And a happy one at that. All the best to you and your loved ones.

I’m beginning the process of writing material for my 2012 opus, and I have high hopes for a seriously rocking disc. So stay tuned for progress on the writing.

Meanwhile some goings on . I picked up a Samson CT20 clip tuner and it’s pretty slick. Also, after doing the Tone King Holiday contest I just threw down a quick preset from Guitar Rig 5 to finish up the guitar audio to import back to the video…. And it sounded amazing. I’ve gotten compliments on it and it’s growing on me. Sooooo I’ve begun tweaking that preset and adding some more “mics” to it and using the Control Room Pro feature to it fullest in Guitar Rig. The idea is to get the wall of sound with fewer tracks and its promising.  I plan to record a simple track with different guitar sounds to make a decision on what I want for the CD. I also found a killer filter bank/harmonized part in Guitar Rig 5 that I already have riffs and ideas for a song. This is going to be sick!!!

Lastly, let me say guitarist Neil Zaza is HORRIBLY UNDERRATED. I just ordered his upcoming CD “Clyde The Cat” and it’s great. He is such a melodic player with insane chops. His tone, articulation, melodic sense and shredability are off the charts. Since I preordered it before Christmas I got to download it and will receive it once it’s released with his last CD “212.”

That’s it for now…. Rock on!!

I ordered myself a Custom Shop Carvin back in September. It was the delivered this afternoon. Here’s a few pics. Expect a review soon.

Hello all. It’s been a fun weekend.. and we are near the holidays here in the States. That is a time of great fun, and family focus. It’s usually been a tough time for me “musically” because so much is going on in my household this time of year.. BUT believe me.. I will make every effort I can to get blogs up and videos too on a regular basis. In the abscence of that.. my Twitter I’m sure will be alight with all kinds of nuggets of good info. So tune in there…

As I’m typing this.. I’m uploading a new video to my Youtube channel. It’s an overview of my #2 axe known as “Andra.” It is my Carvin V220C.  I also shot videos with my Carvin ST300C and my Ibanez RG3120DR Prestige.. but the ST300C video had some issues with the blue screeen and MIGHT have to be redone. Stay tuned for that….

If I do have to reshoot the video, I hope to do it this week.. but I MIGHT just upload the video with the best “fix” I can.. or just omit the “bluescreeen” altogether for that video.  But be on the lookout for the other videos I did.

Thanks all and Rock on!

Peter
