random stuff. Please explain. Then at 13:36 you rolled 5 and 1, you got a piece in on 5 and said you don't have moves you should have done the same in the 1 position. You can't just not play a dice, you are obliged to if you can.
Thanks for the comment. When I rolled the 1 and 2, that's called "acey deuce," (meaning "ace"=1 and "deuce"=2) and it's common in Western-style gameplay to use acey deuce as a sort of "super double," meaning that you get to choose which number you want to double. I know that's not a thing in traditional Mahbusa, but as I mentioned in the beginning of the video at about 3:51, it's a thing that we've chosen to include when my partner and I play together. As for the bit at 13:36, I'd rolled a 5 and 1, and because we weren't starting all of our pieces on the 1 space, I counted that first space as the "1," and from there the only place I could move was 5 spaces away, which is the 6 space. Does that make sense? I think the difference is that we were taught Mahbusa with all of the pieces off the board, and you learned it with all the pieces on the 1 space. If I had started with all the pieces on the 1 space, you're absolutely right, I would have been able to move another piece.
@@NorthWriter Thanks for clarifying. I actually googled the "acey deuce" and it seems to be a rule that I did not know. So the two versions definitely have differences. I''ll try this version with my friend soon.
Shukrahn. This game is popular with my Arabic friends at the United Nations like Doctor Akhtar et al; also Abbas.
Well hopefully now you can play with them, if you didn't already know how! Thanks for watching!
Goddamn this is older then me 💀
I'm Lebanese and I've learned how to play Backgamon via my dad whonused tonpkay with his dad and thats the only version we ever played and the one we learn when we're young, a way more exciting way to play in my opinion, happy to see someone talka abt it online
That's awesome! What a fun memory to have with family, too. Glad you liked the video!
What is this guitar mate? Sounds fantastic.
Thank you! It's a Rogue Herringbone Grand Concert. It's basically a copy of the Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton model. I got it for $100, and it sounds great! The only thing is that I accidentally snapped the truss rod, so now I have to remove the fretboard to replace it. They discontinued them some time ago, and I don't see many out on the market, but for such a cheap guitar, it's actually really, really solid and well-made.
Merci mon gars, c'est parfait!
Do you need exacts to get in?
Yeah, as far as rolling off the board at the end, it's the same as western backgammon. So if you have a piece on the 6 space and the 1 space, and you roll a 5 and a 2, you will have to move the piece on the 6 space five spaces and then put it in. So you'd be left with one remaining piece on the 1 space.
What is the alternative Eldred Mod differ than the normal Eldred Mod network?
I call it "alternative" because of the piece of green wire I soldered to the cap as an extender. The standard wiring diagram says to solder the cap wire directly to the switch, but it wasn't long enough for that. I suppose "modified" would have been a better word than "alternative." But as far as the actual connections, it's the same.
@@NorthWriter ok thanks because I was confused. I wonder why Eldred at the fender custom shop made the Eldred Mod to get that cocked wah tone for what reasons for a telecaster? It must have been on some country album in the 50's or something I'm guessing
thank you!!!
Lol have no idea how you pieced this one together! So beautifully played. Thank you for sharing! This song always gets stuck in my head. Sending good vibes from PA! :)
Amazing Gotta get someone to do the strings with you!
Nice! What gauge strings do you use on your Bullet? I have an 84' MIJ Bullet.
Oh, nice! Yeah, those are such great guitars. I love the way they feel...nice and light, and small but still substantive. For strings I usually use 10s because they seem to have the best balance between flexibility and tone. 9s are just a little too snappy and not very meaty, and 11s aren't quite bendy enough.
@@NorthWriter Thanks! I have 9s on mine now, but may switch to 9.5s or 10s. I agree with you about tone and flexibility.
Is a2 the pickup node. Or tone node.
THANK YOU
I use it with a high pass filter (resistor and cap) and either a 0.0022 uF (Broadcaster type) or 0.0033 uF (Telecaster type) cap to cut out highs. Great, highly addictive sound!
Come on, let's see the ratio

@@NorthWriter i speak both languages so i understood pretty well! some words weren’t exactly how i’d say them in french (for example : tuning = accordage) but in general, it was good! very flattering :)
Is there a tutorial/tab?
I haven't found one, but I'd be happy to make a video for it!
