There is a fun Kramer "idol" contest at the Kramer forum site that I thought I would submit an original for - so I put this song together. Its all Kramer Pacer.....sometimes I dork around with other guitars but for the competition I though I would keep it pure...haha. To give credit where it is...

Haven't posted too much in awhile - started doing a bunch of Truefire courses and that took a bunch of time (along with life in general :0) ).....doing a bit more writing lately and finished up a couple of songs: Stay Weird and Strut. Both are kinda blues funky tunes. Pardon the slide playing...

Just finished a kind of funky fuzzy song - "Just Smile and Wave". Used my Kramer Pacer for most of the song, except the slide stuff, where it was my telecaster (just learning the slide so don't laugh :0) ) I got a PTD mini bone awhile back so I wanted to try it in a song. Fuzz is awesome, but I...

Just finished working out some of the kinks on my baritone and decided I want to try recording with it. I used sparingly before in another song but I had to rework the frets and nut + put some wood under the P90s to get them closer to the strings. Pretty simple shuffley "song" - just the...

Haven't finished a song for awhile so it was good to finally complete this one. Its about my old hound Oreo - gets a bit zany in the middle....sorry :0) http://www.reverbnation.com/dmacki As always its awesome just to play guitar and write.....

Just along for the ride on this one. An old friend of mine gave me some vocals/bass/drums tracks to play to. He recorded them back in the 90s with a blues band he was playing with. One of them was this awesome cover of Killing Floor - so away I went and put some guitar to the tracks. Lots of...

I have an old friend who recently sent me over some tracks of some songs, he did back in the 90s, to see if I wanted to play to them. One of the them was "Wild Flower" - a song he did with a band called the Drunkabilles (he is playing the stand up bass). They use to busk on Yonge street in...

Twisted 80s - Kinda zany short hard rock tune....I managed to stuff the riff from "I want your sex" in there and made darn sure I got my "voice box" pedal (its the Strymon Mobius Formant filter) in a solo...haha ....uhhh, EGAD rules :0) As always, its great just to play guitar, write and...

Over the last 6 months I have been working on my Baritone project. Basically done other than some finishing touches.. - Warmoth Paduk/ebony neck on a Richard Saylor body (paduk/ash) - JS Moore pickups with single volume knob, 3 pup selector for N, N/B, B and a single small...

Got some hammond b3 loops from Sony (Joe Vitale: Organ Donor) and wanted to try writing a song around them. So this is what came about...kinda funky rockish I guess. As always I had lots of fun playing and writing. I used my Albert Lee P90 guitar. Is it me or is Reverbnation getting harder to...

Just finished this one up. It took me a long time to do as it was a bit outside of what I am use to playing, though I really enjoyed working out the parts. The drums were the main inspiration for the song - they are from the Earth Beats Discrete Drums CD. A bit of a whacky mix of everything. As...

Well I finally managed to get my Kramer Pacer back together. Its hasn't been played in about 10 years and I have been chomping at the bit to get it going for the last 1.5 years (waiting to get it painted). Sorry about the big pics... Some highlight and lowlights of the history of the...

Just finished up a couple of songs The first is "Mr Blue". I just finished putting my old 1985 Kramer back together and a "Kramer Idol" contest came up over the holidays. I kinda cobbled this song together based on a really old riff. Its kinda zany - I had to finish it quick and I had no idea...

Quick question - I have a set of CS+'s in my G&L Legacy. At the moment the guitar is stripped down as I am replacing the trem block. I got to thinking that it maybe interesting to split the coils when in the 2 or 4 positions, though I am wondering if the sound of the pups change that much and...

My pickup switches are going, both, in my Tele and Strat (G and L). Are there "good" ones out there that last longer than others? Also for the tele - are there switches with a smaller lower body? I was thinking when I change that I may do the Nashville mod thing but I don't think I have enough...
