Guitar stuff

Since my life now revolves around being a guitar player, may as well share one of my favorite solos ever: John Mayer’s version of Crossroads!

He takes the up-tempo and crazy Cream version and flips it on it’s head, making it funky and jaunty. Really cool phrasing and dynamics.

Nickup Winder 2.0

Second attempt at the Pickup Winding Machine!

This one uses a Rasperry Pi and servo motors for more precise control. Digitally calibrate the extreme ends of the pickup bobbin, then wind with presets (Linear, Random) or Manually using the controls.

You can even save your wind and re-run it later! How’s that for productivity??

This was the 1.0 version for reference, you can see how much improvement a 2nd prototype can yield

Pedals, pedals, pedals

The endless quest for tone (and the Holy Grail fuzz)

Another Covid projec that turned into an ongoing addiction, pedal building is the LEGO of the guitar world. Why buy a pedal for $100 when you can make it for $15?

The famed Ligma Drive, that I still use on my board to this day
