It's not long until the 1st of June, so why not pick up the guitar and learn some catchy tunes for the summer? I've just published version 7.0 of Fretboard, which brings more accurate chord name prediction, note names on hover for the neck top toggles, and a couple of fixes for various small issues encountered since last release. It should be on Flathub very soon!

“Each night, Sharon put Ozzy in the same cities we were booked to play”: Inside the bad blood following Ozzy Osbourne’s sacking from Black Sabbath
Tony Iommi and Tony Martin have recalled the tension between Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne following his sacking from the band in 1979.
I had a bit of time to record two new tracks to my ongoing instrumental/ambient project “music for snailports”. Trying to just have a mini idea of how I want something to sound and then doing some spontaneous recording. These ones came out a bit #GuitarSoli or like kind of reminds me of being by the ocean.
Here’s the bandcamp for listening, the new ones are “C” and “D”:
After about 6 months, I finished up a guitar I built for my 16yr old kid. We used maple (which is heavy, but sturdy). It's a Telecaster body style, and he picked out the electronics. We're both pretty happy with how it turned out!
Had an idea to take an old song I wrote and meld it with an new one I am working on. It worked! Took the guitar part and made it the bass line. Once it got the tempo correct it was all good. #MakingMusic#HomeRecording#LogicPro#Guitar#Bass
Workflow improvement - dry erase sheet for listing the blocks of a song. A more detailed sheet I showed a few weeks ago was good for composing and planning but too small to follow for recording and I’d get lost between takes for what section I’m in. Really need a karaoke style display on my iPad that shows song sections as the track progresses but this worked well today. #guitar#musicprod#gearsquad
Good band practice today. We're doing a bunch of covers and reviving one song we wrote together in the 90s. All starting to sound pretty good but guess the one song and #guitar solo I made a pig's ear of. Yes, our own, and my own.
You know you've written a pretty song if #jazz guitarist Pat Metheny plays a cover of it. Here on acoustic #guitar is Pat's rendition of Nora Jones' "Don't Know Why"
Another song to put in your chill out playlist. https://youtu.be/PibCsTpUV9E?feature=shared&t=647
So I could get a Muffuletta 6-in-1 #Muff#fuzz#pedal for $200 r/t $250 while they're on sale.
Triangle, Pi, Ram's Head, Russian, Ciivil War. I read that the mids vary. #GAS#guitar#effectPedal#GearSquad
Had a bit of a #SaturdayMorningGuitar session this morning, but then an early out-for-breakfast, so have been delving back into related activity this afternoon.
I compile music charts in a way that I prefer for easy reference while playing, and I've been a bit backlogged on songs I wanted to capture that way.
A couple of people have asked, since my recent instance change, about what I'm playing - musically speaking. Recently, I've been just messing around for a couple of hours, no more than 3-4 takes, and no previous idea of what I was going to do. Usually on a Sunday morning. As you can imagine it can vary in success widely but I'm also trying to learn how to record myself, get better at playing, everything really ... Here is a recent one.
