Shameless Video Of Me Playing My New Guitar

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Shameless video post. Please excuse the vomit face I make when I play…. I’ve spent years trying to stop doing that… trust me, it aint’ going away (though it has gotten better)… I think I inherited it from my dad.

Expect something cooler / plugged in later this weekend when I have a moment to do that. :D

Xotic Ep-Booster (nerdy guitar content inside)

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

I’m in Ottawa this weekend for my cousin Emily’s wedding. Luckily I had a bit of time to head over to the local music shop (which i’ve heard a lot about recently) called Lauzon Music. They had a relatively decent assortment of higher end Gibson’s, Fenders, various acoustic guitars, and a room in the back that had a bunch of Dr Z amps – which was really nice to see. I love me some DrZ! I had a Z28 for some time, and it was certainly one of the nicest built and sounding amp for the money that I can think of. I’d definitely consider getting one of them again in the future (probably a Ghia).

Klon Has Landed

Friday, February 12th, 2010

The Klon pedal arrived today! Yay! So stoked to try this thing out – I hope it was worth all the hype!

In other news, I picked up a Skreddy Screwdriver pedal last night as well. Haven’t played with it for more than an hour, but its certainly going to be a staple on my board. What an amazing pedal. Very Fat sounding. I’ll post some photos, and a review as soon as I get a chance!

Oldie, but a Goodie!

This is a couple months old now, but I was just watching it, and thought it might be nice to post it here. I believe this is us playing in Saskatoon when we were on our opening tour for Mishka. Good times!

I was playing my old telecaster that had a bigsby on it. Missin’ the bigsby!

The thing I remember the most about this gig, is that it was in this wicked restaurant that gave us the pick of anything we wanted. Naturally, we all chose various meats, Nachos, I think I actually had ribs.. mmmmmmm..
