Thanks for your reply! By power LED you mean LED 12 on the control panel, right? (This isn't illuminating). The On/Off rocker switch (4) is illuminating.

I accidentally left my BG-100 on for an extended period and now something seems to be fried. The power supply light for the AC power socket is still on, indicating that AC power is coming in. However, the power LED indicator on the amplifier is off, so it's not receiving power. There's only one...

I really appreciate it thank you! Yes -- old video, wish I still had that much hair! :laugh:

+1 for Transcribe!, which has been as important of a tool for my transcribing/learning process as any I can think of. I don't use any of the features beyond the slow-downer, section markers, and the looping abilities but it's packed with lots of good stuff. I've also changed my OS twice and...

Thank you!!!

Thanks! I like transcribing stuff because I feel like you get a lot of bang for your practicing buck. You can work on your ears, your sight reading (if you choose to notate the material), your knowledge base and your technical proficiency at the same time! I usually just transcribe at the...

Thanks! I’m using Corelli Medium gauge strings, they’re not my favorite because they don’t speak very quickly but they’re pretty cheap— I much prefer Spiro light gauge strings. I’m using Nyman rosin but I like pops just as much, Nyman is just what I have on hand. I use a David Gage carbon...

Honestly my work life balance as of late has done a pretty good job of busting my chops up, no tire iron needed!

Hi, I am not an expert in music or linguistics so whatever ideas I express are personal and likely won't meet the academic standard for syntax or generative grammar. Does syntax have any relevance when speaking about blowing over rhythm changes? Well, I think so! Because, in reality, I am...

Hi everyone! I made another transcription video recently, but I’ve included the transcription this time so you can play along, or grab any ideas you like. I’ve also added a second companion video where I try to improvise in the style of the person I’ve transcribed and try to demonstrate the...

First of all, thank you! Second, I see music and technique as being kind of inseparable, which is to say that the music informs the technique. I just try to learn music that I like and teach myself little technical lessons in the process. If there's a phrase that's hard I'll break the phrase...

Last week's quarantine project!

The quarantine in NYC sucks, but an upshot is there's plenty of time to check out new music. I just learned this amazing piano solo by Kevin Gastonguay on Cory Wong's album Elevator Music for an Elevated Mood. I love how it's a short solo but incredibly satisfying musically and emotionally...
