    That is what a Gibson J200 is for

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Thanks for the nice words, my friend.

    What you see in the sound hole is the condenser mic of a K&K Triniti Mini System. I never use plugged in sound from a guitar while recording in a studio. Only a condenser mic in front of the instrument. And yes, the guy in the studio has a talent!

    Just poking a little fun - I think we need to do a split screen video of you and BK... you in your all white ensemble, and BK in his infamous black T.   You go back and forth, you play something deep and thought provoking, and BK responds with a blues version.   And it ends with you both walking off screen for a second, and then coming back with switch swapped outfits.  

    This would be a real great video!

    If you believe tonight in Me,

    the night will squeak out outside the doorstep,

    for every darkness from Me runs away

    and every weeping subsides comforted.

     

    The bitter wormwood of the faith

    From My cup you will slowly drink

    and I will wash your fears to white.

    It will be evening, then morning - day one.

     

    You will drink until full that day,

    of the truth from the water alive.

    And quiet light will pour,

    if you believe in Me tonight

     

    I will forget your infidelities,

    I will give you a hand, I will get you straight

    and I will do your wounds My wounds-

    for My son was lost - and found himself.

     

    But you don't get down on your knees yet -

    does not believe long, who believes quickly -

    for the people like to be wrong,

    but the lie has no harbor in Me.

    If you believe tonight in Me,

    your life in two will break,

    as a homeless one you will go astray,

    to a fairy-tale homeland aspiring.

     

    And more than once on your thorny road

    you will cry alone over the spruce fields,

    that the faith with tears is watered

    and its hard fruit will be bitter.

     

    Will howl the hell, rooted in you

    and until your death you will thirst for paradise.

    And only death will I not promise you -

    if you believe tonight in Me.

    if there is no a sea, if there are no rapanas,

     

    if there are no figs with hearts like wounds,

     

    if there are no eyelids, out of sadness salty,

     

    if there are no surfs, if there is no excitement,

     

    if there are not roughened by the rocky palms,

     

    if there are no moons, if there are no harbors,

     

    if there is no a shattering from the hubbub fire,

     

    if there are no smiles reaching The God,

     

    if there are no crabs, no fish, no shells,

     

    if there is nothing to taste and see ...

     

     

     

    ... make a raft out of your soul and let it go

     

    to the distant missing sights and lips.

     

    And even if the real world to judge you:

     

    know - then there it will have. Then it will be.

    Hi there. It is Easter in my prat of the World.

    I'd like to share with you a studio record of the title song from my second studio album.

    If you are interested I will post a translation of the lyrics (not written by me).

    I would appreciate your comments (in youtube too).

    Music is mine, I sing it and I play all the guitar parts.

    Enjoy:

     

    Does Tone-Rite really work?

    Can you share with us the guitars you have treated with your ToneRite unit and the results achieved? double bonus points if you have pics ;)

     

    Here is a picture:

    DSC00200_zpsf8anx2ph.jpg

     

    These are half of my guitars. Basically they are stored in my home. I have about eight others stored in my studio.

    I used the ToneRite on every one of these instruments on the picture above. And on my other guitars. And also I used it on guitars of my friends who did not know what the ToneRite is (to show them).

    I used it when the instruments came in the house purchased new or used.

    I tonerited every guitar for different periods of time. The longest period as |I remember was 3 months on the classical guitar.

    The toneriting process "opened up" every guitar. The sound became louder, the articulation improved. The guitar started play better.

    The most significant effect was obtained on my Gibson J45 Cobra burs (right end on the second row the picture above). After about ten days (and nights) continuous toneriting the guitar started to thunder like a cannon!

    I am not so strong in these sound changing descriptions as I am not a native English speaking person and it is not easy for me to express me in English language. But I testify that that ToneRite thing does its job well. Very well. Because I hear the difference.

    Ah yeah - and it kills the strings. As described. But when I tonerite a guitar I put an old set of strings.

    That is what I have to say about. It is based on my own experience and I would not dare to try to convince you to buy a ToneRite.

    May be you should try it.

    P.S. To those who have bought our products, thank you for your support and for being a valued member of our ToneRite family.

     

    I am one of that family. The ToneRite is a wonderful small machine that works fine.

    As I said above I used it during the years on many guitars.

    The effect on the guitar sound is exactly what the manufacturer describes.

    I am based on my personal experience.

    And I thank to ToneRite for that device.

    Gibson, Ebay and Japan

    Even though I'm not in the market for another instrument, I still surf Ebay just to see what's out there. Has anyone else noticed that a majority of new Gibson acoustics are from Japanese sellers? Are an inordinate amount of instruments shipped there? Or, is there a Gibson policy barring U.S. sellers from listing on Ebay? Any ideas? Opinions?

     

    What you do is a GAS,not in an acute but in a chronic subacute phase...

    My latest song based on the lyrics of a friend. Recorded this one with my ZOOM Q3 HD using my new Gibson J180 Billie Joe.

    Death came and then went away

     

    Death is a waiter who takes us away

     

    Needed as a glass of wine

     

    Unnecessary as a very empty cup.

     

     

     

    A guard is she. Prevents from greatness.

     

    Prevents our divinity.

     

    Death hides due to its propriety

     

    And she is always so natural.

     

     

     

    But we are always too surprised

     

    Because they are never enough

     

    The life or the vine and the bread

     

    Or our vicious unconceptions.

     

     

     

    Before the feeling of a movement

     

    I sit at the table and I order

     

    Serenity for me and for my fellow creatures

     

    but cruelly empty are all the barrels.

     

     

     

    I figure out that there is nothing scary

     

    The laughter of the silence is contagious

     

    Remained a half full glass

     

    And I'm already half empty.
