Let Me Go
Yet another one garaunteed to fill the dancefloor.......ok....maybe not. Maybe it's being Scottish, but sad and miserable is a rich hunting ground for me songwise. This song is from the perspective of someone who knows they are going to die and wants to let go of physical world, but for those that know them to hold on to their memory. Does that even make sense? As with many of my songs the worry that Ive ripped something else off prevails. What the hey.....I enjoyed making it.

Over Again

OVER AGAIN - Still mega busy with other stuff so again, apologies for the sporadic posting. Life's just one big Hamster Wheel these days! Old time smoky jazz club vibe to this. Not sure how Id look in a suave dinner suit and bow tie singing this. My usual attire is that of a down and out. I always engage an apologetic look when put in a suit, like I know I shouldn't be there.
MOCKINBIRD

Loosely based around the Mockingbird Nursery Rhyme. Words just seemed to fit, and it saved me a job, so all good! Hush, little baby don't you Hush, little baby don't say a word Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird And if that mocking bird don't sing Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring is brass Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke Papa...
Steinberger GR4 Running Restoration. R Trem repair.
Переглядів 5643 місяці тому
Just bought this 1990's Steinberger GR4 guitar. it had suffered the all to common post problem that affects R Trems. My take as to why this happens is that your friendly local neanderthal decides to bottom out your trem to make the strings go all floppy. You cannot do that on these Trems. You may THINK you've got away with it, however the first thing you will notice after is that the tuning has...
Last Train Home

Last Train Home. Who doesn't love old steam trains, and old B&W films with meeting the love of your life under a railway clock, and breathless goodbyes. Or, the mad rush to catch the last train home after a night out, clutching your bag of chips.

Right, before you accuse me of going all soppy with the last song, here's a full on rock song to restore balance. WARNING-Has sweary word in the chorus!

This has been a very interesting one. It's about the sloppiest most romantic thing you are likely to hear from me. I have a few trusted friends that I try songs out on before posting. My mate liked it and said, it had touches of Don Henley. Not someone Im familiar with so I googled and found the boys of summer and was like......hmmmmm......ok that maybe does have a touch of that (three notes on...

After the last song Paisleys Lament, before you think Ive bought a Fishermans sweater and become a folk singer, here's a noisier one to redress the balance.
Paisleys Lament
Переглядів 344 місяці тому
A Lament to Paisley I cannot take credit for the guitar melody of this. It was written (I think) by a guy called Daniel J Harris who has some music under the Acoustic Guitar Poet on You Tube. The original track is called Simply Beautiful if you google it. I heard it, started singing along and, before I knew it, had an idea, wrote some lyrics and added some "orchestration". You could replace the...
Spitfire

SPITFIRE - OK, haven't done an instrumental yet. This is full on chill out music to listen to when your trying to go to sleep. The name came about as I used a lot of sounds from LABS from Spitfire Audio. In my head it then became about how it must feel to fly that AMAZING plane when you are at one with the plane. Pilots would probably become oblivious to the glorious sound of the Merlin engine ...
Head Down

Head Down OK, full on Rock song this time. Ive got this feeling that I could have ripped off any number of classic rocks songs here, as it sounds awffy familiar? Recorded this one using an Explorer guitar I assembled myself from a kit. Sounds great and this is a fun song to play along with. That's another of my hobbies. You can spend many thousands on a guitar. I like the cheap stuff. Dont have...
Flying High

Mid Week Warble. This is a very laid back chilled one. Growing up I really liked artists on the Wyndham Hill Music Label. They used to put out albums with a selection of artists that were just fantastic. Another band I really liked were The Blue Nile. This song has got a hint of both of them in it. Copyright 2024

Wrestled with this one all week. Some songs are just great fun start to finish, this was not one of those. I wrote it and play all the instruments, but I haven't got a clue what the lyrics/theme are all about?!?! Serial Killer singing to themselves in the mirror? All a bit dark!

See what a good sleep does. Woke up and thought......it needs BANJO! Plus it was a little bit distorted at times. Will leave the old version up for comparison. Copyright 2024

VW New Beetle Convertible Roof Latch Handle Droops?
Hey, friendly suggestion. The bg music makes is hard to put up with. And masks your words. Better just to speak and not worry about “production”
Otherwise I really enjoyed this, thanks.
Great video, I too have a way to fix these bridges and posted a video. Glad we have two options for repairing these import bridges.
I have a Spirit which has the same trem, and dive bombing on it is the last thing I'd ever do. The trem on mine is much stiffer than say a floyd or a 6-screws strat bridge. I still apreciate it as a trem bridge though. I'm more used to bending string on trem bridge than fixed bridge.
Yes, they are stiffer than normal trems. I keep it to tasteful dips and light shimmers
Did they ever make NON-licensed R-trems? I mean, when the patent was still on ofc. I'm neanderthalin' on mine once in a while lol.
I have a Hohner Spirit and it looks to have the identical tremolo on it. I assume the same factory still makes them. You get cheap Chinese version badged Overlord of Music. You do now have other companies making really good quality version such as J Custom and even RWB Precision Engineering making brand new TransTrems.
@@ferncottageardentinny yeah, but seems like even the actually US-made GR4's had licensed ones, it's a bit weird! Fingers crossed for yours to not un-repair itself.
Extraordinary work, Alistair! Friends reunited indeed.
Really lovely!
Hii I’m currently having this problem. What did you use ?
As in to lubricate? WD40 or anything similar then just work them all back and forth to lubricate.
